There is much good work to be done. We encourage all of you to get involved in what interests you. Please let us know where you can contribute your leadership and talents, so we can continue to strengthen our community of faith, service, and friendship.
Our Steering Committee members are listed below:
Paul Boyer joins Cassie Kim as the second Ohioan (and Miami University alum!) on the Steering Committee. Paul moved to San Francisco in June 2008 and found St. Vincent de Paul Parish and the Young Adult Group soon after. Paul has a passion for making people feel welcomed and involved in our faith community and is working to grow the active membership base of the group. Paul thanks his parents for their strong faith and support and credits their example for his desire to be an active member of his parish. Paul works for Genentech in South San Francisco and enjoys being outdoors, skiing, and volunteering in his free time.
John Brust became a parishoner at St. Vincent de Paul shortly after moving to San Francisco in the fall of 2001. Now, he helps lead events and represents the young adult community on the parish council. John credits his parents and grandparents for instilling the importance of family and a strong faith community - both which he has been blessed to find at St. Vincent de Paul. After living in Vail for a number of years, John has a passion for the outdoors, which he keeps alive through running, cycling, and skiing. He works in the software industry as a director of product marketing and can be heard rooting for the Fighting Irish during college football season.
Cathy Carrig has been a member of St. Vincent's young adults since 2003. She's enjoyed being part of the hospitality committee for the and is so happy to have formed many great new friendships. She is thankful to her parents and grandma for their extraordinary examples of strong faith and she appreciates the opportunities the young adult group provides to deepen her own faith.

Jay Daftary become a parishioner at St. Vincent de Paul in July 2006 and has been a devoted member of the young adult group since he moved to the city. Jay's enthusiasm for the young adult group can be seen by his heartfelt work on the hospitality committee and on the retreat planning committee. Jay currently works as a casualty underwriter for the American International Group in San Francisco and is a native of Stockton, California. When he is not working, Jay enjoys spending time with friends, travelling, foreign films, spectator sports, wine tasting, and is an active member of the Santa Clara University alumni chapter in San Francisco.
