Dear Friends,
Saint Therese has been blessed. Since we opened our doors on January 9, 1968, we have
been ­honored to serve thousands of individuals and their families as they travel through
the aging process.
What an amazing journey these last 45 years have been. What began as a 200-bed single
campus in the northwest suburbs has transformed into an organization that offers a true
continuum of care on campuses across the metro area, as well as in individual homes.
As the years past, our traditions continue to remind us who we are and where we came
from. We hold steadfast to our traditions of insight, faith, volunteerism and generosity.
In the 2012-13 annual report we spend time reflecting on the traditions of Saint Therese.
You will read about how these traditions helped form the organization we are today.
We are grateful to the friends and families who have celebrated these traditions and
helped us create new ones.

Last spring, Saint Therese launched the first Youth
Volunteer Scholarship event honoring youth who serve
older adults. The scholarship was created to recognize
intergenerational connections and encourage other
youth to engage in meaningful relationships with
seniors. During the event four individuals were awarded
$1,000 educational scholarships based on a written
essay about their experience volunteering with an
older adult.

Dorothy Zelenak, supported by Aquatic
Therapist Stacey Neville, was the first tenant
in the pool at the Oxbow Lake campus.
Saint Therese at Oxbow Lake opened the warm-water
aquatic pool in the fall of 2012 and Dorothy Zelenak
was there. Dorothy, an avid swimmer at the local
YMCA, was thrilled to learn the Brooklyn Park campus
would be opening a pool for residents and tenants,
and she wanted to be first in the pool. When the day
arrived, Dorothy was smiling from ear to ear. The
pool offers a variety of individual and group classes,
as well as open swim for residents, tenants and local
community members.
Residents, families and staff are now
able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of
Saint Therese at the St. Odilia community.
On January 9, 2013 Saint Therese celebrated 45 years of care and services. A large
group of Saint Therese staff gathered to take a picture to mark the special event.

surrounding the small community. With an outpouring
of support from Saint Therese donors and the
Catholic Community of the St. Odilia parish, the
landscaping project was completed in the summer
of 2013. The project includes a patio, walking path
and a gazebo for individuals and families to enjoy.

A Tradition of Insight

New Hope in 1972.

On a brisk January day in
1968 a local woman by the
name of Mary Zepp walked
into the front doors of
Saint Therese Home in
New Hope, Minnesota,
fulfilling the hopes and
dreams of a special group
of people. The mere
presence of Mary turned
the idea of Saint Therese
into a reality.
Prior to 1968,
Saint Therese Home
was simply a vision in the minds of
founders Jerry Choromanski, Father Gordon Mycue,
Sister Marcelline Jung and Elizabeth Hidding. The
four visionaries had a mountain to climb before their
dream of quality Catholic senior care in the northwest
suburbs would be realized.
At a time when nursing homes consisted of eight
to 16 bed wards, Saint Therese planned to step out
of the institutional box and create a nursing home that
offered a bit of home. Instead of beds placed in lines in
a large auditorium-style room, two individuals would share
a room, with a door, a vanity and an adjoining bathroom.
Instead of a large stately building amongst a concrete
landscape, Saint Therese would sit nestled amongst the
grandeur of nature with a peaceful outdoor setting for
individuals and families to enjoy. As those four founders
considered the future of the organization, the tradition of
insight at Saint Therese began.
Since Mary Zepp, Saint Therese has seen great
changes in the senior care industry, often times leading
the conversation for change.
In the mid-1990s Saint Therese was one of the first
nursing homes in the Midwest to create a Palliative Care wing.
Palliative care can be provided to anyone, at any time,
experiencing a terminal chronic illness. Launched by
health care innovators, the Saint Therese of New Hope
campus’ palliative care wing helped to change the
perspective of caring for older adults as they begin their
end-of-life journey.
During a simple survey in 2006, Saint Therese
learned that older adults living on campus had a great
fear of falling. In response to the survey, Saint Therese
Rehabilitation and Fitness, now STR, created a balance initiative
that focuses on preventing and treating balance disorders
through education, exercise and treatment.
Each Saint Therese community now features an
extensive balance program which utilizes one of the top
balance treatment pieces of equipment in the nation.
Developed by NASA, the NeuroCom SMART Equitest
Balance machine provides objective data to assist therapists
as they develop action plans for older adults who are
concerned about their balance.
Saint Therese has been blessed by insightful
individuals who see a need and respond. Although we
have many notable accomplishments, our tradition
of insight can be seen each day in the care we provide
to each individual.

A Tradition of Generosity

As a nonprofit, Saint Therese
continually invests in our
organization. We invest in
our programs and services,
our buildings and our staff.
We take special note to
invest in areas that will
make the biggest impact
for the individuals and
families we serve.
Our investments
are often led by the
thoughts and innovations
of our board and staff,
but it is the generosity of others that
makes it possible for us to fulfill our mission.
Seeing a need for Catholic senior care, our founders
created an organization that serves seniors no matter
what their financial status. As our founders oversaw the
construction, ordered the equipment and ensured all
the requirements were met, the sisters from St. Paul’s
Priory began serving with a generous spirit.
Before each resident moved into a room at Saint
Therese they were visited in their own home by a sister. In
1968, Saint Therese was a 200-bed community and
there were many people to visit.
The sisters visited with each resident to not only
give them an idea of what to expect, but they also
wanted to get to know the resident. Each offering
their own personal touch, the sisters wanted to make
sure each individual would know someone on their
first day at Saint Therese, making that day a little more
comfortable.
When family members face a loved one’s
diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia, Saint Therese
offers a support group hosted on campus. The support
group is provided during non-business hours so families
can attend and is led by a staff member on her own time.
As with their own families, Saint Therese employees
are generous in the care and support of the individuals
and families we serve.
In the fall of 2012 the Saint Therese Board of
Directors reaffirmed their commitment to support
older adults with limited resources by establishing The
Monsignor J. Jerome Boxleitner Endowment Fund.
A founding board member of Saint Therese,
Monsignor J. Jerome Boxleitner was a passionate advocate
for the poor and underserved for over 50 years. The new
fund provides support to older adults who have outlived their
resources, allowing them to remain at Saint Therese.
The Saint Therese Foundation raised funds for
the endowment at the 23rd Annual Associate Dinner
in 2012. Inspired by a compassionate speech made that
evening by Msgr. Boxleitner about giving back, social
justice and the future of those less fortunate, the generous
attendees of the dinner raised over $146,000 for older
adults with limited resources, one of the highest amounts
ever garnered at an associate dinner.
Our tradition of generosity comes from many
sources, especially people like you.
Seeing a need
for Catholic
senior care, our
founders created
an organization
that serves seniors
no matter what
their financial
status.

A Tradition of Faith
Sisters from St. Paul’s
Priory in 1966.

Faith has always been
an honored tradition at
Saint Therese. As the
health care industry
has changed over
the last 45 years with
new technology
and innovation,
faith has remained
an influential
pillar of care at
Saint Therese.
Saint Therese
founder Jerry Choromanski relied on his
faith and sought the guidance of St. Therese of Lisieux as
he planned, researched and built the Saint Therese
organization.
Sisters from St. Paul’s Priory were the first caregivers
to serve the residents at Saint Therese, offering medical
and spiritual support. A small convent was built on-site
for the sisters to find respite following 14- to 16-hour days
serving individuals in the care center. Just as they offered
faith to older adults, they leaned on their faith for the
strength to continue to support others.
Over the years, with each new addition and new
phase of the Saint Therese organization, our leaders
have relied on their faith to guide and uphold us.
From the late 70s, when the Saint Therese of
New Hope apartment building was breaking ground,
to 2006 when the Oxbow Lake campus was being
built, Bishops from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and
Minneapolis were present; blessing the grounds, the
building and the future inhabitants. Faith has always
remained at the forefront of our thoughts.
However, the face of faith has changed. Over the
years, the religious demographic at Saint Therese has
expanded well beyond our Catholic beginnings. While we
honor our Catholic faith, we also recognize and respect
the variety of faiths served at Saint Therese.
With one of the largest senior care pastoral teams
in the area, individuals seeking spiritual guidance at
Saint Therese will find support through an eclectic
group of spiritual servants.
Our Catholic population is served with the
assistance of deacons, priests and sisters from a variety
of religious orders, as well as some of the original sisters
from St. Paul’s Priory. Saint Therese has also been blessed
with other spiritual leaders consisting of chaplains, a Baptist
minister and a Lutheran pastor.
From one on one visits to group bible studies and
daily worship services, individuals from all faiths can
find spiritual support as they journey through aging.
As Saint Therese continues to grow and expand,
so does our tradition of faith.
The face of faith
has changed.
Over the years,
the religious
­demographic at
Saint Therese has
expanded well
beyond Catholic.

A Tradition of Volunteerism

10
Volunteers at Saint Therese
have always had important
roles to play. From candy
stripers and Auxilians
to school groups and local
bands, volunteers bring
a level of warmth and
energy that enhances
the quality of life of
the individuals served
by Saint Therese.
Before any of the
Saint Therese buildings
or campuses existed,
volunteers were a driving
force in the organization. In the summer of 1967 a
special group of women gathered to create the Saint Therese
Auxiliary. Auxilians not only volunteer their time, but
they are dedicated fundraisers who have helped Saint
Therese purchase critical care center nursing equipment
and buses, as well as operate an on-site gift shop.
In the 1970s Saint Therese’s volunteer program
included young adults in candy striper uniforms who
supported residents with their daily lives.
In her early teens Saint Therese employee Pauline
Stassen was a candy striper. For a couple hours each
week Pauline would ride her bike down to the Saint
Therese of New Hope campus to help out with various
daily activities. Dressed in a red and white striped dress,
Pauline and a few of her friends would visit with residents,
feed them lunch and play card games. In the 70s candy
stripers were irreplaceable at Saint Therese.
Today, there are many events and activities that
simply would not be possible without the support of
volunteers. Events and activities like card making, rug
weaving, Happy Hour socials and bingo are all supported by
volunteers. Volunteers also help with mass and other
worship services.
“Without volunteers we wouldn’t have readers,
cantors, escorts, Eucharistic ministers or organists to
assist with services,” said Matt Crawford, Director of
Volunteer Services. “Over the years Saint Therese has
been honored with an amazing group of volunteers
who are committed to our mission.”
Individuals like Dick Macko. Dick first played an
instrument at Saint Therese back in the late 60s at
an ice cream social for a friend. As his popularity grew
at Saint Therese and in the larger community the Dick
Macko Band was a hot commodity, but Dick always
kept Saint Therese in his heart. Dick and his band have
played for the residents and tenants at Saint Therese for over
45 years. Dick knows many of the tenants and will play
their favorites including “Edelweiss,” “In the Mood”
and “Under Paris Skies.”
“It’s fun, I enjoy being here,” Dick said. “The people
are great and I enjoy making them happy.”
Volunteers at Saint Therese provide a level of support
that cannot be matched by any other department in the
organization. Volunteers provide the extras in life that
make Saint Therese such a wonderful place to
call home.
Without volunteers
we wouldn’t
have readers,
cantors, escorts,
Eucharistic
ministers or
organists to assist
with services.

Celebrating New Traditions
In 1978 Saint Therese
of New Hope built a
220 apartment building.
12
Each year, new traditions are
created at Saint Therese.
Some traditions are
connected to events and
activities, while others
represent an exceptional care
or service Saint Therese
provides. The tradition could be
the celebration of an “angel”
for the “Angels Among Us”
dinner or the tradition could
be an expanded level of care
that launches a department
into a division such
as Saint Therese Rehab.
Most often, the
tradition begins when an
individual or a group proposes an idea that
takes on a life of its own.
In 2011, a member of the Associate Dinner committee
said, “To keep me involved, get my kids involved.” This
statement sparked an idea. The committee decided
something was needed to engage and recognize youth
volunteers at Saint Therese. A scholarship program was
developed to encourage intergenerational relationships
and recognize youth who volunteered with older adults.
Individuals, between the ages of 12 and 18, submitted
an essay about their experience volunteering with an
older adult. Two recipients were chosen and awarded
$500 scholarships.
Blessing Ogunyemi, 14, and Jacob Shrode, 18, were
the first two recipients of the Saint Therese Youth Volunteer
Scholarship. Blessing spoke about her volunteer experience
at the Associate Dinner in 2011.
“Volunteering at Saint Therese was a wonderful
opportunity for me to not only help out in the
community, but to also get to know and learn things
that I probably wouldn’t have learned,” said Blessing.
“I started thinking of what I want to do when I grow up
and where I want to have gone and the places I want
to have visited and the people whose lives I want to
have helped and impacted.”
In 2012 the Youth Volunteer Scholarship was expanded
and separated from the Associate Dinner into its
own event. Participants were invited to submit an essay
or illustration—many inspiring entries were received.
In April 2013 approximately 50 friends, families,
volunteers and staff gathered to recognize youth
volunteers who made a difference in the lives of older
adults. Four youth were each awarded a $1,000
educational scholarship.
And just like that, a new tradition has begun.
To learn more about the program or to apply, visit

New traditions
begin when an
individual or a
group proposes an

Gift Activity Highlights
Saint Therese relies on the generosity of our
families, friends and the community to help us
continue to provide the highest quality care and
housing to seniors.
The Saint Therese Foundation supports
the mission of Saint Therese by raising funds to
enhance services, programs and communities.
Financial gifts help provide pastoral care, nursing
scholarships and many capital improvements.
Each year, the Foundation organizes three
major fundraising events: Associate Dinner, Golf
Classic and Tree of Lights. These events are a
great way to introduce individuals to the work
of Saint Therese and raise much-needed funds.

Heritage Society
The Heritage Society recognizes those who have taken
the important step of supporting the Saint Therese mission
through their wills, estate plans, life income arrangements,
or through an outright contribution of $10,000 or more to
a Saint Therese Endowment Fund.
The Heritage Society also honors the leadership,
dedication and vision of the founders of Saint Therese.
Not only does this support guarantee continued excellence
in Catholic care for our communities’ seniors, it also
provides critical funds that help Saint Therese provide
outstanding services, programs and communities. Heritage
Society members are critical to the future financial
strength of the organization.

Pillar Society
We welcome and deeply appreciate gifts to the
endowment funds in any amount. For those whose
goals include something more personal, we offer
the opportunity to establish a named endowment
fund. For a minimum gift of $25,000 in either
a current, pledged or deferred gift, a donor may
establish a permanently endowed, named fund.
The fund is maintained in perpetuity, and can be
named to reflect the wishes of the donor. Those
who wish can restrict the earnings of this fund to
support a specific program or purpose.
Donors who establish a named endowment become members of
our Pillar Society at one of these levels:

The Saint Therese Pastoral Care Endowment Fund
Since Saint Therese’s inception, pastoral care has been
a core value shared with the individuals and families we
serve. The Saint Therese Pastoral Care Endowment
Fund was established by the board of directors in 2008 to
support the unique programming offered by on-campus
clergy, religious leaders and lay ministers.
Gifts to this fund will allow Saint Therese to provide
quality spiritual support to individuals at each Saint
Therese campus for years to come.
The Monsignor J. Jerome Boxleitner Endowment Fund
A founding Saint Therese board member, Monsignor J.
Jerome Boxleitner was a passionate advocate for the
poor and underserved for over 50 years. The Monsignor J.
Jerome Boxleitner Endowment Fund was created in
the fall of 2012 to support older adults who have limited
resources.
Gifts to this fund will enable Saint Therese to serve
individuals who have outlived their resources, allowing
them to continue to live with dignity at any stage in the
aging process.
The Board Quasi Endowment Fund
At Saint Therese we rely on the generosity of our donors to
support our mission to serve older adults as they journey
through the aging process. Often times donors give to a
specific project or event close to their hearts. In the event
a donor has not restricted their estate or tribute gift for a
specific purpose, those gifts are added to the Board Quasi
Endowment Fund.
The fund was created by the Saint Therese board of
directors in 2008 to ensure special initiatives can be
enacted through full financial support now and into
the future.
Saint Therese
Named Endowment Funds
The Mathilda Newinski Family Fund
A long-time resident of the Saint Therese of New Hope
care center, Mathilda Newinski was a beloved mother
of seven children who adored her. Since her passing in
1993 the Newinski family has remained involved through
a variety of activities and events. In 2010, in honor of
Mathilda, the family established the Mathilda Newinski
Family Fund.
The Mathilda Newinski Family Fund supports a variety of
care and services offered by Saint Therese.
The Jerome and Ursula Choromanski
Pastoral Care Fund
The Frances and Munn Scherer Family
Pastoral Care Fund
Guided by his Catholic faith and devotion to St. Therese
of Lisieux, Saint Therese Founder Jerry Choromanski
was looking for a way to support older adults as they
journeyed through the aging process when he founded
Saint Therese Home, Inc. in 1964. Over 45 years later,
Jerry, along with his wife Ursula, continue to provide
leadership and guidance to Saint Therese.
Guided by their faith and a calling to serve others, the
Scherer family has supported the mission of Saint Therese
through their time, talents and financial contributions
for over 40 years. In 2009, the Frances and Munn Scherer
Family Pastoral Care Fund was created to ensure financial
stability for pastoral care at Saint Therese.
Established in 2009, the Jerome and Ursula Choromanski
Pastoral Care Fund provides Catholic spiritual care
to the individuals served by Saint Therese now and for
generations to come.
The Edward and Julie Hudoba Family Fund
A seasoned Saint Therese family, the Hudobas have seen
the Saint Therese organization grow from a single
campus to four campuses and multiple support services.
In 2008 Edward created the Edward and Julie Hudoba
Family Fund in gratitude for the care and support offered
by Saint Therese.
The Frances and Munn Scherer Family Pastoral Care Fund
benefits the individuals and staff who provide an array of
spiritual care support services at Saint Therese.
The Vandergon Family Fund for Oxbow Lake
Touched by the sense of community on the Saint Therese
at Oxbow Lake campus, Donald Vandergon created the
Vandergon Family Fund for Oxbow Lake in 2012.
The Vandergon Family Fund supports the Oxbow Lake
community to further programming and to ensure the
long-term financial strength of the campus.
The Edward and Julie Hudoba Family Fund’s earnings are
designated to support the buildings and grounds for Saint
Therese campuses.

Community Benefit Statement
From the very beginning, Saint Therese has taken pride in the fact
that it has always been a good member of the community. As a
non-profit organization, Saint Therese strives to help others within
our neighborhoods and beyond. We believe it is also important to
communicate our outreach and support of the greater community as
part of our mission.
Documenting this work is an essential element for earning
public trust and validating our status as a non-profit organization.
Activities for the 2012-13 fiscal year are listed below:
• To foster education and help train future leaders in our industry,
we contribute $22,500 a year to the University of Wisconsin—
Eau Claire to sponsor a student administrator.
• Saint Therese is a host for social worker students from the
University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus.
• Spiritual care is at the center of our mission. Our extensive pastoral
care services include staff, liturgical costs, music and much more.
This vital program is paid for by donations to Saint Therese.
• Saint Therese employees were awarded over $11,780 in scholarships
through the Saint Therese Foundation’s White Rose Scholarship.
The scholarship provides the opportunity for staff to continue
their education and improve their knowledge on caring for
older adults.
• Our staff recruited blood donors for the Red Cross. Staff members
volunteered their time and donated blood for this worthy cause.
• Our staff participated in trade and professional associations to
expand their skills and to advocate for social fairness. This is also a
way we can share our experiences and knowledge to benefit others.
• Saint Therese hosts a variety of educational opportunities for local
administrators, social workers and other staff to earn continuing
education units.
• Tenants and staff members in our communities hold a food drive
at various times throughout the year to help families in need in
our surrounding communities.
Saint Therese donated to various community partners to
strengthen their work. This year’s partners included: North Memorial
Medical Center, North Memorial Community Foundation, Catholic
Community Foundation, Catholic Eldercare, The Power of Possible
UW-Eau Claire, Our Lady of Peace, Church of St. Vincent, St. Gerard,
St. Raphael’s, North Memorial Hospice Golf Tournament, St. Joseph’s
Parish of New Hope, St. Paul’s Monastery, Aging Services of
Minnesota, Empty Bowl Fundraiser for the PRISM and NEAR
Food Shelves, Alzheimer’s Association and Twin West Chamber
of Commerce.
Closing the Gap
Saint Therese provided over $2.5 million of free care as a result
of Medicaid reimbursement and State allowed rates not covering the
entire cost of care. Approximately 44% of our residents participate
in the Medicaid program. In addition, another 35% of our residents
pay for their care on their own. For both of these groups, the amount
we are reimbursed or are allowed to charge is $32 a day less than the
actual cost of providing the care. If we were to make cuts to recover
these expenses, we would compromise care of our residents.
Caring Fund Supports Tenants
Saint Therese serves a variety of individuals from an array of financial
backgrounds. Due to changes in the economy, early retirement or
simply living longer than expected, many seniors have run out of their
resources and are in need of financial assistance. The Caring Fund
supports tenants with additional services.
