Partners in Hope 2008 ANNUAL REPORT our mission To strengthen the lives of those in need our work by giving help that empowers and hope that lasts Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington assists individuals and families in need, especially those who are most vulnerable. We believe in helping people develop the skills and strength to move from crisis or isolation to stability and growth. We focus on prevention when possible, intervention when needed, and advocacy when resources or opportunities are either inadequate or unfair. We are guided in this work by the richness of Catholic social teaching. Cover photos Second from left by Laura Sikes. All others by Nick Crettier. Pope Benedict XVI’s historic visit to the United States in April 2008 renewed and affirmed the mission of Catholic Charities—to strengthen the lives of those in need by giving help that empowers and hope that lasts. In a private audience with Ed Orzechowski, president and CEO of Catholic Charities, and his wife, Terry, moments prior to mass with 45,000 at Nationals Park, the Holy Father praised the important work of Catholic Charities here, in the Archdiocese of Washington, and around the world. In his homily, Pope Benedict urged “that those who have hope must live different lives!” Americans must remain close to their faith, he said, which has forged the United States thus far and must guide its principles as a global leader. Earlier in the visit, on the south lawn of the White House, Pope Benedict expressed respect for our “vast pluralistic society,” specifically telling the nation’s Catholics he hoped his presence would strengthen their resolve “to contribute ever more responsibly to the life of this nation, of which they are proud to be citizens.” He also reminded all Americans that freedom entails personal responsibility. Remarks on this point had profound resonance for Catholic Charities supporters and staff: “The preservation of freedom calls for the cultivation of virtue, self-discipline, sacrifice for the common good, and a sense of responsibility towards the less fortunate.” Pope Benedict XVI came to the United States this spring, as he stated midway through his homily at Nationals Park, “to be a witness to ‘Christ Our Hope’. ” Indeed, his presence among us and his words at various public events left Americans, Catholic and other, inspired, hopeful and refreshed. Throughout this exciting visit, he surely reminded us of how important it is to serve the poor, the hungry, the homeless—and all of our neighbors who suffer. a message In a historic homily delivered before tens of thousands during the Papal Mass at Nationals Stadium, his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI declared, “Those who have hope must live different lives!” It is a compelling command, one rooted in the services and mission of Catholic Charities. This year witnessed many incredible moments for our agency, punctuated by the visit of his Holiness. Inspired, Catholic Charities organized the “Hunger to Hope” food drive. With more than 240 parishes and Catholic schools as our partners, the drive gathered more than 228,000 lbs. of food for the Capitol Area Food Bank and local pantries. Pope Benedict’s message of hope resounded deeply, as our economy continued its decline. By June, it was evident our economy’s woes were neither temporary nor contained to any sector. Families once safely in the middle class found themselves behind on mortgage or rent. Rising gas and food prices compounded their problems. With this backdrop, there was great opportunity to rise to a formidable challenge. On the following pages, 12 stories portray the healing power of partnership, as community and business members lent their talents and passion to meet the needs of neighbors. The Parish Partners Program (April), launched in January 2008, connected the grassroots work of parishes with Catholic Charities’ resources and expertise. Our new fundraising initiative, the Building Partnership Program (October), matched the skills of local businesses with individual programs. Many of our partners have stood by our side for decades. The Knights of Columbus, for example, have been stalwart defenders of the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Institute (September) since 1959. We are also very pleased to report that Catholic Charities received accreditation from The Council on Accreditation this past year. Meeting the high standards of COA, an international and independent organization, ensures Catholic Charities employs best practices in offering services. This honor ratifies our commitment to provide help that empowers and hope that lasts to every man, woman and child entering our doors. Knowing the challenges our nation faces, we are certain Catholic Charities—with partners like you— is well positioned to meet rising demand, as more of our neighbors face desperate situations. Indeed, the upcoming year is one of opportunity for each of us to demonstrate the compassion, humility and quiet, reassuring love of Christ in each bed we offer, meal we serve and class we teach. Thank you for joining us in this partnership of Help and Hope. Ed Orzechowski President and CEO, Catholic Charities Mary D. Yerrick Chair of the Board of Directors, Catholic Charities a message This Annual Report is a celebration of the many Michael F. Curtin Chair of the Board of Directors, Catholic Charities Foundation partnerships Catholic Charities Foundation has with tremendously dedicated individuals, organizations and businesses throughout the Archdiocese of Washington. We are acutely aware that our partners are key to the success of Catholic Charities serving over 100,000 men, women and children each year. Our partners recognize that together we are stronger and better equipped to share the burdens and ease the sorrow of our less fortunate brothers and sisters. In our formative education we came to know of the Corporal Works of Mercy. In working as partners, we in fact feed, clothe, shelter, educate and empower those around us. When we give of ourselves we are blessed with a better understanding of what it is to walk with Christ in the shoes of another. This has been an unprecedented year in funding the good works of Catholic Charities. Led by the Catholic Charities Foundation Gala in February and the Spanish Catholic Center Gala in March, nearly $2 million was raised to support the programs of Catholic Charities. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Catholic Charities Foundation Gala Chairs, Jim and Joan Sullivan, and the Spanish Catholic Center Gala Chairs, Irma and Richard Frank, for their leadership and support. The Building Partnership Program continued to sign on new partners. This program gives businesses and their employees the opportunity to connect on a personal level with those Catholic Charities serves by volunteering as a group and sponsoring renovations to several programs. The work of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, Southern Management and First Potomac Realty Trust has resulted in wonderful improvements to numerous programs. We are seeing how the improved physical environment can have a positive impact on the delivery of services. Of course, our partnering with each and every one of you is our most meaningful partnership. Your time, talent and resources continue to ensure that we can help so many with such complicated needs. As Chair of the Catholic Charities Foundation Board of Directors, and on behalf of the entire board, I offer my deep gratitude for all that you do and pray that you continue to keep Catholic Charities and its work on your mind as well as in your heart.

Lucky to have a strong and loving community to comfort her during her fight, Megan wanted to reach out to mothers who did not have the support they needed. In her memory, Kevin began the In the Name of the Mother Fund. The fund helps women with cancer who don’t have the finances or family to uplift them. For Diana (right), the fund relieved financial worries while she endured treatment. Whether helping with groceries, utilities, a mortgage payment or even a new wig, the fund is a guardian angel to women facing a desperate situation.

He was directed to the Adult Education’s GED program as a math tutor. For four years he has assisted adults eager to learn, pass the GED and better their lives. It is a partnership that works well.

The drive collected more than 228,000 lbs. of food for the Capital Area Food Bank and local pantries. This grand total—enough food to feed 350 families three meals a day for the 50 days of the Easter Season—was presented to his Holiness as a birthday gift. The newly launched Parish Partners Program collaborated with the 140 parishes in the Archdiocese to bring the drive to fruition. Parish Partners unites the grassroots services of parishes with the programs and resources of Catholic Charities to serve parishioners and community neighbors in need.

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary september 2009 Partner: The Knights of Columbus Program: Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Institute The Knights of Columbus have partnered with the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Institute (JPKI) since 1961, when the first annual Archbishop’s Charity Ball was established. The event is a fundraiser for JPKI and also celebrates the fundraising done by individual Knights of Columbus councils. Peter Gervais, immediate past state deputy of the Cardinal O’Boyle Council and member of the JPKI Advisory Council, is chair of the 2009 Ball. Mr. Gervais appreciates the opportunity the Knights provide to live out his faith and serve people with developmental disabilities. “It’s very gratifying to work with Kennedy because they need much help and their clients are so deserving.” Photo by Nick Crettier SUNDAY MONDAY 6 7 Labor Day 13 14 20 21 Catholic Charities Foundation Golf Classic TUESDAY Wednesday Thursday Friday 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 10 11 12 15 16 17 18 19 22 23 24 25 26 AUGUST OCTOBER SM T W T F S SM T W T F S 1 1 2 3 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 27 Andrew Greene, Lt.

I remain committed because Catholic Charities helps people with nowhere else to go. october 2009 Partner: First Potomac Realty Trust Program: Building Partnership Program First Potomac Realty Trust executives (l to r) John Sadlik, vice president, construction; Douglas Donatelli, chairman and CEO; and Gabe Katz, assistant construction manager, Maryland stand in front of SHARE’s new HVAC system, kitchen and conference room.

No one takes the needs of the Food Bank more competitively than Leonardtown High School. In 2007, the school won first place statewide after raising $52,809.72 and second place for the amount of food raised in the Kids Helping Kids campaign, with all donations going to the Food Bank. Championed by the student council for the last eight years, the school’s drive gives the Southern Maryland Food Bank a great boost to meet increased demand during the winter.

Christmas 26 Good Samaritan Society Your Future Legacy For many of us, the greatest satisfaction in life is in helping people—making everything and everyone we touch a little bit better. The Good Samaritan Society provides a significant opportunity to do just that with a charitable gift to Catholic Charities Foundation. The Society recognizes friends who have provided for the future of Catholic Charities through bequests or other estate and planned gifts. Making a legacy gift has given many friends of Catholic Charities the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping ensure the future of Catholic Charities and our ability to open doors to help and hope in our community. Circle of Hope The Power of Philanthropy The Circle of Hope is a leadership program for people who share the social service mission of Catholic Charities— to strengthen the lives of those in need by giving help that empowers and hope that lasts. An annual giving program and major gifts club, the Circle of Hope is open to individuals, couples or family foundations who contribute $5,000 or more in a calendar year. Those who join the Circle of Hope become members of an exclusive and growing network of benefactors who, through their generous support and leadership, are helping individuals in need to achieve new levels of self-sufficiency and an improved quality of life. For more information on any of these programs, please contact Alicia Figueiredo, Directorof Development, at (202) 772-4397 or [email protected]. Building Partnership Program Vision Partners Catholic Charities recognizes the value added to social service delivery with the involvement of volunteers from our community. The Building Partnership Program connects organizations and individuals willing to lend a hand with Catholic Charities’ buildings in need of maintenance or repair. A Program Partner “adopts” a building and assumes responsibility for certain projects. Participation in the program is available to any organization or individual willing to provide the philanthropic support and/or volunteer services required to help maintain a Catholic Charities’ building and enhance the services housed there. Partnerships are specially tailored to pair the community outreach mission of the sponsor with the maintenance and volunteer needs of the facility.
