2015 ~ 2016 Annual Report 2015-2016 st ignatius annual report web_18-press.indd 1 12/2/16 1:39 PM 2015 — 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 2015 — 2016 ANNUAL REPORT Letter from Fr. Michael P. Caruso, S.J., President Dear Friends, One of the beautiful prayers that we have in our Church is the Litany of Saints. There is a shortened version used at Baptisms [so as not to test the patience of the baby]; we use the full version at the Easter Vigil and at Ordinations. I think we all have enjoyed hearing our patron saint’s name invoked when this prayer has been prayed. The saints are our friends, companions, and intercessors in heaven. Thanks be to God, we have several saints in the making, here on earth, who partner with us at Saint Ignatius College Prep. Our Annual Report is a time to reflect upon the names of those who invest in this great educational project of Catholic education in the Jesuit tradition. If you are ever tempted to think “what good is my contribution doing?” I hope that the evidence provided in this report will show you that your generosity is making a difference in the lives of the young men and women that we are privileged to educate and form in the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church. At our Mass of the Holy Spirit this year, I reminded the student body that every student at this school is privileged and blessed to be at this extraordinary school [made possible through your assistance]. I also told the faculty and staff that we too are privileged to work with such dynamic and talented students. Any time you attend an event at the school, you will see gifted and happy students working to be their best with their God-given talents. While we are not a perfect community, Jesus gave us the tools to change hearts and minds, and that is a distinct advantage we enjoy as a faith-based school. We are here to change hearts and minds with a moral compass. I thank you for believing in our mission with your prayers and financial assistance. I invite you to join me in a prayerful exercise with this Annual Report. Read the names of each person, family, foundation, and company in a spirit of gratitude. Commend them and their hopes and dreams to our God. May All the Saints intercede for and bless all you, for extending the love of Christ through Saint Ignatius College Prep. Fr. Michael P. Caruso, SJ 2 2015-2016 st ignatius annual report web_18-press.indd 2 12/2/16 1:39 PM 2015 — 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 2015 — 2016 ANNUAL REPORT Letter from Patrick C. Lynch, 2015-16 Board of Trustees Chairman Dear Saint Ignatius College Prep Community, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the passion and commitment that you and your fellow donors have shown to our school during the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2016. Each year we look forward to sharing our school’s successes and accomplishments with you. The achievements highlighted within this Annual Report are a confirmation of the support you bring to our school community. Without each of you, none of this would have been possible. There is truly no way to fully express what your support and investment mean to Saint Ignatius. As you look through the pages of our annual report, please know that the success of Saint Ignatius is ultimately a testament to you, our donors. We thank you for your continued generosity, and for choosing our school to help facilitate your philanthropy. You and your fellow donors make a real, and growing, difference in the lives of our students, faculty, and staff. I share with you the importance of supporting our students. I have four sons who are graduates of Saint Ignatius and another son who is a current student. Because of your generosity our students continue to benefit from abundant opportunities to learn, grow, and excel with the foundation of a Catholic Jesuit education. It is obvious that each of you understands the importance of supporting our students and sees the incredible value in developing students that are men and women for others. Thank you! Very truly yours, Patrick C. Lynch Chairman of the Board of Trustees 3 2015-2016 st ignatius annual report web_18-press.indd 3 12/2/16 1:39 PM 2015 — 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 2015 — 2016 ANNUAL REPORT Letter from John J. Chandler, Vice President of Development and Operations Pope Francis declared in 2016 the “Year of Mercy.” It brings to mind the corporal works of mercy that so many of us learned in our Catholic formation through the years. You, our benefactors, are partnering with us to ensure that the students of Saint Ignatius College Prep have the resources, the education and the faith formation to carry out this important work. We have never truly tallied the countless hours that our students donate assisting the marginalized, with their service outreach. Whether the need is as close as Pilsen, our adjoining neighborhood, or as far away as Guatemala, each student at Saint Ignatius undertakes joyful acts of compassionate outreach throughout the year. While some might think this is the result of a “service requirement,” we find that our students are genuinely committed to be guardians of the important role of a Jesuit student to be persons for others. They perform their work of mercy as individuals and frequently work with their teammates or clubs to create a greater impact. You would be proud to learn of their usually quiet and selfless outreach. Thank you for supporting this good work. The past year has seen a number of significant enhancements to the Saint Ignatius experience. Students have a new information technology center to work from and seek support. The Foglia Library has been air conditioned. An additional year of science has been added to the curriculum in order to give students better options for college. We have welcomed Fr. Lukas Laniauskas, SJ as the new Vice President for Mission Integration and Implementation ensuring that our Catholic and Jesuit charism remains strong, integrated and permeates all areas of the school. The Trustees have completed a new strategic planning process which will guide the direction of the school for the next five years. As I have expressed in the past, please stop in when you are in the neighborhood to see firsthand how your support is so critical to the many successes of our students. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family for all that you do for our students. A.M.D.G John J.
