2012 Annual Report Our Promise OUR PROMISE FOR THEIR FUTURE 2012 ANNUAL REPORT OUR PROMISE Dear Keepers of Our Promises, Keeping our promises. It’s one of the first things we learn. On the playgrounds these first weeks of school, thousands of elementary school children are reminding each other of this important concept with a simple phrase that crosses generations: “Do you promise?” Even the littlest among us knows that answering “yes” to that question means being accountable for our actions. So what do we promise to our children and their children’s children? Can we promise them a seat in our classrooms? Are we willing to make this commitment for today? For future generations? This annual report will show that you have allowed us not only to say ”we promise," but to fulfill that promise with power and action. Because of you, 1,400 students heard that prom- ise this year. And thanks to your gifts to our endowment programs — which continue to grow — we will be able to make the same commitment to even more of tomorrow’s children. Thank you allowing us to make, and keep, this promise. Now that we’ve promised seats in our classrooms, what else are we willing to commit to All photos ©2012 Stephen Brashear Photography unless otherwise noted. once children are in those seats? Safety? A chance to know and love their God? Character? College? Readiness for the world in which they will live? The answers are clear, and we are absolutely committed to making these promises and keeping them! Thanks to you, this CONTENTS: annual report describes how we have been able to assist our school leaders in making and keeping these promises at extraordinary levels.

  • USCCB Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations
    NRVC chose to take a closer look at our future, challenges, and hopes... Dear Friend of NRVC, In preparation for the 2008 presidential election, Americans around the country examined their values and priorities, and compared them with those of our two presidential candidates, so that they would be well-informed about the country’s present challenges and their own hopes for the country’s future. In a similar fashion, last year NRVC chose to take a closer look at our future, our challenges and our hopes so that we can be well- informed about what lies ahead. Our first priority was to launch a major study on vocations to religious life, in collaboration with the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA), which we did in the fall. When the results are finally released later this year, the “best practices” gleaned from this study will serve as a guide for religious insti- tutes to develop their future, vocation strategies. Complementing this project, the annual VISION survey from VocationMatch.com in- dicates a rise in the number of inquiries to religious life for the third year in a row—another hopeful sign for our future! Our Executive Board is also looking to secure the future of NRVC by identifying our major priorities for the coming three years as our previous strategic plan will be completed in 2010. The need, the energy, and the passion to promote new membership in religious life are there. I felt it in Louisville, KY, where approximately 450 vocation ministers processed through the downtown streets raising vocation awareness.
