TO THE STEWARDS OF Saint Peter of The Papal Foundation

Thirty years ago, The Papal Foundation presented its first contribution in support of the work of the Church throughout the world. Since then, your dedication to the Foundation has helped countless people whose lives have been changed for the better by your generosity. It is an honor for me to serve with you and to witness your faith in action.

In this report, we focus on the Papal Foundation’s support of education, which in all its forms has the power to transform lives and spirits. Far too many people around the world lack access to even basic education. As the report presents, the Foundation is working with the Holy See to address this critical need and lift individuals and families to better lives and futures.

Your care and concern for the people we serve, particularly during this time of great challenges is inspiring. Together, let us follow the Lord’s call to serve our brothers and sisters with grace and love for all humanity.

With the assurance of my prayers for you and all your loved ones, I remain,

Devotedly yours in Christ,

Cardinal Seán O’Malley, OFM, Cap. Archbishop of Boston
