Dear Friends of SPO, I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the “ Lord Jesus. I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.” — Philemon 1:4-7

Saint Paul’s Outreach New Jersey has much to be thankful for these days; God has indeed given the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6)! In particular, we are deeply grateful for your partnership with us. Whether you are a long time supporter of SPO or are just getting to know us, we deeply appreciate your presence here with us tonight. As you may know, SPO New Jersey is commemorating our fifth anniversary of ministry and outreach to college students in New Jersey. In 2014, with your help, we were able to: • Reach more than 1700 students with a first experience of faith through friendships, social events, and meaningful on-campus conversations • Call more than 150 students with a regular experience of faith connected to our Households, on-campus small groups, and retreats • Form 50 students with a year-long experience of faith through SPO’s Formation Program • Send those 50 students out as to their peers, along with other volunteers and staff, into the mission field of college campuses, impacting the university culture for Christ and His Church Your investment in SPO, combined with the missionary efforts of our dedicated young people, has helped impact nearly 2000 young people in just one year of mission work. We invite you to continue to grow with us. This important work would not be possible without your generous support. We look forward to a continued partnership with you as we strive to make Faith Alive on Campus through the grace of God, who is “able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine by the power at work within us” (Ephesians 3:19).

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Edward Moccia New Jersey Mission Center Director

The Most Reverend Peter Baldacchino Bishop Peter Baldacchino was born in Sliema, Malta, on Dec. 5, 1960. As a young teenager his faith came alive through his participation in the Neocatechumenate, a post-baptismal itinerary of Catholic formation. He studied Chemistry and Science at the University of Malta, eventually becoming a technical manager for a Canada Dry bottling plant. Bishop Peter credits his participation at World Youth Day in Santiago de Compostela, led by St. John Paul II, as a pivotal moment in his vocational journey. Not only did he feel a calling to priesthood, he felt a call to mission. “I [was willing] to serve the Church anywhere,” he says. “I fell in love with the missionary aspect of the Church. It was like falling in love. And the Lord took it from there. Everything else was easy.” After careful discernment, he offered himself as a missionary seminarian at the service of the Archdiocese of Newark. He studied at Seton Hall University’s Immaculate Conception School of Theology while residing at Redemptoris Mater Seminary, a missionary house of formation located in Kearny, New Jersey. He obtained a Master of Divinity degree and was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark in 1996. Upon ordination, he was assigned as parochial vicar at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Ridgewood, NJ, where he served for three years. In 1999, he was made Pastor of Our Lady of Divine Providence and Chancellor of Newark’s mission to the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean. It was there that he learned Creole and served the community of Haitians, native islanders, ex-patriots and tourists. Under his pastorship the mission on the islands flourished, new houses of worship were built, and a thriving school was established for the children of the islands. In 2009, Benedict XVI named him a Chaplain to His Holiness, with the honorary title of Reverend . He was named Auxiliary Bishop for the Archdiocese of Miami and of Vatarba by on February 20, 2014. He chose as his episcopal motto “Ubi Dominus, ibidem laetitia” (Where God is, there is joy). Bishop Peter speaks five languages: English, Maltese, Italian, Spanish and Creole. Servant Leader Award Honoree

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Ridgewood, NJ Established in 1889, the community of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a vibrant parish living its baptismal call to holiness in stewardship and service within the Archdiocese of Newark and abroad. Our Lady of Mount Carmel is filled with diverse and varied expressions of faith and ministry. With over fifty ministries and groups, the parish seeks to engage not only its own parishioners in their personal faith journeys, but those who have left the Church or do not have anyone to minister to them. Since 1998, Our Lady of Mount Carmel has played a pivotal role in the Archdiocese of Newark’s Missio in the Turks and Caicos Islands through personnel, support, and service. Thanks to their “yes” to God’s call, the parish community continues to assist the Archdiocese of Newark to be authentically missionary in its outreach, bringing the Good News to distant lands. Through their contribution of time, talent, and treasure, the parish has contributed to the flourishing of the Church in New Jersey and beyond. As a parish, Our Lady of Mount Carmel is not only the supporter of the missions, but a community which has also sent missionaries from its own ranks, both lay and religious, to around the country and the world. We honor the parish of Our Lady of Mount Carmel for its lasting commitment to the New Evangelization in the Archdiocese of Newark, the United States and the Universal Church. Emcees

Joe Buganski Joe hails from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, where he is the middle child in a family of seven children. A recent graduate of the New Jersey Institute of Technology with a degree in civil engineering, Joe was blessed to become involved with Saint Paul’s Outreach New Jersey his freshman year, and promptly moved into Household his sophomore year. A huge Philadelphia Eagles fan, Joe loves playing sports - especially basketball - and can also be found playing guitar, hiking, camping, working with his hands, and talking to anyone and everyone about anything and everything. He is excited to be on campus and spreading the Gospel, and feels specifically charged with raising up young men to be leaders and live passionately.

Becca Shrake You could say missionary work runs in Becca’s blood. When she was 7 years old, she moved to Panama with her family for two years while her parents were in the missions. However, it wasn’t until Becca’s senior year of college that she felt the Lord calling her to become a missionary herself and serve the spiritually poor students on college campuses. Becca hails from St. Paul, Minnesota, and graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in journalism and a minor in Spanish. It was during college that she found the life-giving community of Saint Paul’s Outreach. Now, she is thrilled to be a part of SPO and feels blessed to have been called to the important work of bringing college students to God. About Saint Paul’s Outreach

Saint Paul’s Outreach actively invites college students to a life of Christian discipleship. With Saint Paul as our example, we create vibrant, faith-filled environments that challenge students to deepen their relationships with Christ in the fullness of the .

We cannot keep ourselves shut up in parishes, in our communities, in our parish or diocesan institutions, when so many people are “ waiting for the Gospel! It is not enough simply to open the door in welcome because they come, but we must go out through that door to seek and meet the people! Let us urge our young people to go forth. Of course they will make mistakes, but let us not be afraid! The Apostles made mistakes before us. Let us urge them to go forth.” — Pope Francis

The Need College campuses are battlegrounds for the minds and souls of our young people, and many are leaving the Church. Only 14% of Catholics in college attend weekly Mass. Students are hungry for truth and meaning, but most are not being reached effectively.

The Response Saint Paul’s Outreach reaches these students around the country, bringing them back to Christ and the fullness of the Catholic faith. We build evangelistic communities that provide a unique quality and depth of formation in the Catholic faith and life.

The Result Our ministry has produced thousands of alumni who are passionate followers of Christ and who continue to shine His light in the world long after they have graduated. They are renewing the Church and evangelizing the culture. Our Core Values

Renewed Catholicism We advance the renewal of authentic Catholic life on college campuses, rooted in Sacred Scripture, faithful to the of the Catholic Church, and confident in the help of the Holy Spirit.

Dedication to the New Evangelization We follow the example of Saint by proclaiming the Gospel so that all might come to faith and maturity in Christ.

Life-Changing Communities We create transformative environments to challenge and equip college students to live out the call to holiness in their daily lives.

Servant Leadership We identify and form the next generation of lay and religious leaders for our Church, our communities, and our world.

Christian Unity We are committed to the unity of the Church, and collaborate with other Catholic and Christian organizations. How You Can Help

Pray SPO Missionaries labor tirelessly to provide the environment and opportunity for an encounter with Christ. Yet, success is still dependent on the student’s openness to God’s work in the soul. Your prayers for the success of our outreach efforts are invaluable. Please pray and even fast for SPO Missionaries and the students who are in such desperate need of the Gospel. Apart from the grace of God, we can do nothing: “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain” (Psalm 127:1).

Promote Tell your friends, your children, and your grandchildren about SPO. Encourage your , friends, family, and fellow parishioners to pray for and partner with SPO. Together we can mobilize the Catholic community in the New Evangelization of our young people.

Partner SPO has an effective and time-tested model of inviting young people to a relationship with Christ in His Church. Our existence is dependent on those people who partner with us financially in this work. We frequently receive invitations to start SPO Chapters on campuses all over the country. But we cannot continue our growth without the necessary resources. • $5,000 provides funding to subsidize one of our 4 retreats held throughout the year • $2,500 covers annual costs to train one of our 10 full-time Missionaries • $1,000 pays for the outreach training and formation of one of our 15 SPO Student Missionaries • $500 covers the monthly cost of SPO’s outreach programs • $100 provides one scholarship for a student to attend our faith- awakening Fan into Flame retreat Saint Paul’s Outreach New Jersey Mission Staff

Dear Friends in the Lord, For the past five years, Saint Paul’s Outreach has collaborated with Seton Hall University’s Office of Mission and Ministry, Campus Ministry, and most recently the Department of Housing and Residence Life. During this time, I have personally witnessed the joy of SPO’s Missionaries, as well as their eagerness to give bold witness of their faith to all those they encounter. Their faith-filled and collaborative spirit strengthens Seton Hall’s Catholic mission and identity. As we work together, we endeavor to be a sign of Christ’s merciful and inviting presence to all our students. The unique combination of Seton Hall’s ministries and initiatives engages students who need to deepen or even reacquaint themselves with their faith. An exciting development this year has been SPO’s expanded partnership with our Department of Housing and Residence Life. Our Missionary-in-Residence program provides for the consistent presence of missionaries in our freshman residence hall. Readily accessible to students, these in-residence missionaries are the light of Christ to those who have just begun their college journey with us. I am grateful for the presence and collaboration of Saint Paul’s Outreach at Seton Hall as we strive to form students spiritually, intellectually, and morally. Together we are bringing the joy of the Gospel to the next generation of servant leaders. I thank you for your sustaining presence and continued support of SPO’s efforts. As we celebrate SPO’s first five years in New Jersey, I thank the Lord for their charism and their assistance in keeping Catholic Faith Alive on Campus. Hazard zet Forward.

Rev. Msgr. Anthony C. Ziccardi Vice President of Mission and Ministry Secretary Designee, Board of Regents Honored to Serve

My name is Kimi Butler and I have been serving with Saint Paul’s Outreach in New Jersey at Seton Hall University since 2012. I am Texan, born and raised in Houston, and an alumna of Texas State University where I majored in Music Education and Voice. I grew up Catholic, but encountered the Lord in a tangible way that changed my life in college. At the end of my freshman year, a friend invited me to the School of the New Evangelization (SNE) hosted by SPO. She had attended the summer and it made a profound impact on her life. She described how beneficial it would be to bring back what we learned at SNE to Texas State. The first night of SNE I felt like I had stepped into a new world. The students worshipped God in a way I had never seen. I could see that they knew God in a way I didn’t. They had a beautiful joy about them, but the most moving detail was that they really cared about me and wanted to know me from the moment we met. I had never experienced a community and students who were so genuine. I made lasting friendships and encountered the Lord more profoundly in those ten days than I ever had before. The life SPO invited me to was something that I wanted to last beyond those ten days. I had found something special and realized that God was calling me to proclaim the Good News to others. Leaving SNE, I decided to live out this call upon my return to campus. In the fall my friends and I started doing Morning Prayer together at 7:00am in the Student Center chapel, even though others thought we were insane for wanting to pray that early. We began to eat meals together, share our lives with one another, and teach one another about the Faith. The following year we formed our own “household” programs for men and women. My senior year, SPO sent three Mission Leaders to our campus and we established the Texas State Chapter of Saint Paul’s Outreach. SPO radically changed the way I know and live my faith, and I am a better person for it. I surrendered to the Lord and He called me to move to New Jersey to serve at Seton Hall University as a Missionary. It is here that my life has not only become richer, but I continue to encounter the Lord time and time again. Each day I get to pray and proclaim, Jesus is Lord! I am honored and humbled to be able to journey with students as they meet the Lord and discover the richness of their faith. Kimi Butler New Jersey Mission Director The SPO Impact

After a difficult first semester of college, I came across SPO and it changed my whole experience. Being part of a strong faith community gave me the “ support I needed to grow in my faith and become the woman I am today.” — Elizabeth

I was given so many gifts at the [SPO] Fan into Flame retreat that have shaped my faith ever since. Most “ importantly, I was initiated into a new way to pray that I desperately needed in order to deepen my faith.” — Dennis

Saint Paul’s Outreach came into my life at a time when I was really searching for something. They provided me with a space to strengthen my “ faith and realize the presence Christ in my life for the first time.” — Mike

Not being baptized and not coming from a religious home life, I thought that I would be rejected and treated “ differently; I soon came to learn that that was very wrong. Becoming involved with SPO has been eye-opening and I keep learning and growing.” — Holli SPO New Jersey Advisory Board
