When we imagine Mr. Frank Fehlner Ms. Katherine Griffis Ms. Monica Kirsch Ms. Mary Lou Markham something, we create a picture or idea in our mind. When this picture or idea begins to take form, we express it in words Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Mrs. Angelina Grinnell Mrs. Doris and Mr. Harold Mr. Ted Marks and ultimately our words become actions, which lead to the creation of what we had envisioned. Ferratella Mr. Donald Grodis Knowles Mr. Elwin Marshall Catholic Charities imagines a community where people are not hungry, where health care is available to all, where families Mr. Joseph Ferratella Ms. Faye Guild-Nash Ms. Nancy Kobbe Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Martello thrive and children have an opportunity to grow-up supported and loved, and where people who suffer from addictions are Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Ferris Ms. Marcia Hall Ms. Teresa Koehler Mrs. and Mr. Louise Martin provided the “help that works and hope that lasts.” Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Finch Dr. John Halpenny Ms. Violet Koehler Mr. and Mrs. Jay Maslyn Ms. Freida Fiordo Mrs. Eileen Hamelin Ms. Julie Koehler-Vanfleet Mr. and Mrs. Allen Mason Unfortunately, for many of the individuals we serve, they can’t begin to imagine a better life. They can’t imagine how they Ms. Maureen Fisher Mr. and Mrs. Michael Hanna Mr. B Gene Kolczynski Ms. Lisa M. Matte are going to make ends meet, how they will pay rent and utilities, feed their children, afford a medical bill, or keep their Mr. and Mrs. Joel Fiske Ms. Donna Haraty Mr. Kevin Konopski Mr. Brian Mattoon car in running condition. They can’t imagine how they are going to beat their addiction, or how they are going to care for Ms. Robin Fitzmartin Mr. and Mrs. Norman Hart Mr. Mark Kotwick Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Mauro and support their children. Mr. Gerry Flaitz Mr. Ernie Hartman Mrs. Carol Krackov Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Fleming Catholic Charities creates opportunities for our families, daring them to dream.

Given our faith-based roots, our focus is on bounty and generosity – not scarcity. It is the positives Ms. Maureen Foster Mr. Darryl Heckle Mr. and Mrs. Greg Kulikowski Ms. Jean M. McCann that people can build upon and find the encouragement to grow.

We live in an area surrounded by natural beauty but Ms. Delores Gerhart Ms. Susan Jackson Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Liebner Mr. and Mrs. David Miller beneath the surface many of our fellow neighbors face hardships that most of us cannot begin to imagine or comprehend. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Gerth Ms. Judy Jaromin Ms. Helen Linsler Mrs. Esther Miller We are a very large geographic county, larger than the land mass of the state of Rhode Island with a relatively low Ms. Charlotte Gilio Ms. Dawn Jaros Mr. and Mrs. Edward Linsler Ms. Diane Miller population. So many of our poor are hidden from view in our daily lives. Mr. and Mrs. James Gleason Mr. and Mrs. James Jenkins Mr. Joseph Liptak Ms. Maryann Mineo The call of our faith is simple: Love our God and love our neighbor. The two work together. We all have the ability to come Mrs. Christine Gleason Ms. Charlene Jessup Mr. J. Lobdell Ms. Sabrina Mineo-O'Connell to grips with the reality of our less fortunate friends and neighbors by imagining a community that acknowledges the pain Mr. Kent Goben Ms. Sue Jimerson Mr. and Mrs. John Lockwood, Sr. Ms. Christine Minichello and suffering among us and does not blame people for their circumstances. Most people do not choose to be poor and Mr. and Mrs. John Goebel Mr. and Mrs. Allan Johnson Ms. Michelle M. Logan Mr. and Mrs. James Mitchell many times do not have the support systems in their lives to even know what to do. Government cannot begin to address all Ms. Nancy Goins Ms. Susan Joy Johnson Mr. and Mrs. Donald Lopata Ms. Betty Mitchell of these needs, and government funding continues to decline. Mr. Ted Goldwyn Mr. and Mrs. David Jones Mrs. and Mr. Emily Lowery Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Monahan This is where our faith, the wonderful, dedicated staff of Catholic Charities of Steuben, our Board of Directors, and you Ms. Alene Goodman Mr. Dick Jones Mr. William Ludden Ms. Helen Monroy come together to help people imagine a better life, and actually achieve a better life. On behalf of the staff and Board of Mr. Ernest Goodrich Mr. and Mrs. Michael Joseph Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Lukacko Mr. and Mrs. Michael Moretti Directors, I would like to thank you for your past generosity and appeal to you to continue to support Ms. Wendy Gould Ms. Kathleen Kane Ms. Kathleen Lyke Mrs. Eleanor Morey Catholic Charities of Steuben in the important work we do through our Turning Point, Kinship Family & Mr. John Gould Ms. Jane Kaszczynec Mr. Matthew Lyke Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Mormino Youth, and Substance Free Living programs.

CDK Global, LLC.

She had all but given up hope that the boys would be able to come to America, which caused both mental and Ms. Anne Bartz Ms. Cathy Case Ms. Jan Ebeling emotional challenges for both Rebeca and David. Rebeca states, “One of the many things that kept me strong and hopeful Mission Fund Mr. and Mrs. James Bassage Mr. and Mrs. Bill Case Ms. Marilynne Eckel was the birth of my daughter, Amada. God sent me an angel. She was a source of strength and courage that helped to Corning Area Retired Teachers Mr. and Ms. Rick Bates Ms. Amanda Chafee Mr. Andy Eklund Association surpass the sadness and pain of not seeing my boys for such a long time.” Mr. and Mrs. Terrence J. Baxter Mr. Elliott Chaffee Ms. Amaris Elliott-Engel Dagon Funeral Home Mr. and Mrs. David Beale Mr. Cragg Chaffee Ms. Lois Elsenheimer Rebeca and David worked tirelessly day-in and day-out to raise Amada and to acquire the financial resources to pay for Family Service Society Ms. Maryellen Becken Ms. Donna Chiaramonte Ms. Mary Emerson not only general living expenses but also all of the costs associated with bringing the boys home. These included First United Methodist Church - Ms. Jana Beiswenger Mr. Robert Childs and Mrs. Pauline S. Emery application fees, passports, necessary vaccinations and travel expenses.

This year’s award went to Reverend J. Brad Benson of St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church in Bath, NY. Rev. Benson is a key person in the convening of a monthly breakfast meeting of Bath-area clergy. From this group, along with other projects, an interfaith fund was created for those who wanted to engage in joint mission with CCS. This fund, championed by Rev. Benson and other clergy, allows CCS’ Turning Point (TP), programs to assist people with situations that would be outside the scope of other TP funds, helping with necessities such as emergency motel stays to avert homelessness, transportation to critical appointments, and more. Rev. Benson has also been instrumental in organizing many unifying events and groups including the Bath Community Outreach Forum, that is working to address housing issues and the need for a community center; the No Hate Rally, that brought together people from many faiths to show love for all walks of life; the Candlelight Vigil for Las Vegas to help people mourn and unite our community; and a Block Party that brought together the public, law-enforcement, first responders, and organizations. Rev. Benson has also been a member of the TP Advisory Council, a volunteer for the TP Bath food pantry, and on the Bath STEPS Walk fundraising committee. Assistant Director, Theresa McKinley presented the award stating, “TP is blessed to have such a champion for our program and for the local community.

We live in an area surrounded by natural beauty but Ms. Delores Gerhart Ms. Susan Jackson Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Liebner Mr. and Mrs. David Miller beneath the surface many of our fellow neighbors face hardships that most of us cannot begin to imagine or comprehend.

We all have the ability to come Mrs. Christine Gleason Ms. Charlene Jessup Mr. J.

Most people do not choose to be poor and Mr. and Mrs. John Goebel Mr. and Mrs. Allan Johnson Ms. Michelle M. Logan Mr. and Mrs. James Mitchell many times do not have the support systems in their lives to even know what to do. Government cannot begin to address all Ms. Nancy Goins Ms. Susan Joy Johnson Mr. and Mrs. Donald Lopata Ms. Betty Mitchell of these needs, and government funding continues to decline.
