    COMMUNITY REPORT 2019 Mission The Catholic Foundation of Michigan inspires charitable giving and assists generous donors providing for the long-term needs of Catholic parishes, schools, ministries and other organizations of southeast Michigan. Invest. Serve. Grow. Serve. Invest. EXTRAORDINARY GROWTH AND 2019 INSPIRING COLLABORATION Dear Friends, You need a strong foundation to build something that will last. In 2016, a group of visionary lay leaders established the Catholic Foundation of Michigan. Since then, the Foundation has grown to meet the needs of our community and beyond, building up parishes, strengthening schools and supporting dynamic ministries. We could not have done this good work in our Catholic community without you. In our third year, the Catholic Foundation of Michigan continues to be blessed with generous support from our donors while supporting the ever-growing need of ministries in our area. During 2019, the Foundation’s portfolio grew to nearly $16 million, and since its founding, it has granted over $3 million. This impressive growth is due in large part to the many people who participate in making an impact in our community. When people work together for a shared goal, dynamic energy and enthusiasm is created that leads to a greater outpouring of generosity. Our report this year celebrates that kind of community-based collaboration. This report tells the stories of faithful and generous collaborators who are passionate about a better tomorrow. You are a part of our story. We are grateful for all that you have offered, and we look forward to continuing to work with you for years to come.

  • 2020-2021 Catholic High School Guide
    2020-2021 CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL GUIDE The Archdiocese of Detroit guide for families exploring Catholic high schools LETTER FROM THE AOD OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT DEPARTMENT OF CATHOLIC SCHOOLS October 2020 Dear Prospective Parents and Students, Archbishop Vigneron and I are pleased to share this guide to our excellent Catholic high schools here in the Archdiocese of Detroit. We encourage you to look at the profiles for each high school in this book and visit their websites to learn more about those that interest you. Students in our Catholic high schools acquire the tools to seek wisdom and truth, the discipline to achieve academic excellence, and the capability to transform and enrich the world with the light of Christ’s Gospel. Our schools equip our students well for this world in so many other ways as well: Catholic high school graduates are seven times more likely to practice their faith as adults. Catholic high school graduates earn 14% more than their public or charter peers. Children of color that graduate from Catholic high school are 2.4 times more likely to graduate from college than their public or charter peers. Recognizing that Catholic schools are the premier teaching center of the Church, Archbishop Vigneron and I invite you to explore our Catholic high schools on the pages that follow. For well over 150 years, the Catholic Church in the United States has been blessed to offer Catholic education as a force for change in society and for growth in the Church. We hope that you choose to attend one of our Catholic high and become part of this proud and prominent tradition.
