DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. (CNS)—Food For The Poor has disclosed financial and sexual misconduct by founder Ferdinand Mahfood. Jim Cavnar, the agency’s executive director at the time, discussed the situation in an Aug. 22 memo to the Food For The Poor board of directors. He said the scan- dal, if poorly managed, could jeopardize the organization’s financial relationship with the Catholic Church. Cavnar said about 40 per- cent of the private, interna- tional relief agency’s dona- tions came through support- ers who heard Food For The This Ad Is Poor presentations at Catholic churches. Ferdinand Mahfood Camera Ready! resigned from the south Flor- ida-based charity Sept. 25, St. Francis saying his manic depression had caused his inappropriate behavior. 1844 A week later, the agency revealed that Mahfood had 5x10 admitted in August to divert- ing donations to two female Neg employees with whom he was sexually involved. Agency officials said the money has been repaid. Judy Orihuela, a spokes- woman for the Miami divi- sion of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, confirmed Oct. 11 that the bureau’s white-collar crime section was looking into the Food For The Poor situation. Last year, U.S. donors gave $51 million in cash toward Food For The Poor’s total 1999 budget of more than $182 million. Well before the scandal was publicized, Cardinal Bernard F. Law of Boston and Cardinal James A. Hickey of Washington had restricted Food For The Poor from raising funds at Catholic churches in their archdioceses. † Page 8 The Criterion Friday, October 20, 2000 Evansville bishop urges end to death penalty

HHTP://US.WORLDPAGES.COM/317-549-2400 Cathedral High School has played a major role in my life for over 30 years. The first class education that I received at Cathedral gave me the tools I needed to succeed in college and later, in my career as a general contractor.

But, I took much more than an education with me when I graduated from Cathedral; I took with me the relationships I had made with my classmates, their parents and my teachers. These are relationships that have and will continue to have a very positive lasting effect on my life.

For me, the “Cathedral Family” we read and hear so much about could not ring more true. It seems that most of my successes in life somehow point back to my 4 years at Cathedral High School. Both of my business partners have Cathedral ties. One partner was a classmate of mine at Cathedral, and the other was a college roommate of another classmate. The best man in my wedding was a classmate from Cathedral, and although he lives in Chicago, he remains one of my closest friends. It seems like everywhere I go, a Cathedral relationship is involved whether it is a business relationship, social setting or something to do with my family.

Today, the cycle seems to be repeating itself, my daughter who is a freshman at Cathedral has six classmates whose fathers were in my freshman class. Because of the Cathedral tradition, I am sure the relationships she is just now beginning will be ones that will have a tremendous impact on her the rest of her life.

I am proud to be a part of the tradition of CHS. I encourage you to give it a try. The relationships you establish will last a lifetime.
