Ecclesiastes 3:1 One of our great blessings at Catholic Social Services is the timelessness of our mission. Throughout our 99-year history we have seen our services evolve to meet the needs of the time. In 2019, we experienced the bittersweet feeling of knowing that our community had changed to such a great extent that one of our programs was no longer needed. Dayton is now blessed with high quality preschools for all children, in all areas of our community. As a result, we closed Lincoln Academy, the preschool program that had been part of our organization for 40 years. Our intent was to direct those resources to community needs that remained unmet. Who could have predicted a new challenge would happen so abruptly, with such force, and impact so many people? The tornadoes of Memorial Day weekend brought upheaval and suffering that literally happened overnight. The unexpected devastation of our community was met by an even greater response of outreach, generosity, friendship, and genuine caring. Immediate physical needs of food and shelter were quickly met, but it became apparent that long-term recovery for many families would take years. When Catholic Social Services was approached to lead the long-term recovery case management team for our community, we did not hesitate. The confidence in our staff and the Gospel call to serve inspired our response. Since saying yes, Catholic Social Services has built a team of dedicated case managers and developed a system to assist survivors with everything from furniture and first-month deposits for new apartments to repair and rebuilding for homeowners. We have aided hundreds of households with emergency financial assistance and partnered with other organizations to provide trauma informed care for staff, volunteers, and those personally impacted. From Montgomery County north to Celina in Mercer County, the collaboration and generosity have been truly remarkable. It has been an honor to walk alongside so many survivors as they work to put the pieces of their lives back together and plan for the future. Also in 2019, we saw growth and change in our organizational response to infant mortality, especially surrounding the racial disparities in birth outcomes for our African American infants; increased emphasis on programs that result in living wage jobs for those we serve; and additional resources to support school-based counseling, parenting and transportation services in our northern regions. As we began 2020, a new threat to our lives — the coronavirus pandemic — altered the delivery of our services and again reinforced our commitment to help our neighbors in need. Our food pantry became a lifeline for many families as they conserved resources and spent many weeks sheltered at home. As community needs continue to increase and change, our services must reflect our sincere commitment to be responsive, no matter what the challenge. Faithful stewardship requires the willingness to be nimble, the resolve to make hard decisions, and the insight to focus our energies and resources where they are most needed. Contributing to the greater good requires confidence as well as humility, boldness as well as patience, expertise as well as a culture of learning, and always the grace of God. We invite you to join us. Warm regards, Laura Roesch, Chief Executive Officer Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley 2019 Community Impact Report 3 Changing Lives by Meeting Today’s Needs As Catholic Social Services of the Toward the end of the year, CSSMV welcomed the unexpected opportunity to execute a Miami Valley (CSSMV) marks its 99th merger with Life Essentials, a small but well- year of service, the community has come established Dayton nonprofit that would to expect certain things from the agency, immediately enhance and expand CSSMV’s including professionalism, dedication, services and resources for a particularly compassion, and stability.

  • Years of Storm & Stress
    YEARS OF STORM & STRESS Joseph Matt & Americanism with a commentary and notes by Paul Likoudis on Matt's “A Centenary of Catholic Life in Minnesota” published by The Wanderer, January – August 2012 From January to August 2012, The Wanderer published, and offered commentary, on a remarkable series of 36 articles written by this newspaper's long-serving editor Joseph Matt (1877-1966) in 1950-'51 on Americanism, “the German question,” and subjects related to “Cahenslyism,” named after the German Catholic layman Peter Paul Cahensly, who devoted himself to the aid of German-Catholic immigrants. In this series of articles, Joseph Matt told the German-American Catholics' side of the story of what the late Monsignor George Kelly would call the “Battle for the American Church”; i.e. German Catholic opposition to the nascent modernism in Americanism and the Americanist hierarchy's determination to assimilate German Catholics into the American melting pot. As a sort of prelude to this series, we will enter the field of German-American Catholic historiography with some snips from a paper read by University of Chicago historian Kathleen Neils Conzen at the first Edmund Spevack Memorial Lecture at Harvard University, November 7, 2003, which touches on many of the issues we will see Joseph Matt discussing in that series of 36 articles sixty years ago, as he reflected back on the battles of the of the late 19th and early 20th centuries: “....Catholicism has long seemed like an embarrassing guest at the table of American historiography,” observed Conzen, “best ignored in the hope that it will not make a disturbing fuss.
