Calling All Angels Summer 2018 529 Kansas City Street, Suite 100 Rapid City, SD 57701 (605) 348-6086 www.catholicsocialservicesrapidcity.com Calling All Angels Vucurevich Grant Allows CSS to Quadruple Program UP Services Brittney Papike believes the Uplifting Parents Program helped her escape a life of poverty. Over the next five years, the University of Notre Dame’s Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO) wants to test if Papike, a Rapid City single mom of two kids, is right. Thanks to $1.4 million in new funding from the John T. Vucurevich Foundation that allows Program UP to quadruple the number of families it serves, LEO is able to conduct a randomized controlled trial study to prove if, and how, this Catholic Social Services-led program moves single parent families like Papike’s out of poverty.

    Tightening the Opportunity Gap TM for Youth in our Community Annual Report 2018 A Letter From Our Chief Executive Officer For more than 53 years, Youth & Family Services (YFS) has been a leader, advocate, and innovator in child and family ser- vices. The breadth and depth of our programs have proven to be exceptionally successful in increasing the well-being of children, birth through age 18. It’s an honor and a privilege to present this report highlighting some of our accomplishments from this past year. Many of these achievements were made possible because of the amazing involvement and support of concerned individuals, organizations, businesses, and foundations. In addition to expanding its outreach services, YFS has also been able to keep administrative and fundraising costs below 13%. YFS board members and staff continue to work with parents, educators, law enforcement, other non-profit organizations, and community leaders to ensure the services we provide are effectively meeting the needs of children. Our nine programs deliver comprehensive outreach to underserved youth and families by providing high quality early childhood education, preschool, child care, afterschool and summer youth development programming with academic support and enrichment, intensive case manage- ment for at-risk youth, father involvement and parent engagement, parenting education, mental health counseling and trauma treatment, nutrition and health advocacy services, and violence and substance abuse prevention. Although our services have been a critical component in helping many families become capable, caring, and contributing members of the com- munity, we know more needs to be done. Our programs are filled to capacity, we have waiting lists, and our facilities are overcrowded.

  • List of Directv Channels (United States)
    List of DirecTV channels (United States) Below is a numerical representation of the current DirecTV national channel lineup in the United States. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7). All channels are the East Coast feed if not specified. High definition Most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box. Additionally, the same channel number is listed for both the standard-definition (SD) channel and the high-definition (HD) channel, such as 202 for both CNN and CNN HD. DirecTV HD receivers can tune to each channel separately. This is required since programming may be different on the SD and HD versions of the channels; while at times the programming may be simulcast with the same programming on both SD and HD channels. Part time regional sports networks and out of market sports packages will be listed as ###-1. Older MPEG-2 HD receivers will no longer receive the HD programming. Special channels In addition to the channels listed below, DirecTV occasionally uses temporary channels for various purposes, such as emergency updates (e.g. Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike information in September 2008, and Hurricane Irene in August 2011), and news of legislation that could affect subscribers. The News Mix channels (102 and 352) have special versions during special events such as the 2008 United States Presidential Election night coverage and during the Inauguration of Barack Obama.

This October, we traveled to Rome with Jesuits from all over the world for the Society of Jesus’ 36th General Congregation (GC36). This historic meeting was the 36th time the global Society has come together since the first General Congregation in 1558, nearly two years after St. Ignatius died. General Congregations are always summoned upon the death or resignation of the Jesuits’ Superior General, and this year we came together to elect a Jesuit to succeed Fr. Adolfo Nicolás, SJ, who has faithfully served as Superior General since 2008. After prayerful consideration, we elected Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal, SJ, a Jesuit priest from Venezuela. Father Sosa is warm, friendly, and down-to-earth, with a great sense of humor that puts people at ease. He has offered his many gifts to intellectual, educational, and social apostolates at all levels in service to the Gospel and the universal Church. One of his most impressive achievements came during his time as rector of la Universidad Católica del Táchira, where he helped the student body grow from 4,000 to 8,000 students and gave the university a strong social orientation to study border issues in Venezuela. The Jesuits in Venezuela have deep love and respect for Fr.
