Opening the Door of Faith OPENING THE DOOR OF faith 2012 ANNUAL REPORT DEAR FRIENDS, In the scriptural passage cited by Pope Benedict XVI as he proclaimed the Year of Faith, the apostles received God’s graces and their lives were changed forever.

We have much to celebrate. I am especially pleased to let you know that Rooted in Faith – Forward in Hope has far exceeded our initial goal, with $170 million raised to strengthen parishes, support schools, provide spiritual formation, promote vocations, educate seminarians, care for retired priests and assist the most vulnerable in our community. Perhaps no accomplishment is more meaningful than the show of strength of the faith among Catholics, as illuminated by the Campaign.

Thank you to the Catholic Community Foundation staff and board. Most importantly, thank you to each and MORE MEANINGFUL THAN every donor, whose faith and trust are truly inspiring. THE SHOW OF STRENGTH Sincerely, OF THE FAITH AMONG CATHOLICS ILLUMINATED Raymond M. Murphy, Board Chair BY THE CAMPAIGN. 2 | Catholic Community Foundation www.catholiccommunity.org | 3 OUR MISSION IS TO FOSTER FAITH-BASED STEWARDSHIP IN THE COMMUNITY FOR THE SPIRITUAL, EDUCATIONAL AND CHARITABLE NEEDS OF ALL. The Catholic Community Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization established in 2000 to support the mission of the Diocese of Cleveland by raising, managing and distributing funds that sustain and grow the Catholic community throughout Northeast Ohio. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised over $210 million* to support the annual and long-term needs of three core services: Catholic Worship & Formation, Catholic Education and Catholic Charities. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, established in 1847, includes eight counties in Northeast Ohio. It ministers to the people of God by working together to provide vision, leadership and service to continue the mission of Jesus to transform the world. “THEY CALLED THE As a community of more than 700,000 Catholics, the Diocese is committed to live by these values: Faith, Dignity, Stewardship, Truth and Justice.

In addition to the formation of seminarians, “I think that I hesitated for the longest time the Diocese of Cleveland provides because I thought I would be giving up my professional development and continued artistic talent.

Terry is one of five deacons to be ordained in May 2013 for service in the Diocese of Cleveland. Rooted in Faith – Forward in Hope has earmarked $10 million to educate and train seminarians at the undergraduate and graduate level here in our diocese, the unique benefits of which Terry knows firsthand. “Having our own seminaries and having gone through the same system creates a unique bond for the priests of our diocese – one that is noticed by priests in other 4 | Catholic Community Foundation www.catholiccommunity.org | 5 FROM PLEDGES TO PROGRESS CAMPAIGN LEADERS SEE EvaNGELIZatION AS FRUITS OF THEIR EFFOrtS Frank and Nancy Benkalowycz had been members of St. Bernadette Parish in Westlake for 27 years when their Pastor, Fr. Phil Racco, asked them to support the Rooted in Faith – Forward in Hope campaign in a leadership role. They were joined by the enthusiastic support of volunteers who helped reach out to families and individuals and as a result raised $1.9 million. St. Bernadette’s Parish Share is already being put to good use for capital repairs to the campus and buildings. Frank understood that Rooted in Faith – Forward in Hope was about more than just fundraising. “The Campaign allowed us to evangelize as we met with parishioners and asked about their needs. I like the fact that the Campaign contributes to infrastructure, but also that its benefits will tug at the heart of many people through media outreach programs, faith formation initiatives to bring parents and their children back into the fold, and by providing more Catholic education opportunities to the youth. These initiatives are vitally important to our future as Catholics.” EXPANDING LEARNING THROUGH INNOvatION Mary Queen of Peace Principal Jennifer Berardinelli couldn’t believe what she was hearing when Fr. Douglas Brown, Pastor, told her the good news. The elementary school, located in the heart of Cleveland’s Old Brooklyn neighborhood, will receive two grants funded by Rooted in Faith – Forward in Hope: $40,000 to purchase desktop Macs for the school computer lab and $10,000 for new school windows. Jennifer notes that the new computers can be used for faith formation since they are not tied to state funding. “We strive to educate the whole student and to give them every possible tool they need to succeed and grow in their faith,” says Jennifer. A total of $15 million of the Rooted in Faith – Forward in Hope funds has been allocated to expand the educational landscape with innovation for Catholic schools throughout Northeast Ohio. www.catholiccommunity.org | 5 CathOLIC CHARITIES CELEBratES 100 YEARS In 1912, the first Annual Appeal for Catholic “I am Catholic” was the theme of the 2012 Charities in the Diocese of Cleveland raised Catholic Charities Annual Appeal.

  • Management Discussion and Analysis FY05 Discussion & Analysis of the Financial Statements
    Management Discussion and Analysis FY05 Discussion & Analysis of the Financial Statements Introduction The most recent audited financial statements of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Boston, a Corporation Sole (Corporation Sole) available are for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2005. These statements, including the combined financial information for the parishes as a group, the central office, the insurance funds and the endowment funds, are provided in section five of this presentation. The Corporation Sole financial statements are complex. The purpose of this report is to explain what these financial statements are telling us and provide a context to help readers further their understanding of them. This is done by answering a series of key questions about the financial statements, with a focus on the following concepts: What does Corporation Sole own? How is it owned, or who has an interest in it? How did that ownership change during the year? What is the assessment of its financial condition? This analysis also answers questions about such matters as the status of the Revolving Loan Fund, activities of the Parish Reconfiguration Funds, the impact of the Clergy Benefit Funds on Corporation Sole and other matters not readily answered by the audited financial statements. The questions related to the sources and uses of funds for the sexual abuse settlements are the subject of a separate report that is being issued simultaneously with this report and therefore are not included in this discussion. Some underlying principles are important to understand in order to use this analysis effectively. Corporation Sole follows the accounting practices used by not-for-profit organizations.
