O R G December 2020 Dear Benefactors and Friends of SOAR!, It is my privilege to present a financial summary of the work of SOAR! for the July 1, 2019-June 30, 2020 fiscal year. This statement of accountability shows the financial viability of this organization. The administration of SOAR! seeks to be responsible, accountable and transparent in our financial activities. In a year full of challenges that none of us could have anticipated, and thanks to its generous benefactors, SOAR! helped ensure the safety and dignity of thousands of aging women and men religious across the country. This includes initiating the COVID-19 Rapid Response Grant Program, which quickly provided funds to address the needs of those suffering from the virus, their caretakers, and aging religious impacted by social isolation. These funds were distributed in June and July of this year. Thanks to your support of these rapid response grants, communities were able to purchase PPE, sanitation supplies, and medical equipment; fund staffing costs; and make up revenue losses due to the ministry closures. The grants also supported technology updates to keep aging Sisters, Brothers, and Priests connected to their communities, families, and ministries. In meeting the immediate needs of aging religious, the SOAR! board of directors also approved a second grant cycle at its September meeting. Two grant cycles each year, in the spring and fall, will provide more flexibility to religious congregations and allow SOAR! to thoughtfully respond to the needs of aging religious as they arise. May God bless you for your generous care and concern for aging Sisters, Brothers and Priests. In gratitude, Sister Kathleen Lunsmann, IHM SOAR!

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Church Apart: The Catholic Church in the Rural South, 1939-1990 A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of History School of Arts & Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Seth R. Smith Washington, D.C. 2016 A Church Apart: The Catholic Church in the Rural South, 1939-1990 Seth R. Smith, Ph.D. Director: Leslie Woodcock Tentler, Ph.D. This dissertation examines Catholicism in the rural South to answer three questions. The first is how did priests and lay Catholics engage in a pluralistic American society before and after Vatican II while drastically outnumbered? The second is what did it mean to be part of the universal Catholic Church while isolated geographically, socially, and institutionally? Finally, how do we balance the impact of major national and international events on the Catholicism in the rural South with the importance of local context? This dissertation seeks to answer these questions by examining the history of seven parishes – four pastored by Glenmary Home Missioners and three pastored by non-Glenmarians – in the rural South between 1939 and 1990. Throughout much of the twentieth century, Southern Catholics were regarded with suspicion by their neighbors without the protections offered by numbers or their own confessional institutions. Catholics in the rural South dealt with this in two ways. The first was by emphasizing their Southerness. Apart from their religious beliefs, they were virtually indistinguishable from their fellow Southerners, and their views on politics, economics, and race hewed much closer to their non-Catholic neighbors than their co-religionists in the North.
