SPRING 2020 2020 Annual Report Pre-Proof Highlighting Illinois State Scholars Alumni Updates Letter from the President Celebrating Growth in Our School Community VISION PROGRESS AND PLANS AT ST. LAURENCE HIGH SCHOOL SPRING 2020 2020 Annual Report Pre-Proof Highlighting Illinois State Scholars Alumni Updates Letter from the President Celebrating growth in our school community Dear Friends of St. Laurence, St. Laurence is proud of its most recent accomplishments. We live our mission and provide a Catholic education to our students. Most importantly, we embrace our values of compassion, courage, excellence and community. How do we do this? During a time of transformation, there is one constant – growth. After another successful entrance exam, St. Laurence is on track to have sustainable growth by accepting 250 incoming freshmen per year. In addition, since we stand up for what is right, we continue to minimize tuition cost increases and remain one of the most valuable Catholic high schools within the Archdiocese – nearly $2,000 more affordable than any of our peer institutions. Transformation requires courageous leaders. These leaders rallied the community and remained brave when confronted with uncertainty. I want to thank our entire community as we finish our third year of a successful co-educational transition. In the next two years, we will grow to over 900 students with over 40% of them being female! As we pursue excellence in all endeavors, our academic growth is off the charts! Our teachers and students embrace a growth mindset, which leads to achievement. Academic programs are producing students that improve an average of 15 national percentile points from entrance exam to ACT. In 2021, we will become one of three Catholic high schools in Illinois to be an International Baccalaureate World School upon completing our candidacy phase. These accomplishments would not be possible without the constant support from our community. Alumni, faculty, parents and students all share a common understanding and remain unified with our vision to achieve national recognition for our non-traditional, project- based learning curriculum, and attain sustainable growth. We have much more to achieve, and with continued growth comes continued opportunities. St. Laurence is preparing for the future with master planning and new initiatives to remain at the forefront of Catholic education. Please join us and invest in your alma mater. Your investment will have an immediate impact on the lives of our students, your future fellow alumni. They are ready to lead and take on the world! Thank you and Go Vikings! Joseph A. Martinez ’99 President, St. Laurence High School 2 VISION | SPRING 2020 Viking Welcome At St. Laurence, growth can mean We are thrilled to share that our upward this is the fact that 44% of our accepted a lot of different things—it can be trajectory will continue next year, as we students either earned the Leaders/Scholar academic, athletic, spiritual or tested over 300 young men and women for Award—an award bestowed upon students personal.

Yocum This dissertation considers a spectrum of five distinct approaches that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomist Catholic thinkers utilized when engaging with the tradition of modern scientific psychology: a critical approach, a reformulation approach, a synthetic approach, a particular [Jungian] approach, and a personalist approach. This work argues that mid-twentieth century neo-Thomists were essentially united in their concerns about the metaphysical principles of many modern psychologists as well as in their worries that these same modern psychologists had a tendency to overlook the transcendent dimension of human existence. This work shows that the first four neo-Thomist thinkers failed to bring the traditions of neo-Thomism and modern psychology together to the extent that they suggested purely theoretical ways of reconciling them.

Unified this school year from the consolidation of Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary School in McSherrystown, Immaculate Con- ception of the Blessed Virgin Mary School in New Oxford, and Sacred Heart of Jesus School in Cone- wago, St. Teresa of Calcutta School was formed following a several- year study of Catholic school edu- cation in the Adams Deanery.

    This day. Every day. Catholic Charities. 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Every day. ? How can we help At more than 280 locations and service sites across Cook and Lake counties, our first question is, “How can we help?” From food and clothing to housing, job training, and counseling, Catholic Charities meets people where they are and works with them to create new opportunities, new behaviors, and new futures. Whatever the need — a helping hand or longer term care and support — we are proud to bring our experience and expertise to bear in improving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people each year. LETTER FROM THE ARCHBISHOP Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, The love of God and love of neighbor have driven the mission and history of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago for the past 102 years. Through our parishes, religious orders, volunteers, donors, and board members we have brought the Church’s social mission to life. Loving the poor, a mark of the Church from its earliest days, involves enabling all persons to become active participants in the life of society, sharing in and contributing to the common good (Catechism of the Catholic Church). We do this each day through programs and services, which meet the basic human needs of food, clothing and shelter, but also offer professional support to help people reach their full potential and share the fruits of their labors. CARDINAL The enclosed 2019 Annual Report provides us an opportunity to stand in the shoes of the hundreds of thousands of people whose lives have been BLASE J.
