Please know that you, as alumni, friends and benefactors of Cathedral, are very much part of our community. Not a day goes by that I do not have a visit from an alumnus to the school. Whether you attended 555 Washington Avenue or here in Elmhurst, whether you attended the six year program or the four year high school, Cathedral has helped to shape us into the men we are today. We have had some wonderful experiences since the last newsletter went to press. In December, the Tuition Assistance Program was inaugurated at the rectory of St. James Cathedral-Basilica in Brooklyn. Special thanks to Msgr. John J. Strynkowski, '58, St. James’ Rector, for hosting us that night. Thanks, too, to Michael Cox, '74, and Jerry Magaldi, '74, for spearheading this program for us. Thanks to the generosity of so many, the program is off to a great start: $115,485.00 has been collected to date, all going to help bring young men who are open to priestly vocations and who could not necessarily afford it to Cathedral Prep. Thanks, too, to all those who are assisting in this year’s Annual Appeal. Our chairman, John Casey, '57, and Deacon Chris Wagner, '89, and their committee have done a wonderful job “casting the net,” this year’s theme, trying to get as many alumni and friends involved, all helping to create a tremendous future for the young men at Cathedral Prep. Again, this issue contains a listing of those who gave so far to this year’s appeal. It certainly is not too late to participate! I have been blessed by those loyal friends and alumni who help form the committees here at Cathedral: our Alumni Executive Board, St. Matthew Society, Hall of Fame Committee, Golf Committee, Day at the Races Committee and so many others. Thank you all for helping make my first year as Director of Development and Alumni Affairs such an easy transition. Please know that “casting the net,” is more than just a phrase for our Annual Appeal- it’s what our office of Development and Alumni Affairs is trying to do. We hope that you know that you are always welcome to come and visit Cathedral Prep. Feel free to stop by and whatever assistance my staff and I can offer you, we'll be happy to do so. Know that you are remembered daily here at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in our chapel here at Cathedral. Please pray for me as well! Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. John P. Cush, '90 Director of Development and Alumni Affairs Spiritual Director 3 ALUMNI ALL SOULS' REMEMBERANCE MASS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2011 at 8:10 AM We will once again celebrate Memorial Mass for our deceased alumni and benefactors as well as the intentions for our alumni and benefactors on Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at 8:10 AM. Mass will be celebrated along with the student body. Please notify the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs if you are able to attend at 718/ 592-6800, ext. 137 or at [email protected]. If you wish to submit names to be remembered at Mass or in need of Memorial Cards please contact the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs.

  • 2013 Annual Report
    2013 ANNUAL REPORT A Message from His Eminence, Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan With all the changes taking place in healthcare today, people are more concerned than ever about finding the best care for themselves and those they love. For those who depend on government insurance benefits, changes in how Medicare and Medicaid pay for services like long-term care have only added to their uncertainty and stress. The genius of the Church is that we always find ways to keep pace with our changing society. As the needs of our commu- nities have evolved, ArchCare has evolved along with them. Over the last several years, our diocesan healthcare ministry has transformed itself from a provider of nursing home care for the frail elderly to offer a broad array of care options, including home and community-based services. Sadly, as has happened with some public hospitals and nurs- ing homes, we have seen a few Catholic healthcare providers in our area close their doors recently, leaving some to believe that Catholic healthcare is in retreat. Here in the Archdio- cese of New York, nothing could be further from the truth! ArchCare is growing, delivering top-quality care with Catholic values to more people in more places and in fresh, new ways. Forced to adapt to a changing healthcare landscape, many providers said, “We can’t!” We as Catholics say, “We can, and we will!” As the Gospel teach- es, “Nothing is impossible with God!” While much about healthcare in our country today remains uncertain, at ArchCare there is one thing we can always count on.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2019 Something is happening here. Christ is here, and his coming brings us joy! from the president Let all who arrive be welcomed as Christ. Dear friends, What has marked the momentous years in your life? Weddings? Births? New ventures and adventures? The past year has been truly momentous for Mount Angel. Long-planned projects came to fruition —thanks to the unceasing prayers of our monks and friends, the generosity of our donors, and some dedicated beer fans! Benedictine Brewery opened its St. Michael Taproom to the public a year ago and has recently sailed through its second annual Oktoberfest with larger revenues and thumbs-up reviews. More important, the taproom’s guests enjoy meeting the monks and learning about Mount Angel. Join them! Have you had a chance to visit the newly re-opened Saint Benedict Guesthouse and Retreat Center? Its welcoming new spaces have inspired our guests and renewed the monks’ ministry of hospitality. Whether you live near or far, please consider reserving a room for the spiritual retreat your soul needs. It’s waiting for you. Thanks to careful planning, the Abbey’s historic library will be refurbished in time to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2020. True to its Benedictine heritage, the library represents the tradition of sharing and preserving the best of theology and culture. Remember, if you live within a 50-mile radius of Mount Angel, you qualify for a library card. So much more has happened this year, including a nationwide downturn in priestly vocations and seminary enrollment. Mount Angel Seminary meets this trend with a spirit of confidence.

    Creating Ripples of HopeHopeGiving Today Impacting Tomorrow 2009 Annual Report IS PLEASED TO HONOR THE Alive in Hope Foundation of the Diocese of Brooklyn for excellence in materials used to promote diocesan stewardship AWARDED FOR ITS Total Foundation Effort “God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well.” Romans 12.6-11 11 October 2009 Dallas, Texas Creating Ripples HopeHopeof In 1996 the first gift was made to the Alive in Hope Campaign; a historic event in the life of the Diocese of Brooklyn. That first expression of generosity begot another, and another, leading to the creation of the Alive in Hope Foundation. Eleven years later, $23 million has been distrib- uted in support of the Catholic community in Brooklyn and Queens. One act of love calls forth another, creating ripples of hope for generations to come. Giving Today, Impacting Tomorrow 1 DearDear Dear Friends in Christ, “Do not be afraid of Christ. He takes nothing away, and He gives you everything. When we give ourselves to Him, we receive a hundredfold in return.” Benedict XVI Rooted in deep faith, summoned by hope, and impelled by charity, we join together and sustain the commandment of love. It was clearly love for our Church and its future that led a group of visionaries and caring individuals to form the Alive in Hope Foundation eleven years ago. They recognized that creating a foundation that would gather gifts and grow them over the years would provide for the ministerial needs of our Church. In order to have a sense of the divine and the eternal in your life, you must be a hope-giver to others—not only by how you treat others in your interpersonal transactions but in the way you give your tangible gifts away.
