Page 2 Dear Friends—Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It is our joy to share with you this 2011 Catholic Youth Foundation USA Annual Report. Called to Glory was the theme for the 2011 National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) in Indianapolis (November 17-19, 2011). In many ways, the Foundation heard that call to glory in 2011. For the first time ever, the Foundation provided $101,050.00 in scholarships to 520 young people and those who serve them. These funds helped young people attend the NCYC. Specifically, the Foundation: • Sent $10,000.00 to Bishop James V. Johnston (Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau) for the young people who suffered the early spring floods and the May tornado that ripped through Joplin, Missouri. In all, 15 percent of the scholarships went to help victims of natural disasters. • Provided forty percent of the scholarships to youth from Hispanic parishes. • Supported youth suffering economic hardships (20 percent). • Assisted individuals with medical conditions or physical disabilities (4 percent). These three days are life changing experiences—for youth and adult alike. So many young people feel alone and “odd” as they learn their faith. It is hard to feel alone and odd when you are one of 23,000. And our adult youth leaders begin to see what is possible for their own youth ministry. Twenty diocesan directors for youth ministry attended the New Diocesan Directors Institute in May 2011. The Foundation has a long history of helping underwrite the cost of this vital program. All costs associated with the institute are covered. The only cost to the new diocesan director—and his or her diocese—is time and travel expenses. Our grant making promotes youth ministry and youth leadership development. We notice a growing interest in the new evangelization. Not only are our young people learning about their faith—they are learning how to share it with others. We awarded $22,662.50 in grants to eight innovative programs. It is our benefactors that make all of this possible—bishops and grandparents, diocesan directors and youth ministers, godparents and the youth themselves, priests and parents. We continue to hear the call to glory. There is so much to do in the areas of adolescent catechesis, evangelization, sports, and the emerging adults. Through a growing national network of supporters, we can build a faithful future for the young and emerging church. Sincerely yours in Christ, Brian Reynolds Donald R.
