Let us open wide our hearts.,
St. Katharine Drexel
D ea r B r o t h e r s a n d S i s t e r s i n C h r i s t , Through God’s love, all things are possible. And you’re living proof of that powerful fact, as you so generously open wide your hearts to an organization dedicated to strengthening our community in Christ. The Catholic Community Foundation takes its stewardship of your contributions very seriously, and uses the funds you give to touch countless lives through its focus on education, Christian formation, and helping other organizations communicate Christ’s teachings. Your commitment to the mission of this organization demonstrates the power of Faith in action, and for that you have my deepest appreciation. Many are called to God, but only a select few truly live His Word for the benefit of others. As you know, I was delighted to approve the Foundation’s request to adopt Katharine Drexel as its patron saint. Saint Katharine joins Our Lady of Guadalupe in watching over our Catholic community. St. Katherine once explained about the importance of giving, “It is Joy which invites us. Press forward and fear nothing.” This boldness of spirit has guided the Catholic Community Foundation for more than 25 years, and we can all look ahead with confidence (a word that literally means, “with Faith in God”) that the more we open wide our hearts, the more Blessed life will be for us and for future generations. Sincerely yours in Christ, + Thomas J. Olmsted Bishop of Phoenix
Dear Friends,
We had another record year through the 12 months ending
June 30, 2008. The Foundation generated $4.12 million in revenue,
and awarded grants and scholarships totaling $1.48 million.
As I look ahead to the future, I’m filled with anticipation for
what we can achieve together as we carry on the work of Christ
by fostering philanthropy.
This year marks the first time we’ve made an effort to generate
greater awareness of the Foundation through advertising. Our goal
is to educate the many generous Catholics in the diocese about
our mission and how they can start endowments of their own.
Our new advertising campaign will be the foundation of a yearlong
outreach program to parishioners, priests, pastors, and schools.
There are so many ways to support the Foundation, and, in turn, the
great work of our parishes, schools, and related Catholic organizations.
The more people open wide their hearts to join us —as donors,
volunteers, and staff—the more we can share our time, talent, and
resources as God intended.
It will take great effort in the coming year to continue our growth, so
please join me and my fellow gifted board members, Foundation staff,
and volunteers. While we’re guided by the light of Christ, our active
participation in the Foundation increases this glorious light within us.
Faithfully yours,
Dan Santy
2008-2009 Chairman

their Story
The Mulherns traveled to Rome at the end of 2006 to have five of
their eight children confirmed. While they attended Mass on New
Year’s Day 2007, their youngest child, Christina, kept crying and
fussing. “She stopped crying as soon as she saw Pope Benedict
XVI,” Tina remembers, “He came up and kissed her and she
received the kiss so beautifully.”
Upon the family’s return from Rome, an MRI, which was initially
scheduled for before their trip but had to be canceled, revealed
that young Christina had a rare cancer called neuroblastoma.
When Bob and Tina were contemplating where to have Christina’s
operation, they came across a picture of her with Pope Benedict
(see the cover of this report). “When we saw that the pontiff ’s
hand was on the exact spot the cancer was growing, we took
it as a special sign and we knew that Christina was in God’s
hands,” Bob says. “So we stayed with the surgical team at Phoenix
Children’s Hospital, and everything went great.”
“It was a miracle that we found the cancer before it spread,”
Tina adds. “Our Faith was tested, strengthened, and deepened
by this experience, and it has made us realize—even more—how
important it is to have a generous spirit.”

New to the Foundation
The Mulherns turned to the Catholic Community Foundation
early in 2008 to be consistent in their charitable giving. “We
had a family fund at another foundation, and when a friend
told us about the Catholic Community Foundation we thought
it would be a better fit for us,” Bob says. “We want to pass
down three things to our children—Faith, family values,
and good education. The Catholic Community Foundation
reinforces all these things.”
Currently, the Mulherns direct their giving to support the
growing needs of such organizations as First Way, the Bioethics
Defense Fund, Virtue Media, and the Phoenix Institute. They
intend to expand and diversify their giving, and involve their
children in future philanthropic decisions.
“Having everything in one place makes it easy to manage,”
Bob states. “Most organizations depend on monthly giving,
and the Foundation makes sure it all gets taken care of.”
“We want to pass down

Faith, family values,
and good education.

Christian Service Awards
Serving
For eight years, the Catholic Community Foundation has awarded unique, service-based
scholarships to eighth-grade students who wish to attend Catholic high school. These competitive
awards, each worth a total of $8,000 over four years, celebrate the extraordinary, Christ-
centered behavior and service to parish, school, and community exhibited by the recipients.
The Christian Service Awards program has been greatly enhanced for 2009. The number of
awards will increase from 14 to 17, and all 100+ applicants will be granted personal interviews
with the volunteers on the Christian Service Awards committee. Applicants will be asked a
variety of questions about their commitment to service, and where they expect that commitment
to take them in the future.

Patron Saint of the Catholic Community Foundation
In 2008, the Foundation adopted Katharine Drexel as its patron saint. Because of her dedication
to philanthropic work, we invite you to pray to her for intercession on our behalf and let her
inspire your own call to service.
“St. Katharine has already been a blessing to the Foundation,” explains Cindy Todare, the
Chairwoman of the 2009 Crozier Gala. “She is watching over our fundraising efforts and inspires
us with her wise words, ‘Freely you have received. Freely give.’”
St. Katharine was born into a wealthy family. Her parents were noted philanthropists, and she
answered the call to serve, using her fortune to help others. She had a special affinity to serve
African and Native Americans by establishing schools throughout the South and Southwest.
At 77, she suffered a heart attack and was forced to retire. For nearly 20 years, she rested quietly
in a small room overlooking the sanctuary of the order of nuns she established, the Sisters of
the Blessed Sacrament. Small notebooks and slips of paper record her various prayers, ceaseless
aspirations, and meditations. She died at age 96 and was canonized in 2000 by Pope John Paul II.

An outreach ministry of St. Timothy Catholic Community in Tempe, Paz de Cristo provides
a wide range of services to support the working poor and homeless in the Phoenix metropolitan
area’s East Valley.
The organization served its first evening meal in September of 1988. Today, Paz de Cristo
offers a free meal service at 5:30 p.m., seven days a week, to nearly 200 people each night. The
organization also runs two food box programs, distributes free personal care products, provides
intensive job preparation, and operates a global fair trade store at its Mesa headquarters.
“Our annual budget is about $600,000 and we were thrilled to get our first grant this year
from the Catholic Community Foundation,” says Michael Boos, Director of Paz de Cristo.
“The $2,000 we received will help us serve about 1,200 meals.”
According to Grants Committee Chairwoman Maureen Adams, the Foundation added Paz de
Cristo to the list of grant recipients because of the excellent work being done by the charity
and to support the Foundation’s efforts to reach out to all areas of the Diocese of Phoenix.
“Paz de Cristo,” she says, “provided a wonderful opportunity for the Foundation to serve those
in need in the East Valley.”
Each month, nearly 1,000 volunteers from more than 60 faith communities, civic groups,
