NEW YORK AWARDS GALA DIGITAL JOURNAL - 35TH ANNUAL A VIRTUAL EVENT - SOAR ...
About SOAR!
As the median age of consecrated Catholic religious in the United States today
continues to rise, Sisters, Brothers and Priests are facing a retirement crisis. Many
religious received only modest stipends or no compensation, and there are no
provisions for retirement. The cost of health care has also dramatically increased.
In the spring of 1986, a group of lay people — inspired by an article in The Wall Street
Journal that exposed the severity of the issue — united to address the problem.
Together they formed SOAR!, a national organization committed to helping elderly and
infirm members of Catholic religious congregations in our nation.
Today, SOAR! supports the work of the institutional Church, distributing grants to
congregations across the nation to address immediate practical needs and ensure the
safety, comfort and dignity of our aging religious.
SOAR! brings together people of all religious denominations whose lives have been
touched by the unparalleled contributions of Catholic Sisters, Brothers and Priests. The
mission of SOAR! is not only to ensure their wellbeing, but to help their congregations
to continue their ministry.

How SOAR! Helps
Despite the efforts of many generous Catholics and cost-saving measures implemented
by religious orders, the need to support our retired religious persists.
For religious, the current annual average Social Security benefit is $6,834, as opposed
to $18,170 for lay recipients. It is projected that 64% of religious women and men will be
over 70 years old by 2030.
SOAR! typically provides assistance for projects such as renovations for accessibility;
physical therapy and medical equipment; hospital beds; and fire alarm, sprinkler and
nursing call systems. Thanks in part to SOAR!’s work, the men and women who have
dedicated themselves to serving the Church are living out the last years of their lives
in dignity and safety.
SOAR! practices good stewardship of its donations, and donors’ generous contributions
are directed to the Sisters and Brothers most in need. SOAR! takes responsibility to
ensure that donations are accounted for properly and that congregations use the funds
as the donors intended.

How You Can Help
We need your help to provide for the needs of elderly religious who have taught,
ministered to, and cared for us over the years. SOAR!’s ability to continue to assist
women and men religious in need absolutely depends on the generous contributions
of people like you. You help them age with dignity and grace. SOAR!

                  Bishop John J. O’Hara
                             Auxiliary Bishop
                         Archdiocese of New York
                             Bishop John Joseph O’Hara was ordained to the
                             episcopacy in 2014. Appointed by Cardinal Dolan as
                             Episcopal Vicar of both southern Manhattan and Staten
                             Island, Bishop O’Hara also served the archdiocese as Vicar
                             for Planning. Pope Francis accepted his resignation in
                             April after reaching the retirement age of 75, but Bishop
                             O’Hara plans to remain in active ministry serving the
                             Archdiocese of New York.

                              Bishop O’Hara was ordained to the priesthood in 1984 in
                              Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. He served as parochial vicar at
                              Saint Charles Parish in Oakwood Heights, Staten Island,
and as parochial vicar and then pastor at the Parish of Saint Teresa of the Infant Jesus
in Castleton Corners, Staten Island.

During his years on Staten Island, Bishop O’Hara was very involved in interreligious
dialogue, seeking to build bridges of communication and understanding among the
Island’s very diverse faith communities. He has been a loyal support of SOAR! as Priest,
Pastor and Bishop for nearly thirty years.

In 2012, Cardinal Dolan appointed Bishop O’Hara to be the first Director of the Office
of Strategic Pastoral Planning. In this capacity, Bishop O’Hara supervised the ongoing
reorganization of parishes throughout the archdiocese.

Bishop O’Hara was appointed by Cardinal Dolan as a member of the ecumenical/
interfaith Committee of Religious Leaders, which meets to address issues of
community concern and to provide leadership in promoting understanding and
dialogue among all peoples living with the five boroughs of New York City.

A chaplain to and member of both the Knights of Malta and the Knights of the Holy
Sepulchre, Bishop O’Hara also serves as a board member of the Greater New York
Councils, Boy Scouts of America.

                               Football Giants have been longtime and generous
supporters of SOAR! John Mara has also served for many years on the Board of

SOAR! COVID-19 RAPID RESPONSE GRANTS

The COVID-19 pandemic and its continuing effects have impacted all of us.
For older people, including aging religious women and men, it changed
almost every aspect of daily life. Religious are called to live in community.
During the height of the pandemic, Sisters could not gather together for
daily Mass or prayers, some had to remain in their rooms for months.
“In the midst of the social isolation in convents, monasteries and abbeys,
women and men religious continued to pray for all those impacted by the
pandemic,” said SOAR! President Sister Kathleen Lunsmann, IHM. “SOAR!
wants to help keep our aging religious safe and healthy. Meeting the
immediate needs of aging religious is at the heart of our mission.”
With help from its donors and a generous grant from the Conrad N. Hilton
Foundation, SOAR! initiated a COVID-19 Rapid Response Program. There
were 44 congregations who received grants between June and July of 2020
to help them address the needs arising from the pandemic. Funds were
granted for items such as PPE and sanitizing supplies. SOAR! even funded
the purchase of technology — wifi improvements and personal tablets
which helped religious stay connected to each other, to their families, and to
virtually attend Mass.
Your care and concern for aging religious allows SOAR! to respond needs
impacting their health and safety even during a pandemic. Thank you.

  To help SOAR! continue to be ready to assist religious in times of crisis,
                    please consider donating today.
