A LETTER FROM FATHER JOHN
Dear Friends,
I am truly humbled by the outpouring of support by
many donors to this campaign. As I reflect upon why
you have chosen to continue to support our mission, I
am flooded with memories over my lifetime.
I have known many of you and your families for
years. I have celebrated and blessed the marriages
of many couples, baptized and welcomed numerous
babies with joy, and I have prayed with you in times of
sorrow and grief at the end of a loved one’s life. While
your charitable donations have a direct effect on our
programs, your support feels personal to me. I share
your caring and goodwill with our staff every day. You
Blessings,
are providing the gas in the engine for our dedicated
staff to meet those struggling where they are every
day. Your donations and volunteer hours are fueling our
ability to care deeply for those suffering.

During our prior fiscal year, 4,035 patients visited
one of three dental clinics to receive oral health
education and treatment, including preventative,
diagnostic, emergency, and restorative services.
COVID-19 affected the operation of the clinics,
and they closed to ensure the safety of patients
and staff, but they were able to provide free
access to an emergency telephone hot line
and provide emergency referrals to patients in
need. Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous
donor, specialty equipment was purchased
to enable a modified reopening between late
June and early-August. The clinics are now
running at 60 to 65 percent of capacity as many
people are social distancing and hesitant to
be in close contact with a dentist, whereas the
clinics were at 90 percent of capacity before the
pandemic. Coupled with the new equipment,
Catholic Charities has adapted by offering longer
individual appointments that allow for several
procedures for the patient. The evening clinics
had more than 850 unique patients in fiscal year
2019 and more than 600 in fiscal year 2020.
One grateful patient said through translation, “Thank you very much for
your help and patience with us, especially for the evening clinic hours.

hard to find time in my busy day. I trust the doctors and, even though
