REFUGEE RESETTLEMENTCATHOLIC CHARITIES REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM (CCRRP) HAS A RICH HISTORY OF SERVING PRIMARY REFUGEES IN OUR COMMUNITY SINCE 1975. THE REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM MEETS THE REGIONAL NEEDS OF THE REFUGEES DESIGNATED TO RESETTLE HERE, EITHER THROUGH FAMILY REUNIFICATION OR AS "FREE CASES" ASSIGNED TO OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. NEW REFUGEES ARE AT THEIR MOST VULNERABLE AS THEY ENTER THE UNITED STATES. AS THE ONLY RESETTLEMENT AGENCY IN SOUTHEASTERN MINNESOTA, CCRRP SEEKS TO ADDRESS THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL NEEDS OF ALL NEW REFUGEES SUCH AS ACCESS TO SHELTER, FOOD, CLOTHING, INCOME, MEDICAL CARE, EDUCATION, AND EMPLOYMENT. OPERATING UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS/ MIGRATION AND REFUGEE SERVICES (USCCB/MRS) IN COLLABORATION WITH DEPARTMENT OF STATE/BUREAU OF POPULATION, REFUGEES, AND MIGRATION (DOS/PRM), CCRRP CARRIES OUT REFUGEE SERVICES TO ADDRESS NEEDS BY PROVIDING DIRECT CASE MANAGEMENT AND NETWORKING WITH THE INTENTION OF BUILDING FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE. FINANCIAL SELF-SUFFICIENCY IS ACHIEVED THROUGH ACQUIRING SAFE AND STABLE HOUSING, ASSET BUILDING, FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING, AND BASIC EMPLOYMENT SOFT SKILLS TRAINING WHICH ASSISTS REFUGEES IN GAINING THE ABILITY TO SECURE EMPLOYMENT, A MORE SUSTAINABLE AND SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE. WE ALSO PROVIDE CULTURAL, TRANSPORTATION, SHOPPING AND BUDGETING ORIENTATIONS. WE WELCOMED 200 INDIVIDUALS IN FISCAL YEAR 2024. REFUGEE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES WE CARED FOR CAME FROM BURMA (MYANMAR), DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, GUATEMALA, ETHIOPIA, AFGHANISTAN, SYRIA, SUDAN, SOUTH SUDAN AND SOMALIA. WE SAW CASES CONSISTING OF ONE INDIVIDUAL TO CASES COMPRISED OF TWO TO EIGHT. AS A PROGRAM, OUR GREATEST STRENGTH IS OUR INTENSIVE CLIENT-CENTERED CASE MANAGEMENT. GOALS ESTABLISHED FOR REFUGEES ARE INTENDED TO: ADDRESS IMMEDIATE SOCIAL/EDUCATIONAL NEEDS, ATTAIN A STABLE ENVIRONMENT, DEVELOP SKILLS FOR EMPLOYMENT, UNDERSTAND BASIC FINANCIAL PRINCIPLES, AND PROMOTE SEAMLESS INTEGRATION. THE PROCESS WE UTILIZE ENTAILS AN INTAKE AND ASSESSMENT, GOAL DEVELOPMENT, INTERVENTION, REFERRALS, MONITORING AND REASSESSING THROUGHOUT THE SERVICE PERIOD AND TRANSITIONING SERVICES SEAMLESSLY TO OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS AT THE END OF THE 90-DAY RESETTLEMENT PERIOD. THE GOAL OF RESETTLEMENT IS EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS THAT WILL ASSIST THEM ON THE ROAD TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY. REFUGEES WANT WHAT MANY AMERICANS WANT: TO FEEL A PART OF THEIR COMMUNITY, GAIN EMPLOYMENT, AND ULTIMATELY FIND A PLACE TO CALL "HOME."CATHOLIC CHARITIES REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT CONTINUES TO FACILITATE THE MATCH GRANT EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM, WHICH ASSISTS REFUGEES THAT ARRIVE WITH WORK HISTORY AND SOME FLUENCY IN FINDING EMPLOYMENT WITHIN 240 DAYS AFTER THEIR ARRIVAL. MATCH GRANT SERVICES INCLUDE RESUME BUILDING, EMPLOYMENT SOFT SKILLS TRAINING, INTERVIEWING SKILLS TRAINING, JOB SEARCH ASSISTANCE, AND POST-EMPLOYMENT ADVOCACY AND MEDIATION. WE ARE CURRENTLY SERVED 56 INDIVIDUALS IN THE MATCH GRANT PROGRAM THIS LAST YEAR. CCRRP ALSO FACILITATES THE REFUGEE CASH ASSISTANCE (RCA) PROGRAM. RCA IS A TWELVE-MONTH GOVERNMENT FUNDED CASH ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR REFUGEES THAT ARRIVE AS SINGLES OR MARRIED COUPLES WITHOUT CHILDREN. IN FY24 WE SERVED 69 INDIVIDUALS.THROUGH A USCCB PARISHES ORGANIZED TO WELCOME REFUGEES (POWR) GRANT WE WORKED WITH COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO PURCHASE GROCERIES FOR NEWLY ARRIVED FAMILIES WITH CULTURAL GOOD ITEMS GIVING THEM A SENSE OF WELCOME AND FOOD SECURITY IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS IN THEIR NEW HOME. WE THANK ALL THE VOLUNTEERS THAT HAVE DEDICATED MANY HOURS TO WELCOME FAMILIES AND HELP GUIDE THEM IN THEIR NEW COMMUNITY AS WELL AS BEFRIEND THEM, LIVING THE WORDS OF "WELCOMING THE STRANGER." IN FISCAL YEAR 2024, WE CONTINUED TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY'S WELCOME OF REFUGEES THROUGH DONATIONS OF ESSENTIAL HOUSEHOLD ITEMS (BEDS/TABLES/CHAIRS, NEW PILLOWS, ETC), CHILDREN'S WELCOME BASKETS, HYGIENE BAGS, CLEANING SUPPLY KITS, AND SURVIVAL KITS. THESE KITS/BASKETS CONTINUE TO BE A WONDERFUL WAY FOR INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS THAT WANT TO SUPPORT REFUGEES IN OUR COMMUNITY, TO ASSIST THEM IN GAINING THE BASIC ITEMS NEEDED AS THEY ESTABLISH THEMSELVES IN THE COMMUNITY. EACH FAMILY, DEPENDING ON THE SIZE, RECEIVES AN ESTIMATED $1,000-$2,000 DOLLARS IN DONATED ITEMS, COMPLETELY FROM THE GENEROSITY OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THE SUPPORT FROM ALL THE COMMUNITIES IN SOUTHERN MINNESOTA THAT HAVE HELPED US THIS YEAR.CATHOLIC CHARITIES REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM'S MISSION IS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF NEWLY ARRIVED REFUGEES BY PROVIDING ONE-ON-ONE CASE MANAGEMENT TO GUIDE THEM ON THEIR NEW JOURNEY AND EMPOWER THEM IN THEIR NEW LIFE.

AS THE AGING POPULATION RISES, SO TOO DOES THE NEED FOR SERVICES FOCUSED ON HELPING THEM TO REMAIN INDEPENDENT, WHICH IS WHAT THE MAJORITY OF OUR WORK SUPPORTS. THE ABOVE NUMBER INCLUDES 260 NEW VOLUNTEERS AND 4 NEW PARTNER SITES. OLDER ADULTS IN OUR PROGRAM CONTINUE TO SHOW RESILIENCE AS THEY WORK TO CONNECT AND SERVE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THE NONPROFITS IN THOSE COMMUNITIES VALUE THE CONTRIBUTIONS THESE VOLUNTEERS OFFER.ACTIVE AGING PROGRAMS ALSO PROVIDES HEALTH AND WELLNESS OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCES THAT ARE CHANGING LIVES.

THESE ARE DONE THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH OLMSTED COUNTRY WOMEN'S SHELTER AND ST. VINCENT DE PAUL. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN ABLE TO HOLD SEVERAL TWO HOUR SEMINARS FOR OLDER ADULTS, CENTERING ON AVOIDING SCAMS AND ELDER FINANCIAL FRAUD. THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS, 65 PEOPLE WERE SERVED.IN AN EFFORT TO EXPAND THE MEDIAPPS SERVICES, THIS PROGRAM WILL NOW COME UNDER ACTIVE AGING. OUR HOPE IS TO UTILIZE AMERICORPS SENIORS VOLUNTEERS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE IN NAVIGATING THE PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS WITH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES WITH A GOAL OF ENROLLING OLDER ADULTS THROUGHOUT OUR AREA. AMERICORPS SENIORS FUNDING FOR 2025-27 HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR AND PENDING, INCLUDING THE ADDITION OF WORK DONE THROUGH MEDIAPPS.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990 PART III LINE 4D FINANCIAL LITERACY PROGRAM - CATHOLIC CHARITIES FINANCIAL LITERACY PROGRAM CONSISTS OF WORKSHOPS; GENERALLY 3 TO 4 HOUR CLASSES INTENDED TO ENGAGE PARTICIPANTS, TEENS, YOUNG ADULTS, AND ADULTS, OF LOW TO MODERATE INCOME ON VARIOUS BUDGETING AND MONEY MANAGEMENT TOPICS. WE PROVIDED FINANCIAL LITERACY WORKSHOPS TO INDIVIDUALS, REPRESENTING ALL WALKS OF LIFE. THE OVERALL IMPACT OF THE PROGRAM IS THAT PARTICIPANTS GAIN FINANCIAL STABILITY THROUGH IMPROVED FINANCIAL LITERACY. CONCEPTS DISCUSSED IN THE CLASSES INCLUDE: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NEEDS AND WANTS, ESTABLISHING SAVINGS, SETTING LONG-TERM FINANCIAL GOALS, RETIREMENT PLANNING, ASSET BUILDING, CREDIT SCORES/CREDIT BUILDING, AND VARIOUS BUDGETING TECHNIQUES. THE PROGRAM HELPS PARTICIPANTS AVOID FINANCIAL PLANNING MISTAKES AND LEARN HOW TO USE MONEY TO BOTH EMPOWER THEIR LIVES AND ATTAIN LONG-TERM LIFE GOALS. THE END OBJECTIVE FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS IS TO BUILD ASSETS AND GAIN FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE. THE WORKSHOP MATERIALS AND OVERALL ATMOSPHERE WELCOMES CONVERSATION ON MONEY MANAGEMENT AND TOUCHES ON THE EMOTIONAL COMPONENTS OF OVERSPENDING. THE FACILITATOR OF THE CLASS WORKS TO ESTABLISH GOOD RAPPORT WITH PARTICIPANTS TO MAKE THEM FEEL COMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT PERSONAL FINANCES, AND MAKES REFERRALS TO SERVICE PROVIDERS WHEN NEEDS ARE IDENTIFIED. ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE PROVIDED A FOLDER WITH FINANCIAL RESOURCES, BUDGETING TOOLS, AND A FREE CALENDAR. CLASSES ARE HELD AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY, SUCH AS THE ROCHESTER PUBLIC LIBRARY AND HAWTHORNE EDUCATION CENTER, AND SCHEDULED GROUP CLASSES WITH INTERESTED COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT WISH TO HAVE CLASSES AT THEIR LOCATION SUCH AS THE WOMEN'S SHELTER, ALTERNATIVE LEARNING CENTER FOR TEENS, AND LINK (LIVING INDEPENDENTLY WITH KNOWLEDGE FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS). THROUGH A SPECIAL TEEN CURRICULUM, OUR PROGRAM ALSO WORKS TO ADDRESS THE NEED FOR FINANCIAL LITERACY TRAINING FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS IN OUR COMMUNITY. AMERICAN TEENS, WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER COUNTRIES, WERE FOUND TO BE DEFICIENT IN FINANCIAL LITERACY SKILLS AND WERE UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND QUESTIONS ON FINANCES BEYOND DISCERNING BETWEEN NEEDS AND WANTS. FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS, THE CLASSES ARE EARLY PREVENTION OF FINANCIAL PLANNING MISTAKES WITH THE BUILDING OF MONETARY KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS, COMMUNITY FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND THE CONFIDENCE IN MAKING DECISIONS AND GOALS FOR THEIR ECONOMIC WELLBEING. A SOCIAL WORKER ATTENDED A CLASS RECENTLY WITH ONE OF HER CLIENTS WHO IS A SENIOR AT THE ALTERNATIVE LEARNING CENTER (ALC). THIS STUDENT IDENTIFIED AS HAVING DIFFICULTY AT HOME AND WAS ASKED TO MOVE OUT. THE SOCIAL WORKER WANTED THIS STUDENT TO GET THE FINANCIAL LITERACY GROUNDWORK TO HELP HIM ESTABLISH HIS UNDERSTANDING OF FINANCIAL DECISIONS WHEN HE IS ON HIS OWN. HIS QUESTIONS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND FINANCIAL TERMS DURING THE CLASS WERE GREAT EXAMPLES FOR THE ADULTS THAT WERE ATTENDING AS WELL. WHEN WE WERE TEACHING A CLASS AT ALC, THIS STUDENT STOPPED IN AND SHARED HIS EXPERIENCE WITH THE REST OF CLASS AND HOW HELPFUL THE INFORMATION WAS THAT HE RECEIVED. HE ALSO STATED HE FELT MORE EMPOWERED TO GO FORWARD ON HIS OWN AND NOW KNOWS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO CONTROL AND UNDERSTAND YOUR OWN FINANCES. WE APPLAUD THE SOCIAL WORKER FOR HER INSIGHT IN USING OUR PROGRAM AS A RESOURCE AND THE YOUNG PERSON FOR HIS OPENNESS TO LEARNING FOR HIS FINANCIAL FUTURE. WE SEE FINANCIAL LITERACY AS THE FOUNDATION FOR EMPOWERMENT IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE. MONEY DOES NOT BUY HAPPINESS BUT IT DOES INFLUENCE OUR PERCEPTION OF HAPPINESS AND OUR POTENTIAL OF SUCCESS.
FORM 990 PART III LINE 4D ADOPTION CATHOLIC CHARITIES HAS BEEN CREATING FAMILIES IN SOUTHERN MINNESOTA FOR OVER 75 YEARS. WE ARE A CHILD PLACING AGENCY LICENSED IN MINNESOTA. OUR LICENSED SOCIAL WORKERS PROVIDE DOMESTIC INFANT ADOPTION SERVICES, INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION SERVICES, AND DESIGNATED ADOPTION SERVICES. IN DOMESTIC INFANT ADOPTION, OUR SOCIAL WORK STAFF HELPS TO FACILITATE THE MATCH BETWEEN BIRTHPARENTS AND ADOPTIVE COUPLES AND ASSIST WITH THE PROCESS OF FREEING THE CHILD FOR ADOPTION AND PLACEMENT OF THE CHILD IN THE ADOPTIVE HOME, AS WELL AS THE SUPERVISION OF THE ADOPTIVE PLACEMENT THROUGH THE ADOPTION LEGALIZATION. THE ADOPTION STAFF IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE ADOPTION PROCESS BOTH TO THE ADOPTIVE COUPLE AND THE BIRTHPARENTS. WE HAVE A SUPERVISED PROVIDER AGREEMENT WITH HOLT INTERNATIONAL OF OREGON TO COMPLETE INTERNATIONAL ADOPTIVE HOME STUDIES AND PROVIDE POST PLACEMENT SUPERVISION WITH MINNESOTA RESIDENTS LIVING IN OUR SERVICE AREA WHO WANT TO ADOPT INTERNATIONALLY. DESIGNATED ADOPTION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO ADOPTIVE APPLICANTS CHOOSING NOT TO BE A PART OF OUR DOMESTIC ADOPTION PROGRAM, BUT ARE IN NEED OF INDIVIDUAL SERVICES SUCH AS A STUDY OR POST PLACEMENT SERVICES. WE OFFER A QUARTERLY "JOURNEY TO ADOPT" EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT GROUP FOR OUR FAMILIES WHO HAVE COMPLETED THE ADOPTION STUDY PROCESS AND ARE READY TO ADOPT. WE ARE PROACTIVE IN OUR EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE BOTH ADOPTIVE PARENTS AND BIRTHPARENTS HAVE A FULL COMPLEMENT OF SERVICES. IN EVERY ADOPTION, THE WELFARE OF THE CHILD IS OF PRIMARY CONCERN. ADOPTION PROGRAM SERVICE FEES ARE PAID BY ADOPTIVE COUPLES AND DESIGNED TO COVER THE OPERATING EXPENSES OF THE PROGRAM. TO ELIMINATE COST AS A BARRIER TO ADOPTION, A PORTION OF THE ADOPTION FEES ARE ASSESSED ON A SLIDING SCALE BASED ON HOUSEHOLD INCOME WITH A MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM CAP. ANY DEFICITS ARE SUPPLEMENTED BY GENERAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO CATHOLIC CHARITIES. THE MAJORITY OF CHILDREN ARE PLACED DIRECTLY OUT OF THE HOSPITAL INTO THE ADOPTIVE HOME. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT WAYS DOMESTIC INFANT ADOPTION HAPPENS. PREGNANT WOMEN MAY COME TO THE AGENCY LOOKING TO PLACE THEIR CHILD IN AN ADOPTIVE HOME, WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SERVICE OPTION, AND WE ARE READY TO ASSIST BOTH THE ADOPTIVE PARENTS AND BIRTHPARENT IN THAT PROCESS. ANOTHER WAY IN WHICH ADOPTIVE PARENTS AND BIRTHPARENTS ARE MAKING A CONNECTION IS THROUGH PERSONAL CONNECTIONS OR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. WOMEN PLACING THEIR CHILDREN FOR ADOPTION DO SO BECAUSE THEY WANT MORE FOR THE CHILD THAN WHAT THEY CAN PROVIDE. DURING THIS REPORTING CYCLE, 13 FAMILIES RECEIVED ADOPTION SERVICES. CATHOLIC CHARITIES ADOPTIVE FAMILIES SHARE IN THEIR OWN WORDS WHAT ADOPTION HAS MEANT TO THEM: "THE HOME STUDY PROGRAM WAS VERY EDUCATIONAL FOR US ON NOT ONLY ABOUT THE TYPES OF ADOPTIONS BUT ALSO THE MANY OF THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL THINGS WE AS A COUPLE AND OUR POTENTIAL CHILD WOULD FACEWE TOOK SOLACE IN THE CATHOLIC CHARITIES ADOPTION SUPPORT CLASSES AND WITH OTHER COUPLES WHO WERE HAVING SIMILAR WAIT TIMES. ADOPTION FOR US CERTAINLY HAD ITS CHALLENGES, BUT ITS BENEFITS WELL OUTWEIGH THOSE AND WE WILL NEVER REGRET OUR CHOICE TO PURSUE ADOPTION FOR OUR FAMILY." "OUR JOURNEY TO ADOPT HAS ALREADY HAD SOME HIGHS AND LOWS BUT WE TRY TO REMEMBER THAT WE'RE NOT THE FIRST - AND WE WON'T BE THE LAST - TO TAKE THIS JOURNEY. THANKS TO CATHOLIC CHARITIES, WE ARE OFTEN REMINDED WE'RE NOT ON THIS PATH ALONE. WE ATTEND INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS WITH OTHER COUPLES WAITING TO ADOPT AND WE'VE DEVELOPED FRIENDSHIPS WITH THESE OTHER SPECIAL PEOPLE. WE TALK ABOUT OUR PLANS TO ADOPT OPENLY WITH FRIENDS AND STRANGERS, WHICH INEVITABLY HAS LED TO PEOPLE SHARING THEIR STORIES OF ADOPTION WITH US. THIS ADVOCACY IS VERY IMPORTANT WORK - WE BELIEVE FAMILIES COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES. A STRONG FAMILY IS NOT TIED TOGETHER BY BLOOD AND GENETICS; IT'S TIED BY PEOPLE WHO LOVE AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER." POST ADOPTION SERVICE POST ADOPTION SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO ADOPTED ADULTS, BIRTHPARENTS, ADOPTIVE PARENTS OF MINOR CHILDREN, AND GENETIC SIBLINGS, WHO MAY CHOOSE TO ENGAGE IN A SEARCH PROCESS WITH THE AGENCY. AS A LICENSED ADOPTION AGENCY, CATHOLIC CHARITIES KEEPS EVERY PERMANENT ADOPTION RECORD FOR THE FAMILIES AND BIRTHPARENTS WE HAVE WORKED WITH. POST ADOPTION SERVICES INCLUDE ANSWERING REQUESTS FOR MEDICAL OR BACKGROUND INFORMATION OR AN ACTUAL SEARCH FOR CONTACT WITH THE OTHER PARTY. FEES ARE CHARGED. ASSISTANCE AND COUNSELING IS OFFERED TO ALL WHO COME LOOKING FOR SERVICES. CATHOLIC CHARITIES ADHERES TO MINNESOTA STATUTES AND RULES REGARDING POST ADOPTION SEARCH AND RECORDS. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE IN THE POST ADOPTION JOURNEY. DURING THIS REPORTING CYCLE, 79 HOUSEHOLDS RECEIVED POST ADOPTION SERVICES WHICH INCLUDED INTERMEDIARY EXCHANGES BETWEEN BIRTHPARENTS AND ADOPTIVE PARENTS OR BIRTHPARENTS AND THEIR ADULT CHILDREN. PREGNANCY, PARENTING, AND ADOPTION CATHOLIC CHARITIES BELIEVES IN CARING FOR THE GIFT OF LIFE AND PROVIDES POSITIVE ALTERNATIVES TO ABORTION. WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING SERVICES TO PREGNANT AND PARENTING WOMEN FOR OVER 75 YEARS. WE OFFER FREE, CONFIDENTIAL SUPPORT FOR THOSE WHO ARE PREGNANT. WE HELP WOMEN AND MEN THOUGHTFULLY DECIDE BETWEEN PARENTING OR ADOPTION SO THEY CAN CONFIDENTLY PURSUE THE BEST PLAN FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR BABIES. A SOCIAL WORKER IS ON CALL 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR. OUR PREGNANCY, PARENTING AND ADOPTION PROGRAM OFFERS TANGIBLE HELP AND A SENSE OF HOPE DURING TIMES OF CRISIS. WOMEN FACED WITH AN UNPLANNED PREGNANCY RECEIVE THE SUPPORT NEEDED TO SELF-DETERMINE WHAT WILL BE THE BEST PLAN FOR THEIR BABY. IF THE EXPECTANT PARENT CHOOSES TO MAKE AN ADOPTION PLAN FOR THEIR CHILD, CATHOLIC CHARITIES ASSISTS THE BIRTHPARENT BY OFFERING COUNSELING AND DECISION MAKING SUPPORT, HELP IN SELECTING AND MEETING AN ADOPTIVE FAMILY, DETERMINING HOW MUCH OPENNESS THEY WANT, AND MAKING A PLAN FOR THE HOSPITAL TIME AND THEIR FUTURE. IF THE EXPECTANT PARENT CHOOSES TO RAISE THEIR CHILD, CATHOLIC CHARITIES WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT TO MAKE A PARENTING PLAN, PARENTING EDUCATION, AND ACCESS TO BABY ITEMS SUCH AS A FREE PACK N PLAY, INFANT CAR SEAT, DIAPERS, AND WIPES. THE MOTHER CHILD ASSISTANCE FUND HELPS WOMEN TO CARRY THEIR BABY TO TERM AND HELPS WOMEN WITH BABIES BY PROVIDING THE DIRECT SUPPORT THEY NEED TO WORK THROUGH DIFFICULTIES THEY ARE FACING. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FOR RENT, UTILITIES, AND OTHER NEEDS. SUPPORT FOR THE MOTHER AND CHILD ASSISTANCE FUND IS RAISED THROUGH OUR ANNUAL BABY BOTTLE CAMPAIGN EACH OCTOBER, DURING RESPECT LIFE MONTH. CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, AND OTHER GROUPS DISTRIBUTE EMPTY BABY BOTTLES TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. THE BOTTLES ARE FILLED WITH CHANGE AND THE PROCEEDS SUPPORT OUR DIRECT ASSISTANCE FUND ALL YEAR LONG. WE PROVIDE BABY ITEMS AND FREE PACK N PLAYS THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM TO ANY FAMILY IN NEED SO THAT THEIR BABY HAS A SAFE PLACE TO SLEEP. OUR SOCIAL WORKERS ARE CERTIFIED CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY TECHNICIANS AND WE PROVIDE EDUCATION AND SAFETY CHECKS WITH EVERY INFANT CAR SEAT PROVIDED.

A NURTURING HEALTHY FAMILIES PARENTING GROUP IS OFFERED VIRTUALLY ON A MONTHLY BASIS TO HELP PARENTS GAIN SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE IN RAISING THEIR CHILDREN. SINCE 2006, CATHOLIC CHARITIES HAS BEEN THE RECIPIENT OF A POSITIVE ALTERNATIVES GRANT THROUGH THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. OUR PROGRAM SERVICES CLEARLY SUPPORT THE GOALS OF THE GRANT WHICH ARE TO ENCOURAGE AND ASSIST WOMEN IN CARRYING THEIR PREGNANCIES TO TERM, IN CARING FOR THEIR BABIES AFTER BIRTH, AND TO PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION ON, REFERRAL TO, AND ASSISTANCE WITH SECURING NECESSARY SERVICES. DURING THIS REPORTING CYCLE, 326 NEW AND EXPECTANT PARENTS RECEIVED PREGNANCY, PARENTING AND ADOPTION SERVICES. HERE ARE QUOTES FROM PARENTS WHO RECEIVED SERVICES FROM OUR PROGRAM: "THIS GRANT WILL GIVE ME TIME TO GET THINGS IN ORDER AND SEARCH FOR A JOB. I KNOW I'LL HAVE SOMEWHERE SAFE TO GO AND THAT MY BABY WILL BE SAFE, TOO." "RECEIVING THIS [FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE] WILL IMPROVE MY FAMILY'S SITUATION IMMENSELY. WE WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD AND PAY RENT ON TIME. AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE, MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER AND I ARE TRULY HARD WORKING JUST WENT THROUGH A ROUGH FEW MONTHS." ONWARD AND UPWARD CATHOLIC CHARITIES' ONWARD AND UPWARD PROGRAM SUPPORTS LOW INCOME SINGLE PARENTS AS THEY PURSUE A DEGREE IN THE HEALTHCARE FIELD. THERE ARE THREE COMPONENTS TO THE ONWARD AND UPWARD PROGRAM: MENTORING, SCHOLARSHIPS, AND EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.

THESE TWICE-MONTHLY MEETINGS ARE BASED ON THE NEEDS OF EACH STUDENT, BUT COVER TOPICS SUCH AS RESOURCES, GOAL SETTING, BUDGETING, TIME MANA

FORM 990 PART III LINE 4D ON BEHALF OF CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING IN PARISHES, SCHOOLS, AND LOCAL AGENCIES. "THE CHURCH CANNOT NEGLECT THE SERVICE OF CHARITY ANY MORE THAN SHE CAN NEGLECT THE SACRAMENTS AND THE WORD . . . THE CHURCH'S DEEPEST NATURE IS EXPRESSED IN HER THREE-FOLD RESPONSIBILITY: OF PROCLAIMING THE WORD OF GOD, CELEBRATING THE SACRAMENTS, AND EXERCISING THE MINISTRY OF CHARITY. THESE DUTIES PRESUPPOSE EACH OTHER AND ARE INSEPARABLE" (GOD IS LOVE - POPE BENEDICT XVI). THESE WORDS FROM POPE BENEDICT TELL OF THE NEED TO PUT OUR FAITH INTO ACTION, AND THIS IS THE PRIMARY WORK OF THE PSM PROGRAM. THE PSM PROGRAM THIS PAST YEAR WAS COMPRISED OF A TEAM OF TWO, WHICH INCLUDED THE DIRECTOR OF PSM AND A REGIONAL PSM COORDINATOR IN THE WORTHINGTON DEANERY. THE DIOCESAN SOCIAL CONCERNS COMMITTEE, ESTABLISHED IN 2013, HELPS PLOT THE DIRECTION OF THE WORK OF PSM. THERE ARE CURRENTLY SEVEN MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE, WHICH INCLUDES THE PSM TEAM. IN KEEPING WITH THE GOAL OF PROMOTING AWARENESS, THE PSM TEAM WORKS TO ESTABLISH, ENCOURAGE, AND GUIDE PARISH SOCIAL CONCERNS COMMITTEES, AND DEANERY SOCIAL CONCERNS ROUNDTABLES. THESE GROUPS FUNCTION LIKE THE DIOCESAN SOCIAL CONCERNS COMMITTEE BY IDENTIFYING LOCAL NEEDS AND HELPING TO PLAN OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATION, PRAYER, AND ACTION. THESE GROUPS ALSO SERVE AS FAITH SHARING COMMUNITIES WHERE MEMBERS CAN SHARE INSIGHTS AND RESOURCES, DREAMS AND FRUSTRATIONS, THEREBY ENCOURAGING AND BUILDING ONE ANOTHER UP IN THE WORK FOR JUSTICE. THERE ARE 9 ACTIVE PARISH SOCIAL CONCERNS COMMITTEES AND 1 ACTIVE DEANERY SOCIAL CONCERNS ROUNDTABLE. IN ITS EFFORT TO EDUCATE ABOUT CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING, THE PSM TEAM CONDUCTS SOCIAL CONCERNS STUDY DAYS AND FACILITATES BIBLE STUDIES ON VARIOUS TOPICS OF CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING. IN THE LAST YEAR, THE PSM TEAM CONDUCTED TWO STUDY DAYS WITH A TOTAL OF 76 REGISTRANTS AND FOUR BIBLE STUDIES WITH A TOTAL OF 30 PARTICIPANTS. THE WORTHINGTON DEANERY COORDINATOR ALSO PLANNED A RETREAT FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS ON LIVING LIVES OF SERVICE. MOST OF THE PARISHES IN THE DEANERY SENT YOUTH AND ADULT LEADERS. A TOTAL OF 163 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED. IN ORDER TO PROMOTE ACTION ON BEHALF OF CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING, THE PSM TEAM FACILITATES ADVOCACY MEETINGS BETWEEN LEGISLATORS AND CONSTITUENTS ON ISSUES OF CONCERN. THIS YEAR, AS PART OF THE JOINT RELIGIOUS LEGISLATIVE COALITION'S "DAY ON THE HILL," THE PSM TEAM HELPED TO COORDINATE FIVE VISITS WITH STATE LEGISLATORS. THERE WERE 13 INDIVIDUALS THAT MADE 24 VISITS WITH LEGISLATORS BETWEEN THE FIVE MEETINGS. AS OF JULY OF 2022, THE CATHOLIC ACCOMPANIMENT AND REFLECTION EXPERIENCE (CARE) PROGRAM WAS APPROVED AS A NEW PROGRAM UNDER THE PARISH SOCIAL MINISTRY PROGRAMMING. THE PURPOSE OF THE CARE PROGRAM IS TO ACCOMPANY AND WELCOME IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES WITHIN CATHOLIC CHARITIES OF SOUTHERN MINNESOTA'S SERVICE AREA. INITIALLY, THIS PROGRAM WILL BE SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION FOR, AND PASTORALLY ACCOMPANYING IMMIGRANTS IN THE WORTHINGTON, MN AREA TO IMMIGRATION COURT APPOINTMENTS AND IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT CHECK-INS. DISASTER RECOVERY ALSO FALLS UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF PSM. THE PSM TEAM IS MAKING EFFORTS TO BECOME TRAINED IN DISASTER RECOVERY, THROUGH THE APPLIED INSTITUTE FOR DISASTER EXCELLENCE (AIDE) PROGRAM RUN BY CATHOLIC CHARITIES USA. THE DIRECTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE DISBURSEMENT OF LOCAL FUNDS FOR CRS RICE BOWL, AND THE CATHOLIC CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT (CCHD). THE RICE BOWL FUNDS GO TO HELP INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN'T PAY UTILITIES AND OTHER RELATED FINANCIAL ISSUES. THE CCHD FUNDS MAKE UP THE LOCAL "WORKS OF JUSTICE" FUND. THESE FUNDS ARE DISTRIBUTED IN THE FORM OF MICRO-GRANTS TO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS WHO WORK TO COMBAT THE ROOT CAUSES OF POVERTY.
