A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO Are you hungry, are you cold, are you tired, are you sick? Do you need clothing? A place to sleep? Are you pregnant and need help? Those are the questions asked by Catholic Charities in the Archdiocese of Denver, which serves those with a need to give and a need to receive. By the start of 2015, the logo of Catholic Charities incorporated the image of Our Lord on the cross. Why? It is the most charitable symbol in the world, because the ultimate charitable act is to give yourself completely for others, as Jesus Christ did. That is our mission at Catholic Charities, to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ to the poor and those in need. Our mission is made possible with your help. Thanks to you Catholic Charities served more than 77,000 individuals last year through all our programs. Our areas of focus include Shelter Services, Women’s Services, Family & Child Care Services, Emergency Services, Victim’s Assistance, Immigration and Community Integration Services. There is much more to come. I invite you to review this financial report — and also to visit our facilities, to meet our staff and volunteers, and particularly, to meet those whom we have the privilege to serve.
God Bless,
Larry Smith President and CEO of Catholic Charities
