2019 Annual Report

Celebrating FIFTY YEARS

ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019

President’s Message AS CATHOLIC THEOLOGICAL UNION CELEBRATED THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FOUNDING, it seems appropriate, in a spirit of gratitude, to reflect on the achievements of the past, celebrate our present, as well as the exciting opportunities ahead of us.

At the October gathering, we commemorated the 50 th anniversary of CTU’s founding when in 1968 the three religious communities that founded CTU took the risk of beginning something new. They pooled their resources and came together in the Hyde Park university neighborhood to do together something they could never do separately—build a school of theology that would serve the future of the Church in a unique way. Planted in the heart of the city. Welcoming into its classroom lay women and men, as well as seminarians and religious. Opening its students to ecumenical and inter-religious dialogue. In short, preparing its students for a global church.

In celebration of our mission and to mark our 50 th anniversary, CTU has embarked on a capital campaign called Forward in Faith. The CTU family is coming together to help move CTU forward in service to the Church and the world.

Rev. Mark R. Francis, CSV

The campaign has a goal of $16 million. Half of this goal is dedicated to provide scholarships for outstanding students who have the qualities to serve the church with integrity. The remaining goals are to maintain and develop our superb faculty—one of the hallmarks of CTU—and to equip the institution with emerging technology that will advance CTU’s critically important mission throughout the country and the world.

annual report 2018–2019

Lay students and seminarians, choosing a vocation of ministry, are not blind to the challenges facing the Church. They are painfully aware that the “fresh air” that Pope John XXIII promised would blow through the window opened by the Second Vatican Council has not penetrated all parts of the Church. Most of our students recognize that the Church as an institution must still struggle with the sexual abuse crisis, financial scandals, racism and the second-place status of women in ministry. They also recognize that our present culture is often hostile to the life-giving values proclaimed in the Gospel that causes many to disdain a life of religious service. These students are making a courageous choice to serve Christ and the Church in the face of these challenges—a choice that could only be the result of the presence of the Spirit that has called them to a life of ministry. Aware of this context, CTU prepares its students to effectively proclaim Christ’s message of freedom, reconciliation and love.

In the pages that follow, we share two perspectives on the need for “comprehensive” support for CTU—annual support to sustain us, and capital support to help us grow.

Ultricies etiam erat semper nullam diam et magna donec, torquent iaculis enim elementum suspendisse leo molestie tempus, ipsum adipiscing nisl amet habitant porttitor in lectus rhoncus. Et magna donec, torquent era iaculis enim elementum suspendisse.

Fr. Rosendo Urrabazo of the Claretian Missionaries values CTU from the vantage point of provincial of one of CTU’s Corporation communities, electing to invest in CTU over other possible ministries. Fr. Rosendo sees the community of CTU as one well positioned to listen and think critically about the issues facing the Catholic Church in the 21st Century.

We are committed in these next 50 years to continue the legacy of the religious priests and brothers, religious women and lay people who have prepared for a life of ministry at CTU and boldly proclaimed the Good News of Jesus Christ— even at the cost of their lives.

We are pleased to tell you that because of the generosity of CTU’s sponsoring religious communities and its many lay friends who have already had an opportunity to support the campaign effort, over $13 million has been pledged towards our goal. What makes this generosity all the more extraordinary is that the commitments to this campaign have been made above and beyond the annual support our donors have provided each year to sustain CTU’s operations.

Thank you for your support of our mission.

Sincerely,

Rev. Mark R. Francis, CSV President

For Trustee, Mary Margaret Cowhey, CTU is a haven—a place where people are working at making the world better and understanding each other better. She has expressed this admiration in not only serving on the Board of Trustees, but also supporting CTU in myriad financial ways—especially scholarships for lay students.

From the Chair HEADWINDS FACING THE CHURCH HAVE BEEN STEADY.

annual report 2018–2019

Pope Francis has evoked a wind of change into the global church. One example is his leadership of the Amazon Synod, opening up possibilities of new ways to allow more local leadership, and more room for lay ministry. Not the least of which was a special acknowledgement and appreciation for the role of women in the Church.

04

Rev. Kurt F. Hartrich, OFM

During the last fiscal year, a longtime friend of CTU sat down to make a significant commitment to the Forward in Faith capital campaign. He recounted to us later that while writing the check on behalf of his family, he paused for a moment, troubled by the challenges facing the Church right now. Should he make this gift? Then he reflected on the good that CTU has represented over the decades, and its uniquely effective ability to prepare men and women of faith to take on leadership roles in ministry. He could affirm that CTU is part of the solution for the Church. With great confidence, he completed the task of re-investing in CTU.

Still, CTU has the enviable position of a strong balance sheet. Looking to the horizon of the next fifty years, the promise of CTU’s long-term financial investments is strong. The success of the Forward in Faith campaign will augment the long-term ability to provide needed scholarships for lay students to pursue leadership roles in ministry.

That CTU is part of the solution has never been more true. Lay and religious graduates of CTU are playing integral parts in ministries and organizations around the world. The faculty are invaluable resources for the Church at large, and CTU is investing in effective ways to expand its reach through online programs and education.

We are committed to creative approaches to recruitment strategies; to streamlining internal operations; and to innovating educational programs. We are an agile organization—able to be responsive to the needs of the Church and Society as well as opportunities presented through new programs and online technology.

At CTU, the necessary components are all in place, and the model is tested.

I am grateful to our excellent Board of Trustees for their commitment to CTU and their critical guidance navigating these waters. Through an extraordinary response to the Forward in Faith campaign, and their ongoing annual support, they are committed to positioning CTU for the future, and working with CTU faculty and staff in addressing all headwinds that come our way.

Yet this special place has not been immune to the Church’s negative headwinds. Vocations—whether to religious life or to lay ministry—take great courage and great sacrifice. Enrollment in 2018-19 was lower than the previous year, so tuition income did not meet budget expectations. Annual gifts and grants revenue was strong, outperforming budget expectations.

Investment performance exceeded our budget, but fell below industry benchmarks. Ultimately, the drop in enrollment combined with unanticipated costs resulted in a net deficit.

Sincerely,

Rev. Kurt Hartrich, OFM Chairman

After his graduation from CTU in 1977, fr. salvatore carzedda, pime was assigned to the Philippines.

He worked with a non-governmental organization dedicated to building interreligious dialogue between Christians and Muslims in Zamboanga City, a commitment that involved risk because of the acute tensions in the region. Shot on his way home from a meeting, Salvatore paid for his commitment with his life.

Comboni Missionary fr. john ssenyondo, mccj, a native of Uganda, ministered to the persecuted indigenous peoples in the Diocese of Chilpancingo-Chilapa, Mexico.

In April 2014 he was kidnapped by armed men as he returned home from celebrating a wedding; his remains were later discovered in a mass grave.

Icons commissioned and written for each of the CTU martyrs were blessed at the 50th Anniversary mass and now hang prominently in a tableau on the first floor of the Denny Center. All who pass are reminded of the sacrifices of our lay and ordained ministers who work together in service to the Church and the world.

ATHOLIC THEOLOGICAL UNION had the unique opportunity during its 2018-19 golden anniversary year to look back and give thanks for all that has been built and accomplished in its fifty-year history. In October, hundreds of alumni, friends and supporters gathered for a multi-media presentation on the Founding of CTU. This event featured representatives from the three founding orders and current faculty and was narrated by Carol Marin, accomplished journalist and dear friend of CTU. In May, the CTU community came together again to celebrate a mass of thanksgiving for fifty years of life and mission at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church, with Cardinal Blase J. Cupich presiding. Following the anniversary mass, the academic center on the CTU campus was dedicated as “The James and Catherine Denny Center at Catholic Theological Union.”

This naming was CTU’s tangible expression of gratitude for the Denny Family’s decades of philanthropic support and vision.

During a CTU sponsored visit to Jerusalem in 1999, the dennys recognized how important the relationship of Christians and Muslims would be for the future of humanity.

They helped establish an Islamic studies program at CTU which today is a significant influence in the work of interreligious peace and justice making. For many years, the Dennys have guided and participated in the life of the school, chairing the school’s signature annual Blessed are the Peacemakers Trustee Dinner on various occasions, and Jim serving as a longtime Trustee.

Their late daughter Kate, in whose memory the building was named, served on the advisory board of the Peacebuilders Initiative at CTU, a leadership program for Catholic high school students.

Our anniversary was also the yearlong occasion to honor fifty of our most inspiring alumni/ae, sharing the vital and inspirational work that has been accomplished across the globe. Countless alumni embody CTU’s vision to be a transformative force in the Church and world, yet these fifty illuminate the school’s mission in a special way. Ordained and lay, they have given witness the Good News of Christ in the United States and internationally.

Comboni Missionary fr. ezechiele ramin was martyred in Brazil in 1985 for standing up for the rights of landless farmers. He was proposed as a special patron saint for the upcoming synod on the Amazon celebrated in Rome this past October.

GRATITUDE for our Past

Three alumni in particular paid the ultimate price for their vocation as CTU martyrs.

JOY for our Present

I

N EVANGELII GAUDIUM, OR THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL, Pope Francis writes, “Joy adapts and changes, but it always endures, even as a flicker of light born of our personal certainty that, when everything is said and done, we are infinitely loved.”

At a time when the Church’s light may be indeed flickering, we at CTU seek to “let the joy of faith slowly revive as a quiet yet firm trust, even amid the greatest distress.”

CTU’S CURRENT BODY OF STUDENTS MAY BE THE GREATEST SOURCE OF THAT JOY. WITH THE CRISIS OF CREDIBILITY IN THE CHURCH AND OFTEN SEEMINGLY INSURMOUNTABLE ECONOMIC OBSTACLES FOR GRADUATE FORMATION, IT IS IN THEIR INSPIRING PURSUIT OF THE VOCATION OF CHRISTIAN MINISTRY WHERE OUR FACULTY, STAFF, ALUMNI, AND SUPPORTERS FIND THE “FLICKER OF LIGHT” POPE FRANCIS DESCRIBES.

The CTU community also looks beyond its walls for inspiration in our current time. This year’s 28th annual Trustee Dinner took for its theme the beautiful and challenging words of Jesus’ beatitude, “Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” As it once honored Nelson’s hero Jean Vanier, CTU bestowed its 2019 Blessed are the Peacemakers award on Sr. Helen Prejean, a Sister of the Congregation of St. Joseph, who has worked for over 30 years to spark meaningful and necessary dialogue about the abolition of the death penalty. In addition to organizing execution vigils and marches to draw attention to the issue, Sr. Helen founded a support group for victims’ family members, and eventually wrote the book, Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States.

annual report 2018–2019

During that same event, Rev. John J. Wall received CTU’s 2019 Diakonia award, as an exceptional model of “pastor” to the Church here in Chicago and across the country. His leadership in the Archdiocese and with Catholic Extension has been a gift to Catholics everywhere, and there are few priests in the nation who have made such a breadth and depth of impact on the worldwide Church.

06

The event once again provided close to $500,000, or over half of its Annual Fund goal, to significantly expand its reach and sustain CTU’s preeminent theological educational experience for lay and religious students.

MDiv student nelson sinchi represents countless lay students making the countercultural choice to pursue ministry, In a reflection of gratitude given at a recent gathering of donors, Nelson promised, “I won’t let you down.”

Nelson first discovered his love for ministry after spending five years living in a L’Arche Community. The L’Arche community was founded in 1964 by Jean Vanier, who was the recipient of CTU’s Blessed are the Peacemakers award in 2006. It established intentional communities for individuals—with and without intellectual disabilities—to live, work, pray, and play together. Nelson says, “Vanier’s vision of a world rooted in authentic listening inspired my journey to pursue a degree from CTU. This has been a transformative space where I have been able to discover and learn what it means to be an authentic listener to those I encounter in my ministry and the world.”

Signs of hope permeate CTU’s hallways, classrooms and social media channels. The institution looks ahead with a capital campaign (read about Forward in Faith on page 12), endowing permanent scholarships for qualified lay students, providing for technological innovation and expanded programming, and investing in our greatest asset—our Faculty.

At the end of June 2019, CTU received approval from its accrediting body, the Association of Theological Schools, to expand its online Master of Arts curricula for the 2020-21 school year. Online graduate degrees which are equal in weight and distinction to CTU’s campusbased degrees can now be attained in the following subjects: Justice Ministry, Liturgical Ministry, and Pastoral Studies, in addition to Hispanic Theology and Ministry, which was already fully online. This is one example of the foundation being set to provide access to an unparalleled graduate theological formation.

intended to bring the Principles of Dialogue and Common Ground methodology into a visible relationship with the polarization and divisions in today’s church.

Many strides forward marked CTU’s 50th anniversary year of 201819. Faculty and staff efforts resulted in increased accessibility to programs through technology and curricular development and increased accessibility to degree programs through investment in critical scholarships.

HOPE for our Future

T

HE PAST YEAR’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS are a strong indicator that CTU will be a vital part of the solution to current and future crises in the Church. With an unchanging mission to provide an ideal environment for the preparation and formation of ministers, ordained and lay together, in an atmosphere of integrity, honor and mutual respect, CTU boldly claims to be the model of pastoral and ministerial preparations that the Church needs.

During the 2018-19 fiscal year, CTU received an extraordinary bequest for the work of the Catholic Common Ground Initiative within the Bernardin Center. A half a million dollar gift from the Estate of Marilyn P. and Thomas J. Donnelly, will provide annual funding for the now re-named Marilyn P. and Thomas J. Donnelly-Cardinal Joseph Bernardin Conference—a reimagined type of programming

Investing in our Seminary

“

The cry in the Church today has been for some time one of dialogue.

There is a longing for dialogue among the different elements of the Church, its various stakeholders—laity, clergy, hierarchy. CTU is a place where these groups can meet and have an intelligent conversation.

The atmosphere at CTU creates opportunities to listen intelligently to one another. To listen, especially to voices that sometimes do not get heard.

In our experience, CTU is also a perfect place for exploring new ideas—ideas that may be way beyond the official teachings of the Church at this time, but that need to be explored. That is how we got the Second Vatican Council, right? Somebody was thinking back in the ‘4 0s and ‘50s about new ideas.

Listening for and thinking about what was emerging for the Church in that century. The community at CTU is well-positioned to do that listening and thinking in the 21st century. Moreover, to best respond to what is emerging, CTU offers a balance between the doctrine of the Church as it is today and as we need to teach it, but also those ideas that stimulate the mind and explore what still needs to be studied and discussed.

Our community, the Claretian Missionaries, have been partners with CTU for many years. We are not one of the founding groups, but we came on right afterward because we believe in the ideal and the direction that CTU is going. We help CTU in a variety of ways. We contribute to the annual fund, we contribute to the Oscar Romero Scholarship Fund, and we have made a donation to the current capital campaign. We also allow some of our men to teach at CTU—this is another contribution.

annual report 2018–2019

This comprehensive support is a sacrifice. It is money and resources that could have gone to some other projects that we have in the congregation.

Nevertheless, we believe that the mission of CTU is something fundamental, and it is to our benefit.

08

One of the things I value about CTU is the flexibility of its education programs.

As needs emerge in our religious order for the formation of our students, spiritually and academically, we know we can dialogue with CTU staff to address those needs. For example, our students need to be able to preach in English and Spanish. Over time CTU has been able to offer a certificate program for preaching in Spanish. This program is vital for our future ministry here in the United States and other places in the Spanish-speaking world.

Rev. Rosendo Urrabazo, CMF Rev. Rosendo Urrabazo, CMF, Provincial of the Claretian Missionaries, is one of Catholic Theological Union’s Corporation members. His order sends their seminarians to CTU for their Masters of Divinity, and two members of the Claretians currently serve on the faculty at CTU: Rev. Eddie DeLeon, CMF, and Rev. Ferdinand Okorie, CMF. The Claretians share with CTU a commitment to making space for under-represented ethnicities.

Father Urrabazo reflects here on the need to support an institution of learning and formation like CTU comprehensively.

The Claretian Missionaries make generous commitments to the annual fund and sponsor scholarship events to sustain the programs of CTU. They also recognize that over and above this giving, the order’s contribution to the capital campaign priorities will allow CTU to grow.

Because of the relationship we have with CTU, we can express our needs and get a flexible response that will address our concerns.

The number one priority at CTU is and has always been its teachers. The most significant investment should always be in those who have dedicated themselves to scholarship and the formation of young minds for ministry. The Claretians invest comprehensively in CTU because we know there is no price tag on a great teacher’s passion and commitment to share their knowledge and skill with others.

CTU must keep up with the emerging social technologies for teaching and especially for scholarly research.

We understand the kind of expense this means for an institution like CTU. The Forward in Faith campaign is addressing that need.

CTU must keep up with the emerging social technologies for teaching and especially for scholarly research. We understand the kind of expense this means for an institution like CTU. The Forward in Faith campaign is addressing that need.

Ultimately, our students need preparation to be part of an apostolic missionary community where their focus is not on a particular diocese, but on the Universal Church. We want that focus on Claretian theological education, and we feel that CTU provides the possibility for that kind of dialogue in theology to take place. We invest in this institution because we know that it benefits the whole Church.”

Investment is also needed, of course, to help get students in the seats of those classrooms. That is where scholarships come in. It is very appropriate that we spend money on the formation of Claretian seminarians, of course.

Nevertheless, CTU is not only made up of students from religious orders, but also from the laity, and we feel an obligation to invest in laypeople who do not have that kind of resources that a religious order provides its members.

Lay people are the main collaborators in all our ministries, and the Church needs them to have the best preparation possible. We do our small part in investing in the annual scholarships, the unrestricted annual fund, and the current campaign for teaching and technology. We also support special-focus scholarships so that CTU can provide quality theological formation for the lay collaborators who are so desperately needed in the Church today.

An Inspired Commitment to CTU

Why do I give to CTU? Because CTU is different and makes a difference in the world. Every day the nightly news presents so many problems, disagreements, and conflicts. In contrast, at CTU, people actively work at making the world better, at understanding each other better.

So many conflicts are rooted in ignorance of the other person’s situation.

At CTU, there is a concerted effort to make sure that no one is ignorant of another’s beliefs, to appreciate those differences, and to find commonalities among them. That’s something you don’t see on the evening news report. To me, CTU’s efforts are something I feel compelled to support.

This year I’m giving a bigger piece of the pie than I’ve given in the past. In the past, I made commitments at a level that were more affordable. Now I’ve made a commitment to the new capital campaign at a level that is more of a sacrifice. At a very basic level, being devoted to Catholic Theological Union has meant that I’ve had to sacrifice something in my own life. To provide for CTU out of income and not out of wealth, which is my own personal situation, I have to make choices. That sense of sacrifice and the careful analysis of where to allocate funds shapes my life both on a daily basis and in terms of the full trajectory of my life. Those choices are formative.

Scholarships for students, especially lay students, are vitally important.

Simply put, careers in ministry do not pay well. Students can’t afford to take on large amounts of debt. This capital campaign is greatly increasing scholarship funding, which in turn should boost our enrollment, especially the enrollment of lay students.

Since my first meeting with Fr. Don Senior twenty five years ago, I was inspired to make annual gifts. Annual giving keeps CTU functioning. Capital campaigns help CTU accomplish more. When each capital campaign came along, I learned about the projects being proposed, and decided to make contributions over and above my annual support.

One of the best things about this particular capital campaign is its focus on scholarship funding. It’s not seeking to provide bricks and mortar. The last capital campaign provided us with a beautiful building. This campaign focuses on faculty and students.

Scholarships for students, especially lay students, are vitally important. Simply put, careers in ministry do not pay well. Students can’t afford to take on large amounts of debt. This capital campaign is greatly increasing scholarship funding, which in turn should boost our enrollment, especially the enrollment of lay students. It is a very laudable goal of the capital campaign. Personally, I find it more rewarding to provide for students directly.

Through her decades of leadership on the Board of Trustees and the Peacebuilders Advisory Board, and through her participation in the Enrollment Committee at a critical time for the Church and for CTU, Mary Margaret has played a crucial role in the growth of CTU’s mission and reach.

As a businessperson, Mary Margaret fully understands CTU’s need for a strong financial foundation. Here, she reflects on the reciprocal value she has experienced in supporting CTU with a comprehensive approach: committed annual fund donations, planned estate giving through The Way Society, and a one-time contribution to the Forward in Faith Campaign.

When I visit this campus, things slow down. There is always warmth, focus, and peace. Always, I leave Catholic Theological feeling better than when I walked in the door.

Life becomes so busy with commitments, whether they’re work, family or anything else. When I visit this campus, things slow down. There is always warmth, focus, and peace.

With the two capital campaigns I’ve been involved with over the last ten years, I’ve made larger commitments each time. Still, I hope that my greatest gift will be given after I’m gone. I’ve committed to ensuring CTU’s sustainability as a member of The Way Society by naming CTU as a beneficiary of my estate. It’s very satisfying to I know I can continue to help CTU do good works when I’m no longer here to make annual decisions. And, being a member of The Way Society it is satisfying to know that if I can make right choices and be frugal enough, there will be gifts now and hopefully a substantial gift when I’m gone.

The campaign was launched on the occasion of CTU’s 50 th anniversary, reimagining what theological study and a seminary education can offer men and women—religious and laity—while building on a half century of success.

From I believe in CTU. I see the Divine Word (SVD) deacons at our parish, I see the people we’re educating and they’re remarkable. THIS CAMPAIGN EMBRACES A VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF THE CHURCH AND OUR WORLD, and I hope you will join me in investing in moving our faith forward.

With the campaign’s 2022 target end date in sight, momentum behind Forward in Faith remains strong.

Two and a half years after its launch in January 2018, the campaign has reached a milestone moment—surpassing the $13 million mark for stated funding priorities with support coming from religious order Corporation members, as well as individual lay donors. As of June 30, 2019, the campaign has raised $13.09 or 82% to goal of $16 million, restricted for scholarships, faculty and technological innovation and programming. The success of the campaign is a remarkable achievement in light of also realizing the institution’s ongoing goal of raising approximately $2 million each year for annual support.

These are among the many ways the comprehensive campaign will make a transformative impact on the Catholic Theological Union community.

Transformative Gift to Enhance Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim Relations Program In June 2018, CTU announced a three-year, $652,000 commitment from a family of Muslim philanthropists to CTU’s Catholic-Muslim Studies Program. The purpose of the gift is to advance CTU’s signature interreligious dialogue efforts by expanding programming in Christian-Muslim understanding, mutual esteem, and cooperation for justice. Among the key initiatives funded by this generous gift will be the appointment of an additional Muslim faculty member with expertise in Islamic and intercultural studies, as well as new full-tuition scholarships for Muslim students seeking either masters- or doctoral- level degrees in interreligious dialogue or related fields.

John E. Linnan, CSV, Theology and Ministry Endowed Scholarship In honor of the former president of Catholic Theological Union, the Viatorian community has established the John E. Linnan, CSV, Theology and Ministry Endowed Scholarship. The $1 million scholarship endowment fund will provide funds for graduate theological education to those inspired by and drawn to the vision of the Clerics of St. Viator. The full-tuition scholarships will be made available to premier students who are committed to preparing for ministry and leadership in service to the church with the ecclesial vision of Vatican II and Pope Francis.

Donald Senior, CP, Endowed Scholarship Other endowed scholarships which provide permanent financial support include the Donald Senior, CP Endowed Scholarship. Recipients of this scholarship will be exceptional lay men and women: committed to a full-time career in ministry, possessing leadership qualities, and exhibiting a capacity for both knowledge of the Church’s theology and the pastoral skill to communicate it. The campaign will continue to focus on endowed scholarships as a top priority to ensure that financial aid at CTU is sustainable for generations to come of theology and ministry students. $7.9 million in recent gifts has been pledged to CTU by generous donors who have committed to supporting CTU’s strategic priorities allowing CTU to plan where the gift will be directed.

Annual Giving Over the last two fiscal years, $4.03 million has been raised toward the anniversary campaign’s $10 million Annual Giving goal. These include both unrestricted and restricted funds that ensure CTU provides strong continuous support for teaching and scholarship, financial aid, as well as ongoing operations of the institution.

CONTINUING THE MOMENTUM the five-year campaign approaches the halfway mark to its 2022 end date, the outstanding energy and support from the extended CTU community that has enabled the success of Forward in Faith continues to build., said Colleen Kennedy, vice president for institutional advancement.

As

“We are at a point where we’re seeing tremendous momentum,” Kennedy said. “Support for endowed professorships, scholarships and technological investment will allow CTU to expand access to our programs. Consistent giving to the CTU’s Annual Fund will enable us to sustain our operations while we innovate. Thanks to the generosity of our Board, Corporate members, alumni and friends, we have reached this milestone and moved one step closer to our $16 million goal.”

As CTU’s president, Rev. Mark R. Francis looks ahead toward the campaign’s second half, he reflects that the generosity of CTU’s donors is not only impacting the institution in transformational ways, but also securing CTU’s ability to make a positive impact in the Church, at a time of great need.

“Ultimately, the success of Forward in Faith will not be defined solely by the investments the campaign brings to our campus in Hyde Park,” Francis said. “We will fulfill the promise of this campaign when our community succeeds in turning these investments into new ministers and new programs that benefit the Church and the world well beyond CTU.”

Expanding the Crown-Ryan Chair in Jewish Studies CTU was one of the first Catholic schools of theology in the world to include a program in Jewish studies as an essential part of its training of future priests and ministers. At the heart of the program is the Crown-Ryan Chair in Jewish Studies, established almost two decades ago on Holocaust Remembrance Day in 2001 by the prominent Chicago families of Lester and Renée Crown and Patrick and Shirley J. Ryan. The collaboration of these two families, one Jewish and the other Catholic, embodies the spirit of CTU’s program. As part of CTU’s “Forward in Faith” capital campaign, the Crown and Ryan families “doubled-down” on their original investment, expanding the Chair to a full-time role at CTU and helping to support its expanding programs.

THE CHURCH NEEDS GENUINE MINISTERS of the gospel in order to carry out its God given mission.

When well-formed religious and lay ministers can inspire, speak and effectively address the world’s needs for reconciliation, peacemaking, and transcending boundaries, Christ’s body the Church is strengthened and its future made bright.

14

As with many Roman Catholic seminaries, CTU’s religious order candidates are decreasing because fewer men are considering religious life.

A growing majority of today’s ministers are lay men and women, and women religious, who must seek their own funding for their training. As Lay Ministers take on increasing responsibilities in the Church, investing in endowed scholarships will provide CTU with enhanced ability to attract and retain the very best candidates locally, nationally and internationally, fortifying faith communities all over the world with missionary disciples.

CTU’s committed faculty serves the Church by educating future leaders—in the best of Catholic theology, pastoral ministry and formation for service as disciples of Jesus in a world in need of healing and reconciliation. An investment in faculty will allow CTU’s tradition of academic leadership to flourish, and ensures the development of the next generation of inspirational and mission-driven faculty.

innovation , technology and programming CALLED TO PUT ITS THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION MODEL AND PROGRAMMING into greater service to the Church, CTU must have the capacity to leverage rapidly emerging technological advances to enhance classroom and online engagement, and to expand the reach of our program offerings.

As an institution of learning formed in the crucible of Vatican II, CTU has always embraced innovation.

Today, CTU seeks to heed Pope Francis’ call to “go to the margins”—to serve the Church and its people beyond our campus. This anniversary campaign is therefore committed to funding technology that will allow us to do that.

A Challenge for CTU’s Future: Join The Way Society Looking out into the next fifty years and beyond, CTU is embracing this moment to build membership in The Way Society, our community of donors who have named CTU in their wills or other estate plans. The “Way” refers to the first name given the Church in the Acts of the Apostles and signifies the generous pooling of resources that sustained the first followers of Jesus.

We are seeking to add 50 new society members in this anniversary moment to secure in perpetuity support for CTU’s strategic priorities and ongoing operations.

If you have already included CTU in your estate plan, please let us know so we can recognize your legacy of generosity. If you would like to join The Way Society with this very personal form of support, contact:

The Development Department has made a sincere effort to ensure information contained in the annual report is accurate and complete. If you were a contributor to CTU between July 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019, and your name has been omitted, misspelled or is listed incorrectly, please advise us by calling 773.371.5417.
