REPORT OF THE CHILDREN'S RELIEF FUND
ARCHDIOCESE CONVENTION CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
V. Rev. George M. Rados, National Dimtor, July 201 1
Beloved Hierarchs, Reverend Brothers, Esteemed Board Members, and Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I greet you in the name of our beloved Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
The Children's Relief Fund is only one of the many charities to which our Archdiocese addresses itself. It is unique, however, in so far as it is a personal relationship between sponsor and sponsored.
Since its inception in 1983, the Children's Relief Fund has distributed more than $2.4 million dollars in scholarships to needy elementary and high school children in Lebanon. In 201 0, your donations have supplied $130,500 to 322 needy students in Lebanon and 65 in Palestine.
For those of you who are already sponsoring one child or more, we offer our most profound thanks and gratitude, and we ask for your continued support. We encourage all the f a i W in the Archdiocese to support this humanitarian effort.
Once again, I would like to recommend that every church in this Archdiocese support at least one child. It is my hope that all of our clergy encourage greater participation in this most worthy cause. In 1989,167 church related organizations sponsored 195. In 20 10,79 church organizations supported 96 only.
Once again, I would like to thank everyone whose gifts and prayers have made CRF what it is today.
RespectfuUy submitted,
Fr. George M. Rados
