“The task of evangelizing all people constitutes the

essential mission of the Church, a duty and a mission

which the widespread and profound changes in

present-day society render ever more urgent. At

stake is the eternal salvation of persons, the goal and

the fulfillment of human history and the universe.”

- Pope Benedict XVI

Dear Friends in Christ,I had just finished a presentation about our work with college students at a local parish. The floor was open for questions, and one of the ladies present stood up and said, “Twenty years ago you mentored my son when he was a young man. I have no idea where he would be today if you had not taken the time to teach him to pray and live as a Catholic man. He is now married to a wonderful Catholic woman, and has six beautiful children that they are raising in the faith. Thank you for all that you are doing for our young people.”

After getting married, in the early days of SPO, my wife and I decided to invite young men to live with us and embrace our pattern of Catholic family life: a sort of post-college SPO Household. This woman’s son was one of those men.

The most enjoyable part of my job has always been helping young men to discover or redis-cover their faith and mature into responsible, committed men of God. As our organiza-tion has grown and my responsibilities have evolved, I have been doing less of this directly, but it is at the very heart of what SPO is about.

The advanced formation that we provide to help college students know and live the Catho-lic faith in a deep way is the most unique gift

we have to offer in SPO. Formation is a “big” word, perhaps even intimidating. But forma-tion is simply more mature people helping less mature people grow, through a personal invest-ment of time spent together in community.

Formation in SPO builds a strong foundation that lasts a lifetime. The result is a remarkable “ripple effect” of thousands of SPO alumni who have become leaders in the Catholic commu-nity and in the marketplace. They are renew-ing the Church and transforming the culture for Christ.

Your support makes this possible, so thank you! I can think of few more urgent or neces-sary tasks in today’s world.

CALL FORM SENDREACH

Renewed CatholiCism

We advance the renewal of authentic Catholic life on college campuses, rooted in Sacred Scripture and Tradition, faithful to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, and confident in the help of the Holy Spirit.

the new evangelization

We follow the example of Saint Paul the Apostle by proclaiming the Gospel so that all might come to faith and maturity in Christ.

life-Changing Communities

We create transformative environments to challenge and equip college students to live out the call to holiness in their daily lives.

seRvant leadeRship

We identify and form the next generation of lay and religious leaders for our Church, our communities, and our world.

ChRistian unity

We are committed to the unity of the Church, and collaborate with other Catholic and Christian organizations.

Christian discipleship. With Saint Paul as our example, we create

vibrant, faith-filled environments that challenge students to deepen

their relationships with Christ in the fullness of the Catholic Church.

I came to the University of Minne-sota after 12 years of Catholic school education and I thought I was set in my faith. Thinking I didn’t need much support, I surrounded myself with non-religious friends. For the first time in all my years of schooling, my faith began to waver under the pressures of the partying college lifestyle. I was in danger of becoming a statistic: yet another Catholic falling away from the faith during college.

Then I heard about SPO. A friend of mine was living in the women’s Household and invited me over for dinner. Soon I joined a small group and started building new relationships with women who cared about me, who had a beautiful sense of self-worth, and whose lives were cen-tered on God. Deep down I longed to experience the source of their joy, but outwardly I was too afraid to break away from the shallow pleasures I was living for.

So I tried to ignore this desire for a renewed relationship with God and I stayed on the fringes of SPO, but as my longing for the Lord grew, I couldn’t hide any longer. To this day,

I struggle to find words to describe the transformation that happened. Simply put, God captivated my heart and drew me into the SPO community where my faith came alive and grew deeper.

Now I live in one of the women’s Households at the U of M. These sisters in Christ call me on to grow as a daughter of God, and are amazing witnesses to the abundant life that comes from trusting in the Lord. God worked through SPO to help me find Him again. Now it’s my turn to share with others the joy of living for the Lord.

STuDENTSTORY

Page 7: SPO Annual Report 2012

The last six months have been quite the whirlwind! My wife and I are blessed to work for SPO as Mission Directors, and back in the summer we uprooted and moved all the way from Minnesota to Texas to lead the mis-sion here. Not only that but our first child was just born!

I first heard about SPO when I was at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. One of my friends on campus intro-duced me to a guy who was living in the SPO Household, who invited me over for dinner. I was surprised by what I found. Here was a group of Catholic men that chose to live together to grow in their faith and discern their vocation. They had a

genuine desire for the Lord and for brotherhood. I had no idea that this kind of thing even existed.

Christ was drawing me to himself through SPO. When I graduated, I ap-plied to be a missionary and was ac-cepted. It’s been an incredible journey – moving to Minnesota to serve there, meeting and marrying an SPO’er, the love of my life, and then off to Texas.

I love SPO’s vision of community on mission. To me, it’s better to have a whole community on mission, be-cause a community is more effective than one person… and more fun too!

All I can say is I’m sold! I have seen

countless men and women come to know Christ and grow closer to Him through SPO. I know that I want to do nothing more than bring others to Jesus and I can do that through SPO. Not to mention I wouldn’t have Sarah and Anna if it weren’t for SPO.

We are grateful to be an SPO mission-ary family. Thank you, God, and thank you, SPO!

SPO hosted two “Trust One Greater” evangelistic events: one at Bene-dictine College in Kansas, and the other at the University of Minnesota. Over 1,500 college students and young adults attended.

They were nights of deep prayer and worship with Catholic recording artist Matt Maher. Fr. Craig Vasek of St. Philip’s in Bemidji, MN capti-vated those at the University of Minnesota with his message, while Arch-bishop Naumann of the Archdiocese of Kansas City, KS (pictured above) gave an inspiring exhortation at Benedictine College:

“That’s really my prayer for all of you tonight, that you might have that same faith in Jesus Christ, that same personal relationship with Him that will give you the power and the strength to endure, to overcome, to triumph, just as His cross triumphed.”

Lives were changed! Students turned back to God and grew in faith. Afterwards, one wrote:

“Amazing! I want to be a priest now!”

SPO-New Jersey continues to go from strength to strength. Students are turning back to Christ and His Church. One recently commented, “College for me is no longer simply about having fun on the weekends; it’s a mission field for me to share what I have received. SPO brought me to the Lord Jesus and to a new life, and for that I am so blessed.” Thank you to all our supporters, especially Archbishop Myers and Congressman Mike Ferguson, who was the honoree at our benefit banquet this year, receiving the Saint Paul’s Outreach Servant Leadership Award.NEW JERSEY

SPO-Arizona, one of our newest Mission Centers, is taking a big step this year, with three full-time missionaries now serving at the campus of Arizona State University. When SPO opens at a campus it works closely with three important groups. First the diocesan Bishop and his representative on campus; next the students who have shown interest in estab-lishing SPO at their campus; finally SPO collaborates with local Catholic supporters to get the word out and to ensure the financial stability of SPO into the future. Please keep this new SPO Mission Center in your prayers.

For the past few years, college students from the Archdiocese of Miami have attended SPO’s School of the New Evangelization. We have had students from various campuses in Miami that include: the University of Miami, Florida International University, Miami-Dade College, and Nova Southeastern University. Students and campus leaders from new loca-tions catch a vision for SPO through their experience of the School of the New Evange-lization, and this is one of the ways that SPO expands to new dioceses and campuses.

Our Texas Mission Center has launched a Formation in Christian Living Program in the diocese of Austin. SPO’s Formation Program is one of our most unique offerings, provid-ing students with advanced training to know and live the Catholic faith to the full. Every other week, the students gather to worship God and receive inspiring talks. They also meet one-on-one with a mentor, and together in small groups to encourage one another in living for Christ and sharing him with their peers on campus.

This year, SPO Mission Leaders have taken up residence in Morgantown, West Virginia to serve SPO’s newest campus, West Virginia University, an offshoot of the Ohio Mission Center. They have been hosting Men’s and Women’s Nights, Bible Studies and Lord’s Day celebra-tions among other community-building events in collaboration with the university’s Newman Center. In Columbus, SPO continues to grow, including adding two new Households filled with students on mission for Christ at Ohio State and Ohio Dominican.

FORMER BOARD MEMBERS

“There is an urgent need for SPO as college campuses are battlegrounds for the minds and souls of our young people. SPO is responding to that need and is answering the Church’s call for a New Evangelization by leading students back to Christ and the fullness of the Catholic faith. SPO builds evangelistic communities that provide these students with a unique quality and depth of formation in the Catholic faith and life. Your prayerful and financial support of SPO is critical to this mission and its result: thousands of alumni, who are passionate followers of Christ, continue to shine His light in the world long after they have graduated. Yes, SPO is renewing the Church and evangelizing the culture.”

- Most Rev. John C. Nienstedt, Archbishop of St. Paul & Minneapolis

“We should be even more thankful than ever before that the young men and women of Saint Paul’s Out-reach are working to bring the Gospel message to their peers at the college level, and helping to foster the formation of conscience and moral values based on the words and actions of Jesus, His Apostles, and the Magisterium of the Church.”

Pope Benedict XVI has proclaimed this year as the “Year of Faith.” It began on October 11th, 2012 and will con-clude on November 24th, 2013, the Solemnity of Christ the King. The Holy Father is summoning the faithful “to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the one Savior of the world.”1 It is an invitation to each of us to turn to God wholeheartedly in prayer, study, and the sacraments, to experience the joy of abundant life in Christ. But it is also a call to evangelize. We must not keep the greatest gift in the world to ourselves.

Evangelization is at the very heart of Christianity. Jesus commissioned His disciples to believe in the Gospel and then go forth to the ends of the earth and proclaim it. This has been the task of every disciple in every age since the birth of the Church on Pentecost.

In recent years the Church has sought to awaken us to this essential mission, this sacred privilege. “The Church exists to evangelize,” proclaimed Pope Paul VI.2 Blessed John Paul II announced this same message with equal urgency and intensity, “I sense that the moment has come to commit all of the Church’s energies to a new evangelization…No believer in Christ, no institution of the Church can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim Christ to all peoples.”3

Pope Benedict is calling the Church to this Year of Faith because, quite simply, we are facing a crisis of faith. We live in a culture that, in the words of the Russian writer and dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn, has “forgotten God.” Many live as though God does not exist and if He does exist He has little relevance to one’s daily life. The removal of God from our public discourse has profound consequences for the well-being of our culture. Arch-bishop Rino Fisichella, president of the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization, suggests that if our culture continues on its current path of being ashamed of the Gospel, ashamed of our Christian history and identity, then it will have no future: “The conclusion can only be that of an irreversible decline.”4

Nowhere is this crisis of faith more evident than among young people between the ages of 18 and 29. In 1960, fewer than 3% of those in this age group identified themselves as having no religious affiliation (“nones”). In the most recent survey of the Pew Institute, no less than 32% of this demographic claimed to be “nones.” Worse still, the religious affiliation of those who claim one is shallow. Indeed, only 14% of Catholic millennials attend weekly Sunday Mass.5

The crisis of faith is also a crisis of morality and a loss of respect for persons. Unsurprisingly, the rejection of God eliminates respect for the dignity of every human being as made in His image and likeness. Without this strong anthropology, human life is cheap and human beings are simply “useful” to one’s success and happiness.

The attacks on marriage, life, and religious freedom are merely symptoms of this underlying crisis. It is a crisis that goes far deeper than politics and so requires a solu-tion more fundamental than political activism, important though that is. It requires the renewal of the Church and the evangelization of the culture.

Our recent Popes have recognized this, making the call to the New Evangelization a defining priority of their pontificates. They have recognized the erosion of the Christian foundations of European and North Ameri-can culture and lifestyle. In the New Evangelization, the Christian faithful are exhorted to proclaim the Gospel anew particularly in these places – places that require “re-evangelizing”.

The New Evangelization is more than an improvement program for the Church – a rearranging of our ecclesial furniture. It is a whole new, or renewed, way of thinking. Archbishop Fisichella warns against reducing the New Evangelization to a slogan. The New Evangelization can-not simply be a new heading for our current approach

and programs. “Tactical changes will not save us.”4 The New Evangelization is a call to rebuild and transform the culture, fostering a civilization of love in the midst of the culture of death.

And there is hope! Young people are not satisfied with shallow lives; they are hungry for truth. They just need to be reached effectively. This is what we have been doing in SPO since our founding 27 years ago. We train and send young missionaries into the mission field of colleg-es and universities to evangelize. We reach students with the life-changing message of the Gospel and form them into mature disciples. Our vision for the future is that we would continue to expand across the country in order to provide every college student with the opportunity to encounter Christ and the beauty of the Catholic faith.

I am often asked, “What are your programs?” I am reluc-tant to answer with a list of our programs. While we have developed excellent programming in SPO, fundamentally it is not a “program” that changes people’s lives. What changes people’s lives is the culture, or the environment, that we create on college campuses, of people com-ing together in genuine, committed love of God that’s expressed in their love for one another. We are fostering a culture of life as an alternative to the prevailing secu-lar culture in our universities. Our mission begins with building strong communities of faith on college cam-puses and is only complete when these young adults are rooted in the life of the Church and living for Christ in every aspect of their daily lives.These are the key questions for us in our work with

college students: Are they experiencing life-changing conversion? Are they being built into living communities of faith? Are they growing in love with God through a life of prayer? Are they learning to live in genuine selfless love of neighbor? Are they continuing to live for Christ and share Him with others long after their college years? This is the kind of transformation that is required if we are truly to change the culture and address the crisis of faith.

Amidst this crisis, we must resist the temptation to lose hope and doubt the power of God to change hearts. As St. Paul says, we must “fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is passing, but what is unseen is eternal.”6 I am greatly heartened in this battle by the response of the young men and women who serve as SPO missionaries. One young man texted me recently quoting Psalm 146:3, “Put not your hope in princes, and in mortal man who cannot save.” These SPO missionaries continue to see with the eyes of faith as they carry out the New Evangelization. May we all be inspired to do the same this year. Truly, a new springtime of Christian life awaits us – if we are docile to the Holy Spirit.

SPO MEETS WiTh

ThE VATiCAN

Two SPO directors recently had a private meeting at the Vatican with the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelization. The purpose of the meeting was to strengthen SPO’s relationship with the Vatican and to explore ways we can collaborate. The Council expressed great interest in and support for SPO’s Formation and Training Programs.
