Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are pleased to share with you our Annual Report
which highlights some of the successes and offers just
a glimpse at the tremendous impact Catholic Guardian
Services has made over the past year. We have been
giving New Yorkers what they need to live better lives for
over 117 years. Those we serve include: mothers-to-be;
at-risk families from distressed communities; children
in foster care; youth and adults with developmental
disabilities; and, most recently, unaccompanied migrant
children fleeing violence in their home countries.
This has been an eventful time for Catholic Guardian Services.
• Last spring the State of New York awarded us
the care of two homes in Melville, New York, that
serve adults with developmental disabilities. Most
are wheelchair bound, elderly, medically fragile and
profoundly disabled. They had lived in the State’s
institutional settings for many years. This transition
was an extraordinary undertaking, but it is now nearing
completion as we plan to move them into new homes
and to integrate them into welcoming communities with
an enhanced quality of care. • With the leadership of the Board of Directors, we
launched a new strategic plan for the future of CGS,
focusing on how we can best serve our clients in a
changing world with an emphasis on reaching people
before they suffer tremendous hardship.
• We are currently preparing to add community mental
health clinic services that will respond to the needs of
underserved children in the Bronx. This new program
will deliver much-needed interventions to 500 children
and families annually.
• And, in December we launched our newest program
of Care Management for chronically ill children to ensure
effective coordination of their physical health, behavioral
health and social service needs through one integrated
and holistic care plan. We also expanded our federal
program for unaccompanied migrant children to now
offer long-term care.
At Catholic Guardian Services, we focus considerable
resources and talent on ensuring that New Yorkers have
a secure, loving, and permanent home environment,
and we help to make that possible through providing
parenting-skills education, a home to live in, counseling,
educational support, and job skills preparation, among
ot ways. Thank you for your support, which makes all of
this possible.
Most sincerely,
Craig Longley
Executive Director

31st Annual Child of Peace Award Dinner
Each year Catholic Guardian Services celebrates the work of our
agency and honors special leaders in the community at the Child
of Peace Awards Dinner. Over 370 friends came together for this
year’s Child of Peace Awards Dinner at The Pierre Hotel on October
18, 2016. Mrs. Mary McCooey received the Child of Peace Award
for her history of dedication to the church. The Child of Peace Award is given to
a distinguished individual or individuals to acknowledge the peace and comfort
that he or she brings to those in need. Mr. and Mrs. John V. Perna received the
Rosalie Cadron-Jetté Award for Courage and Compassion, in recognition of their
dedication to Catholic Guardian Services, their parish, and many other charities.
This year the late Mrs. Ann Mara was honored with the Golden Heart Award, a
one-time award specifically created to commemorate her life and generosity to
the community. Mrs. Mara’s award was accepted by her daughter, Susan Mara
McDonnell, on behalf of the Mara family.
Janice Huff, NBC4 meteorologist, was the Emcee for the evening and Bishop
John O’Hara presented the awards to the honorees.
A special guest was Heyrres Galva, a former foster child who is now a young,
independent adult. Ms. Galva gave a testimonial of her experience as a CGS
foster child and a participant in CGS’ Youth Employment Services Program (YES)
which provides career skills training to youth leaving the foster care system. Ms.
Galva shared that in YES she “learned so much about career readiness but, most
importantly, I learned about myself.” Her remarks were inspiring to all who attended.
The Honorees praised the work of Catholic Guardian Services for its commitment
to our vital programs. The dinner raised nearly $600,000 dollars to support
underserved familes, children, and individuals with special needs.

Annual Campaign for Help, Hope and Dignity
The 2017 Annual Campaign for Help, Hope and Dignity provides support for
our Maternity, Foster Care and Developmental Disabilities programs. This year,
Bishop Gerald Walsh and Board Chairman Rory Kelleher are serving as Campaign
Co-chairs, Jane Sullivan Murphy is serving as Leadership Phase Chair, and a
Leadership Committee has also been formed. The goal is to raise $2 million from
friends and supporters of the agency.
Programs and Services Supported by our Annual Campaign
Parenting Resource Center – Through CGS’ Parenting Resource Center, we
provide parenting education, crisis pregnancy counseling, and resources and
supports, including safe cribs and baby clothing. Our parenting education begins
with pre-natal classes to improve the health of expecting mothers and their babies
and continues with education for parents of toddlers and older children, teaching
the stages of child development and parenting basics to build stronger families
and reduce the risk of child abuse and neglect.
Elder Care Support Services – CGS has developed specialized homes to work
with the elderly with developmental disabilities. Our disabled populations are
aging and in need of enhanced in-home care to allow our residents to age in a
safe, secure home. Their needs require additional nursing services and more staff
to support individuals who have lost mobility.
Educational Support and Mentoring Services for Foster Care Youth – The
goal of raising a child in foster care is to provide a better setting for him or her
to thrive. CGS’ Educational Support Services provides children and youth in care
with opportunities to help them succeed in school and beyond. These services
include tutoring, educational advocates, and mentoring, all of which will increase
the likelihood that our youth will have the pathway to a quality, independent life.
Youth Employment Services – CGS is a leader in employment services for
youth aging out of foster care. Our Youth Employment Services (YES) program
provides our young people with the skills, opportunities, and support needed to gain
employment. YES provides a proven curriculum, coaches and employment partners
to develop and prepare young people to set goals, build their resume, prepare for
job interviews, learn industry-based skills, and obtain a job that will lead to a career.
Behavioral Health Clinic – CGS is starting a community based mental health
clinic that will serve clinically underserved populations in the Bronx. This new
program will serve 400 children from our preventive program each year and an
additional 100 foster children, as well as underserved children from the community.
The Annual Campaign will provide start-up costs for staff training and recruitment,
equipment, furniture and office space.

Catholic Guardian
Services is committed to
helping families thrive.
Providing at-risk families
with whatever they need
to grow and keep their
children safe — whether
that means help with
getting access to medical
care, financial assistance,
parenting education, or
family therapy — is our
passion, and we served
1,135 families through
these services.
The Healthy Families
New York program served
171 families, working
to improve their access
to medical providers and
services.CGS also works
to prevent child abuse and
neglect through programs
such as Family First and
Family Unity, which help
families through the use of
evidence based child abuse
prevention models and
home-based family therapy.

came to Catholic
Guardian Services'
The Bah
Healthy Families
Family
program after her
third child was born
prematurely. She had learned about the
program while at her local library. She soon
found that the program was a great help to
her entire family. A stay-at-home mother of
three, Mrs. Bah, who was born in Guinea,
PIC TK
felt she and her husband lacked a support
system. Through Healthy Families, she has
found resources in her community, including
referrals to a daycare as she looks to go
back to work to help support the family. A
devoted mother, Mrs. Bah has been eager
to take advantage of the information about
child development she can learn through
this program. She says she keeps telling her
friends and neighbors that Healthy Families
is a great resource for their families.

hen Carmela first came to Catholic Guardian
Services' Maternity Services program, she
had three young children and was pregnant
with her fourth. She had recently returned to New York
after experiencing a domestic violence situation and was
financially overwhelmed. Carmela was referred by staff at
Jacobi Medical Center, where she was receiving pre-natal
services, for assistance with baby provisions. However,
when Carmela learned about the additional services
offered, she consistently and actively participated in our
program in order to attend parenting classes and receive
supportive counseling from Social Worker, Julia Stevens.
Carmela attended the pre-natal maternity program,
where she learned new skills and enjoyed receiving support
from other moms who were
in similar situations. Carmela
has expressed how much she
adores her four children and
now feels more equipped, both
financially and emotionally, to
care for her family. Alongside
the group classes, Carmela
began participating in weekly
Parenting
individual counseling with her
Resource
Social Worker. Carmela and
Center
Julia spent time discussing
Carmela
Carmela’s relationship with her
Acosta
baby’s father, her stressors,
and her strengths. Now that
Carmela has found a safe
place to share her feelings and feel supported, she has
gained tremendous confidence in her skills as a parent.
The Parenting Resource Center also provided Carmela
with baby clothes, diapers and a new crib. In addition, the
program was able to assist Carmela with one month’s rent, so
that she would have the chance to catch up on her expenses
and reduce some of her financial burden. Carmela even
participated in a program baby shower with other expectant
mothers and expressed her abundant appreciation for having
somewhere to turn to in her time of need. Carmela continues
to attend counseling and is currently working with Julia to
obtain employment as a CNA. She is extremely grateful for
the resources she has received and has a new sense of
empowerment that she uses to provide for her children.
Our Parenting Resource
Center served 157
parents, providing
parenting education and
counseling to improve
maternal and child
health, and “Bridges to
Health” provided care
to 150 children in
low-income families.
Through the Healthy
Families New York
program, our Parenting
Resource Center, and
“Bridges to Health”,
we improve maternal,
infant and child health
by providing referrals
to medical providers,
parenting education
(including prenatal health
and nutrition and infant
care), access to medical
services for those with
low income, and other
services.

CGS is one of the
largest providers of
foster care in the
State of New York. In
addition to the familybased foster care CGS
provides, we operate
three group homes
for youth in the care
system who are in need
of special treatment
or who have children
of their own. CGS also
provides family foster
care for children
with special medical
and behavioral
health needs.
We offer support
services to children
and youth in foster
care, including medical
and mental health
services and our Youth
Employment Services
(YES) program, which
provides workforce
training to young people
leaving foster care.

Family
foster parents and,
often, loving and
courageous adoptive
parents. Alejandro and Martha Altamirano have
been both. The Altamiranos have two biological
children, Kathleen and Oliver and, now, three
adopted children, Justin, Allison and Oscar. Oscar
is the latest to be adopted, on December 23,
Foster Care
and Adoption
2015, and being adopted has helped him gain a
new sense of belonging and stability.
Oscar was first placed with the Altamirano
family in foster care in 2010. Oscar has had
many academic challenges, but once he was told
that he would be adopted by the Altamiranos, he
began to make significant progress. At one point,
he refused to use his last name at school and
would write “Oscar Altamirano.” Being adopted
has given Oscar the security of belonging, stability
and well-being he never had before. Oscar loves
spending time with his brothers and sisters,
reading, and working on Legos and puzzles.
Y
ushishia first came to CGS’ care through our foster care program.
She was provided assistance through our independent living
services and was referred to the YES program when she decided
to enter the workforce. The YES curriculum provided her with the relevant
business, technical, and interview skills needed to succeed in today’s
workforce. She was particularly appreciative of the mutual love and
respect characteristic of the classes’ atmosphere. Because of the selfconfidence the YES program helped her to build
within herself, Yushishia did not feel nervous

Shawn Council lives in Queens
at one of CGS’ residences.
Shawn came to CGS in 2005
after living at a residential
school in Pennsylvania. He
loves music and spends time playing on his
keyboard, listening to music, writing song lyrics,
and discussing music with his friends or anyone
he meets! He takes music lessons and has written
and recorded his own song. Shawn also enjoys
acting and has performed in plays.
Shawn’s initial transition to CGS after the
residential school was difficult, but he has learned
Shawn’s

how to express his feelings and needs to the
staff and has learned to interact with his peers.
After completing a work-skills program with Life
Work, Shawn began working at Best Buy in 2009.
Shawn continues to work with a job coach and
has made tremendous improvement in his work
at Best Buy, where he is currently stocking DVDs.
Shawn continues to become more independent at
home also, and is now able to stay in the house
alone for up to two hours. He is able to come
home, use his own key to enter, and stay home
until staff arrive. Shawn is a pleasure for all who
live and work with him and he continues to thrive.
