2014 Annual Report
Dear Friends,
It is our pleasure to share with you Holy Cross Ministries’
2014 Annual Report, in which we describe the scope of our
work with the underserved in our community. Recognizing
their widespread needs, our programs provide early
childhood and youth education classes as well as school
counseling; bilingual outreach services to provide prenatal
education, basic health screening, domestic violence
counseling, and community referrals; and legal immigration
assistance, primarily for families and victims of domestic
violence.
The stories we share in the 2014 Annual Report illustrate just
a few of the ways in which over 6,500 lives have been
impacted by Holy Cross Ministries this past year. These
outcomes are made possible by our generous supporters,
talented staff, community partners and collaborators – all of
which allow us to collectively continue Holy Cross’ legacy of
effective programming, driven by the commitment to serve
those in need.
We are proud to further the practice of service established
by the Sisters of the Holy Cross in 1875, and look forward to
fostering this tradition of compassionate service for years to
come.
Sincerely,
Maria S. Farrington Executive Director

Holy Cross Ministries A Tradition of Caring for our Community’s Future
Our Mission: “We respond to the
underserved community’s needs for health and well
being. We share God-given resources, connect people
to community services, and assist individuals and families to move to
independence and full participation in the
community. We do this to fulfill the mission of Jesus
Christ and in the spirit of the Sisters of the Holy Cross.”
Our history: On June 6, 1875, two Sisters of the Holy Cross
arrived in Utah to establish a hospital for injured miners and railroad
workers. Their pioneering spirit of meeting the healthcare needs of
the growing community was only the beginning. After opening a
Hospital, the sisters also established an innovative prepaid health
plan to increase the accessibility of needed medical care.
Over the years, they continued to find new ways to heal the sick,
educate girls and women, and care for orphans. In 1994, the sisters
decided to create Holy Cross Ministries to expand their outreach
services to the poor and underserved. We carry on their legacy today,
through the innovative programs and services offered by Holy Cross
Ministries.
95.83% of graduating students from Holy Cross Ministries’
School Readiness Program in 2014 performed well enough
on the Kindergarten readiness assessment to no longer be
considered “at risk.”
“They are really fulfilling a
need in our community”
- School Readiness Program parent
Education School Readiness and Afterschool Programs
Many Hispanic children enter Kindergarten with no classroom or reading experience, which continues to impact them as they advance through the education system. In 2013, Hispanic students in the Park City School District were only 68% proficient in Language Arts, compared with their Caucasian peers’ proficiency of 96%. Research shows that an inability to read in third grade is a strong predictor for academic failure later on, which ultimately puts them on the dropout track. In order to combat this trend among at-risk students, Holy Cross Ministries offers academic support for predominately low-income Hispanic students through our School Readiness Program and Afterschool Programs. In 2014, our combined programs served over 250 youth ranging in ages from 3-12 years old. The bilingual teachers in Holy Cross Ministries’ School Readiness Program provide students with the pre-literacy skills in English that they need to begin Kindergarten on a level playing field with their more affluent peers. The program incorporates a wide variety of strategies including: affordable programming, parent engagement, community support, and student education. Our Afterschool Program offers an enriching program for students at Jeremy Ranch Elementary, McPolin Elementary, and Parley’s Park Elementary in collaboration with the Park City School District as part of the United Way Promise Park City partnership. In 2014, we saw increased percentages in learning attitudes, physical activities, self esteem, and interpersonal development of students enrolled in the program. Improving student attitudes in each of these areas increases the chances of student success. This focus on promoting developmental assets is proven to lead to academic gains and to act as a buffer against negative influences in adolescence.
Elena’s Story:
When asked why they
enrolled their daughter in
the School Readiness
Program, Elena’s father
immediately expressed
the value he places on
early childhood education.
“I have three jobs, and I
am breaking my back,
but it is so my family
can have more than I
did.”
His investment is already
paying off – Elena’s
assessment scores nearly
tripled in her first
semester with the School
Readiness Program. Her
teacher remarked that
Elena “was very shy when
the school year began, and
spoke only Spanish, but
now she is starting to
practice English with her
classmates.”
"The work done in our clinic
is enhanced by our strong
collaboration with Holy Cross
Ministries."
- South Main Clinic physician
In 2014, the Promotora Outreach Program at Holy
Cross Ministries made 1,178 referrals for our clients to
various resources in the community.
Health Promotora Outreach, Parish Health and Counseling Programs
Unfortunately, immigrant victims of violence are often
isolated by language and socioeconomic status. These women
need long-term, sustained, and culturally sensitive mental
health services. They are also less likely to have health
insurance, given that 60% of foreign born Hispanics living in
the state of Utah are uninsured, which is a critical factor in
receiving any type of medical care. This is particularly crucial
for Latina mothers, who face many risk factors regarding the
health of their babies.
Recognizing the dynamic needs faced by our clients, our
Family Counseling Program focuses on domestic violence
counseling support and Holy Cross Ministries employs
bilingual, bi-cultural outreach workers—known as
Promotoras—based in low-income clinics throughout
Northern Utah.
In 2014, one of our Licensed Clinical Social Worker served over
50 victims of violence with outcome data indicating that all
clients at the conclusion of their services experienced a
reduction in social distress, interpersonal relationship stress,
and social role stress; our school counseling program served
900 students in three Catholic schools; and the Promotoras
reached over 200 expectant mothers during 145 prenatal
group classes and 108 individual prenatal sessions. As a result
of this prenatal care, the expectant mothers’ feeling of being
prepared for the delivery of their baby increased by 22.23%.
Furthermore, our Promotoras assisted over 300 individuals
last year in obtaining health coverage, and 84% now report
having a primary care physician. They also facilitate a support
group program for Spanish speaking parents of children with
special needs and/or complex medical diagnosis, called Niños
Especiales Familias Fuertes (NEFF).
Rosa’s Story:
Rosa became pregnant at age
13 as a result of statutory
rape. Both terrified and
embarrassed, she dropped out
of school. After assisting Rosa
with her U Visa application,
our legal staff referred her to
the Promotora Program. One
of our Promotoras was able to
conduct several home-visits,
meeting with Rosa and her
mother.
Not only did she receive one
on one prenatal classes, but
after meeting with the school
counselor, Rosa eventually
returned to school.
Rosa has worked extremely
hard to pursue her studies
over the past 4 years, and we
are incredibly proud that she
will be graduating from high
school this year. Holy Cross
Ministries is now doing the
family’s petition for lawful
permanent residency and
Rosa plans to continue her
education.
158 victims of crime were able to obtain legal residency
through Holy Cross Ministries’ U Visa Program in 2014.

open the door of
possibilities for
me and my
children and made
the world a more

- Legal immigration client
Justice Legal Immigration
Utah has a growing immigrant community and yet
there are only four non-profit organizations in the
state that are legally authorized to represent them
in immigration legal matters. This reality makes
immigrants and their families a critically
underserved population in our community.
Holy Cross Ministries is one of only two
organizations in the state to provide low-cost legal
services assisting immigrant victims of violent
crimes and has the largest U Visa Program in Utah,
which helps achieve temporary legal status for
these women and their immediate family
members.
Through our long history of service, Holy Cross
Ministries has become well known as a trusted
resource in the Latino community. Recognizing
that a change in legal status can mean a world of
difference for immigrant families, the main
objective of our legal immigration department is to
offer individuals and families’ affordable legal
counsel and services.
In 2014 alone the program provided legal counsel
to nearly 1,500 individuals and families. Many of
which are able to file with US immigration
services for a change in their legal status.
Jose’s Story:
Jose received his permanent resident
card during the amnesty program
through his tireless work in agricultural
fields. In 1993, Jose began the process
for his 18 year old son, Miguel, to also
obtain a permanent resident card.
11 years later, with the help of one of
our immigration attorneys, Jose learned
that he was eligible to take the
citizenship test in Spanish. Thanks to
Jose’s citizenship status, Miguel was able
to legally marry the mother of his
children without losing the petition that
his father filed for him in 1993.
Over the next 10 years, Holy Cross
continued to represent Jose’s family, and
in December 2014, after 21 years of
waiting for eligibility, Miguel and his wife
received their permanent resident cards.
Three months later Holy Cross Ministries
received the resident cards to give to
Jose’s grandchildren as well.
