Slide 1: Introductory Slide – Jim Logan – slides 1 - 8 Greetings from your Colleagues in RELAN! My name is Jim Logan and my partners on this presentation are Alan Weyland and Maggie McCarty.

Slide 2: RELAN The region of RELAN spans all of the United States and Canada. We are very proud to share with you that Francophone Canada is celebrating their 175th anniversary this year. The first permanent works in the United States began just a few years later in 1845. One of the major trends in our region since the 2006 International Assembly has been the continuing consolidation of districts – In 2009 – DENA was formed from three now historical districts. 2014 – the Districts of SF and NO/SF will become one new district. These consolidations reflect the very challenging times we face and expect that we will continue to face heading into the future.

Presentation Notes

Slide 8: Pedagogy Addressing the financial viability and sustainability of our apostolates as well as keeping them accessible to the youth we are called to serve is a major challenge. This is especially difficult because our schools operate without governmental funding. Our students pay the full cost of tuition minus whatever financial assistance the schools themselves are able to provide. Our schools provide $80 million dollars in financial aid annually and the economic crisis has negatively affected not only our students and families ability to pay but also our donors ability to contribute. We are especially concerned with our apostolates in urban areas where the students tend to come from families with less financial stability – approximately 16% of our students live in poverty. Addressing these challenges is now and will be a major initiative across our region.
