As you are likely aware, the economic issues facing our nation right now also directly affect the Saint Paul VI Institute. We have, over the years, relied on generous donors to assist us in the non-profit work in research and education we have embarked upon starting almost 50 years ago. We have been able to survive, and we will continue to survive, but I do desperately need your help at this point in time. So, if you can send to us a tax-deductible donation in the largest amount you can afford, I would really, really appreciate it.

There are a number of things I would like to bring to your attention including the following:

1. With the CREIGHTON MODEL FertilityCare System, we have programs in almost every state in the United States now — there are about 300 FertilityCare Centers we have established. In addition to that, along with NaProTECHNOLOGY®, the CREIGHTON MODEL System is located in six of the seven continents. The seventh continent is Antarctica, and we still do not have anybody there, but there are not a lot of people in Antarctica, so someday, perhaps, that will resolve itself. I do want you to know though this work has spread enormously since we first started this program in 1978.

2. I am also including, at the conclusion of this letter, several items that might be of interest to you with regard to questions of funding. For example, I am enclosing a copy of a graph showing the money Planned Parenthood raises from government sources every year to fund their operation. They now receive more than $500 million a year in funding from the federal government. Interestingly enough, there is a possibility this is in violation of the 1st Amendment to the United States Constitution. They have selectively eliminated those people who need and desire information on natural means of family planning, and the CREIGHTON MODEL System is the best out there. And yet, it was not too long ago that we were rejected by them because of a government policy mandate providing all forms of contraception to receive federal funding. However, it is only a smaller group of people who really do not want contraceptives. But, if you just think for a moment about the amount of money they receive from our tax dollars while rejecting, as a matter of policy, any group who might represent Catholic thought, in spite of its scientific verification–this is sharply discriminatory.

3. Along with that, I have enclosed the assets a number of foundations (the top 20 in each category) have available to fund causes basically antagonistic to fundamental Judeo-Christian beliefs. So, I have listed these foundations and their resources. I have also enclosed a similar list for foundations who might be intrigued by this type of effort. You can see the stark difference in the size of these foundations and their orientation. The Institute itself was opened in 1985 and, when we opened, I was the only physician working here. Now, we have added three other Board-certified and fellowship-trained obstetrician-gynecologists who also know, understand, and practice NaProTECHNOLOGY®. We are in the process of working toward the building of a new facility, a specialty hospital for women of procreative age called, “Christ, the Divine Healer.” The architectural drawings arecomplete and we are expecting to have further announcements in the near future.

4. We have trained more than 30 qualified obstetrician-gynecologists to perform the type of work we do, particularly in surgery and in the treatment of infertility, recurrent miscarriage, etc., etc. It is an incredible accomplishment to establish a program which has the far reach this does, and yet it started with one single physician. I am very proud of these accomplishments and would like for you to seriously consider a very generous donation at this time to help to continue to fund our Fellowship program. It costs us about $75,000 – $80,000 for each fellow per year for their salary, healthcare, and other fees. It is a competitive salary with other fellowship programs, but we do need to continue to increase it so we may remain competitive. Our Fellows are all currently located in the United States, but we have had great demands from doctors who work in foreign countries to get this kind of training as well.

5. We see patients who come from all over the world because of the expertise we have here at the Institute, and we will really soundly establish this with this new expansion. We are going from about 18,000 sq. feet to 60,000 sq. feet and will have our own operating suites, but it will not be a general hospital, it will be a surgical specialty hospital dedicated to the specialty care for women of procreative age.

I want to thank you in advance for very seriously considering the economic times we live in (which I realize also make it difficult for you), the type of work we are involved in, the discrimination we have been exposed to and the really significant need for the work we do (truly life-affirming women’s healthcare). This would include all tax-deductible donations in the amount you think you can afford:

❑$50,000 ❑ $25,000 ❑ $10,000 ❑ $5,000 ❑ $1,000 ❑ $500 ❑ $250 ❑ $100 Other $ ��

So, thanks again very much for the ongoing support you have been able to give to us over these years. I should have some new information on our new facility fairly soon. It is looking now like a major announcement! I will keep you informed. As of right now, I can tell you that it is going to happen, and I will give you more details in the near future. Thanks so much. I pray that God will be with you and your family in a very special way!
