A Message from Mary Kate Wold
Chief Executive Officer and President
Dear Friends:
We at CPG are grateful for another year of service to The Episcopal Church and for the opportunity to respond to the needs of those who serve it. Our hope is that the whole of our offerings is greater than the sum of our benefits, products, and resources—that we have continued to provide peace of mind and a framework for stability.
This report summarizes some of the impacts we have had over the past year as we continued to support the clergy—whether deacons or priests—and lay employees of the Church in their calling to spread the gospel.
We provided financial stability in the form of employee benefits and financial education to help clergy and lay employees understand those benefits. We identified risks and helped restore Church buildings that had been damaged by natural disasters or other occurrences. And we published new liturgical and ministry-supportive resources.
All of this has strengthened our ties to the Church and has helped us be a source of reassurance in uncertain economic and social times. Finances are strained for many, and we remain committed to providing the highest possible level of support as cost-effectively as we can.
As an employer, we reinforced clarity and commitment to organizational health with our team at CPG because we know that diversity, equity, and inclusion; strong alignment about our most important work; and thoughtful execution of our strategic plan result in a higher level of service for those who depend on us.
I frequently talk about our strategic plan when I am invited to speak to audiences around the Church. I want everyone to understand how intentional we are about getting the right work done professionally, compassionately, and consistently so that we continue to earn the trust of everyone we serve.
In our first full year back in our offices after the COVID-19 pandemic, we were glad to be in fellowship with each other and to be out and about with many of you. We are grateful to be meeting in person again and to have new online tools to bring us closer to our stakeholders. We look forward to being in touch over the upcoming year.
Faithfully,
Mary Kate Wold
