Longtime readers of Living Faith will recognize the Living Faith Foundation as a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting chaplains in their mission to bring the Good News—and religious publications—to various communities, including members of the military, and inmate populations. (Your support is always welcomed!)
In recent months, the Foundation has welcomed Helen Osman as its new President. And we’ll be hearing more from Helen herself, here at the blog, in the weeks to come.
Here’s more about Helen from a Bayard press release:
The Living Faith Foundation, Bayard’s non-profit organization dedicated to making a difference and strengthening communities through the power of the Catholic faith, is delighted to announce the appointment of Helen Osman as its new President. With a rich history dating back to 1993, the Living Faith Foundation has been steadfast in its mission to distribute faith resources to prison chaplains, military bases and beyond, spreading hope and comfort to those in need.
Helen Osman has worked in communications for faith-based organizations since 1984. During an eight-year term in Washington, D.C., where she served as Secretary of Communications for the U.S. Catholic bishops, she shepherded the visits to the United States of Pope Benedict XVI in 2008 and Pope Francis in 2015. She has worked for dioceses, state Catholic conferences, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and other entities. Today, Helen serves as a consultor to the Dicastery for Communications, she is the president of both Greater Wings, LLC and of the international board for SIGNIS, the World Catholic Association for Communications, and is a member of the board for the American Bible Society and the German-based Catholic Media Council.
In assuming the role of President, Helen Osman expressed profound gratitude and eagerness to collaborate with the dedicated team of staff and volunteers. “I am honored to be able to serve in this role for the Living Faith Foundation,” said Osman. “I hope the board, along with the leadership of Bayard, can make our resources even more available to those who are seeking the comfort and wisdom of God’s Word in the difficult times of their lives.”
Bayard Inc. looks forward to the guidance and leadership of Helen Osman, confident that under her stewardship and with all involved in its work, the Living Faith Foundation will continue to grow and serve when it’s needed most.
