20 FINANCIAL REPORT 2015 ARCHDIOCESE OF DENVER As previously reported, a significant fire occurred at the adult retreat center at St. Malo on Nov. 14, 2011 and since that date, the center has been closed. While the historic St. Catherine Chapel on the grounds of St. Malo was not impacted by the fire, the guest lodging units were damaged extensively. In September 2013, the center was impacted again from the significant rainstorms and flooding that occurred in northern Colorado. Specifically, a mudslide originating at Mount Meeker swept down the mountain and onto the center's property, causing significant damage to the natural terrain of the property. In light of significant remediation costs to the property, the ongoing uncertainty regarding the stability of Mount Meeker and the unknown impact of future water and sediment flows on the property, it has been determined that it is not prudent to rebuild a conference center or youth camp on the St. Malo property. There is a plan underway, however, to refurbish the historic St. Catherine Chapel and to convert the existing St. William's Lodge into a visitor's center. In May 2015, a 250-acre lot in Jefferson County was purchased for $2.1 million as an alternative location for the possible reconstruction of an adult retreat center and a new youth camp. Management of Camp St. Malo and the archdiocese are in the process of working through the rezoning process in Jefferson County for this property. If appropriate zoning is obtained, construction would begin in fiscal 2017 at the earliest. In 2015 and 2014, the board of directors of St. Malo granted $80,000 and $100,000, respectively, to the John Paul II Adventure Institute (JPII Institute), an independent apostolate in northern Colorado that provides outdoor education activities and camping experiences for both youth and young adults. While no long-term commitment was made to the JPII Institute, the board of directors of Camp St. Malo recognizes the need and importance of providing such experiences to the youth of northern Colorado, especially to the poor and needy. Interest earned from the fire and mudslide insurance selements was used to fund these grants.
