1. New Catholic University changes name to John Paul the Great Catholic University
The Board of Trustees of New Catholic University approved the changing of the name of New Catholic
University (considered a temporary name from the outset) to a new permanent name - John Paul the
Great Catholic University. The Board notified the Diocese of San Diego and at the request of Bishop Brom retained the
word Catholic in the name of the University.
The Board has filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation with the
State of California notifying them of the name change.
2. Update on John Paul the Great Catholic University’s application to the State of California BPPVE for approval
JP Catholic University first submitted an Application to 'Operate a degree granting institution' to the
State of California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE) in July 2004.
JP Catholic received its first response from the BPPVE in early March 2005, and replied in early April
2005. Last week, (early June 2005), JP Catholic received a response to its April submission. As expected,
the response contained a small list of issues that require still further clarification. The critical issue
remaining at this stage revolves around the lease of a facility. Search for this facility is on-going and
we have engaged professional services. We appreciate any leads that you may be able to provide.
3. John Paul the Great Catholic University Scholarship Gala to launch the establishment of a Scholarship Endowment Fund - Sept 17th, 2005

endowment fund. The black tie optional event will be held at the beautiful La Jolla Hyatt, which hosted

purchases have begun. Let us know if you can help with encouraging your friends to
