As I write this letter, I am with our Sisters and Associates in Botswana, Africa, celebrating our 15th anniversary of presence here. These are joyous days of remembering and rejoicing in the ways God has invited us as a Congregation to come to know this lovely country and its warm and welcoming people.

I am reminded of a quote from an article1 I read this summer in which the author spoke of nurturing “a heart big enough to embrace the beauty and suffering that life offers us.” The SCN Family has had so much beauty to embrace over the summer. Across the Congregation, seven of our Sisters made perpetual vows, five made first vows, and we welcomed six new Novices. We celebrated jubilees — 25, 50, and each five years up to 85 years — of our Sisters who have embraced beauty and suffering, and let their lives respond to both. At the Cathedral in Louisville, Kentucky, we were part of the unveiling of a statue of Mother Catherine Spalding, our founder, who left us such a legacy of caring. This Fall, we are also celebrating 40 years of SCN ministry in Belize — 40 years of having our lives entwined with the beauty and suffering of the people there.

Embracing the suffering of life during these past months has included for our Congregation, letting go of our last pioneer to India. Ann Roberta Powers, SCN, slipped quietly into eternity, dying as she had lived — humble, dedicated, prayerful, trusting in God, and interested in the community and world up to the end.

In this issue of The Journey, you will find stories of the ways Sisters and Associates embrace the suffering of the larger world. Earthquake victims, patients in need of healing, “our common home” the earth, and immigrants-all find a place in our hearts as we strive to bring God’s reign. We gather up the beauty that we experience and bring that with us to the suffering ones we encounter. Knowing that the Spirit is with us in it all, gives us the energy and hope to become big-hearted.

Thank you for all the ways that you join us in our mission. You are part of the beauty that enriches our SCN Family life.

STATUE OF FOUNDRESS UNVEILED Mother Catherine Spalding Hundreds of people gathered in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, in July to celebrate the unveiling of the first statue of a woman on public land in Louisville — a statue of Mother Catherine Spalding.

The life-size statue was unveiled outside the Cathedral of the Assumption, where Mother Catherine once taught and cared for children, and founded a number of Louisville ministries and institutions.

In 2003, the Louisville Courier-Journal named her the one woman among sixteen “most influential people in Louisville/ Jefferson County history.”

The statue, created by artist Raymond Graf, is bronze and stands at five-feet tall. Mother Catherine is depicted caring for two children, one in her 3

arms, and one clutching the folds of her skirt. SCN Susan Gatz, president of the Congregation, told reporters at the unveiling, that it was a historic moment, “I can imagine that Catherine is delighted to be back on the streets of Louisville where she found so much need and so many collaborators … and to be portrayed with her beloved orphans must give her great joy.”

Well-wishers spilled out from the church and onto Fifth Street, which had to be shut down to accommodate the crowd.

Sisters of Charity of Nazareth from across the Congregation were present.

Mother Catherine (1793–1858) was 19 when she was elected leader of six women forming the new religious community, the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. She

SIS TERS OF CHARIT Y OF NA Z ARE TH • VOL . III 2015

came into office at a time when no education for girls, no private health care, and no organized social services existed on the Kentucky frontier.

Catherine, who lost her mother at a young age, and whose father abandoned her, was raised by relatives. She developed a fierce independence, a dedication to hard work, and a devotion to education and her faith. Under Mother Catherine’s leadership, SCN ministries greatly expanded. Mother Catherine founded several educational institutions, Louisville’s first private hospital, and the first social service agency for children in Kentucky.

SCN historian Mary Ellen Doyle, SCN, says the statue is in a fitting place in downtown Louisville, as all around there S C N FA M I LY.O R G

are reminders of Mother Catherine’s lingering impact in the river city. In 1831, Catherine and three Sisters opened Presentation Academy in the basement of St. Louis Church, where the Cathedral now stands. The next year, when a cholera outbreak decimated the city, the Sisters volunteered to nurse the sick and gathered orphans into their own small house behind the church. Within three years, river boats and urban disease brought enough orphans to the Sisters to require purchase of a larger building, the St. Vincent Orphanage. It had a long wing in which Mother Catherine completed a triad of services by opening St. Vincent Infirmary. Presentation Academy moved out of the church basement into houses on Fifth Street until 1893, and then onto its current location on Fourth Street. It is Louisville’s oldest

continuously operating Catholic high school. Nearby, sits Spalding University, also founded by the Sisters.

At the time of Mother Catherine’s death in 1858, the Congregation extended beyond Nazareth, Kentucky, to more than 100 Sisters in 16 convents. By the middle of the 20th century, SCNs were engaged in two colleges, more than 30 high schools, and over 100 elementary schools. Countless children were given homes in six orphanages, and thousands of patients received care in 12 hospitals.

Six nurses’ training schools extended the SCN service.

The Congregation expanded beyond the United States in the 1940s. Today, Mother Catherine’s spirit lives on in hundreds of Sisters, international now in membership

and in ministries in North America, Central America, Asia, and Africa.

Mary Margaret Mulvihill, a 1960 Presentation Academy graduate, and chairwoman of the statue steering committee, worked tirelessly for years to get a statue of Mother Catherine installed in front of the Cathedral. “This statue is to honor all women who are truly the backbone of the church,” says Mary Margaret.

Eleanor Jordan, executive director of the Kentucky Commission on Women, echoes Mary Margaret, “I don’t want my granddaughter and I don’t want your granddaughter to have to wait until she’s enrolled in a women’s studies program to know that she has dozens of models to emulate.”

A BEACON IN HER COMMUNITY

Sister Jeanne serves with dedication and compassion

Sister Jeanne Vucic, SCN, stands in St. Casimir Church in Adena, Ohio.

Since the time that she entered first grade Jeanne Vucic, SCN, knew she wanted to be a Sister, and that in her life she wanted to help others and touch people more deeply.

Sister Jeanne left home after eighth grade to attend Vincentian High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. An aspirant at age 13, she became a postulant in her senior year. Sister Jeanne made first vows two years later.

For many years, Sister Jeanne taught high school foreign language and she was very happy in that role. At a point in her life she wanted to touch people more deeply, so she decided to enter pastoral ministry at St. Casimir Church in the Diocese of Steubenville, Ohio. Sister Jeanne has been there for the last 29 years.

“I am now teaching the children of the children that I taught when I first came to this parish,” she says.

Sister Jeanne keeps very busy with many roles in pastoral ministry. Preparing students for Reconciliation, First Communion, Confirmation, training lectors and eucharistic ministers, and leading scripture study are all 5

part of her religious education role in the church.

Sister Jeanne also plays the organ, often in two parishes, and trains the choir and cantors.

And keep going she does, visiting hospitals, nursing homes, and about 20 people who are homebound. One of the most important aspects of home visits for Sister Jeanne is bringing the Eucharist to people.

People don’t just open their homes,

they open their hearts.

Opening homes and opening hearts “In the beginning there were no house numbers, so the only way I could find out where someone lived was to know where this other person lived, and then count down the number of houses,” recalls Sister Jeanne.

Now she knows this community very well, and she says that what touches her most is that people don’t just open their homes, they open their hearts. “They are willing to share stories and tell you about their families,” she says.

Sometimes people don’t want her to leave after a home visit. It may be one of the very few visitors they have in a while, says Sister Jeanne. “It’s very humbling to experience that openness that they have. My original intention of doing ministry with people in a more meaningful way has certainly borne fruit.”

She recalls helping a woman who was very confused about where she was, even though she was in her home. Sister Jeanne comforted her and tracked down her son on his cell phone. “A lot can happen — you just want to be an instrument to provide help,” she says.

The economic realities of the area are evident. Employment options are dwindling since the heyday of the coal mines. Sister Jeanne keeps going with a smile on her face. “I never thought I would be here this long, I could retire, but I want to go on as long as I can,” she says.

The beautiful statue of the Immaculate Mother outside St. Casimir Church in Adena, Ohio, represents the deep faith of the community.

Sister Jeanne feels at home on the Church organ in St. Casimir.

CELEBRATING 15 YEARS IN BOTSWANA When Sisters gathered to celebrate 15 years in Botswana, Africa, in August, gratitude was the predominant emotion.

Stories and memories were shared, and the Sisters dreamed of all that is possible for the future of SCN ministry in Botswana.

Creator in complete confidence and trust; and the sparkling eyes of children reveal that God is the cosmic provider and creator of all. When faced with problems, the people say, ‘Modimo O teng,’ God is there, God is in control of everything so do not worry.”

SCNs Ann Muthukattil, Nalini Meachariyill, Angela Hicks, Pat Huitt, and Sarita Manavalan, were the pioneers in founding ministries in Botswana.

Together the five helped each other learn the Setswana language, and local customs and culture, in order to better provide medical, educational and pastoral services.

Many Sisters have been in ministry in Botswana, SCNs Vinaya Chalil, Prisca Tirkey, Olive Pinto, Bibiana Kindo, and Mary Michael Dang. Tootsie Gish, SCNA, was in ministry in Botswana for five years. Lay mission volunteers have also traveled to Africa.

At the time, the needs in the sub-Saharan country were overwhelming, as according to news reports, one in three adults was affected or infected by HIV. Recently, Sister Nalini, described how her deep love for the country and the people continues to grow. “My life in Botswana has been a rich experience of encountering the Divine in the young people, seeing the dying journey to the 7

The ministries have evolved over the years and currently include a day care center, a hospice, diocesan ministry, a pre-school and pastoral ministry.

In August, when SCNs gathered in Botswana to mark the occasion, members of SCN Leadership also joined the celebration. Not only was it a time to celebrate the anniversary of SCNs beginning ministry in Botswana, but it was also the Golden Jubilee of Olive Pinto, SCN. Sister Ann gave a touching

SIS TERS OF CHARIT Y OF NA Z ARE TH • VOL . III 2015

tribute to Sister Olive, “Her ability to adjust to persons, places, and situations is such that she was willing to be sent anywhere, at any time, to do any type of work, often on short notice… She has walked miles in the rain and the scorching sun, to meet people, even in the remotest villages, where no one dare to go.”

SCN President Susan Gatz, offered words of thanksgiving for the 15th anniversary.

“We are so grateful for all the gifts and blessings we have received ever since you, Bishop Boniface, invited us to come to Botswana and supported us in our early years here. In the following years we have met so many of you — parishioners, coworkers, our SCN Associates, students — and have felt your love and support, especially, you Bishop Valentine, who are a faithful guide and collaborator for the sake of the Reign of God … Pope Francis has invited us to become experts in communion. The collaboration of the priests, Sisters and co-workers has made our ministry easier and a joy.”

EARTHQUAKE RELIEF EFFORTS CONTINUE

In Kathmandu, Nepal, people begin to sort through damaged homes months after the major earthquakes.

Responding to the devastation Two major earthquakes on April 25 and May 12, killed over 9,000 people and destroyed more than 500,000 homes, affecting an estimated 2.8 million people across Nepal.

The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth immediately began reaching out to those who were struggling.

In the month following the massive earthquakes, people were under intense fear and anxiety.

Tremors continued and the monsoon season arrived as people worked to restore their lives.

Sisters have organized special psychosocial counseling training with the help of experts for teachers, staff and volunteers of the SCN ministry, Navjyoti Center in Kathmandu, Nepal. They have traveled to remote villages to give presence to people and to listen to their traumatic experiences. Three child centers were established to give support to children.

The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth are grateful to donors who have contributed over $300,000 to the Sisters’ ministry of relief work for the victims of the Nepal earthquakes. It is through the support of the SCN Family, that the mission of Christ continues in Nepal in light of such devastating disasters.

“Because God dwells within you, you have come.”

Sisters have been involved in both short-term and longterm recovery efforts, distributing building materials and food for over 300 families in six villages. In some villages, where there is no approach road, Sisters were the first ones to reach with relief

supplies. Sisters brought with them food, water, tarpaulins, hygiene kits and blankets.

OVERWHELMING SUPPORT FROM DONORS

During one relief mission, an older man that the Sisters helped, responded with overwhelming gratitude saying, Ringemit Lepcha, SCN, helps a woman who was “Because God injured during one of the major earthquakes. dwells within you, you have come.

Until today, no one came to our help. Though unknown, you reached out to us and we are grateful.”

The Sisters remain involved with long-term recovery efforts.

SISTERS PLANT SEEDS OF CHANGE Future becomes filled with opportunity Married as a child. Unable to read. Scorned by society. Forced to perform hard physical labor to support her family. This is the reality that many women face in the Musunuru subdivision in Andhra Pradesh, India.

Since 2009, the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth have been working to empower these women through the Preranalaya Social Development Center (PSDC), which serves 16 villages.

Skills training sessions teach women tailoring skills and organic farming methods. A six-month diploma course provides a basic education that offers opportunities for employment. Legal aid sessions help villagers seek justice in the court of law. Rallies and awareness programs are giving women courage to speak out against gender discrimination and child marriage.

“We came to PSDC as voiceless women, but now we are able to raise our voices against injustice done to us,” says a trainee.

In all, nearly 200 women and adolescent girls have been trained and influenced over these past six years. Just as important, seeds are planted that effect change in societal attitudes and practices, offering hope and opportunity for generations to come.

Five women who had dropped out of school were encouraged to complete their education and have passed their class 10 exams.

Two girls who dropped out of school attended skills training sessions and are now employed in the Panchayat (local government) office.

Two others are working in Preranalaya Social Development Center.

Two women who attended the training sessions have started tailoring centers in their own villages, while others sew clothes in their homes and earn money and self-respect.

Young girls have begun to say “no” to child marriage.

Villagers who did not have bathroom facilities now have access to 56 public toilets that were purchased in collaboration with government officials. As a result, the village is cleaner and healthier.

Katamai Catherine Sinku, SCN, speaks to a women after a literacy class.

LAND AND RIGHTS R egaining property rights Karoo and Manju stand as examples of what can happen when women are empowered to stand up for their rights. Karoo and Manju from Bakhtiarpur have lived all their lives on land belonging to upper castes. They were not aware that the land they lived on actually belonged to them. Though their ancestors had paid for the land long ago, they were never given a deed to the land.

The staff of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth’s Community Health Center conducted a survey of landless Mahadalits (oppressed people) around Bakhtiarpur, and learned that this practice of laying claim to land ownership was common and not questioned.

Winds of change

Kitamai Catherine Sinku, SCN, the social work coordinator, did not realize that this simple survey of Mahadalits, would bring the winds of needed change in this age-old custom around Bakhtiarpur. Inspired and empowered, women like Karoo and Manju organized themselves to stand up against crooked landlords and demand what is rightfully theirs.

As a result of the Sisters’ training and awareness programs, the women took the lead to meet with officials demanding that they be given back their land.

Though twice rejected, they did not give up. Karoo approached the court again, and the subdivisional officer gave orders that her land be returned to her without delay. This was a ray of hope for the others to use similar measures to obtain their lost land.

Kiran Kaniyamkandathil, SCN, speaks to one of the patients at the clinic and gives a vaccination to a child.

SCNs in Bakhtiarpur The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth have served people of Bakhtiarpur since 1971. Ministry here had humble beginnings as an outreach health clinic of Nazareth Hospital in Mokama, India. A parish priest often brought the sick to Nazareth Hospital, Mokama, and requested that the Sisters open a permanent clinic in Bakhtiarpur.

To ensure the safety and welfare of pregnant women, the Sisters started The Women’s Health Center. Recognizing the extreme needs of the people, the Sisters opened the doors of their clinic to men as well, and changed the name of the clinic to Community Health Center.

Within 20 years, Bakhtiarpur Community Health Center had become a small hospital.

As the entire concept of holistic health care widened its parameters, the Sister nurses began to teach basic health care measures under the trees or by the riverside — wherever they could engage people’s attention.

Slowly, the Sisters started non-formal schools in many villages. People gradually became literate and understood the importance of education.

Fittingly, Bakhtiarpur means “devotion” in Hindi, and the Sisters there continue to give devoted service to the poor and marginalized, actualizing the SCN charism.

Education at Doors to Hope is a family affair Thirteen-year-old Maria often comes to Doors to Hope with her mother. This SCN ministry in Louisville, Kentucky, provides after-school tutoring, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, a Women’s Group, GED mentoring and computer access.

While Maria gets help with her schoolwork, her mom, Veronica, learns English. Maria spends her time at Doors to Hope studying math, reading, and writing book reports. She is very creative and is now writing and illustrating her own book with the help of the volunteers and staff, many of whom are Sisters or Associates. Maria’s book tells a story of friendship and growing up. Her story focuses on two girls, lifelong friends, and the emotions they feel as one girl has to move away.

Betty MacDougall, SCN, teaches GED classes to a group of adults at Doors to Hope.

Through computer software and ESL volunteers, Maria’s mother, Veronica, is improving her English. Maria would like to improve her translations. “I translate word for word and that’s difficult.” Before coming to Doors to Hope, Maria was having some trouble with her middle school math but with help from Doors to Hope, she says her math grades have improved. “I like the math station. You have your own math book and work from that. They put me on the computer and with a tutor to improve my math.

I like the tutoring.”

Like most eight graders, Maria hasn’t made up her mind on a future career. “I’d like to be involved with the police maybe, or medicine.

Maybe a doctor,” she says. Wherever her journey leads, Maria shares she is getting a boost from her participation at Doors to Hope. It is profoundly helping her, she adds, “I plan to keep coming.”

Caring for the

Sick Kay Winfield, SCN, is in ministry at Saints Mary and Elizabeth Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky, as an intensive care nurse.

A life of ministry Kay Winfield, SCN, spent some time this summer measuring waves, analyzing charts, and administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). But her time was not spent on real charts and live patients; instead she was going through her annual competencies, which test the skills of medical professionals. “I’m measuring waves to determine if there are problems with the beating of the heart.”

“We do everything. We don’t specialize,” she says describing her work and that of her colleagues in the ICU.

By noticing the slight or dramatic changes in heartbeats, Sister Kay is able to identify the myriad of cardio problems of several mock patients. Sister Kay passed the competency test without a hitch.

Once a teacher

Since 2001, Sister Kay has been a registered nurse in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Saints Mary and Elizabeth Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. The days she spends with live patients and real charts, her skills are used in the areas of coronary, surgical, neuropathy, pulmonary, and other areas.

13

SIS TERS OF CHARIT Y OF NA Z ARE TH • VOL . III 2015

Because of the level of care required for her unit, Sister Kay is usually responsible for two patients at a time. She normally works a 12-hour shift, two days in a row.

Sister Kay’s first ministry was not medicine. She was a teacher of physical education at Presentation Academy in Louisville for 10 years. She also spent her time coaching volleyball, track and softball. Her duties sometimes included sports medicine. This sparked an interest in Sister Kay, which led to her becoming an emergency medical technician, followed by study at Bellarmine University in Louisville to become a registered nurse.

S C N FA M I LY.O R G

She describes Saints Mary and Elizabeth Hospital as a community hospital that has been serving generations of families in the south side of Louisville. The hospital was founded by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in 1874, and is now owned and operated by KentuckyOne Health.

Pictured here and below, Kay Winfield, SCN, demonstrates aspects of a competency test in nursing.

“It’s important to be a presence. It’s how we relate to one another.

We have doctors from different religions. The fact that we are a Catholic hospital doesn’t mean we preach being Catholic. It means we aren’t just disease focused. There is a spirit here, a sense when you walk into the building. Our patients are more than the disease we are treating. I think that comes through to our patients.”

Sister Kay doesn’t normally introduce herself as a Sister to her patients. But there have been times when the patient figures it out and she’s pleased when they recognize it.

“I don’t separate being a nurse and a Sister but I’m not a chaplain. I will call a chaplain if needed. My role is medical care.”

Some also can tell she was once a teacher by the way she interacts and explains things. “I’m glad I brought that with me and it’s a part of what I still do,” reflects Sister Kay. Healing patients and sending them home brings joy to Sister Kay and her colleagues. But that is not always the case. Losing a patient will never be easy, and telling the family is the hardest part of her job. She is always honest with her patients and their families, even when it’s not the news they want to hear.

“My job is to help someone heal but sometimes it’s to tell them they won’t. That is a very hard thing to do, but there’s a sense that it’s right. I am honest with them.”

“I still cry when my patients die. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to that.”

Community’s support critical She gets comfort from her SCN community. “There is no way I can do this, the way I do it, without being an SCN and being a part of the community. It’s a source of strength, support, spirituality and understanding.”

“You have to have a lot of love for the people you take care of.”

Sister Kay says she cannot see herself in any other ministry right now. “I just don’t think I’d want to do anything else.” And she’s not interested in an administration position. “It was the same with education. It never occurred to me to be the principal.

I always wanted to be the teacher.”

As Sister Kay finished up her skills testing, she noted that there is one thing missing — the patient. Yes, reading charts and taking vitals is critical, but she says “the most important thing a nurse does is to look at her patient.”

“You have to have a lot of love for the people you take care of.”

Tess Browne, SCN, and Eugenie Coakley, SCNA, at a meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, addressing advocacy for the homeless.

SPEAKING OUT FOR THE HOMELESS SCNs and Associates in Boston, Massachusetts, have been playing key roles in advocating on behalf of Boston’s homeless population this year, especially after this past winter with record breaking snow storms and the sudden closing of a major shelter.

Boston’s homeless population found itself in a crisis when the bridge connecting mainland Boston to one of the city’s islands, Long Island, was suddenly condemned by federal transportation authorities. With the bridge condemned and access to the island shut off, the mayor ordered that the island be evacuated within 24 hours. More than 600 homeless people and patients had to be relocated. Possessions and equipment were left behind and the buildings abandoned. Suddenly, Long Island, which was home to Boston’s largest homeless shelter and detoxification programs, and even a summer camp for at-risk children, became a ghost town. And many of the homeless people that had been evacuated, had no place to go.

15

SCN Family advocates Concerned about the situation, Eugenie Coakley, SCNA, and Tess Browne, SCN, joined an organization called Religious Leaders for Long Island Refugees. The goal was to influence city leaders to build a long-term, dignified, safe space.

The SCN Brockton, Massachusetts, faith group participated in a postcard campaign directed to the mayor. Sister Tess participated in key meetings with the mayor’s staff, and Eugenie joined efforts to engage the press.

With a greater media spotlight on the homeless, the mayor announced plans to build a new, bigger shelter on the mainland. As a stop gap, cots were installed in lobbies, gyms, and a host of agencies with limited hours of nighttime access. However, in late December 2014, as the temperature dipped, there was deep concern that homeless people could be at

SIS TERS OF CHARIT Y OF NA Z ARE TH • VOL . III 2015

risk of dying. Members of the Religious Leaders for Long Island Refugees decided the best option to deal with the crisis, was to open two day-time, drop-in “warming shelters” at two churches, starting Martin Luther King weekend and running through March.

About $57,000 was needed to hire an experienced manager, and to provide training, food, and equipment. More than twice that amount was raised as local churches responded with an abundance of volunteers and donations. The additional funding allowed one shelter to remain open through the spring.

For SCN Family members Tess and Eugenie, this last year has been a whirlwind experience of collaboration — with area religious, with one another, and with the larger Massachusetts SCN and Associate groups. Though that crisis has been averted, all are aware that there is much to do with regard to ongoing care for the homeless population.

I GAVE THEM ALL THE LOVE I HAVE Meet Sister Helen Chervenak “I always enjoyed children … I gave them all the love I have,” Helen Chervenak, SCN, reflects upon a lifetime of teaching. Though she is no longer in the classroom, she can often be found visiting St. Sebastian in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she was in ministry for 37 years. This last year, she led students in a drive to collect plastic lids to be sent to the Motherhouse in Nazareth, Kentucky, where Sisters could repurpose the lids with craft materials into drink coasters. While on retreat in Florida, Sister Helen also collected lids, walking along the ocean looking for plastic caps and lids that the waves had washed up onto the beach.

Sister Helen likes to help others and bring people together. Always ready with a smile or a joke, Sister Helen believes in making others happy.

“Whatever you do, you have to have fun with it … even when it comes to the Lord,” Sister Helen says with a wink.

On most days, Sister Helen can be found taking Sisters from St. Louise Convent in Pittsburgh to doctor’s appointments. If there’s an event or festival that needs help, Sister Helen is often first to volunteer.

Sister Helen earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education, and was an educator for 57 years. In her early days with the Congregation, she was often assigned to a different school each year. Sister Helen met each new ministry with grace, “You have to accept that it’s God’s will … you don’t question it.”

Eventually, Sister Helen joined the staff at St. Sebastian, and that is where she stayed for over three decades. It was a rich ministry that brought her much joy. Sister Helen recalls one student in particular who changed her life, a young boy who had heart problems. The boy’s father wanted the child to be able to go to school with kids his age. His dad asked if the child could come to St. Sebastian for half-day kindergarten, Sister Helen didn’t think twice, “You just bring him to me and I’ll take good care of him.” The boy was much loved at the school where students and teachers kept an eye on him.

Sadly, says Sister Helen, “When he was in second grade he died. He’s one of my patron saints that I pray to all of the time.”

“Whatever you do, you have to have fun with it …”

Not only has Sister Helen loved every minute teaching, but she has loved religious life as well. She laughs for a moment, recalling that in her high school year book she had “undecided” written under her name with regard to the future. When she finally told her teachers at high school that she had decided to go into the convent after graduating, one teacher replied, “I’ll become a Bishop before you become a nun.” Sister Helen celebrated 65 years in the Congregation this year.

SCNs Luke Boiarski and Nancy Gerth have helped the group take shape, but Sister Luke emphasizes that it is the members themselves who asked to form a group. Sisters Nancy and Luke merely act as facilitators. Through Charity Alive gatherings, volunteer projects, mission trips, and associating with the Sisters, the members of Charity Alive have formed close relationships with one another and members of the Congregation. They give service, deepen their spirituality, and build relationships.

Ta-Naa’ feels that this time together has deeply impacted her life. In May, Ta-Naa’ was awarded the Mother Catherine Spalding Service Learning Award during graduation ceremonies from Spalding University. According to the university, “Such recognition is given to a graduating senior

who embodies the spiritual values of faith, hope and charity, which emulate Sisters of Charity of Nazareth founder, Mother Catherine Spalding.”

Ta-Naa’ Davis received the Catherine Spalding Award at Spalding University.

SIS TERS OF CHARIT Y OF NA Z ARE TH • VOL . III 2015

As a student in the School of Social Work pursuing her bachelor’s degree, Ta-Naa’ balanced her scholastic pursuits with her professional experience in family support services at the Family Scholar House in Louisville, Kentucky, and her extensive volunteer work with mission trips, working with Wayside Christian Mission, and founding the campus chapter of Best Buddies.

Shannon Evans, another founding member of Charity Alive, also graduated college over the last year. Her time spent with the Sisters directly impacted the path she chose in college. Shannon’s first trip with the Congregation was to Chattanooga, Tennessee, with the SCN Disaster Relief Team to help with cleanup after a tornado. Shannon realized that emergency management is a growing field as she helped respond to the devastation caused by the tornado. Moved by her experience, she decided to pursue a college degree in emergency management studies. After the trip, Shannon sent flowers to Sister Luke, with a card that read, “Thank you for changing my life.”

For the Charity Alive members, there have been many “lifechanging moments.” In May, five members made a two-year commitment to continue to journey with the SCN community as young adult associates. The group spoke of their deep passion for the Sisters. “Nazareth is home, our safe haven, and our stable factor in our life,” says Shannon. “In an ever-changing world, it is a beautiful feeling to be able to travel there with those you care about, and refocus your wants and desires in alignment with your values.”

LIVING OUT THE MISSION For Sisters, care of the earth begins at home

With the recent release of Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si, on Care for Our Common Home,” efforts are being stepped up around the world to care for the environment. Pope Francis says, “sister earth cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her.”

Being good stewards of the environment has been a way of life for the Congregation almost from day one of the community’s founding. The priority is voiced in the SCN Mission Statement and modeled in many aspects of community life.

At SCN convents and ministries around the world, the land and the buildings are thoroughly taken care of, recycling, and conservation of water and energy are carried out daily. On the Nazareth Motherhouse campus where the buildings date back to the 1820s, it can sometimes be tricky to preserve the historic character of buildings, while at the same time taking steps to make the campus as “green” as possible. Recent upgrades to the Motherhouse include solar panels and low flush toilets. By taking such sustainability steps, the Sisters are carrying out their mission to care for the earth.

“Sustainability and care for the earth

is a moral imperative, a way of living out the gospel,” says Brenda Gonzales, SCN. Sister Brenda can often be found tending plants in the community garden, capturing water in basins, and hanging laundry outside to dry. She joins other Sisters in being mindful of conserving resources.

Sister Brenda and Mike Schneider, director of maintenance, both take great care to carry out conservation and sustainability measures. Because the campus is always abuzz with people coming and going — the dozens of Sisters who live in the Motherhouse, the residents who call the Villages home, employees, and the thousands of visitors who come to visit or attend a retreat — by incorporating “green” measures into the buildings and daily life, Sisters model care for the earth. Such behaviors and measures to make buildings “green” educate and provide examples to guests about how to incorporate sustainability measures into their own lives. Even the commitment of the Sisters to live in community with one another models good stewardship as they share living spaces, meals, and often personal items with one another, and most important, daily prayer.

Great care is also taken to make sure no space goes to waste. Buildings that are no longer in use for one ministry

are modified to accommodate new ministries. Take for example, Nazareth Villages, home to approximately 150 residents. What at one time was living, classroom, and meeting spaces for students at Nazareth College was transformed into affordable housing for the elderly and disabled.

Gardens, bushes and trees are carefully cared for and nurtured with water from campus ponds, and when storms or age destroys trees, another tree is planted in its place. Nature lovers are often drawn to campus areas like the labyrinth for meditation or the community gardens which yields a bounty of vegetables each year.

Most convents in India and Nepal also embrace solar energy, especially where there is a severe shortage of electricity.

In one of the rural areas — Kutuderi — where there is no electricity at all, Sisters run a medical dispensary with solar energy, preserving the vaccinations and important life saving medicines in a refrigerator. In many of the Sisters’ hostels, children study with solar lamps.

The SCN mission statement names, “care for the earth,” as a vital part of the mission. From Nazareth to Nepal, all SCN ministries embrace sharing resources and modeling sustainability.
