Dear Friends, This indeed is a special time as 2014 continues to beckon us to embrace life in new and meaningful ways. New is the year, new are the opportunities, and new is the spirit of the members of the SCN family as you each make a difference by sharing your goodness with those in need. Surely GOODNESS is contagious, and it catches on …

For me, personally, the past months have been ones of many rich blessings as I moved from India to Nazareth, Ky., embracing a new ministry and life, and new ways of looking at our world reality. Being at Nazareth during these winter months, I see such awesomeness in nature as it waits in full confidence for the unfurling of spring. I experience this freshness and energized spirit in so many of you, God-experienced women and men, whose presence makes a difference as you witness Gospel values, promote oneness and build relationships.

If we think about it, the year 2014 is going to be a milestone in many respects. It will mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I and the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The peace initiatives already begun in different corners of the world to commemorate these events remind us of the need to work toward nonviolence in our being and doing.

The Catholic Church is experiencing freshness in Pope Francis who is constantly broadening the margins, showing us that it is possible to live differently. He encourages us to cherish and nourish warm relationships and reminds us that to be holy is also to be human like Jesus in all situations. The SCN General Assembly mandated its members to move into the future with joyful hope amidst the hard global realities we face, especially for women who are striving for dignity and equality.

As our SCN Leadership Team moved around these past months participating in some of the events recorded in this issue of The Journey, we experienced the genuine goodness of the people who collaborate and share their resources in concrete ways. The articles in this issue bring alive many of the significant experiences of generosity and connectedness that we witnessed. Among the events highlighted, the energy and enthusiasm that could be felt at the first ever Join the Journey Luncheon which took place in Louisville, Ky. We sincerely thank you for your support and confidence in the charism and mission of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth and for helping us to build a network of relationships for ever more meaningful collaborative ventures.

I hope that 2014 is turning out to be for you a time of mindful living, of sharing your goodness, and seeing the world with new eyes. More importantly, I pray that your GOODNESS truly becomes contagious and catches on!

In prayerful communion,

Sangeeta Ayithamattam, SCN,Vice President

JOIN THE JOURNEY

Hundreds of people attended the first ever Join the Journey Luncheon in Louisville, Ky. The event was heart warming and inspiring as presenters highlighted the many ways to be involved with the SCN Congregation and ministries.

The Join the Journey luncheon held in Louisville, Ky., on Oct. 30, 2013, brought together 300 friends of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth to hear about ministries, converse with members and offer support.

During the one-hour event, Jean West, an Emmy award-winning broadcaster, served as emcee. As part of her welcoming remarks, she told the crowd of her first encounter with the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. Her husband returned from a volunteer assignment at a local homeless shelter with a bloody nose and broken glasses one New Year’s Eve. He told her that he “took a punch for a nun!” It seems that the SCN Director of the shelter had refused to allow a man who had too much to drink to enter the shelter. Enraged, he attempted to hit the Sister, and Jean West’s husband, Michael Losavio, intercepted the punch! She said she knew then that the SCNs were “a force to be reckoned with.”

Mayor Greg Fischer greeted the crowd and gave updates on his efforts to make Louisville known as a “city of compassion.” It was noted that the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, through the Congregation’s long history in Louisville, are models of that compassion.

Susan Gatz, SCN president, spoke about the vision of the Congregation. She shared her personal story of choosing to enter the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth and how she continues to be inspired by the Sisters in ministry. She said, “One of the blessings of serving in leadership is that I get to be with so many members of the SCN family — our Sisters, Associates, and collaborators, benefactors and volunteers — all over the world … women and men who have the Gospel values of Jesus and a 3

vision of our world based in compassion, peace, justice and caring relationships. I can close my eyes and see so many places where our Sisters, Associates and collaborators are bringing the vision to life.”

SCN Associate Felix Garza also shared his story, reflecting upon the close relationship he, his wife and children have with the Congregation. It was his relationship with the SCNs that brought him from Texas to Kentucky, where he has chosen to raise a family. Felix currently serves as president of the National Farm Worker Ministry, representing the SCN Congregation.

During the luncheon, there was hardly a dry eye following a video testimonial from Haseena, a young girl who was born in a brothel in India. Haseena was deserted by her mother, and she explained that the woman who raised her was “not a soft-hearted woman.” Haseena came to live at SCN ministry Asha Niwas, “House of Hope,” and is now filled with bright dreams for her future. “I want to be an engineer — a software engineer,” she said. “It is my dream, and it will surely come true.”

David Karem, president of the Louisville Waterfront Development Corporation and former lawmaker, concluded the hour by speaking about his mother, Mary Jane Karem, who was taught by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. She earned her Juris Doctorate at a time few women

achieved such honors. She was awarded the Caritas Medal from Spalding University, an honor that she cherished. David told of the impact the Sisters have had upon his family and the impact the SCNs make upon the lives of others. He asked the attendees to consider offering vital financial support for the ministries of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.

Those in attendance responded with generosity, energy and interest in being part of the Congregation now and into the future. “The gathering exceeded all our expectations,”said Patsy O’Toole, Director of Congregational Advancement. “We are overwhelmed with gratitude.”

THE NEXT JOIN THE JOURNEY LUNCHEON WILL BE HELD ON OCT. 29, 2014 AT THE OLMSTED IN LOUISVILLE, KY. Contact Leslie Wilson at 502-348-1551 or lwilson@scnky.org if you would like to attend.

SISTERS UNVEIL ENERGY VISION STATEMENT Braving bitter cold, and wrapped head to toe, dozens turned out to hear women religious and members of the interfaith community voice concerns about risks related to fracking and the need to explore and embrace clean energy solutions.

The event was organized by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, the Dominican Sisters of Peace, and the Loretto Community. All three Congregations are very active in a statewide effort to keep the Bluegrass Pipeline and other natural gas pipelines out of Kentucky.

This collaboration led to the creation of an Energy Vision Statement which was officially unveiled on the grounds of Boone Farm in Nelson County, Dec. 10.

The statement, a beautifully written document, outlines a set of simple spiritual and ecological tenets. It was read aloud before a gathering of nearly 70 people, as representatives from each of the Congregations took turns sharing passages. The event took place outdoors, in a space nestled between a lake and fields planted with winter crops. The scenic Boone family farm is located near the proposed route of the Bluegrass Pipeline and also near the Abbey of Gethsemani. The Energy Vision Statement reads:

As an increasing number of pipelines carrying natural gas liquids are proposed to connect hydraulic fracturing (“ fracking”) operations in the northeast with chemical processing plants in the south, we, members of three religious communities in the “Kentucky Holy Land” — the Dominican Sisters of Peace, the Loretto Community, and the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth — have joined countless other citizens in opposing the construction of such pipelines in our state.

We stand with all those who oppose the widespread risks to natural ecosystems and human well-being caused by the rush to achieve national “energy independence” through the creation of vast infrastructures for the extraction, refinement, and combustion of more fossil fuels. We urge instead the development of national policies and infrastructures that will facilitate a swift and steady transition to renewable energy sources.

Because of our love for God and for God’s creation, Earth and all its species, we here offer a set of beliefs, rejections, and commitments. We invite you to join us.

WE BELIEVE that Earth does not belong to us, but that we belong to Earth, our home planet that is alive with the creative energy of God. God’s desire that all creation may have fullness of life means that we are called to co-create by cooperating with all life systems. We believe that we are now also called to face the potential catastrophe of global climate change and, in solidarity with many others, to help solve this problem. We believe that cooperation and ingenuity can make renewable energy resources efficient and affordable within this decade.

(L-R): SCNs Brenda Gonzales, Sangeeta Ayithamattam, Susan Gatz, and Rosemarie Kirwan, were among the SCNs taking part in the unveiling of the Energy Vision Statement.

Sisters of Charity of Nazareth • Vol. I 2014

WE REJECT the assumption that access to the resources needed by all Earth’s people can be limited to the ownership and profit-taking of a few. We reject corporation tactics that threaten, exploit, and coerce landowners and residents and that risk public health and safety. We reject an economic system that promotes wasteful consumption of energy and other natural resources. We reject the extraction of energy sources by plundering Earth, endangering and destroying forests, wildlife, flora, the health of all species and polluting land, air, and water. We reject the belief that climate change is not caused by human activity, and we equally reject the assumption that humanity is incapable of making the changes needed to reverse the trends leading to climate change.

WE COMMIT ourselves to care for God’s creation, upholding both the ideal of the common good now and the well-being of future generations. We will learn, teach, and model alternative ways of viewing energy sourcing and conservation that reduce risks to water, land, air, climate, and human safety. We commit ourselves to use our spiritual and social resources and our public credibility in all possible ways to promote the transition from fossil fuel energy to renewable energy resources. We commit ourselves to stand in solidarity with those land-owners and residents who resist the abuses of corporate power and greed. We will advocate for adequate government regulation of all energy sources. We will examine the options of divestment and shareholder actions for our investments in fossil fuel industries and for increasing our investments in renewable energy sources.

To date, the Energy Vision Statement has been signed by more than 60 faith communities and 500 individuals. To sign the petition, visit the website scnfamily.org. A 36,000-name petition against the pipeline has also been delivered to Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear. www.scnfamily.org

PROMOTING CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY In the early 1970s the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth became aware that corporate investments could be managed in a manner which produced significant social good. With this in mind, in 1972, the SCN Committee on Corporate Responsibility was formed.

Today, the chair of the Committee on Corporate Responsibility is Barbara Joseph Lammers, SCN. She followed in the footsteps of Lucille Cosby, SCN, who spent many years in this position. Sister Lucille is well respected in the corporate community and spent years networking, carrying out research on companies, and creating a database. Sister Barbara Joseph served on the Committee for Corporate Responsibility from 1981–1985, and became chair in 2012. The chair is tasked with using the SCN’s proxy vote in Congregational investments to promote SCN values on issues such as human trafficking, water use, and the environment.

“We can make a difference through our vote, even five percent of the vote has the power to make change.”

The Committee on Corporate Responsibility frequently makes recommendations, including withholding investments in companies involved in abortifacients, human cloning, weapons, tobacco products, nuclear power, and pornography. The committee also screens against animal testing and genetically modified food. The values, directions and criteria which guide the investment decisions are drawn from the Gospel and Catholic teachings.

The committee looks at the source of the products a company makes. They do research to find information that might point to poor working conditions, for example, sweatshops. The committee will then use its power of submitting a resolution, voting by proxy, or recommending to withhold investments

to avoid participation in such a harmful activity, and to use their role as stockholder for social stewardship and to promote common good. If there is the opportunity, Sister Barbara Joseph attends shareholder meetings in person, where she may speak on behalf of the Sisters.

One question the Committee on Corporate Responsibility faced recently is whether to move away from holding some energy stocks. The current stance is to use these share holdings to be in a position to help make change. “Without a stake in these share holdings, we would not be able to propose resolutions,” says Sister Barbara Joseph.

One of the early goals was to see more women and minorities on the boards of corporations. “When we first started this we seldom saw women on the boards of directors, we seldom saw minorities, but now you see them more often,” says Sister Barbara.

Have we changed some of the products companies make or the faces on boards? I don’t know that for sure,” she says. “But, I think there are changes that we do make.” Adding, “We can make a difference through our vote, even five percent of the vote has the power to make change. I encourage everyone to open their proxy statements each year, to read it, and vote. It is your voice, you own it. You have the right to your opinion. If everyone would do this, it would make great change come about.”

The Committee on Corporate Responsibility includes SCN members Rosemarie Kirwin, Charlene Jacobs, Janice Campbell, Paris Slapikas, and Sangeeta Ayithamattam. They currently meet four times annually and continue the call to exercise faithful, competent and socially responsible stewardship in the management of financial resources.

Celebrating 125 Years

Members of the SCN family traveled to Little Rock, Ark., to help St. Vincent Health System celebrate a very special anniversary.

The system, which now includes three hospitals, was founded when the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth opened Little Rock’s first hospital, Charity Hospital (later renamed St. Vincent Infirmary), in 1888, with a staff of six Sisters and 10 beds. Sister Margaret Meisner, SCN, who is in ministry with St. Vincent Health System rejoiced in the milestone, “After 125 years, we should celebrate!”

A series of events marked the occasion, including a celebratory Mass in the St. Vincent Infirmary Chapel. It was concelebrated

by Monsignor Francis Malone, Chaplains Father Francis Damoah, SVD, and Father George Sanders, and diocesan ethicist Father Jason Tyler, STL. Several dignitaries and guests were in attendance, including Peter Banko, health system president and CEO, and 11 Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, several of whom had been in ministry on the Little Rock campus.

In his homily, Monsignor Malone reflected upon the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth and their lasting impact. He said the steadfast example of their charism is on ready display, even as their physical presence has dissipated. “Anyone today associated with this hospital stands on the shoulders of these women, who came to a state that was not very Catholic, and anti-Catholic in some places,” he said. “They gave to us not only the gift of their lives but a lesson in how to be charitable.”

SCN President Susan Gatz was asked to be one of two Sisters presenting gifts during Mass. “We’re delighted to have had the opportunity to come and celebrate,” Sister Susan said. “When we took a tour earlier today, it was wonderful to see the way the

employees carry out the charism of charity …”

St. Vincent was the first of the Congregation’s hospitals to be located outside Kentucky, the home state of the Sisters. Initially named The Charity Hospital for its focus on the city’s poor populations, it was built as the fulfillment of a vow made by two Little Rock residents. In 1878, with yellow fever decimating the South as far north as Memphis, Alexander Hager and his wife promised God if the city was spared they would establish the city’s first hospital. There was no outbreak in Little Rock and the Hagers kept their promise. The original hospital was located downtown, near where the Clinton presidential library is now. By 1906, the facility not only operated a three-story, 50-bed hospital (to be doubled in just four short years), but also opened the state’s first hospital-based school of nursing. In 1938, the hospital’s first maternity ward was opened in recognition of the Congregation’s 50 years in Little Rock. By the mid-1950s, the institution relocated to 40 acres at what was then Hayes (today University Avenue) and Markham streets. The Little Rock campus has enjoyed great success and expansion over the years.

EXHIBIT RECEIVES PRAISE

A traveling display depicting the rich health care legacy of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth is making its way across several states. The first stop was over a year ago at St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center in Little Rock, Ark. The unveiling took place within days of the SCN Congregation officially turning 200. As the Congregation celebrated its bicentennial, St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center was marking its 125th anniversary.

The display has been shared on Nazareth Campus, made two appearances at Flaget Memorial, Bardstown, Ky., and has traveled to London, Ky., where Saint Joseph London is located.

Lisa Rutherford with Saint Joseph London, helped to coordinate the arrival and set up of the display. “So many here remarked on the exhibit and I saw a number of folks, both from the general public and our staff stopping to take time to read about the history. Many came by to tell me how much it meant to have it here,” shared Lisa. “Again, thank you for allowing us to share this special display with our community. It was the perfect addition to our Purpose Tour.” The exhibit is headed to other facilities in Kentucky, Tennessee and Pennsylvania in 2014.

School of Nursing Grads Connect

They carry a legacy in Louisville and beyond, nurses educated at St. Joseph Infirmary School of Nursing. The former St. Joseph’s Hospital was one of the first hospitals built in Kentucky at the turn of the century. The nursing school connected to it was also one of the first, graduating over 1,500 students.

Every year, these graduates gather to reconnect and to reminisce.

Last fall, dozens attended a reunion at the University of Louisville Alumni Club. The room was packed as these SCN family members came together to celebrate.

The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth founded St. Joseph’s Infirmary, which opened in downtown Louisville, Ky., in 1836. Sisters also began offering a formal program in 1919 at the hospital, to educate nurses.

At the fall reunion, SCN Barbara Peterson, Alumnae Representative, offered the opening prayer. Also in attendance, SCNs Miriam Elizabeth Brown, Martha Discher, and Mary Middendorf who were greeted by former students stopping by their table to catch up.

Sister Barbara has attended 15 reunions and is always eager to share how the nursing program was outstanding and rigorous, with many nurses in the Louisville area trained by the Sisters.

Sister Barbara further notes that St. Joseph nurses have distinguished themselves both professionally and charitably, and have been recognized for their leadership in health care. Sister Barbara loves how the the nursing students became close during their training and have stayed in touch with one another.

One of the key people who help keep the grads connected is Marian Schwinn. She has kept a large ledger since 1948 of all

members and their graduation date. She has always kept up with alum, even collecting obituaries. Marian keeps a handwritten record which has become invaluable since some records were lost when St. Joseph was sold. Marian is also key to helping to organize the reunions and is always willing to create displays of mementos at the celebrations. One of the treasures that many hold dear is the nursing pin. It bears the following motto, “I shed my life’s blood for thee.”

In 2000, Marjorie Glaser wrote a book about the nursing school entitled, “The giving of self: A history of St. Joseph Infirmary School of Nursing.” She was in attendance at this year’s gathering, and continues to receive words of thanks for her book and leadership in health care.

The infirmary has a rich history. In the 1920s, the infirmary was relocated from downtown Louisville to Flat Lick Road — now Preston Highway. The modern 324-bed hospital was recognized at the time as the largest health care facility in the region. An additional nursing wing, a nursing student dormitory and an all-purpose gymnasium/auditorium were added in later years. In 1927, a grove of trees with a grotto for prayer and meditation was dedicated. The infirmary and nursing school closed in the 1970s.

The property upon which it was located, along Eastern Parkway, now serves as University Park Apartments where many University of Louisville students live. The former hospital-nursing dormitory has been renovated and is called Lourdes Hall. It serves as a residence for senior citizens.

Though the school itself is gone, SCNs are grateful that its graduates come together each year, to celebrate the relationships they formed and their fulfilling nursing careers. In this way, St. Joseph Infirmary and Nursing School live on.

Sharing Our History History comes alive at Nazareth when guests visit the Archival Center. This year as the 50th anniversary of President John Kennedy’s death neared, SCNs shared a number of items related to encounters with the Kennedy family.

The items were on display during an Open House on Nov. 21, 2013. The exhibit included pieces from a set of china purchased with a donation to the Sisters from former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and a note of thanks from her for helping to deliver her son, John, at Georgetown University’s hospital on Nov. 25, 1960. The Sisters were in administration at Georgetown from 1947 to 1963. The handwritten note, written not long after her husband, John Kennedy, had been elected president but was not yet sworn in, says: “I would like you to use this to get something special for Christmas for all the nuns who were so good to me. Thank you very much.

Sincerely, Jacqueline Kennedy.”

son were fine. News reports mentioned hospital administrator, Sister Mary Evangelist, and how the Sisters accommodated the growing crowd of reporters at the hospital. One reporter noted Sister Mary Evangelist’s helpful nature, describing her as a “charming nun.”

Also on display, the Congregation’s other “encounters” with presidents including a note written by President Abraham Lincoln, as a “safeguard” protecting the Sisters, their academy and property from any “depredations” by Union soldiers. There were also displays highlighting the education of President Zachary Taylor’s daughter Sarah Knox Taylor, and five nieces of Jefferson Davis, at Nazareth Academy.

“We welcome people from the community to come visit the Archives …”

In addition to the note and china, the display included portraits of John and Jackie Kennedy and newspaper clippings. The articles noted how the Sisters helped deliver “John John,” who had to be delivered earlier than expected, after Jackie was rushed to the hospital with pregnancy complications. A Cesarian was performed, and both mother and 9

Archivist Kathy Hertel-Baker says many amazing artifacts and wonderful stories can be found in the SCN archives. Among the stories, how Union troops during the Civil War came upon Nazareth hoping to secure much needed provisions. Some of the young men were caught spying on female students attending Nazareth Academy as Anna Blanche McGill recounts in her book, “The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth Kentucky (page 142).” “Within Nazareth’s secluded precincts one day appeared a foraging corps. Mother Columba www.scnfamily.org

consented to share her stores, provided that no annoyance was given by the soldiers. The captain gave his promise, which some of his men disrespectfully broke; a group of them crowded toward the windows of the recreation hall, endeavoring to engage the attention of the schoolgirls who were already in a condition of excitement and anxiety. Immediately, Mother Columba with her marvelous dignity passed into the yard; one of the officers stepped up and asked if she wished anything. ‘I am looking for a gentleman,’ said she, and the words proved sufficient to disperse the offenders.”

That story retold for decades within the Congregation, recently took an exciting turn when a researcher from the Archives of American Art contacted Kathy by email. The researcher had come into possession of a journal kept by Henry Mosler, a Union soldier and later, an illustrator with the Saturday Evening Post.

The researcher was attempting to confirm that a passage from the Civil War journal possibly referenced Nazareth. The young man had written: “next morning we again started early in the morning marched within one mile of Bardstown where we rolled for rest. Meanwhile for curiosity I traveled down this lane which wound its way into more and more picturesque scenery untill we beheld rising above the beautiful foliage a Castle (so it appeared)

I could hardly believe my eyes that really it existed or whether I was dreaming. The major and myself rode on towards this sight, when we where surprised to find ourselves in the Court entering a beautiful Broad Gate passing closer we found it to be a nonery (nunnery). We watered our horses in the tank that was placed there for that purpose, dismounted and surveyed the church in the rear where we found nons (nuns) strolling in their white caps and pale faces further, and we saw a group of soldiers who had gone for water looking in the high and gothic shaped windows giggling and laughing and enjoying themselves highly which immediately drew our attention and the first thing I knew I found myself also staring in the large window into the large school room where about a hundred of beautiful girls now promenading up down joking and laughing at the soldiers as they, but to tell the truth I never beheld more beautiful girls than I saw there...”

Among the other precious items to be shared with the public, a letter written by St. Vincent de Paul in 1648. There was also an autographed memoir by Cesar Chavez, labor leader of the Hispanic migrant farm workers and civil rights activist. The book had been signed and given as a gift to Carol Anne Messina, SCN. Sister Carol Anne was an outspoken advocate who ministered with the United Farm Workers Union and worked to get the short-handled hoe outlawed in Texas. The hoe, which required workers to stoop for several hours a day, left workers with aching backs. Carol Anne’s ministry and the ministries of several other SCNs were highlighted during the Open House.

More information about the SCN Archival Center can be found on the SCN family website. “We welcome people from the community to come visit the Archives and see what we have here,” says Kathy.

A Life of Music

The Music Institute of Bardstown recently honored Alice Adams, SCN, who has made a lasting impact on musicians across Kentucky, and beyond. The night included a concert and the unveiling of a scholarship in Sister Alice’s name.

Touched by the evening of music and well wishes, Sister Alice shared that she has had many interests and many ministries, but her true love has always been music.

This passion was put to words by Sister Alice in a poem she penned.

Within once feeble fingertips I hold at last, A power sourced by God By creatures cast, A language wrought from tone And rhythm’s choice, that captures for my spirit tongue, for soul, a voice.

Sister Alice taught music for well over 25 years. She had retired as a music teacher when she began volunteering with the local Suzuki program. She managed the financial payments and assisted with the scheduling of classes. Others noticed how she was willing to help with anything that needed to be done even the set up of tables and chairs for recitals.

Sister Alice is passionate about the Suzuki program, a specific method for teaching music development. The central belief of Suzuki is that all people can and will learn from their environment so it is essential to create a positive environment for learning music. For example, the founder Shin’ichi Suzuki, a Japanese violinist, believed that music could be taught to children as young as pre-school age, that these children could learn to play the violin if learning steps were small enough, and if the instrument was scaled down to fit their body. In Bardstown, students are able to take violin and piano lesson using this method. Constance Simms, coordinator of the Suzuki program at the Music Institute, says Sister Alice is to be thanked for her 13 years of faithful service and for her tireless dedication to developing a love of music in children.

Music has been a large part of Sister Alice’s life, as has her faith. A native of Louisville,Ky., Sister Alice spent her grade and high school years being educated by the Sisters of Loretto, whom she says she loves dearly. After experiencing a call to become a woman religious, Alice joined the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in 1947. Her ministries have been many and varied. Not only is she a gifted musician but she is also gifted in managing finances. She was in ministry with the Congregation as a provincial counselor, assistant to the treasurer general, and director of ministry. Sister Alice also served with Nazareth Arts for Life as a financial secretary.

For 14 years, she was Director of Liturgy and Worship in the St. Joseph parish of Bardstown. She was responsible for 11

Sisters of Charity of Nazareth • Vol. I 2014

the music ministry at the church as well as coordinating liturgical ministries, including the ministry of lectors, Eucharistic ministers, ushers, and greeters. In June of 1999 when she retired from this position, she was thanked for her work with scores of volunteers, and, it was noted that her dedication and commitment had served the prayer life of this parish family well.

Years ago, at the age of 80, while being interviewed for a biography, Sister Alice shared how she had enjoyed very good health in spite of two serious bouts of cancer, saying that though it was very traumatic, it was also a transforming period in her life. She spoke of how she challenged herself to turn the experience into something positive.

She decided to search out others who were facing similar health situations and offered to walk with them through their treatment from the biopsy, to surgery and follow-up. She says that sharing on this personal level was a rare privilege.

Now 88, Sister Alice continues to have many life giving interests from enjoying nature, to tackling challenging puzzles, to volunteering, but she says she can not imagine her life without music. She shares that since her teenage years, music has been her friend and constant companion.

Given that, she notes, the recent recognition and the establishment of the Sister Alice Scholarship Fund means more than can truly be put into words.

Remembering St. Cecilia’s

These photos from 1877 (left) and 1906 (right), are of students and SCNs at St. Cecilia School in the Portland neighborhood of Louisville, Ky.

For nearly 100 years, the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth ministered at St. Cecilia School in Louisville, Ky. The Catholic school opened in 1873 and in 1876, SCNs joined the staff. SCNs ministered in various capacities for a century, with over 200 SCNs teaching in the classrooms.

Members of the SCN Congregation and other women religious were recently recognized for their contributions to the school.

On Nov. 17, 2013, 11 SCNs attended the Sunday Liturgy and reception at Good Shepherd Church. The school’s rich history was on display at the event, with a number of facets noted, including the sense of belonging at the school, and its eventual transition in 1971 to a regional school — Community Catholic Elementary.

In 1978, SCN Barbara Von Bokern began serving as the principal.

Joe Wathen, a student from 1987 to 1996, recalls Sister Barbara’s kindness to him. “When I was in kindergarten, some mornings I would cry when I was dropped off. Sister Barbara would sit outside with me on the stairs … She was very nice.” Joe says when he graduated, he was able to get into the high school of his choice, and felt academically prepared. Sister Barbara, who served as principal until 1998, is often credited by others connected to the school, as being “the one who really kept it going.” She was recognized at November’s gathering, and enjoyed being able to reconnect, “I hadn’t been back since I left. It was nice to run into several old timers,” says Sister Barbara. “Parents, students, it was good to see them all. It was a nice celebration.”

The school closed in 2003, and was converted into 30 unique living spaces. Many of the original architectural features remain, including windows, hardwood flooring and even the blackboards.

Sister Barbara, who spent so many years at St. Cecilia’s, is “happy the building is still being put to good use.”

ST. AGNES

CELEBR ATES

100 YEARS

St. Agnes’ oldest living alumna helped the Louisville, Ky., school celebrate its 100th anniversary recently, so too did the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.

Ninety-six-year-old Herman Steilberg recalls the early days of St. Agnes School which was opened by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. Herman became a student at St. Agnes in 1923, a little over a decade after the school opened Jan. 5, 1914. When the Catholic school first welcomed students, there were three main classrooms for eight grades comprised of 27 students. The school had outhouses and no running water.

A new wing and indoor plumbing were added in 1925, and the current building on Newburg Road opened in 1949. Among the students who have attended St. Agnes, many went on to become active and prominent in their community.

St. Agnes family members planned a host of events to mark the centennial. Among the celebrations, a dinner and program at the Galt House on Jan. 4 with an Open House the following day. As the oldest living alumna, Herman took part in the celebrations.

Also in attendance, SCNs Susan Gatz, president; Kay Glunk, 13

vice provincial; and SCNs Maureen Coughlin and Ruth Ann Humphrey.

Herman still lives in the Highlands neighborhood not far from the school on Newburg Road. He has several wonderful stories to share and was interviewed by St. Agnes family members for a video about the school’s storied history. He was also interviewed by a reporter from the Courier-Journal newspaper. Herman noted how when he went to the school, among the subjects he was taught— his ABCs, multiplication tables and religion. He also reminisced about being on the championship baseball team in 1929.

In addition to creating a video for this year’s milestone, St. Agnes’ librarian, Margi Johnstone, collected photos and documents from the school’s past and reconnected with and interviewed alumni.

Individual class reunions were also planned.

Over the years, more than 80 SCNs taught at St. Agnes. Though today SCNs no longer are in the classrooms at St. Agnes, they continue to be very active with the parish.

THE LEGACY OF ST. ANN’S

Mention St. Ann’s School in Wollaston, Mass., and a smile is sure to pass across the faces of many Sisters of Charity of Nazareth (SCNs). The Sisters have wonderful memories of the school where SCNs taught from 1956 to 1969, and returned in 1996. Over the years, 41 Sisters taught at the Massachusetts school.

One of them, Sister Catherine Lee served as principal at St. Ann’s for 14 years. She has very fond memories of her years at the school. When she began at St. Ann’s in 1996, she brought with her a depth of knowledge having been in education for many years.

She had been a teacher, principal and parish minister in several parishes. She recalls how the people at St. Ann’s welcomed her and rejoiced that the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth had a presence in their school again.

She enjoyed her ministry at the school and served until St. Ann merged with two neighborhood Catholic schools in the Quincy area. There were 400 students in the school when she arrived. At the time St. Ann’s merged, there were 300 students. Following the

merger, Sister Catherine worked to keep the school’s legacy alive through her ministry in St. Ann Parish and her ongoing ties to the former school’s families.

When it was decided that St. Ann’s and two other schools would merge as one, the decision was made to use the Sacred Heart School building for the consolidated school. It is now called the Quincy Catholic Academy. Education still continues, though, on the land that was home to St. Ann’s. A public middle school was built on the site. This is a new reality that Sister Catherine and others find fitting.

It is also fitting that Sister Catherine Lee remains in St. Ann’s Parish, where she serves as the Liturgical Coordinator as well as being involved in many areas throughout the parish community.

She ministers in the Literacy Volunteer Program and tutors a young woman from Haiti who is learning to read and write. She is also very active within the SCN Congregation and serves as a member of the SCN Ministry Fund Committee.

Volunteers Return from India

“I have seen God in their eyes, their hands, and their hearts … I am forever grateful. Words cannot express the joy of being with the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in India.”

These heartfelt words come from Joan DeVillez who recently returned from a volunteer trip. Joan and Lucille York spent six weeks in India this past October and November.

The two friends had traveled to India on a vacation previously, and returned to the U.S. with the desire to spend a longer time in the country. Joan knew of the long SCN presence in India, so she inquired about spending some time volunteering with the SCN ministries there. The two were commissioned at a Sunday liturgy at St. Vincent Church, Nazareth, Ky., on Oct. 6 and left for their adventure the following day.

Both Joan and Lucille have experience in Healing Touch therapies, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and yoga. While in India, they taught these techniques to novices, Sisters, nursing students and nurses at hospitals in Mokama and Patna. They also offered other classes to the candidates and novices. English and art were taught together to make the instruction more interesting and fun. Among the art projects Joan demonstrated, the art of origami. Candidates and novices had a great time making peace 15

cranes. Throughout their adventure, Joan kept family and friends informed of activities through posts on Facebook. In one post, Joan reported that they taught the young Sisters the Chicken Dance, the Cupid Shuffle and how to dance to Rocky Top! As is always true, Joan and Lucille’s time in India was filled with lessons and remarkable experiences for the volunteers. They learned how to wrap a sari, toured a water fall, meditated at an ashram, and celebrated Lucille’s birthday. Joan learned to sing the Hail Mary in Hindi. After returning, Joan and Lucille shared that they were so impressed with each Sister they met, with the dedication and commitment they witnessed. Joan wrote about her experience with the SCNs, and how she felt completely at ease with women who work in the flow of God’s grace. “From my two days in Delhi for restoration to my “welcome home” in Patna, I was cared for. In Mokama with its rich history lessons to the blessed time in Ranchi with trips to nature and the ashram, the Sisters made me part of their life and part of the flow that is India.

During this trip I became a teacher, student, visitor, resident, Sister and a Mrs.; all in six weeks. With each new place I found open arms, open hearts, and communities full of joy … I am changed.” www.scnfamily.org

Sisters Pray to End Human Trafficking

SCNs in India recently participated in a candlelight procession to highlight the issue of human trafficking.

Sisters Manisha Azhakathu and Nirmala Mulackal took part in the procession organized by PUSH — People Uniting to Stop Human Trafficking — a network of non governmental organizations and churches in Delhi, India working to highlight this issue. Anil J. Tomas Couto, Archbishop of Delhi, also participated in the procession. SCN family members around the world are engaged in ministries and taskforces working to bring an end to human trafficking.

SCN Joins Botswana Ministry It’s been a busy few months for one Sister of Charity of Nazareth after moving from Asia to Africa. Having lived in India all her life, Bibiana Kindo, SCN, is learning a lot these days about her new home in Botswana. She joined other SCN family members in August 2013 and was greeted at the airport in Gabarone with hugs and warm wishes.

Sister Bibiana is a teacher who is enjoying her ministry at St. Mary’s Pre-School in Lobatse. She had a wonderful first day of school, and shares a brief glimpse into that day. On the first day of my teaching ministry at St. Mary’s Pre-School in Lobatse, Botswana, I was abounding with excitement because I was not only in a new mission but in a country with new people.

As I reached the school, a group of children running came over to wish me ‘good morning’ — calling out ‘new Sister’ in English. I,too, was elated to see them.

It was a joy to see the children of Botswana people.

The little girls looked very cute and beautiful.

Quickly, I felt accepted and wanted by the students and staff. I hope that my presence will make a difference in the lives of these children!

Prior to coming to Botswana, Sister Bibiana ministered in Jamshedpur, India, at a hostel for students attending the Xavier Institute for Tribal Education.

SCN Family Member Retires

He is a familiar face on the Nazareth campus just outside Bardstown, Ky., and has been for decades. Hat on his head, his love of the outdoors evident, Bill Underwood seems as much a part of the land as the ponds and the trees.

of the land is still farmed, and there is also a community garden.

Bill Underwood receives warm wishes from John Ann Kulina, SCN, who has known Bill for decades. The two recall the days when Nazareth campus was a working farm, and Bill cared for the livestock.

Bill has spent nearly 46 years on Nazareth Campus. Bill first came to Nazareth when it was a working farm and one of his jobs was managing livestock. He could also be spotted driving a farm tractor as he cared for the grounds in any number of ways from watering plants in the summer to plowing roads in the winter after snowstorms. These days, he sometimes helps out with campus security, you can find him driving around Nazareth making sure residents are safe and sound.

Described as kind, hardworking, dedicated, and loyal, Bill has watched all these changes take place. So, too, has his wife, Mattie, who has also spent decades at Nazareth. Bill and Mattie were employed at Nazareth about a year apart — Mattie in 1966 and Bill the following year. The two, who met at Nazareth, married in 1991. Mattie, who also retired from Nazareth, is well known for her delicious cooking, her kind words, her smile and laughter.

Though Bill officially retired from full-time work last year, a time when dozens of fellow SCN family members, Sisters, Associates, and employees, came together to wish Bill well — Bill says he is happy to continue helping at Nazareth when the need arises.

Friends say Bill and Mattie both enjoy the outdoors and gardening, especially growing beautiful roses. The two also enjoy bus tours, country music, and going to Renfro Valley in Mount Vernon, Ky., to see live shows.

A lot has changed at Nazareth over Bill’s 40 plus years. In 1967, when Bill joined the SCN family, the campus was not only home to the Motherhouse, but Nazareth Academy, Nazareth College and Junior College. The crops and animals were integral in providing nourishment to those living at Nazareth.

Being part of the SCN family is indeed a family affair for Bill, and extends beyond Mattie. Bill’s brother, Paul, has been employed at Nazareth in the Housekeeping Department since 1990. Their sister, Mary Alice Forsee, an Assistant Cook, has been at Nazareth since 1991. Bill’s mother, Mary Underwood, could be found for some years in the kitchen at Russell Hall. His father, James Howard, worked in the dairy from 1967 to 1977. Bill’s uncle, John Henry, also worked in the dairy in the 70s. Sister John Ann Kulina can not imagine Nazareth without an Underwood. They are indeed an important part of the SCN family.

Today, the campus is still bustling with the Motherhouse, Congregational offices, the Nazareth Retreat Center, St. Joe’s Montessori, and Nazareth Villages which offers housing for the elderly and disabled. Though some farm land has been sold, part 17

Feast Day at St. Louise

SCN family members volunteer at Bethany Haven, an emergency homeless shelter, Bardstown, Ky. Pictured, l-r: (front row) Anita Smith and Olivia Thomas; (back row) Johneye Wethington and Jeremy Clark.

SCN Employees Volunteer

Children from the Vincentian Child Care Center in Pittsburgh, Pa., often visit the Sisters at St. Louise Convent. For the Feast of St. Vincent, the girls and boys decorated cookies which were then individually wrapped and distributed to the SCNs. Each bag had a sticker with a verse about loving others and said, “Happy Feast of St. Vincent.”

Eileen Marcinko, SCN, shared stories with the children about St. Vincent. The students and Sisters also went to the chapel, saw the statue of St. Vincent, and walked to the front of the chapel where they were invited to sit and offer up prayers. A rich intergenerational environment exists on the St. Louise Campus in Pittsburgh where the Sisters live and share their campus with apartments for Seniors, a child care center, and a high school — Vincentian Academy.

As the holiday season got underway, in the spirit of giving, employees of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth who work at the SCN Center in Nazareth, Ky., came together and looked for ways to give back to their community. They reached out to Barry McGuffin, Director of Bethany Haven, in Bardstown, Ky., with hopes of volunteering at the shelter.

Bethany Haven is a seven room/14 bed unit that serves as an emergency homeless shelter. The center currently serves single women, mothers with children, married couples and married couples with children.

After reviewing the current needs of Bethany Haven, the group decided to tackle a pantry makeover. SCN employees helped clean, organize, and install shelving. With the makeover complete, the volunteers also restocked the pantry with items donated by the SCN Center staff.

Fun @ Nazareth Home

Nazareth Home was abuzz with activity in the fall and during the holidays. From music therapy, to art projects, to trips to see the fall leaves or watch a movie, residents are always on the move. Among the highlights, a social coordinated by high school students! In November, students from Presentation Academy and DeSales High School organized a “Senior Prom.” Residents were treated to dancing, home-made goodies, a photo booth and prizes.

In December, Nazareth Home was decked out with Christmas decorations including a manger in the Chapel and a towering tree in the lobby. Family and friends were invited to a number of celebrations, including the annual Family Christmas Evening, attended by 230 residents and their families.
