Dear Friends, Since the last Journey, the winter that would never end has made way to blossoms and the planting of the Community gardens with lots of new life surrounding us at Nazareth.

5 In Ministry to the Mayan People

The leadership teams’ hearts are filled with wonder and gratitude as we reflect on the energy, creativity and fidelity throughout the Congregation as we implement the Directives of our 2013 General Assembly.

6 The Beginning of a New Chapter

When I look across the Congregation, my heart is full of gratitude for we are so blessed. Here are a few reasons why:

7 Raising Awareness about Human Trafficking 8 A Commitment to Education 9 A Shining Star at Bethlehem 11 A Belle of South Boston 13 SCNs Present at the United Nations 14 In Knowing How to Write One’s Name 15 Called to Discipleship 16 Sisters Make a Life-long Commitment 17 Never Close a Door 19 A First for Louisville 20 New Books Inspire 21 Highlights 23 Journeying On

• Through the SCN Disaster Response Team, volunteers provided presence and prayerful support to families in Mayflower, Ark., after the tornados in April.

• SCNs and SCN Associates planned and participated with others in a prayer service around Human Trafficking in downtown Louisville, Ky. • Three religious Congregations; SCNs, the Dominican Sisters of Peace, and the Sisters of Loretto, were commended in the media for their work rallying local folks to understand fracking and its dangers and to object to the Bluegrass Pipeline in Kentucky.

• In joy, we celebrated with 14 women who entered different stages of SCN Formation Programs around the world.

• “Catherine Spalding 1793–1858 Woman of Kentucky,” by Grace Saia, SCN, our first children’s book on Mother Catherine’s life was released to the public.

• After a 21-year absence of SCNs in San Antonio, Belize, SCNs Higinia Bol and Chris Kunze have returned to the Toledo District to minister in social work and health care.

• In May, the newly formed Bangalore Province in India held its first province assembly.

• In Botswana, the Pabalelong Hospice is partnering with the Chattanooga Hospice.

• In March, Evelyn Hurley, SCN, turned 99 years of age. She also celebrated 80 years as a professed Sister of Charity of Nazareth. Sister Evelyn has been serving the South Boston community for over 60 years and is excited to begin her next adventure at Nazareth!

• The life and death of our Sisters is always filled with many emotions. I want to mention two Sisters that passed in particular, Sister Xavier Valiakunnackal in India, who tirelessly took the Word of God to people in the most remote areas, and Sister Mary Justin Wheeler in her 86th year of religious life, who was buried on her 103rd birthday. She had been a SCN longer than any member of our Community ever!

We thank you for the many ways you have supported our mission and ministries and invite each of you to continue the journey with us. “With God all things are possible.”(Mark 10:27) In the Spirit of the Risen Christ,

DISASTER RELIEF

Members of the SCN Family responded within days to families impacted by the tornados that swept Arkansas in April.

The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth sent nine members of its Disaster Response Team from Nazareth, Ky., to Mayflower, just outside of Little Rock. The Sisters and volunteers spent several days clearing debris and salvaging items of value to homeowners like family photographs. Volunteers also offered a prayerful presence to the victims, who in many cases just needed someone to listen to them as they processed all that they had been through, and all that they have lost. Among the victims volunteers connected with in Arkansas, Linda Lanier and Sonny Alvarado. Not much was left of their home in Brush Mountain in the wake of April’s storms - a wall with a fireplace in it, piles of wood, bits of insulation, and shredded drywall. Volunteers worked to salvage family treasures. According to the Associated Press, the largest of the twisters — estimated to be an EF3, with wind gusts up to 160 mph, touched down April 27, about 10 miles west of Little Rock. The tornado carved an 80-mile path of destruction. It passed through or near several suburbs north of the state capital, killing at least 16 people.

The Sisters have many ties to Arkansas. SCNs founded St. Vincent’s Hospital in 1888, in Little Rock, and quite a few SCNs joined the Congregation from that area. While the hospital was not directly effected, towns just a short drive away were.

The Sisters have a long tradition of responding in times of disasters. Some examples include flooding in Louisville, tsunamis in India, and hurricanes in Belize. Continuing in this spirit, the SCN Disaster Relief Program encourages volunteers to offer spiritual and physical support to persons experiencing a disaster. If you are interested in being part of the SCN Disaster Relief effort, call Luke Boiarski, SCN, at (502) 348-1581 or email lukescn@scnky.org.

SCNs Assist Fire Victims SCNs in Nepal operate a mobile health clinic that travels to the most remote regions of the country. While seeing patients in Surkhet one day, Cecilia Simick, SCN, met a young family that had lost everything in a fire.

The family’s thatched roof house had caught fire, all that was left was an ash heap. The family of four are now living in a small room where goats are usually kept.

Just 15 days earlier, the young mother had delivered a baby. She also has a two-year-old daughter. Crammed in a small room without enough clothes or food was a difficult situation for the young family. Her husband had gone to look for help.

Upon finding out about the family’s crisis, Sister Cecilia immediately took steps to respond. She collected rice, dal, cooking oil and clothing from the other Sisters living in Birendranagar. “When we handed these to the young mother, she burst into tears, and thanked us for helping her in their time of need. The older child went digging into the bag of clothes and found a dress for herself. She wore the new clothes and ran to show her friends. She was so happy that she started running around in joy. It was a heart touching moment for everyone present,” says Sister Cecilia.

ENCOUNTERING GOD IN BOTSWANA

LEAVING A LASTING IMPACT

As Pat Huitt, SCN, and Toosie Gish, SCN Associate, return from their ministry in Botswana, they tell profound stories of encountering God. Sister Pat tells a story about a woman who came to her door, crying and distraught.

She told Sister Pat that she had just learned that her husband was very sick with AIDS. He worked in the diamond mines and was away from home for long periods of time. The woman was terrified that she may have contracted the AIDS virus from him. She was afraid to go for testing alone, so Sister Pat accompanied her. She stayed with this woman and offered spiritual and pastoral support when the woman learned that she was indeed HIV positive. Along with the doctors, Sister Pat assured the woman that she could live a fruitful life with the help of medications. She offered the woman support during the many months that followed. Today, the woman continues to live and care for her children who are growing up very fast. Her faith in God is strong. “God brings us people God knows we can help,” says Sister Pat. “All we have to do is respond to God’s invitation and let God work through us!”

Sister Pat recently completed nearly 14 years of ministry in Botswana, where she ministered in the Thapelong Mission in Kanye, and served as Diocesan Catechetical Coordinator. She was one of the six pioneers who opened the SCN Mission in Botswana in 2000. Sister Pat recently returned to Nazareth, Ky.

“God brings us people God knows we can help.

All we have to do is respond …”

Tootsie also recently returned to Kentucky after working for many years in Botswana. Tootsie served as director of the preschool in Nthlanthle. At an SCN Associate meeting in April, Tootsie reflected on her time in Botswana and how she felt so at home with the people there. When she decided to go to Botswana, she sold her home and her belongings, and only kept a roll-top desk and rocking chair that has personal meaning to her. She is now living at Nazareth Villages on the Nazareth campus, and says that other residents and friends have provided everything that she needs for her apartment. “Life is like a big circle,” she says. “I sold my house to go and serve. Now, I’m coming back and being served.” Tootsie now volunteers at the SCN ministry, Doors to Hope, in Louisville, Ky., three days a week.

Both say that they miss the people in Botswana very much. Sister Pat shares, “Tears come to my eyes, but I’m looking forward to what’s next — how to give God glory.”

IN MINISTRY TO THE MAYAN PEOPLE

Drawn to minister to the families living in some of the most remote areas of Belize, two SCNs recently moved from Belize City to a parish where they could live among the Mayan people.

SCNs Higinia Bol and Christine Kunze now call St. Peter Claver Parish, which serves 22 villages, home. It has been two months since the reopening of the mission in San Antonio located in the Toledo District of Belize. Sisters Higinia and Chris had much to do before they could reopen this ministry, like traveling to some of the villages with church leaders to be formally introduced to the people, securing a vehicle to handle rough terrain, and renovating and repairing the parish house (the house had not been lived in for almost 15 years). Now settled into their new place, the Sisters say each day is feeling a little more like home.

Ministries are underway in the areas of pastoral care, social work, and nursing. Sister Chris writes of the richness and challenges of daily life.

“Within San Antonio, much time is spent visiting families and getting to know them. We spend one day a week taking communion to the elderly and sick who are no longer able to attend church service. We have found that the visits allow these people the time and space to share their stories with us. Realizing the need for this kind of space to share, we have also begun a women’s faith group that meets weekly.

“In addition, we are visiting other villages which include San Jose, Blue Creek, Jalacte, Pueblo Viejo, Santa Elena, Santa Cruz, Corazon, Crique Sarco, and Otoxha. We have attended Mass or communion service in these villages, accompanied the youth coordinator to meet some of the youth groups, and are in the process of meeting with the catechists and leaders in these villages.

“We have been greeted warmly and with openness by the people, and we have felt an appreciation for our SCN presence in the past, and a welcoming of our presence once again. It has affirmed for us the importance of this mission in the Toledo District.

SCNs Higinia Bol, left, and Chris Kunze, right, recently began ministry in San Antonio, Belize.

“We are realizing some of the many challenges the people are encountering within the Church. One of these challenges is a lack of pastoral presence. Other than Mass once every six weeks, there is little opportunity for ongoing faith formation and spiritual nourishment. The people have shared with us a hungering to understand and deepen their faith. In addition, they are experiencing division within their faith communities due to the presence of other religions preaching against Catholicism. We share the following two examples of this lived reality.

“Last year in the village of Corazon, a catechist was influenced by another religion to believe that the way in which Catholics pray and worship is not right. The people became divided, and only a few families chose to remain Catholic. However, those who decided to leave the Catholic faith maintained control of the church building, and a new Catholic church had to be built.

The few remaining Catholic families in this village are asking for support in the strengthening of their faith. Another village, San Jose, experienced vandalism in the church. In the night, the church was broken into, the tabernacle burned, the music equipment stolen, and obscenities against the Catholic Church written on the wall. The people were traumatized that others would desecrate their church in this way. The lead catechist and three others came to our house to share what happened and asked for prayers and support. In response, we were able to go to San Jose to facilitate a group process in which the people shared how they were feeling about what happened. The following Sunday, the pastor held a special healing Mass in support of the community.

The people have asked for our support and to facilitate opportunities for faith development.

“While the needs are many and often times overwhelming, we are aware we cannot meet all the needs. Our hope is to truly listen and discern how we can best utilize our gifts and resources as this ministry continues to unfold,” says Sister Chris.

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER

HELPING THOSE IN NEED For one week he put his job on hold, left his home in Anchorage, Ky., and said goodbye to his wife, Tara, and his two young daughters, to help build a home for someone in need. Stuart Mouser joined the SCN Lay Mission Volunteer Program for a home building trip to Belize City, Belize, in February of 2014.

Hopes that he would enjoy the experience, the culture of Belize, and the camaraderie of the other volunteers were reached. But he gained much more. He believes this mission work has been the beginning of a new chapter in his life. He talks about his time in Belize City.

“My journey to Belize came about from a calling within to make a difference in someone’s life outside of the U.S. where basic necessities such as food and shelter are not as readily available as one might suggest.

“One particular moment I found moving during my immersion in Belize City was when I happened to meet a young family who were squatters in a house no bigger than the back of a pickup truck. I instantly felt guilt for having ever complained about anything in my life, but soon after I found a real sense of joy, because I could tell this family, along with many others in the community found peace and solace in the simple joys of life.

“Often we forget about such lifealtering experiences after we return to the comforts of our lives and the hustle and bustle of our careers.

However, Belize has stuck with me still even to this day. The wonderful people whom I met from the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, as well as the locals that took care of us during our stay, have left a permanent mark upon my soul.

“I have become an advocate of the SCN Lay Mission Volunteer Program and have reached out to many of my friends and colleagues to consider looking into a trip themselves. There are few certainties in my life, but one is that I intend to make the trip back,” Stuart says.

RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT HUMAN TRAFFICKING Nelson Co. Human Trafficking Task Force Holly Austin Smith, a survivor of human trafficking, was lured into the sex trade by a man she trusted at the age of 14.

Shortly after her eighth-grade graduation, Holly met a man at the mall. She felt insignificant and overlooked by the popular kids, so when this young man noticed her and asked for her phone number, she felt special. He called her several times. She says, “He talked to me like I was an adult. I didn’t know that my new friend was actually a pimp.”

Over time, this man convinced her to run away from home and they went to Atlantic City. That first evening, the reality of what was happening hit her as this man handed her over to a prostitute who introduced her to what was expected. “That night separated life as I knew it into two parts,” she says, “before Atlantic City and after Atlantic City.”

Eventually, she was rescued by the police who arrested her. She says she was treated like a criminal, rather than a victim. Today, Holly Smith works to prevent human trafficking by raising awareness. Her newly published book, “Walking Prey,” describes her personal experience, outlines risk factors and provides advice to parents, law enforcement personnel and service providers.

888-373-7888 National Human Trafficking Hotline For more information on trafficking, visit: http://stopviolencencky.org and http://rescueandrestoreky.org.

Holly Smith was the keynote speaker at a forum sponsored by the Nelson County Human Trafficking Task Force on the SCN Motherhouse Campus, Nazareth, Ky., on March 21. The forum, attended by nearly 200 local service providers, Sisters, and the general public, was funded by a grant awarded to the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth from Catholic Health Initiatives.

A Commitment to Education “Bold,” “dedicated,” “gifted professors” — these are the words used to describe two SCNs recently recognized for lifetimes dedicated to teaching. Respected educators and best friends, Mary Serra Goethals, SCN, and Rose Ann Howard, SCN, are often seen together. So it is fitting that the two, standing side by side, received high honors from Bellarmine University — Monsignor Horrigan Medals.

Called to religious life 58 years ago, Sister Mary Serra ministered in a number of capacities at Bellarmine University until 2000, including as chair of the education department, and director of elementary and middle school education. She continues to be asked to consult on any number of projects related to both education and publishing. Sister Mary Serra has received many letters of thanks and commendations. In a letter from one of her former students, Dr. Rosemarie Young, Dr. Young wrote, “It is difficult to imagine Bellarmine without you. You were an exemplary professor; challenging each of us to do a little more, to plan a lot more, and to always keep the children first. … The person of Dr. Serra Goethals is a true blessing to all who have had the fortune to experience her passion for life and education, and her boundless energy, enthusiasm, and leadership skills.”

SCNs Rose Ann Howard and Mary Serra Goethals recently received the Monsignor Horrigan Medal from Bellarmine University, Louisville,Ky.

A native of Moline, Ill., Sister Mary Serra earned a Bachelor of Science in history from Brescia University in Owensboro, Ky.; a Master of Education in education administration and Principalship from Spalding College (now Spalding University) in Louisville, Ky.; and a Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction from the Peabody College of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.

Sister Mary Serra joined Bellarmine University in 1972.

A Sister for over 50 years as well, SCN Rose Ann served at Bellarmine University for 25 years, and also retired in 2000. In addition to her role as professor of education, Sister Rose was the director of secondary education. She earned her undergraduate degrees in history and math from Brescia College, and her master’s degree and Ph.D. from Peabody College of Vanderbilt University. A native of Western Kentucky, she remembers how education was important to both her dad, a student at St. Mary of the Woods in Whitesville, Ky., and her mom, who attended St. Vincent Academy in Union County, Ky. Sister Rose Ann credits her mom with inspiring her, recalling that her mom often said, “I want you kids to have the education I didn’t get.” Sister Rose helped open St. Leonard School in Louisville, and from there served as a teacher and principal at St. Catherine School in New Haven, Ky., and also as principal of Mother of Good Counsel.

Upon their retirement, in an article in the Cathedral Star, Dave Strong noted how together Sisters Rose and Serra leave an aweinspiring legacy to Bellarmine and to the teaching profession.

“A listing of their individual and joint credentials of teaching

experience, publications, workshops, seminars, honors, and professional memberships would exceed all the space in the Cathedral Star. If their accomplishments could be summed up in one phrase, however, it would be this: “These people have a passion for teaching!”

After serving in leadership roles in the university, Sisters Rose and Mary Serra were called to leadership roles in the SCN Congregation. In 2003, Sister Mary Serra was appointed treasurer and secretary of the SCN Congregation. In 2004, Sister Rose Ann became the associate director and later the director of the Office of Sponsored Ministries.

Both Sisters Mary Serra and Rose continue to live life at a fast pace, always involved on any number of committees, boards, and consulting opportunities. A dear friend to the two noted at the Bellarmine award ceremony, that it is unlikely that either one will slow down any time soon.

SISTER MARY NINETTE A SHINING STAR AT BETHLEHEM “You can’t see the hurts that are inside and they can be many,” says Mary Ninette Manning, SCN. “They can include family, school, friends, divorce, and even coping with death. These can all be hard to deal with.”

For over three decades Sister Mary Ninette has been a welcome presence in the lives of hundreds of teenagers. As a counselor at Bethlehem High School in Bardstown, Ky., she focuses on counseling and listening to the students as they navigate various personal difficulties. Early in the school year, she reaches out to all of the students to let them know that she is available, and that what she deals with is hurt and pain, perfectly normal feelings, that may exist inside of the teens.

Students are referred, or refer each other to her. She finds that the young men and women are willing to talk most of the time.

Sometimes students are apprehensive, but Sister Mary Ninette strives to put them at ease. She finds that many students are open about their experiences in counseling with others, but she still works very hard to keep her meetings confidential.

“It is my hope and my prayer that the students with whom I work feel better about themselves as a result of our sessions,” she says. “We work on improving self-esteem, on believing in 9

their own giftedness, on dealing with difficult family issues, and on other things that come up. I especially want the young women to believe they have many things to contribute to this world and that they are as important as the young men with whom they share life and the world.”

each other. “That was a very difficult time.

It was a struggle all year in dealing with our loss,” says Sister Mary Ninette.

She finds she is often busiest right before a break and before holidays. For most, the school is a secure and scheduled place, and leaving that can be difficult for some.

Sister Mary Ninette came to Bethlehem in the 1980s. She has seen many changes in the hallways over the decades. Needs are different. Technology has dramatically altered the landscape of the classroom and learning. Many renovations have occurred and the school has experienced growth and expansion. But some things remain the same. Sister Mary Ninette says that teachers want to come to Bethlehem and they want to stay. There is also a great relationship between the students and teachers. If students need help, the teachers are there for their students. “We have a wonderful staff at Bethlehem,” says Sister Mary Ninette. “And there is a strong sense of family and a sense of community.”

That was shown in recent years in dealing with a very tragic student death. In the middle of the summer, 125 students came together for a prayer service and to support

Sisters of Charity of Nazareth • Vol. II 2014

Grace Ritchie, a senior at Bethlehem High School, talks with Mary Ninette Manning, SCN.

While Sister Mary Ninette has been in ministry for 32 years at Bethlehem, over 25 of those years, she was also a Marriage and Family Therapist for the Archdiocese of Louisville. For that last seven years, she has concentrated full-time on Bethlehem.

Sister Mary Ninette also coached the tennis team at Bethlehem for eight years, which she says she just loved. She still plays tennis and because she is a life-long player herself, she says she really enjoyed being part of the team. You can often find Sister Mary Ninette attending matches and cheering for players.

It is Sister Mary Ninette’s hope that the SCN founded Bethlehem High School www.scnfamily.org

Mary Ninette Manning, SCN, gives a tour of Bethlehem High School, pointing out the many changes over the years.

will be there for many years to come, and that the students will be wholesome Christian men and women who will contribute positively to their part of the world, wherever life takes them. She believes Mother Catherine would be proud of the school today.

“I am in ministry at Bethlehem High School because I believe it is where God wants me to be right now,” says Sister Mary Ninette. “I am happy to be carrying on the tradition of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth being here since the school was established in 1812.

I have enjoyed my years here. As long as I feel like I can relate to high school students, I know that I should stay. Whenever there is a doubt, something happens where I have the opportunity to help one more student.”

At Bethlehem High School, teacher Tommy Reed leads the Interact club. Interact is a club for young people who want to join together to tackle the issues in their community that they care most about.

They carry out hands-on service projects, make international connections, and develop leadership skills.

In March of 2014, the Bethlehem Interact club hosted an all-night dance to raise $2,500 to support the missions of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.

On this evening, Mary Ninette Manning, SCN, introduced Susan Gatz, SCN, president of the Congregation and Patsy O’Toole, SCNA, the director of advancement. The Congregation is grateful to the students for their generous support and contribution.

So, she does just that.

Sister Evie

A Belle of South Boston Ninety-nine years ago in Boston, Mass., baseball legend Babe Ruth made his major league debut with the Red Sox, Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr. married Rose Fitzgerald, and a baby girl was born to well-known City Councilor Billy Hurley and Alice Barry.

Seventeen years later that daughter of Bill Hurley and Alice Barry left her Boston hometown and entered the SCN Community. Her decision to make vows as a Sister of Charity of Nazareth surprised some, says Evelyn Hurley, SCN (Sister Evie). “I didn’t do too much serious thinking as a teenager,” Sister Evie recalls, adding she never talked about it much and, “didn’t even decide until the middle of summer.” A good bit of her decision to enter the Community was due to the example and influence of her teachers. She was taught by the SCNs from fifth grade until high school. Her father was away at the World Series when she made her announcement to her family that she would become an SCN, but when he learned of the news, he was proud. Her family, too, was very happy with her decision.

So, in September 1932, Evelyn Hurley entered the Community.

11

Sisters of Charity of Nazareth • Vol. II 2014

Her ministry was education. She always preferred the primary grades. Sister Evie says, “I thoroughly enjoy working with little ones. They are so honest and simple. I had no real challenges.” She says this, even though in any given year, she could be responsible for many, many students, including the year she had 84 students in the first grade.

After teaching for over a decade in Kentucky, she and several other SCNs opened St. Elizabeth School in Clarksdale, Miss., in 1947.

SCNs were already serving the parish in religious education when they saw a need for education for the children. Each Sister taught two grades, Sister Evie taught first and second. Three years later, she left Mississippi and returned to Boston, where she would continue her ministry in education for the next 64 years.

While in Boston, Sister Evie lived in a convent with 27 other Sisters in the early years, spending her days teaching the children at St. Brigid Convent. As the convent in Boston dwindled in size from 27 to 17, and then fewer, Sister Evie’s constant presence bonded www.scnfamily.org

her with the parish, school and surrounding community. She was the only Sister remaining when she decided to leave for the Nazareth Motherhouse this year.

Throughout her life, Sister Evie has had the gift of an amazing memory which friends attribute to her genuine interest in people. “I lived with Evie about 50 years ago. She was a marvelous primary teacher for her entire career,” says Julie Driscoll, SCN. “She made every little one in her classroom feel special and focused on each one in a way that her remarkable memory can give you names of those children, the row they sat in, and the seat in that row many years later! This same special interest carries over to every person she meets.

She asks about a person’s ministry or job, their family and their special interests. And she will remember all this when she meets the person the next time and every time after that!”

Sister Evelyn also has a way of making friends wherever she goes.

Sarah Ferriell, SCN, lived in “Southie” with her from 64–66 when there were 19 Sisters in the house. “She attended every wake and I think visited just about everyone in South Boston. Like her father who was a political figure, well known at the time of his leadership, Evelyn knew how to meet people and develop a broad base of friendships. … I was always amazed at her quality of ‘presence’ to the person and to the situation at hand.”

Boston resident, Ellen Paul McGovern, SCN, fondly remembers spending time with Sister Evelyn and her good friend Sister Mary Lucina. “My memories of Sister Evelyn (Evie) are numerous and too many to write. She and Sister Mary Lucina would have parties at St. Brigid’s convent and invite the Sisters. The laughter of Sister Evie and her way of making everyone feel at home was a special gift of hers.”

When Sister Mary Lucina fell ill and spent her final two and a half years at Marian Manor nursing home, Sister Evelyn never missed her daily visits to see her good friend.

When Sister Mary Lucina died, Sister Evelyn had spent so much time at Marian Manor, and had made so many friends, she continued to visit the nursing home regularly.

Though now at 99 years of age, Sister Evelyn is slowing down (she gave up driving last year), she is excited about her future and days to come at the Motherhouse at Nazareth. As word spread of her departure, her friends, her Sisters, and the community were sad to see her go. Former students even offered to pay her rent if she would stay put, but she told them, “No, I’m ready to go. This is the right decision at the right time.”

Before leaving, she was sent off with a marvelous celebration. A Mass of Thanksgiving was given to honor Sister Evelyn and her many contributions to South Boston. Hundreds turned out to honor Sister Evelyn, including City Council members, the president of the University of Massachusetts, and the former mayor of Boston. “It was a super celebration. Everyone enjoyed it and said that was the happiest party they’d been to, says Sister Evie.

“They were always so good to me.”

Having arrived at Nazareth in April, Sister Evie quickly settled in.

Not one to take it easy, upon moving into the Motherhouse, her friend, Joan Robishaw, SCN, noticed several huge shipping boxes filled with her things. Sister Joan called to offer to help her unpack, but Sister Evelyn had already finished the job herself! That really didn’t surprise Sister Joan.

So, as Sister Evie spends her days at Nazareth, she embraces this newest chapter of her life. “I’m at home, well adapted and very happy.”

In Knowing How to Write One’s Own Name For years, she did not know how to write her own name. Buchia Devi, felt like she was “no one” in her village in Nepal. But today, through the education and support of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, she is a changed woman. As president of a federation of self-help groups in her area, she works closely with 15 groups, finding innovative ways to empower the women, in much the same way that she has been empowered.

Buchia is also a treasurer of one of the self-help groups in her village.

She belongs to a barber caste group. She was taught how to write her name by the Sisters in one of the literacy classes. Classes are conducted at the Navjyoti Social Centre and also in the village. Once Buchia learned the art of writing her name, she felt transformed.

The SCNs in ministry at Shapur have been working towards organizing women to form groups for many years. Initially, some of the women reluctantly gathered, and many did not always trust one another. To create a sense of community, the Sisters begin with classes in hygiene, nutrition and general health awareness. Once the women get interested, SCNs begin literacy classes.

Once empowered, Buchia opened a bank account for her group with two other women. During monthly meetings, she collects the savings from the group members. They process loan applications and give out the loans to the needy women. Some of the women use this money for cultivation. Some of the landless women take land for a price for seasonal cultivation. Sisters describe Buchia as a determined woman. If any one in her group lags behind in contributing to the monthly collection, she gently encourages them to pay up explaining the need for collective saving. She also encourages the ones who take the loans to make timely payments.

The members of the self-help group respect Buchia. Regular monthly meetings takes place and whenever she calls for an emergency meeting, the women, without hesitation, gather as a group. There are many such women who are empowered by the efforts of SCN Sisters in Shapur, and women like Buchia, who then go on to empower others.

SCNs have established dozens of self-help groups, shown in the photos above, with the hopes of empowering women and families across Nepal and India.

was so very inspired by the Sisters when she came for the first vows of Sister Tarcilla in 2007, that she decided to join the SCN candidacy program the same year. As a candidate she taught at Gyandeep School, Jamshedpur, for a year.

In a ceremony at the Convent chapel in Mokama, India, Father Alwyn D’Souza, the Parish Priest, shared in his homily, “Just like your co-founder, Mother Catherine Spalding, who became all things to all people during her times, you are also called to become all things to all people.” (1 Cor. 9:22). Through the narration of the story of a blind girl, Father D’Souza encouraged the young Sisters, “to be Jesus to all, as the blind girl saw Jesus in the person who helped to rearrange her apple cart which was toppled by a hurrying traveler.” Adding, “Sisters, you are to be the face of Jesus in the world!”

During the moving ceremony in March, the family members of these young SCNs offered the produce of their fields such as rice and raw peanuts in woven and decorated bamboo baskets, carrying them on their heads as offertory gifts at the vow Mass.

The five SCNs will now attend a two-month intensive juniorate program in Mokama and Patna, before retuning to their new mission assignments.

A native of Khundruguttu, Jharkhand, India, Sister Anash is the eldest out of five siblings. She studied at St. Mary’s School, Chakaram.

Never Close A Door

Vocation Director Nancy Gerth, SCN, recently set out to answer a question she is often asked. Why would a woman want to enter religious life today?

Nancy Gerth, SCN, enjoys a moment of quiet during prayer at a vocation event in Pittsburgh, Pa.

The answer is the same as it was when I, and many others, entered the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth: God called. God is still calling today and young women are trying to listen. Beyond the experience of the initial call, women still desire prayer and spiritual growth, Community life and serving others while being part of something bigger than themselves … some of the same things that attracted many Sisters in the past. So what is different today? The world and many things in it!

(Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)

ABOUT VOCATION MINISTRY CONNECTING WITH WOMEN

Nancy Gerth, SCN, vocations director, pictured with Felicia Boham at Nativity Hall during a visit to Nazareth, Ky.

Some in this group of six are in college pursuing a first degree, others are in the workforce and/or are pursuing higher education goals. Each woman is distinct in personality, talents and passion to serve; each enters the journey of discernment from a different place in life. Each comes with her own experience of Sisters, as well as her understanding and preconceived ideas about religious life. Each woman is at a different point in the exploration of her call — from just dipping her toe in to check the temperature of the water, to jumping in to ride the waves.

I am in a privileged position as vocation director to meet them where they are, stand beside them as their journey unfolds, listen to their pondering, and witness God working in and through them. My role and desire is to accompany each woman who considers a call as a vowed member of the SCN Community with a listening ear, a steady hand in choppy waters, and a reminder that God is in it all – no matter where the journey might lead.

How do you connect with women exploring a call to religious life? Being present with women at retreats, on service trips, “Nun Run” events (women visit several communities over a 24-hour period), Come and Serve weekends, and being introduced to them by Sisters, Associates, diocesan vocation staff, and others.

FINDING THE SCNS How do women “find” the SCNs if they don’t know us? Online: through vocation referral services such as Vision, ¡OYE!, Guide to Religious Ministries and the SCN website.

VOCATION AWARENESS What type of Vocation Education outreach is currently being done? Vocation Education presentations at grade schools and high schools, religious education classes and for college groups.

MAKING CONTACT How do most women end up in contact with the vocation director? Through direct and personal interaction with a Sister! (All six women mentioned above began a conversation with the vocation director after meeting a Sister of Charity of Nazareth or the vocation director in person.)

ENCOURAGE DISCERNMENT

Nancy Gerth, SCN, vocations director, finds daily moments, like doing the dishes together, can convey a sense of being in Community together.

(Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)

Do you know someone you think might have a vocation to religious life? 1) Ask them about it! 2) Encourage them regarding the qualities you notice. 3) Pray for them. 4) Contact any SCN or the vocation director for information. 5) Encourage discernment for all types of vocations and for putting one’s faith into action.

A First For Louisville At a recent event attended by professionals and politicians in Louisville, Ky., those gathered were interviewed on camera about their favorite statue depicting a female. The question stumped most — as few could think of any statues of women in the city. These interviews have become the basis of a video created by the city’s teen leaders, members of the organization Louisville Girls Leadership. The teens scoured the city taking photos of statues and plaques, almost all of them honoring or depicting men. The message of the video, in order to empower girls, they need images, messages, and mentors to inspire them.

The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth understand the importance of empowering young women, they have been doing just that since offering classes to young women beginning in 1814. That said, a group of women with ties to the Sisters, some of them former pupils of the SCNs, hopes to remedy the lack of statues honoring women. They are raising money to have a statue of Mother Catherine completed and dedicated in the spring of 2015. Mother Catherine will become the first female statue to grace the streets of downtown Louisville. A pioneer, she helped to co-found the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, and a number of visionary ministries at a time when no education for girls, private health care or organized social services existed on the Kentucky frontier. She began a number of Louisville ministries including St. Joseph’s Hospital and Presentation Academy. On Jan. 6, 2003, the Courier Journal named her the one woman among 16 “most influential people in Louisville/Jefferson County history.” The statue will be installed in front of the Cathedral of Assumption, a place close to Mother Catherine’s heart as the undercroft of the Cathedral is where she founded Presentation Academy with the first SCN orphanage located just steps away, and the first SCN hospital around 19

the block in the space where the Palace Theater now stands.

This project is coming to life thanks to the tenacity of a group of friends, among them Mary Margaret Mulvihill and Dolores Delahanty. A graduate of Presentation, Mary Margaret says she has been drawn to Mother Catherine for a number of years as a source of inspiration and as a role model for women. Mary Margaret, a parishioner at the Cathedral for over 25 years, advocated for the creation of a Mother Catherine statue. Slated to get underway in 2006, the statue was delayed during an economic downturn. In the years since, Mary Margaret never stopped lobbying for the statue. This year, the project moved towards becoming a reality as four artists, selected by the committee, submitted written proposals and models of their statues. The four were Meg White,

Sisters of Charity of Nazareth • Vol. II 2014

Raymond Graf, Matt Weir, and Lyola Walters. After reviewing the models, the committee chose Raymond. His work includes the Pee Wee Reese statue in front of Louisville Slugger Field.

SCN Mary Ellen Doyle, author of “Pioneer Spirit,” a book about Mother Catherine, is pleased that a statue will be installed next year near the Cathedral. She gives a tour of that area for SCN Family members, helping them to envision what life might have been like for Mother Catherine when she founded some of the cornerstones of Louisville in areas of education, health care, and social services. Her words of encouragement to the selected artist, “bring her (Mother Catherine) to life as she is to you.” If you would like to donate to this project or would like more information about the statue, contact Mary Margaret Mulvihill at 502-637-1984. www.scnfamily.org

NEW BOOKS INSPIRE With hopes of inspiring students to become leaders, and to do so in a manner that changes the world, two books are fueling the imaginations of the SCN Family’s youngest members.

One of them, a book for grade school students, is about Mother Catherine Spalding. It was unveiled before dozens of children at St. Joseph Parish, Bardstown, Ky. Written by Grace Saia, SCN, a lifelong educator, the story is designed to transport children to the early 1800s as Mother Catherine, then a child, made her way from Maryland to Kentucky, and as a teen, went on to co-found the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. “I want children to know that at one time, a long time ago, there was a lady who very much loved children and wanted to help them,” says Sister Grace.

Speaking before a crowd of more than 100 parents and children gathered at St. Joseph’s, Sister Grace noted that Mother Catherine, who was orphaned herself, began a number of ministries in Kentucky including Nazareth Academy, Presentation Academy, Bethlehem Academy and St. Vincent Orphanage. Sister Grace went on to describe Mother Catherine as a pioneer.

Sister Grace engaged students at St. Louis Catholic School in Memphis, Tenn., to help with the creative process of writing the book. She formed an advisory committee of students, who came together to critique her book and offer suggestions. These suggestions, like including more dialogue in the chapters to bring Mother Catherine alive, were invaluable, says Sister Grace.

Sister Grace and the students of the advisory committee were thrilled to see the Congregation’s first children’s book, “Catherine Spalding: Woman of Kentucky,” become a reality. “I’ve worked with children for so long,” shares Sister Grace. “I want children to know about this great lady.”

Another book with ties to the Congregation, is also receiving much praise. Created by respected historians and storytellers, Marie Davis and Margaret Hultz, the electronic book is about much loved Lucy Dosh, SCN. “Civil War Truce: Remarkable Little-Known Story of Sister Lucy,” is the story of a Sister of Charity of Nazareth who left an indelible mark on both Confederate and Union soldiers. Marie and Margaret use cutting edge technology to share Sister Lucy’s story through a multi-touch book application that combines music, photographs, movies and many other interactive features. Available for purchase as an app on Amazon, readers can download the story onto their Kindles and Android devices, and take a multimedia journey like no other. SCN Family members Kathy HertelBaker, Anna Powell, Diane Curtis, Dana Hinton, and Spalding Hurst worked with Marie and Margaret. “It’s been an exciting process to work with Margaret and Marie,” says Diane. “ We learned a lot when they asked us to participate in beta testing.

The opportunities for sharing other SCN stories in this format is something we would like to further explore.”

Marie and Margaret, first learned about the story of Sister Lucy years ago while doing research on a different project. The story haunted them. The two did extensive research prior to beginning work on the electronic book, including reading some of Mother Catherine’s letters. In 1845, Mother Catherine wrote about St. Vincent’s Orphanage where Lucy was placed as a child, “I am here in the midst of near 60 destitute little beings who have few to think of or love them …” In the description of their e-book, Marie and Margaret write, “imagine one of those ‘destitute little beings’ growing up to be a spirited Catholic Sister, a young woman whose life and music would make a lasting impact on soldiers during the Civil War.” Sisters of Charity of Nazareth • Vol. II 2014
