Ursulines Alive, Fall 2004 In this issue

Dear Friends, In this issue we celebrate transition and new life. As we ask God’s continuing blessing on the five Ursuline Sisters who have moved from community leadership into new ministries, we welcome those who have said “yes” to God and to us in accepting leadership positions for the next six years.

We have asked Sister Rose Marita O’Bryan, who served as congregational leader for the past eight years, to share with us her own reflections on leadership in a religious community. Sister Rose Marita is currently enjoying a well-earned sabbatical, discerning God’s call to her for the future. We are grateful that she was willing to share her time of reflection with the readers of Ursulines Alive. Her reflections begin on page 3.

In place of a short letter from the congregational leader — which will appear in future issues — we asked Sister Michele Morek, who took office on July 11, to share her insights about leadership. Her reflections, which also begin on page 3, are based primarily on the address she gave to the community on the day of her installation.

This publication has begun a tradition, in the fall issue, of listing the many persons, businesses, and organizations whose generous support makes possible the ministries of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph. In The Ursuline Way of Life — our constitutions — we read that “the power of the entire congregation united in the Lord is present in the ministry of each member.” We believe also that those who support and work with us are present wherever we are, reaching out to bring God’s love and care to those in need. And so this issue is a sign of our love and gratitude and the love and gratitude of those with whom we minister...together.

Blessings in this beautiful season of autumn. May it bring you times of stillness and peace. It is an especially lovely time at Mount Saint Joseph. Please know that you are always welcome here.

We, the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph, sustained by prayer and vowed life in community, proclaim Jesus through education and Christian formation in the spirit of our founder, Saint Angela Merici.

OUR VISION As Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph, we will: • Commit ourselves to simplicity, hospitality, justice and service; • Reverence the values of our founding rural heritage; • Live and minister contemplatively as women of hope; • Witness gospel values through the charism of Saint Angela Merici; • Bind ourselves to one another in charity, celebrating and respecting the uniqueness of each person; • Invite and mentor new members; • Respond to the signs of the times and the needs of the Church and the world through collaborative relationships; and • Stand in prophetic witness to the world by living in right relationships with the earth and the human family to effect justice through systemic change.

Leadership for Growth Jesus is the model for those he calls to serve

by Sister Rose Marita O’Bryan, OSU

L

eadership is for the other. Rooted in the person and her gifts, it transcends the individual, influencing a group in a special way. Those called to leadership positions assume a generous share of responsibility for facilitating the interaction which is part of any group functioning as community. Leaders are initiators, enablers, and inspirers. The context of leadership in a religious community is further qualified by the tradition specific to each congregation.

Leaders of our congregation, the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph, are challenged by our founder, Saint Angela Merici, to lead others as she counseled the leaders of the Company of Saint Ursula to lead. We reflect on her vision.

Sister Rose Marita

I remind you to strive, with the help of God, to take hold of and plant within you this right conviction and humble sentiment: do not consider yourselves worthy to be leaders. Rather, regard yourselves as ministers and servants, reflecting that you have more need to serve them than they have to be served by you.

(First Counsel) continued on page 4

Leadership Leading in the Spirit of Angela Merici The Pentecost fire came to rest on all of us

by Sister Michele Morek, OSU

A

s the new Mount Saint Joseph leadership council and I began our new six-year term of office in July of this year, we were both excited and afraid…like a child on the first day of school, or like the disciples on Pentecost.

When the day of Pentecost came it found them gathered in one place. Tongues of fire appeared…which came to rest on each of them. All were filled with the Holy Spirit…(and) began to express themselves in foreign tongues and make bold proclamations, as the Spirit prompted them.

(Acts 2:1-4) Imagine how excited they must have been! And how fearful, too. After all, who were these people who were being asked to start a church, buck the system, and set out on a path that would lead to martyrdom for many of them? They certainly were not the scarlet-clad College of Cardinals, or a bunch of perfect saints, but a motley crowd of rough fishermen, tax collectors, and women of varied ranks and social classes.

Leadership for Growth continued from page 3

From the writings of Angela we can identify certain qualities desired by her for those who would lead the Company of Saint Ursula: prophetic vision, contemplative love, wisdom, loving ministry, watchful shepherding, careful service, discernment of the will of God, and embrace of the cross. Angela perceived the ministry of leadership of her Company as the most noble of all tasks. She counsels: …consider in what manner you must esteem your daughters, for the more you esteem them, the more you will love them; the more you love them, the more you will care for and watch over them. And it will be impossible for you not to cherish them day and night, and to have them all engraved in your heart, one by one, for this is how real love acts and works. And this charge must not be a burden for you; on the contrary, you have to thank God most greatly that he has deigned to see to it that you are among those he wants to spend themselves in governing and safeguarding such a treasure, his own.

(Prologue to the Counsels) Leadership adapts to the people who are involved. Leadership, to be efficacious, also adapts to reality, to events, and to the times.

Above all, leadership is creative. It is important for leaders of the 21st century to envision themselves as citizens of the world with a much larger field of vision and values.

Building partnerships and alliances of all kinds is more important for today than it was in the past. Leaders place a high priority on developing and animating relational skills in themselves and others, forming a we that includes and vivifies community members in relationship to mission. Spirited leadership draws on much more than skills and competencies. As with religious life itself, there is always at work the more which is mystery, grace, and the power of God’s Spirit.

At the core of leadership is the ability to reflect on, digest, and learn from one’s experience and to do so in solitude and in community.

Leadership is always assessing the present moment in the light of the long-term life and character of the community. Decisions are made that take the total context of the present moment into consideration. Leadership always moves toward the religious act rather than that which is administrative.

Leadership takes place in a context of change. Leaders search for a balance between a community’s aspirations and its capacity to achieve. It is the role of leadership and of creative leadership to formulate the strategies for change and especially to accompany persons through these changes. Change requires time, resources, and personal energy.

The deeper the change, the more is required in terms of time, resources, and energy for implementation. What is most important is growth in the leaders and in the members.

The remarkable thing is that each and all of us have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change yesterday, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.

We cannot change the inevitable. We are responsible for our attitudes. Attitudes are more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearances, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a leader; it will make or break a community. Victor Frankl has said that everything can be taken from us but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.

Members expect hope and trust from leaders. Hope is primordial, signifying that there are tomorrows that beckon and new possibilities. The future is built today, where the seeds for the better or for the worse are already sown. Everything depends on the

vision and the price leaders and community members are ready to pay to achieve it.

We hear the voice of our founder, Angela, echoing in our hearts: Have hope and firm faith in God, for he will help you in everything (Prologue to the Counsels).

Jesus, the Son of God, is the model for leadership. Jesus changed the distress of the disciples on the road to Emmaus into a new energy and a new desire to share with others in community. In these times of unceasing change, leaders, more than ever, need a deepening understanding of what it means to be called by Christ to serve. Leaders need to have a passion for the person of Christ and a desire to be where he is.

“The Son of Man has come not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many” Mark 10:45.

Again, we hear the voice of Angela: For in these perilous and pestilential times, you will find no other recourse than to take refuge at the feet of Jesus Christ (Seventh Counsel).

And what does the cross teach us? The cross is not about suffering, the cross is about love. And when we love, we stretch out our hands in the form of the cross. We are capable of giving and receiving. Leadership is for the other. !

Sister Rose Marita O’Bryan served as congregational leader of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph, 1996-2004. She previsously served as a member of the Council, as vocation director, and in education and pastoral ministry.

In the Joy of Eternal Life Glenmary Sister Teresita Pionke, 87, died July 10 at Maple Mount. She came in 1994 to reside in Lourdes Hall, the former infirmary, and moved to Saint Joseph Villa with its completion in 2002.

A native of Chicago, Sister Teresita was a member of the Glenmary Home Mission Sisters of America for 51 years. She ministered in small towns and rural communities in Ohio, Kentucky, and Georgia. She taught catechetics, visited the destitute, and was a hospital chaplain.

She was the driving force behind the establishment of a training center and group homes for women in Burke County, Georgia.

Sister Teresita is survived by her sister, Frances Pionke of Niles, Illinois, her Glenmary Community, and her many Ursuline friends. A memorial Mass was celebrated on July 21 at Saint Stephen Cathedral, Owensboro.

Soli Deo Gloria We rejoice in the gifts of our sisters, given for the kingdom of God

Sister Margaret Ann Zinselmeyer, assistant director of Hope House Day Care Center, in Memphis, was recognized September 26 for her service as a professional caregiver in the HIV/AIDS community.

Recognition took place during an AIDS Healing Service at Calvary Episcopal Church. Hope House director Betty Dupont said that Sister Margaret Ann “helped open the doors of Hope House over nine years ago, and she continues to open the minds and hearts of the Hope House children and their families today.” She described Sister as the guardian angel of the children and parents who come to Hope House — “a shoulder to cry on, a friend with a listening ear, and a financier to help them find the financial means to make changes in their lives.” Dr. Dupont said that “she is a Roman Catholic Sister in faith, but more importantly, she is a sister, a mother, and a friend in her heart to all.” Hope House is a nonprofit agency committed to familycentered, community-based, coordinated care for children ages six weeks through six years who are infected or affected by HIV and AIDS. Sisters Marita Greenwell and Marie Bosco Wathen received 30-year service awards at the Brescia University Awards Banquet on August 19.

Sister Marita served as the longtime director of the university’s Contemporary Woman Program, for which she still directs noncredit seminars. She has directed the Parish Outreach Speakers Program, has served on the staff of the counseling center, and has been a member of the Ministry Formation Advisory Committee. Her many awards include being named Woman of the Year by the Owensboro Business and Professional Women’s Organization.

Sister Marie Bosco served as associate professor of education and coordinator of the middle grades program. She developed the middle grades certification program, for which she was commended by the Kentucky Department of Education. She worked diligently in numerous accreditation processes, helped students with certification and suppported them in student teaching. Former students remember her as a person of inspiration, full of humor and insight and always ready to listen. Currently she works at Brescia as assistant in institutional research.

Sister Sandra Elder has been appointed treasurer and business administrator of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph. Previously she has served as assistant treasurer with the Dominican Sisters of Saint Catharine and director of finance for the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. She holds an M.S. in Management and a B.S. in Business Administration from Brescia University.

Sister Mary Diane Taylor, chair of the Division of Fine Arts at Brescia University, recently displayed stained glass works as part of a faculty exhibit at the university. Sister Mary Diane’s work included eight pieces, most of which were represented by photographs, since they are already installed in various homes. Besides courses in stained glass, Sister Mary Diane also teaches printmaking, calligraphy, and art history. She is in her 38th year of full-time service at Brescia.

Sister Mary Clement Greenwell received a 20year service award from the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). She has been one of several retired Ursulines who regularly visit the senior nutrition site in Curdsville — just two miles from the Mount, for meals, recreation, and crocheting of baby blankets for HANDS (Health Access Nurturing Development Services), which serves families with newborns. Now confined to a wheelchair, Sister Mary Clement no longer travels to Curdsville, but she continues to crochet blankets at home. A teacher for almost 50 years, Sister Mary Clement celebrated her 75th jubilee as an Ursuline Sister in 2002.

We salute Sister Jane Miriam Hancock for her dedication of many years as an ambassador for the Mount picnic. This year alone, she sold over 28,000 raffle tickets — about half of all tickets sold — face to face to our Ursuline friends in central and western Kentucky. We are grateful for those persons who know our mission and support our retired sisters because of Sister Jane Miriam. We thank God for her good health, enthusiasm, and willingness to live “out of a suitcase” for many weeks each summer. She has been an Ursuline for 62 years and was a teacher for 50 years.

Sister Martha Keller has been named to the Steering Committee of the Ursuline Society, representing the Western Triad that includes Ursuline communities in Belleville, Illinois, Paola, Kansas, and Maple Mount, Kentucky. She was appointed by the congregational leaders of these communities. The purpose of the Ursuline Society is to “create a new model of Ursuline community together,” and to “establish new patterns of relationship among us that will take us beyond collaboration and toward integration.” Members are the nine independent Ursuline congregations in the United States. Sister Martha is pastoral associate and director of faith formation for St. Stephen Cathedral Parish, Owensboro. continued on page 7

Leading in the Spirit of Angela Merici continued from page 3

We, like they and like other leaders, are ordinary people sometimes asked or expected to do extraordinary things. But wait — all of us have been called, and it was on all of us that the fire of the Spirit rested. On July 11, in my opening address to the community, I asked the sisters to close their eyes and list the expectations they had of their new leadership — what they hoped we would do, what they hoped we would not do, what they hoped would happen in the next six years. Then I challenged them to ask themselves what they were willing to do to make their expectations a reality.

Any group of people is a living system, and every living system has within it the energy, wisdom, and skills needed to function and grow.

And every member of every group is responsible for making that happen. It’s up to the leaders to channel the energy, to free the wisdom, and to promote the skills of the group.

Everyone has an image of what a leader should look like. What’s your image? A knight with upraised sword? A bearded, sandaled guru?

Someone on a throne? I think perhaps the best leaders are invisible.

You might not know they are there, but if they have done their job you can see the effects of their leadership in the group they lead.

How will we know, at the end of our six-year term, whether we have been successful leaders? If we have been “midwives,” creating a climate where creativity flourishes and where gifts buried deep are brought to light. If we have been “cheerleaders,” empowering and encouraging

Among Our Many Friends...

Ursuline Associate Bonnie Marks completes her third year as chairperson of the annual Mount Picnic, a benefit for the retired sisters. Her leadership and dedication remind us of those who accompanied Saint Angela in her ministry, giving good advice and working with her for the good of others. She has graciously shared her many talents and enlisted those of many others during these three years. The Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph give thanks to God for Bonnie and her family.

Associates Paul and Jean Thieneman graciously hosted more than 80 guests at a a cheese and wine reception May 11 at Ferd Grisanti’s Restaurant in Louisville to promote the Flatboat Adventure. Sister Suzanne is shown presenting the Thienemans with a token of appreciation during a brief program at the restaurant. The brother of Ursuline Sister Rosalin Thieneman, Paul sends a yearly gift — a truckload of fruit baskets from Paul’s Markets — to be raffled in the Fruit Booth at the Mount Picnic.

and keeping hope alive. If we have been “optometrists,” helping our sisters to see what a treasure our community has been in the past, to see the good we are doing in the present, and to see where we are being called in the future.

Midwives, cheerleaders, and optometrists…rather odd images of leadership for you! Yet those three approaches to leadership can be found in the writings of our founder, Saint Angela Merici. Leaders of religious communities like the Ursulines and Angelines and other groups which claim Angela as their founder have the rare privilege of having a set of directives which were actually written just for them!

Angela’s Counsels (addressed to the “Colonelli,” or leaders of her early Company) are a rich source of insight into the qualities of leadership that she valued.

She wants her leaders to be INVISIBLE. “Do not consider yourselves worthy to be leaders. Rather regard yourselves as ministers and servants.” “Consider yourselves less than they.” She instructs them to be humble, tactful, and gentle; to lead by modeling virtue and by doing everything that is expected of the other sisters.

Angela’s Counsels are full of words that would apply to MIDWIFE leaders: advice to be kind, gentle, compassionate, and advice on how to empower others. She must have been a real CHEERLEADER herself, for her writings are full of calls to support, encourage, and comfort.

“Go often…and visit them,” she urges, and “lift the hearts” of the sisters. Finally, Angela was a great OPTOMETRIST leader herself, translating her childhood visions into a way of life for women that was revolutionary in the Church of that time. Yet she allowed her daughters the freedom to see and follow their own visions, telling them to “Do what has to be done,” and — one of the most notable lines in any of the original early religious rules — “If according to times and circumstances, the need arises to make new rules or do something differently, do it prudently and with good advice.”

Even in the Old Testament (with all its wars and intrigue and violence) great leaders — even warrior leaders — are most commonly described as just, fair, wise, gentle, and humble…far from the image of the knight with upraised sword. And we who are Christian find in the person of Jesus the ideal of a compassionate healer and humble servant, who taught the best lesson on leadership with a towel around his waist before the last supper.

Every one of us is called to leadership at some point, whether in our family, in a small group of friends, or in our church or civic communities. The lessons of leadership we find in Jesus or Angela are applied even by best-selling management authors Peter Drucker or Max DePree, and are aptly summed up by the Chinese philosopher Lao Tse, who said, “When the best leader’s work is done, the people say, ‘We did it ourselves!’” !

Sister Michele Morek is congregational leader of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph. She was a member of the Council, 1992-2000.

Angela Merici: Prophet of Hope North American Ursulines celebrate in Pittsburgh

by Sister Suzanne Sims, OSU

S

ome 350 Ursuline Sisters and Associates of North America came together in Pittsburgh for the fourth triennual Ursuline Convocation, July 16-18, 2004.

Those gathered celebrated the charism of Saint Angela Merici in three languages and a rich diversity of cultures and expression. This convocation energized gifts of prayer, faith sharing, ritual, song, and challenging speakers to engage the participants in reflection on “Saint Angela: Prophet of Hope for Our Day.” Mary McCormick, OSU, from the Youngstown community, provided an insightful presentation of Saint Angela’s time compared with our own. Sister Mary proposed that both times in social and church history call for the kind of prophetic imagination that Angela Merici put into the founding of the Company of Saint Ursula.

Our Ursuline congregation, according to Sister Mary, can be a “natural habitat for nurturing prophetic voices” in our church and in our world. The “constructive” or prophetic imagination flourishes in an environment where persons reflect on and establish right relationships by endeavoring to acquire the skills of contemplative dialogue and remaining faithful to personal and communal prayer.

Ursulines of Mount Saint Joseph who participated in the 2004 Ursuline Convocation are, front from left: Sisters Pam Mueller, Nancy Murphy, Cecelia Joseph Olinger, Suzanne Sims. Back row: Sisters Vickie Cravens, Clarence Marie Luckett, Ruth Mattingly, Mary Angela Matthews, Jean Richard Stukenholtz, Clara Reid, Ann McGrew, Barbara Jean Head, Maureen Griner.

Thirteen Ursulines of Mount Saint Joseph attended the convocation. Several of them, reflecting on this experience, wrote that the sharing at their tables helped them to be more hopeful and excited about being Ursuline. They found it easy to meet and talk with other Ursulines, even though they had come as strangers to one another.. The spirit of Saint Angela present in the assembly helped some to experience her as more alive in daily life and very much in tune with the Scriptures. The gifts of Saint Angela’s charism among the differing congregations removed the normal barriers, creating spiritual bonds of trust, prayerfulness, and hopefulness for our shared future. !

Sister Suzanne Sims is Director of Mission Advancement for the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph. She has served in congregational leadership, as a college president, in elementary and college education, and in parish ministry.

Sister Marie Julie Fecher was a recipient of the Maple Leaf Award during the annual Mount Saint Joseph Alumnae Reunion, May 1416. The award honors graduates of Mount Saint Joseph Academy or College who “are making a difference by their service to their church, Mount Saint Joseph, or the community at large.” An Ursuline Sister for 62 years, Sister Marie Julie ministered as a musician and teacher for 50 years, including 18 years at Brescia College. She continues to serve as liturgist and organist at the motherhouse. She was nominated for the award as a person who “shares her many gifts spontaneously and generously,” and one “whose greatest gift is empathy with the joys and pains of others.”

Sister Grace Simpson was honored for 20 years of service at a Louisville Catholic Charities staff recognition luncheon on September 3. As a caseworker at the Sister Visitor Center, Sister Grace interviews persons seeking help and leads a corps of volunteers in providing groceries, transportation, financial assistance, and many other services for the needy. “Grace goes beyond the call of duty in order that the poor receive what they need,” says Sister Margaret Marie Greenwell, a fellow worker at Sister Visitor.

Sister Julia Marie Head, pastoral associate at Immaculate Parish, Owensboro, is the 2004 winner of the Bishop John J. McRaith Catechetical Award. Her pastor, Father Timothy Sweeney, OSB, recognized Sister Julia’s “almost total commitment to catechetical work,” noting that “she seems to be constantly thinking of ways to improve what’s being done.” In accepting the award, Sister Julia acknowledged the lifelong influence of her parents and grandparents, teachers, pastors, and fellow ministers.

Bequests The following persons of faith now share in the Ursuline legacy in the company of Saint Angela and all our beloved dead. In life, they made a decision to share a bequest with us. Since their deaths, we ask God to reward them with eternal life, for their good works go with them. They shall “shine as stars for all eternity” (Daniel 12:3) for their support of the Ursuline mission and ministries.

Congratulations!

We lift our hats and congratulate Father Phil Riney, brother of our late Sister Mary Leon Riney, who celebrates his 80th birthday November 5. Father Phil’s priestly ministry continues to touch many people, as he substitutes in parishes around the Owensboro Diocese and, during his winter vacation, in Florida.

On weekdays he’s usually enjoying retirement in his home on Rough River Lake, where he nurtures a beautiful yard and hosts fellow priests for golf and cards. Your Ursuline Sisters wish you many more happy, health years, Father Phil. Happy Birthday!

Joe and Sue Riney also celebrated 80th birthdays this summer, and their 60th wedding anniversary in September. Sue and Joe, our former farm manager, lived many years at the Mount and reared seven wonderful children here: Mary Jo Kirby, Louisville; T. Edward, Owensboro; Father Jerry, Holy Spirit Parish, Bowling Green; Janet Murphy, Owensboro; Bob, Dallas; Jane Gaffey, Aurora, Colorado, Maria Thompson, Owensboro; and Ann Culver, Atlanta. From his family Joe received a trip back to Japan, where he served in World War II. Sue’s daughters and daughter-in-law, Mary Rose, took her to Las Vegas. We thank Joe and Sue for their longlasting friendship with the Ursuline Sisters and ask God to continue to bless them as they enjoy many more years together.

Honoring the Living Frequently we receive messages from former students, alumnae, colleagues, friends or family members of one of our Ursuline Sisters, asking that we accept a gift in her honor or in honor of someone else whom they admire. This form of thanksgiving for the life and ministry of the living is humbly accepted and deeply appreciated.

Ultimately, our trust is in God’s providential care. However, like Saint Angela in her time, we depend on the support of many people.

Angela moved around northern Italy helping those in need, depending on others of means to sponsor her travel, her living expenses, and her ministry on behalf of the poor, especially the youth of her time. In 2003-2004, we depended on your annual donations listed here to carry out our many ministries to the poor, the marginalized, and those whose lives need the touch of God’s love and mercy in Kentucky and seven other states, as well as in Chile, South America.

In August 1874, five Ursuline Sisters boarded a flatboat in Louisville to begin a journey downriver to establish a school and, eventually, a new religious community at Maple Mount. In August 2004, a group of Ursulines of Mount Saint Joseph reenacted this journey, to educate the public about the community and its mission, about religious vocations, and about Kentucky history in the late 18th century. The travelers were welcomed everywhere they landed. Schoolchidren followed the journey via computer. Media from coast to coast covered the trip. Photos: 1)Captain John Cooper, flatboat builder and captain, guides the boat into Cloverport, Kentucky.

2)Morning prayer on the river.

3)A large crowd welcomes the travelers to Owensboro. 4)Sister Michele Morek, with Maple Mount founder Father Paul Joseph Volk (Father Brian Roby) speaks to dignitaries and friends at the Owensboro reception.

5)A happy group of Ursulines sings the Magnificat. 6)Sheila and Bruce Blandford, descendant of the family who welcomed the first Ursulines to their new home. 7)Like their predecessors, the travelers arrived at the Mount in a mule-drawn wagon.

8)This monument on the front campus commemorates the pioneer Ursulines’ first meal: watermelon and buttermilk.
