Inside Message from the provincial Northeast Province joins Central Sisters move from Queen of Peace Honor roll of donors new leadership team for the Ursuline Sisters of the Central Province, appointed in March, was installed in April at the Alton Convent in Alton, Ill. Members of the new team are Sister Rita Ann Bregenhorn, provincial; Sister Ann Barrett, councilor; Sister Mary Ann Dooling, councilor; Sister Julie Hickey, councilor; and Sister Jean Hopman, councilor. After consultation with the sisters in the Central Province, appointments to the new team were made by Mother Cecilia Wang, general prioress of the Ursulines of the Roman Union. The new team will serve a three-year term. Sister Rita Ann Bregenhorn, the new provincial leader, is a native of Springfield, Ill. She served as a pastoral associate at St. Patrick Church of Merna in Bloomington, Ill., for the past 17 continued on page 2 Sister Julie lives mission in work with homeless W hen Sister Julie Hickey began ministering to the homeless at Haven for Hope in San Antonio, she didn’t know that what she gave of herself would be returned many times over in this ministry she considers a blessing. “My ministry at Haven for Hope is very much an experience of receiving from another,” she says. Described as a place of hope and new beginnings for people experiencing homelessness, Haven for Hope offers job training, child care, medical care, education, behavioral health care, spiritual care, substance recovery and more. With more than 90 partners, Haven for Hope serves the needs of an estimated 1,500 persons on two campuses each day. Sister Julie volunteered at Haven for Hope for more than a year before beginning a full-time position in Spiritual Services in August 2011. Before that she was a teacher and then a staff member at an intercongregational sabbatical program. “While taking a course for formation ministry, I heard Anthony J. Gittins, CSSP speak about his ministry to women on the streets in Chicago,” she says. “I had just completed my training in spiritual continued on page 2 As Ursulines of the Central Province, members of a worldwide community of Catholic sisters, we are women whose lives and mission are rooted in the gospel of Jesus and the spirit of our foundress, Angela Merici. Grounded and empowered by our relationship with God and with one another, in prayer and community, we seek to be a compassionate, reconciling presence of God in our world. 2 Leadership continued from page 1 years and was a part-time councilor on the leadership team for the past seven years. Sister Ann Barrett of Kirkwood, Mo., has served in leadership full time since 2005. Sister Mary Ann Dooling, a native of Alton, Ill., has served in leadership since 2008. She also teaches theology at Ursuline Academy of St. Louis. New to Central Province leadership are Sister Jean Hopman and Sister Julie Hickey. Sister Jean, originally from San Francisco, has served in Chicago for 11 years, most recently as co-vocations director of the Ursuline Sisters of the United States provinces. Now living in St. Louis, she will continue her role in vocations while serving as a councilor. Born in Lincoln, Ill., Sister Julie has spent most of her years of ministry in Texas. Since 2009 she has been a spiritual care developer at Haven for Hope, a multi-resource facility for the homeless in San Antonio, and will continue in that role while serving in leadership. The installation was held at the Alton Convent, which closed in September, to provide an opportunity for the sisters to gather one more time and reflect on their long history there while preparing to move ahead to new beginnings. Sister Julie Hickey continued from page 1 direction and I knew without a doubt as Father Gittins spoke, that God was inviting me to be a listening presence to persons who find themselves homeless.” As a spiritual care director at Haven for Hope, Sister Julie’s focus is in developing programs for “soul friends,” which is the name given to volunteers who provide a one-on-one presence to individuals on campus. “I give orientation and assist in developing ongoing training for volunteers in this role,” she says. “Each day is different. I’ve learned to go with the flow. We often joke that ‘flexibility’ is our middle name at Haven. I’m available for pastoral care to individuals on both campuses. I consider the heartbeat of the campus to be recovery team meetings with case management. We work as a team to ensure the needs of individuals are compassionately addressed. “I also meet with new volunteers for orientation and creative planning with the rest of spiritual services staff. We are a small staff of five for more than 1,400 to 1,500 individuals. We couldn’t do what we do without the faithful commitment of our volunteers.” For Sister Julie, Haven for Hope is an ideal place to live the Ursuline mission, “rooted in the Gospel of Jesus and the spirit of Ursuline foundress St. Angela Sister Julie finds Haven for Hope is an ideal place to live the Merici, seeking Ursuline mission. always to be a compassionate, reconciling presence campus, I’m reminded of the phrase of God in our world.” Indeed, Sister ‘mission from the margins.’ I hear stories Julie says the most rewarding part of vulnerability and pain, yet I also hear of her ministry is “being a listening stories of challenge and hope. From presence as individuals share their the margins, I experience the diverse pain and challenges, yet also their expressions of God’s love.” deep faith in God in the midst of their Sister Julie finds she is touched daily challenges. A healing and transformation by people who are living on the edge but happens in the midst of the sharing possess a deep richness within. “I came and the listening. It is the Spirit-filled to Haven for Hope believing that I was conversations in the midst of each day the one to bring hope and compassion to that I find most rewarding. another. Yet in reality it is an experience “My ministry at Haven for Hope of mutuality. I receive so much from is very much an experience of receiving those I serve. Angela’s words come alive from another,” Sister Julie says. “As I in those experiences.” listen to the stories of volunteers and individuals on the Haven for Hope 3 A Message from the Provincial N ovember brings many things to mind but for most of us gratitude would be at the top of the list. We have been blessed with so much and need to recognize our many gifts and give thanks. Also during this month of November, as we watch trees and shrubs turn from vibrant green to bright shades of yellow, orange and red, we are reminded of the changes that take place in our own lives. As we read in scripture “there is a time for everything.” For our Central Province Ursuline community, these two themes of gratitude and change resonate very much. We have received many blessings and must continue to show our gratitude. Among our many blessings to be counted are you, the wonderful, generous people who have remembered us by your gifts. Former students, colleagues with whom we minister now and in the past, friends and family are among the many who have blessed us with gifts and we are very grateful to you. To the theme of change, our province has experienced many in just the last year. A new leadership team began their ministry role in April, our Alton convent and infirmary closed and the sisters have moved to other locations, and our province welcomed our sisters of the Northeast Province as a community of Central Province called the Mère Marie community. So now our Central Province extends from Minnesota to Texas and extends welcoming arms to our sisters in Maine and Massachusetts. These changes and moves have brought many sacrifices for the sisters, but the great faith and trust with which they met each situation has truly been an inspiration for all of us. You may read more about these changes in this issue of Laurels. It has been a very busy and rewarding time for all of us and it is with a heart full of gratitude that we can say, “for all that has been, we give thanks and for all that will be, yes.” Thank you to each and every one and may God bless you. Rita Ann Bregenhorn, osu Provincial, Ursulines of the Central Province Ursuline Sisters in Northeast join Central Province O n Oct. 21, the Feast of St. Ursula, the Ursuline Sisters of the Northeast Province became a community of the Ursuline Sisters in the Central Province. A Mass and ritual of welcoming ceremony were held in Waterville, Maine. Sister Rita Ann Bregenhorn, provincial, and Sister Chabanel Mathison represented the Central Province at the event. The Northeast Province was incorporated into the Central Province due to its small number of sisters, who are mostly elderly. The Ursulines in the new community, named Mère Marie, live primarily in Lewiston and Waterville, Maine, and will remain there. As part of the day’s ceremonies, Sister Chabanel was installed as prioress, or leader, of Mère Marie, with responsibility for overseeing the welfare of the 20 sisters in this community. She will continue to live in St. Louis but visit regularly. As part of the ritual of incorporation and welcoming, members of the new Mère Marie community signed their names in the Book of the Company of the Central Province as Angela Merici and the first members of the Company of St. Ursula signed their names in the Book of the Company. The day also included a celebratory dinner and time spent enjoying each other’s company as a community. “To have this event on the Feast of St. Ursula really makes it special because the courage, the faith and the trust of these women are a living example of Angela and her spirit,” Sister Rita Ann Sister Lorraine Pomerleau of the Mère Marie Community adds her name to the Book of the Company of the Central Province. says. “These are the same qualities that Angela saw in Ursula, which led her to choose her as patroness of this company of women.” 4 Sisters move from Queen of Peace to new homes Sister Mary Ellen Garvey gets a visit from Sister Susan Kienzler at Francis Place. I n September, the Ursulines completed the transition of their sisters living in the Queen of Peace health care center and the convent in Alton, Ill, to other retirement and health care facilities in Alton, St. Louis and New Orleans. The sisters are living together in community in their new homes. The Ursuline Sisters reached a consensus to close Queen of Peace during a province meeting held late last year. This followed an extensive, 18-month study and long-range planning process for Ursuline ministries, community living arrangements and health care. The study Sister Carla Marie Crabtree visits with an alum at Our Lady of Wisdom. Sisters Mary Ann Luth and Joan Bretz enjoy the morning at Francis Place. showed that providing quality health care in Queen of Peace was becoming cost prohibitive, so the sisters dedicated themselves to finding places that would meet their elderly sisters’ daily living and health care needs now and in the future. The goal was to find facilities that would offer loving, quality care to the sisters, support the Ursuline values of community, offer availability of the Eucharist and other spiritual opportunities, and provide proximity to other Ursulines. The sisters who lived at Queen of Peace and the Alton Convent have now formed new Ursuline communities in three places: Our Lady of Wisdom in New Orleans, St. Clare’s in Alton, and Francis Place in Eureka, Mo. (just outside of St. Louis). Living in groups, they are able to enjoy the companionship of one another and other religious living in the facilities. And they are not without company. Ursuline Sisters in each area are regular visitors, making it a point to stop in for a visit, checking to see how each sister is doing, bringing news of the province, and sharing conversation and laughter.

Now living in New Orleans, she knows there is still much history to be researched and recorded there, too, and she doesn’t plan to let her 17 years of training and experience go to waste. After many years of teaching and serving as a principal in schools in Missouri, Sister Rosemary was asked by the Ursulines’ provincial leader to take on the role of archivist. “Since I had no preparation in archival work, my first goal was to get some training in the work of an archivist,” she says. For this purpose I attended sessions at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and at Catholic University in D.C. “After determining what needed to be done in the Ursuline Archives, I began cataloging the materials that were at our Provincialate in Crystal City, worked with other archivists in provinces and communities, and helped to move the archives from Crystal City to St. Louis,” she says. While she spent most of time at the archives in downtown St. Louis, she visited the province offices in Like us on Facebook Kirkwood at least once a week to work on historical displays. She usually came with new stories and interesting information she had uncovered to share with the province staff. Sister Rosemary says she enjoyed too many aspects of her work to choose a favorite. “The many contacts I have made with our sisters, assisting persons in making connections with our nuns, identifying our burial sites and cemeteries, and sharing interesting data from the archives through displays are just some of the activities that I have enjoyed.” As for her new life in New Orleans? “While I have ‘retired’ from the work in the province archives, I am still involved with archival work. The history of the Ursulines in New Orleans is intertwined with that of the city and the Church in this area, and I am happy to be able to work with our archives here,” she says. “With the upcoming celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans on Jan. 8, there is much that is being offered about the Ursulines and the role the nuns played in that battle. And work in the archives is never completed, so I am not idle these days.” Sister Rosemary shares a piece of Ursuline history in the St. Louis archives.

When a gift is designated to be used where most needed, we allocate it to the fund where the need is most urgent. Gifts to the Retirement Fund assure quality care for every sister during retirement, most of whom are in assisted-living or skilled-care facilities. Your gift to the Angela Merici Fund aids Ursulines who are working among the poor and marginalized, especially with women and children. We are most grateful for your enduring friendship and generous support. A Ms. Jeanne Marie Aber Mr. & Mrs. Allen J. Abernathy Mr. Garry H. Abfalter Mrs. Marilyn K.

Walsh Considering a charitable gift annuity? O ne way in which many people support a favorite charitable organization that benefits the organization and the donor is through a charitable gift annuity. If you’ve ever considered investing in a charitable gift annuity with the Ursuline Sisters, the following Q&A may be of help in deciding if it’s right for you. What is a charitable gift annuity? A charitable gift annuity is a kind of charitable donation that involves an irrevocable contract between the donor and the charity. The charity agrees to make regular fixedamount payments (usually quarterly) to the benefactor for the remainder of his or her life. When the benefactor dies, the charity keeps the gift. How is the amount of the payments to the benefactor determined? The amount of the payments is customarily determined by a standard percentage rate periodically set by the American Council on Gift Annuities. Furthermore, the rates are affected by investment market conditions and the annuitant’s age on the date of the gift. What are the income tax consequences of charitable gift annuities? There are two unique tax characteristics of charitable gift annuities: • A portion of each annuity payment is tax-free for all the years of the annuitant’s actuarially expected remaining lifetime. The exact amounts of the taxable and nontaxable portions of the payments depend on the annuitant’s age at the time of the gift. • A portion of the amount invested in the annuity is tax deductible as a charitable contribution. Subject to usual tax law and regulation limits, the benefactor may take the deduction during the year of the gift. Any part of the deduction not claimed during the first year may be claimed in the following five years. Can two persons jointly enter into a charitable gift annuity contract? Yes, the contract can be designed to be paid to one person for his or her lifetime and then continue payments to a second designated person for the remainder of his or her life. This feature very effectively assures a married couple a constant amount of payments for the remainders of both their lives. The rates paid in these contracts depend, among other factors, on the ages of both annuitants. We would be pleased to discuss the many benefits of charitable gift annuities and will gladly provide you with personalized calculations of the amounts and taxable characteristics of gifts you may consider making to the Ursuline Sisters. Contact the Development Office at 314-821-6884. We recommend that you talk with your attorney, accountant or financial adviser before making any decisions regarding significant charitable gifts. 15 Mrs. Lynette Walsh Ms. Peggy C.
