We are pleased to report that you, our donors, have generously

elderly and infirm sisters.

funds through your own parishes. This year, we were awarded
$325,929 from these collections.

2 CONNECTING
This year, we added two new events to our schedule and
are pleased to report an enthusiastic response from sponsors
and attendees. In March, we inaugurated our first annual
Living the Dream Dinner to celebrate the 140th anniversary
of our sisters in the Greater Boston area. This event raised
$632,765 for the support of our retired sisters and our
ministries.
April saw the fifth anniversary of The Women’s Table
which was celebrated with our first annual “A Place at the
Table.” This event generated 165 donations for a total of
$14,661.
Partners in Ministry
The Partners in Ministry program recognizes those who
have chosen to remember us in their wills and estate plans.
This year, we received $317,238 as non-restricted donations
from planned gifts and $26,389 designated especially for
the care of our elderly and infirm sisters.
CSJ Ministries
In addition to the funding received for our congregation
ministries through the Office of Mission Advancement
activities, these ministries engage in additional fundraising
activities in order to fulfill their mission. Congregation
ministries include: Casserly House in Roslindale, The
Women’s Table and The Literacy Connection in Brighton,
and St. Joseph Retreat Center in Cohasset.
Casserly House raised $40,906 in donations and $42,450
in grants. These gifts fund the newsletter, adult literacy and
summer camp programs, as well as other ongoing programs.
The Literacy Connection received $40,700 through grants
and $16,309 through individual donations. St. Joseph
Retreat Center received $8,590 in donations for general
support and $3,949 in temporarily restricted donations for
furnishings and various other items. The Women’s Table,
in addition to the proceeds from its inaugural event, raised
$13,250 in gifts for the support and empowerment of
women.
From the President
Dear Friends,
St. Paul's greeting in his letter to the Ephesians is
one which is ours for you. "We cease not giving
thanks for you, always making mention of you in our
prayers." As our 140th anniversary year concludes,
our hearts are full of gratitude for each of you who
so thoughtfully gift us with your donations and
remembrances. Your generosity greatly enhances the life
and works of our sisters and energizes us as we plan for the
present and future life of the Congregation.
As Sisters of St. Joseph, we continue to be about many meaningful and
exciting things. A good number of our sisters and associates are forwarding the
CSJ mission and charism through their dedicated work in our Congregation
ministries: The Literacy Program, Casserly House, the Women's Table, and
St. Josephs Retreat Center. Many of our sisters are also actively engaged in
ministry at our sponsored schools: Regis College, Fontbonne Academy, St.
Joseph Preparatory High School, and the Jackson-Walnut Park Schools. Others
also bring our CSJ presence to the Bethany Hill School Apartment community
as well as to their own particular ministries and local parishes.
Places of special remembrance are Bethany Health Care Center and
St. Joseph Hall where, each day, our sisters are about the ministry of
accompaniment and intentional remembrance of you in their prayers. On a
recent visit to Bethany, I once again observed Sister Greta, our oldest sister
at 103, sitting in her wheel chair praying for her long list of accumulated
intentions in which you have a special place of remembrance.
During the fall, I had the opportunity of co-leading a CSJ Heritage
pilgrimage to Le Puy, France, for sisters and associates from throughout the
United States and Canada. As we stood in the simple French kitchen where our
first sisters began our community, I had a profound awareness that what they
began in such an ordinary way has evolved into a powerful presence of Sisters
of St. Joseph and Associates throughout the world. As I stood in this space - so
sacred to our heritage, our mission, and our spirituality, my prayer was that we
be as open and enthused about God's invitation to serve the “dear neighbor”
of our time and as courageous in our response as our first sisters, knowing
full well this can only happen through your continued support and generosity.
With gratitude,
Rosemary Brennan, CSJ,President

From the Office of Mission Advancement
Welcome to the 2014 Fall
issue of CONNECTING!
On behalf of all the
Sisters of St. Joseph,
Associates, and staff,
we wish you a Blessed and
Happy Christmas Season.
A
s the celebration of our 140th year comes
to a close, I am happy to share with you our
2013/2014 Advancement Giving Report for
the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
To all of you who were so generous, supporting our
semi-annual appeals, sponsoring and attending our
events, using our card and In Lieu of Flowers programsTHANK YOU! I would also like to express gratitude to
those kind people who remembered the Congregation of
the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston through their wills and
estates. Your thoughtfulness makes our continued work
possible.
You probably know that our sisters who are physically
able are fully engaged in ministering to the “dear
neighbor” in schools, nursing homes, parishes, social
service agencies, one to one outreach and more, in ways
too numerous to list on this page! Did you also know
that additionally, our sisters connect “neighbor with
neighbor and neighbor with God” through four ministries
staffed and supported by this Congregation? These are
The Literacy Connection and The Women’s Table in
Brighton, Casserly House in Roslindale and St. Joseph
Retreat Center in Cohasset. In this issue, we take you
inside to meet the dedicated sisters, associates, and
qualified tutors who staff these ministries and learn about
their programs.
As you enjoy the crisp air and God’s autumn palette,
know that we hold you in our hearts and prayers and are
grateful for every gift you bestow on us!
Carol Mack
Director of Mission Advancement

The front cover photographs represent the following ministries
The Literacy Connection, St. Joseph Retreat Center, The
Women’s Table, and Casserly House.The story of the Sisters of
St. Joseph springs from a small group of courageous women.
They were lace makers who wove a pattern of inclusive love
across 17th century France and across the world. Over 360
years later we continue to weave the threads of God’s generous
love in our families, our neighborhoods, and our world. Back

If It Doesn’t Say
Boston,
It’s Not Ours
We have, once again, received phone calls
and notes from our friends, relatives, and
donors saying that they have received
solicitations from the Sisters of St. Joseph
of Springfield.
We share many things with our Springfield
sisters: history, tradition, friendship,
community, and a passion for mission. We
do not share finances. We do not share
our mailing list with any other group.
Nonprofits can purchase mailing lists from
magazines and companies. The Springfield
sisters do, and that is why you receive their
mailings.

n October 31, 2014, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh spoke
eloquently to a crowd of approximately 175 people about
the sisters influence in his life and the importance of
programs like The Literacy Connection and The Women’s Table to
the people of the city of Boston. The occasion was our 7th annual Fall
Luncheon.
Representative Kevin Honan was honored with the CSJ Community
Service Award - recognizing his love for and service to the Allston/
Brighton community. In an especially memorable moment, Sister
Maureen Doherty, Assistant President of the Sisters of St. Joseph and
Sister Pat Andrews, Director of The Literacy Connection, donned
top hats and serenaded Kevin with their customized version of “One
Singular Sensation.” Margarita Montero, a former student of The
Literacy Connection spoke movingly about the impact the program
had on her life. Everyone attending enjoyed a wonderful lunch
provided by Devlin’s Bistro & Pub, Brighton, MA. We are looking
forward to 2015!

Please be sure your gift
reaches its intended destination.

he Literacy Connection reaches out
especially to adults most in need
of services, to provide English
language skills and a pathway to U.S.
Citizenship. This in turn opens opportunities for
themselves and their families. It builds stronger
communities, and the social and cultural fabric of
our society is enriched. Sister Pat Andrews often
thinks of the roots of the Sisters of St. Joseph in
terms of her current day ministry.
In 1873, when four Sisters of St. Joseph from
Brooklyn, NY arrived in Boston, they found
themselves in a city full of immigrants, and four
days later they opened a school for 200 children.
Twenty-seven years ago, The Literacy Connection
came into being with that same concern for
helping an immigrant population (this time adults)
alleviate language differences.
At the Celebration of Achievement and Gratitude
in June 2014, I opened the program with these
words of thanks and praise: “Not long ago, our
nation lost one of its ‘Renaissance Women’, Maya
Angelou. Ms. Angelou was a renowned AfricanAmerican poetess, writer, actress, dancer and
political activist. Her words were an inspiration to
many.
One particular quote aptly describes you today,
dear students. Maya Angelou once said, “You may
not control all the events that happen to you, but
you can decide not to be reduced by them.” You
have endured hardships, set-backs, and for some,
violent situations; but the hope for a better future
and opportunities for your families have spurred
you on. We recognize and congratulate you – your
efforts and desire to speak English, to become
more involved in your communities and for many
to become United States citizens. You are a gift to
us! Your sacrifices, motivation, concern for family
and your abundant JOY are an example for us.
As Sisters of St. Joseph, we often use the word
“charism”. Wikipedia describes charism as a gift
that flows from God’s love to us to help us perform
our task in the Church. To our dedicated tutors
- you are charism to The Literacy Connection.
Without your generous gift of time, creativity, and

concern, our program would not be able to function.
Along with the “thank you” expressed by our
students, we add our heartfelt gratitude as well. And
to our benefactors and donors - your great-hearted
and generous support has carried The Literacy
Connection through all these years partnering with
us as we strive to break down barriers and build an
inclusive society. To all: You are ever a part of our
lives; all the good you have shared will live on in our
hearts.¹

Sister Pat Andrews is a former
teacher at Cathedral High
School, Boston. She is also
a former principal of Gate
of Heaven School, South
Boston. After serving on the
CSJ Leadership Team from
1994-2000, Sister Pat became
the director of The Literacy Connection. In 2005,
The Literacy Connection established a Citizenship
Preparation program that has helped over 115 people
become U.S. citizens. Sister Pat is a highly visible
contributor to many organizations in the Allston/
Brighton area. Sister Pat also celebrates her Golden
Jubilee this year.

Celebrates 40 years of Blessings
1974: IN THE BEGINNING
by Sister Joan M. McCarthy,
Director of St. Joseph Retreat Center
2014: AS IT IS NOW
During the past year we accommodated 4,762 guests
who came seeking God, quiet, peace, balm for the
soul, and balance in life. Seventy-four percent of
these guests are lay people.
We offer Mornings of Prayer, Directed and Private
Retreats, an At-Home Retreat for Busy People,
Individual Spiritual Direction, and a Contemplative
Sabbatical Program. Some calendar dates are kept

for weekend retreats and longer directed retreats during
school vacation weeks. These programs were wellresponded to by sisters and influenced the decision to
officially identify and open St. Joseph Villa as a Retreat
Center in October 1974. Since 1947, it had served as a
summer vacation house for the congregation.

constantly offered to meet the changing needs.
16 CONNECTING
IN APPRECIATION AND CELEBRATION
We ask guests, “What did you like best about your
time at St. Joseph Retreat Center?” Some responses:
• “How does one even answer such a question?
The prayerful space, natural beauty, outstanding
food, the silence, everything!”
• “The quality of direction I received.”
• “I cannot choose from the many gifts! What
brings my soul to peace and tears to my eyes
is the warmth and love that wraps around me
the minute I step into this place. This is coming
home!”
• “I deeply appreciate the Sisters of St. Joseph
making this sacred space so available for us.”
In this fortieth year, we give thanks for your
generosity in the past. We are deeply grateful for and
rely on your partnership in this precious ministry.
INTO THE FUTURE
Let God lure you here for renewal if it’s possible.
Visit us at www.csjretreatcenter.org. We dare to
dream of installing an elevator for easier access to all
floors. We face additional structural improvements.
Perhaps you can contribute to this dream and
incredible ministry through a donation, a private or
family foundation or a corporate grant. Your prayers
for our future and your volunteer help are priceless
and deeply appreciated as well. And, most of all, be
one with us in our gratitude and celebration of God’s
lavish blessings on all who have worked and prayed
here over the past forty years.

Casserly House by Sister Nancy Braceland
Director of Casserly House
D
uring many
celebrations
of 125
years in
Boston, the Sisters of
Saint Joseph pondered
different ways we could
“give back” to Boston
in gratitude for our
years spent together.
On January 6, 2000,
the sisters responded
to this discernment and
bought a three-decker on
Stellman Road in Roslindale, which would be called
Casserly House.
The idea of a neighborhood house was not a new
one - the original incarnation of this ministry was
begun in LePuy, France, 1650, by six Sisters of St.
Joseph. In 1873, four sisters opened our first Boston
convent at St. Thomas Parish in Jamaica Plain where
days later they started our first school. Casserly
House, named for Mother Regis Casserly, was opened
in Roslindale in 2000 in celebration of these first
beginnings.
The first days on Stellman Road were spent
readying our new home to be lived in while also
talking with neighbors about their needs. Adult
immigrants cried out for a place to learn English,
to gain work skills, and a place that would offer
immigration help. The youth came to our door
looking for school help, struggling to combat our
neighborhood’s high dropout rate. Our background as
educators led us to meet these needs with two primary
services: our morning English language program and
our after-school homework program.
In addition to these two successful programs,
we became involved with the reality of other
neighborhood challenges in other ways. We joined
with our neighbors to clean the area and partnered
with the police and the city to address the everyday
violence that marked our streets. Now, 14 years later,
our streets are quieter and safer thanks to these first
days of community-building. We continue to work
together to maintain this community.
20 CONNECTING
Then and now, Casserly House finds support in
the tireless work of volunteers from the greater
Boston area who donate their time and gifts to
further the mission of our center. Additionally, we
are grateful for continuous, generous contributions
from donors, foundations, and organizations across
the country. These offerings of time and resources
are vital to sustaining our work. †
Below: Sister Ann Kaufman speaks to students at the
Casserly House summer camp, Sister Helen Callahan tutors
a student, and tutor Donna Sullivan teaches English to adult
learners.
Above: Former Mayor Thomas Menino, a long time Casserly
House supporter and advocate visited regularly, and Sister
Nancy greets children as they arrive for a field trip.
I, Sister Nancy Braceland, have
been a part of this spirit-filled
journey since we began. Being
with the “dear neighbor” in
the daily struggles and joys
has incarnated our charism of
reconciliation, of oneness, which
continues to reap fruit each day, week,
and year. Our legacy is already seeing men and
women get jobs, begin to become serious students,
and become citizens. Our first young students are
now college students and graduates, grateful for the
opportunity to finish high school and begin living
bigger dreams. At Casserly House, it is a gift to live
and walk with our neighbors each day as we remain
rooted in Boston and open to the world, committed
to fostering community on Stellman Road and in the
larger global community.

The Women’s Table
Creating Ever-widening
Circles of Love and Compassion!
by CSJ Associate Mary Rita Weschler
Director of The Women’s Table
E
ver-widening circles of love and
compassion continue to lead The
Women’s Table toward new and unique
paths. These travels might include:
supporting young women living in shelters,
companioning a woman to District Court to obtain
a restraining order, to a Family Resource Center,
or mediation hearings, or traveling to a foreign
consulate. It might also include consulting with
immigration centers or community health clinics,
or visiting women who are home-bound, and more.
As The Women’s Table approaches its sixth
year, new programs continue to evolve and
develop. This fall, for example, The Women’s
Table hosted two six-week Restorative Justice
Circles for homeless adolescents and young
mothers living at Bridge over Troubled Waters.
Promoting communication skills, conflict
management strategies and self-esteem were
primary goals of this program. Funded by the CSJ
Unity and Non-Violence Grant, these programs
created a ‘safe space’ for these young women
living in two different shelters to share their
experiences. They are able to talk about healthy vs.
unhealthy relationships, to learn about personality
temperaments, and related effects in community
living, and more. This promotes a greater sense of
unity and community.
Another innovative program unfolding is a
A Gathering Circle for Mothers of Children with
Special Needs.
Writer’s Workshop for women who struggle with
written expression. This program underscores how
The Women’s Table helps women ‘find their voice.’
Sacred Circles, for women experiencing grief and
loss, have also met for six consecutive weeks this
fall. One participant expressed this feeling, “This is
one place where I can really express myself; I feel
safe in the company of other women.”
Individual advocacy and companioning women
moves The Women’s Table forward, toward evernew and expanding directions. Please consider
supporting these evolving programs and individual
advocacy by volunteering your time or talent, or
making a donation to The Women’s Table. On
behalf of numerous women served by our different
programs, we thank you! †
Embracing and living out the values of the Sisters of
St. Joseph, especially the centrality of relationship
and unioning love, is not unfamiliar to Mary Rita
Weschler, CSJA, the director of The Women's Table.
She has been a lay associate with the Sisters of St.
Joseph of Boston for 25+ years, and has degrees in
Deaf Education and Counseling Psychology. She's
held a variety of teaching positions and other roles
supporting children and families across the country.

Card Program
Choosing our cards is a generous way of celebrating the lives of relatives and friends.
Throughout the year, those you honor with a card are remembered in prayer by the
Sisters of St. Joseph and Associates.
We encourage our donors to request that their family and friends remember
the Congregation by sending donations “in lieu of flowers.” All donations are
acknowledged by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston Office of Mission Advancement.
If you wish to make a donation, know someone who would like to, or are in need of cards
for a relative or friend, please contact Cheryl Duggan, Mission Advancement Coordinator,
at 617-746-2114 or email cheryl.duggan@csjboston.org.
To make a donation online, visit www.csjboston.org and find the “make a gift” box.
The below represent sample cards - more designs are available at

PASS
US ALONG
When you finish with this issue of Connecting please PASS US ALONG. So many good people do not
receive our mailings, but are connected in some way to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston. It is our hope that
you will encourage others to read about the sisters and their ministries. When you PASS US ALONG, you will
be passing along good news.
If you have received Connecting from a friend, and would like to join our mailing list visit the news and
events page on our website at www.csjboston.org.
Retreat participants gather for welcoming remarks before the beginning of
a directed retreat at St. Joseph Retreat Center, Cohasset, MA.
