NEWSLETTER OF THE SISTERS OF CHARITY OF CINCINNATI
From Our Sisters in Elected Leadership
“Well, how was it?” was the question asked when we
returned. S. Irene Mraz and I had the opportunity to join
seven Cleveland OSUs and a MM Sister to visit El Salvador
for the 50th anniversary of the Cleveland diocese serving in
response to St. Pope John XXIII’s request for missionaries for
Latin America. How to capture our response in a word? Overall it was
sacred time. We saw firsthand the progress made in the
villages in which we served—a modern town square in place
of a dirt soccer field, a colonial façade on the Church of
Chirilagua, the town of Zaragoza raised to the rank of a city,
an air-conditioned Blessed Sacrament Chapel, very few dirt or
cobblestone roads. We even stayed in a new air-conditioned
hotel (with a wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean) in La
Libertad where Clevelanders still minister.
There were still open air markets, women carrying loads on
their heads, students in their identifying uniforms heading
to and from school, small family restaurants and beautiful
flowering trees and bushes. We were taken to two other
villages of Clevelanders’ service, Chuiltiupan and Teotepeque,
to help us see that all is not modernized and outsiders can still
be helpful. The visits to the gravesite of the four murdered
women, the University museum and garden of the death of
the six Jesuits and their two housekeepers, and the hospital in
which Archbishop Romero was shot were poignant reminders
of the sorrows we lived with the people. All these experiences
and a celebration at an amphitheater in La Libertad that a
torrential rain ended as a celebration of the Word (we all ran
for cover before the Offertory of the scheduled Mass), helped
us see a current moment of time with the eyes of our past
memories. It was a sacred, faith-filled weaving together of past
recollections and a joyful uniting of hearts in the present with
our eyes on a better future.
We all have shorter or longer histories of service and
life. What is important is that we touch on others’ stories and
appreciate each other. We do this especially when we come
together and form our common story as we do at professions,
funerals, Jubilees, Congregational Days and Chapters.
May our sharing in these events be sacred times of joyful
remembrance, appreciation of the gifts of community and
unfolding of the future.

Let Us Remember
S. Mary Patricia Wagner died July 20, 2014, at the age of 91
at Mother Margaret Hall. S. Mary Pat attended St. John Grade
School and graduated from St. John High School, both in
Lima, and was taught by the Sisters of Charity. She attributed
the love, faith and prayer in her home as what influenced her
to become a religious. S. Mary Pat was a Sister of Charity of
Cincinnati for 71 years.
S. Mary Pat taught in schools in Ohio, Michigan, New
Mexico and Colorado. She began her teaching in 1944 at
St. Mary School, Albuquerque, New Mexico; although she
never wanted to teach, she did so for 15 years in elementary
grades, six in high school and three as a high school
administrator. Sister ministered as a librarian at the College of Mount
St. Joseph; while there she took courses in gerontology,
concentrating on pastoral ministry. Upon earning a certificate
she chose to put that knowledge to use and resigned from her
position at the CMSJ after 18 years. She didn’t have to wait
long for the Holy Spirit to lead her; she was offered a position
as a pastoral minister at Mother Margaret Hall. S. Mary Pat
loved these 11 years with her older Sisters, sharing their Christ
moments and coming to appreciate what tremendous persons
they were. Once again the Spirit, along with her prayer and
discernment, led Sister to move, this time to Sharonville, Ohio,
to St. Joseph Home where she volunteered in the Day Program;
she worked with children who were too young and too fragile
to go to school.

Vocation/
Formation
On June 22, 2014, four people made commitments
as Associates in Mission in Cincinnati. They had been in
formation for many months with their companions. Below
are parts of their discernment statements.
Jo Ann Ballinger, companion S. Paula Mary Russell
“As I am learning more about the history and mission of the
Order, I realize that I would like to be more deeply associated
with it as I travel my life’s journey to the loving God we each
serve individually and as a group. I like the idea of taking
part in social justice issues as a group in a more active way
than perhaps I would individually. I hope belonging to the
Associates will give me an opportunity to grow in trust, to
deepen my relationship with our loving God.”
had to trust the Lord with our financial situation. During the
traumatic time of my divorce I found support and wisdom
from the Sisters when my parish turned their back on me.
During my formation, I experienced a feeling of peace and
excitement. I hope to strengthen my spiritual growth and
assist the Community with their wonderful work.”
Mary Jo Mersmann, director of Associates
Peace, Justice
& Care for
Creation
On July 30, 2014, the United Nations will mark the first
ever World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.
Kinny McQuade, companion S. Paula Mary Russell
“The founders of the Sisters of Charity have inspired me on
my journey with their will and determination to accomplish
their goals in life. As I read their stories and their lives they
have pushed me toward a place where I want to stand by
them and help them with their mission. My current ministry
at the Ronald McDonald House is a perfect spot to tell the
story of the Sisters of Charity to all the families I meet. They
ask me how to pray for their kids and I think of the mission
of the Sisters and the fact that we work hard for the poor and
many of these families are poor. I bring to this relationship a
strong faith and one that will go on for many years to assist
the Community on its journey.”
The World Day was established to raise awareness of the
global issue of human trafficking among the general public,
policymakers and civil society. It will provide an opportunity
for the world to act to end this crime and to show solidarity
with its victims.
Kay Jackson, companion Associate Mary Ellen Williams
“It has taken me a lifetime to find my home – my spiritual
home. … All this living faith, all this love, and yet so
much more, draws me to this Community. Our world is
hurting and I wish to be part of the servant leaders within
this Community. I am not afraid to have dirty hands and
tired feet. We are needed to help heal our Church, our
communities, Mother Earth and the Universe. A tough job?
Too much to ask? Not for us! Not for women who learn
from the past, instill simplicity into all present and future
interactions, and use resources in an intelligent and educated
manner. All to do what is best. To do what helps. To spread
Christ by their actions.”
• Be alert: If you see anything that you think might be
related to trafficking, tell the police or call the national
anti-trafficking helpline at 888-373-7888. Remember,
victims can be coerced in many ways. If you are unsure, it
is better to be mistaken than to let another victim continue
to be enslaved.
Joan Wiebell, companion Associate Rita Wesseling
“I knew of Elizabeth Seton but it wasn’t until recently that I
realized just what an amazing woman she was and how much
she accomplished in her short life. I have discovered that I
have much in common with Elizabeth. We both have a deep
devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and we both rely on the
Scriptures for our comfort in times of trouble. We were both
left with children to take care of without a father, and often
Human trafficking involves the act of recruiting,
transporting, transferring, harboring or receiving a person
through the use of force, deception or other means for the
purpose of exploiting them.
Everyone can help tackle this crime by being aware of it
and making sure that the plight of our sisters and brothers
does not go unnoticed. There are many ways we can help:
• Be aware: Join the Blue Heart Campaign against Human
Trafficking by visiting www.unodc.org/blueheart. This
international initiative works to raise awareness of the
plight of victims and build political support to fight the
criminals behind trafficking.
• Be responsible: Make sure that your consumer choices and
actions are ethical ones. While some decisions might be
clearer than others, you can pledge not to purchase goods
and services that could be linked directly or indirectly
to sexual exploitation, forced labor or other forms of
exploitative practices.

Sisters of St. Martha Share Insights
The SIsters of Saint Martha,
Antigonish, held their General
Chapter in April 2014. The
Social Justice Committee
gave a reflective
presentation and they felt
other groups could benefit
from their insights.
“We have journeyed along
the path of social justice, beginning with our desire and
commitment to be in right
relationship at all levels of
being, this compels us to
reach out and find like minded people with whom we
share common goals building
a network that connects us
and from which we discover
ways to work together, fostering alliances and collaborating to strengthen our ef-
fectiveness.
The energy that results compels us to act, to join our voices together and to create
space for the voices of others
to be heard, to engage in
advocacy that speaks truth to
power and demands, in a
non-violent stance , that we
cultivate right relationships.”
