s The Our Jour ney L ady of Good Counsel Home VOLUME I - 2010 OUR LADY Of Good Counsel Home PAGE 1 PAGE 4 PAGE 7 Carrying on where the sisters left off Twenty months ago, the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne transferred ownership of Our Lady of Good Counsel Home to Franciscan Health Community. Since the transfer, Our Lady is thriving, pooling its resources, applying best practices and taking in more patients – all while continuing to provide totally free end-of-life care. “It was a big deal,” Director Kathryn Wornson said of the Sisters’ departure from Our Lady. The religious women had forged deep bonds with the entire staff. switch became official in February 2009. A transition team met for several months to ease the process. Imitating the nuns Our Lady’s staff has been making a concerted effort to honor the Sisters’ legacy, Tom said. “I try to emulate them – the compassion they showed each patient, their concern for the dying and the excellent care they gave. My feeling is that we have to carry the torch and keep their spirit alive.” Kathryn agreed. “Every time something unusual comes up, we say, ‘OK, what would the Sisters do?’” “They were like a second family to me,” said Tom Cassidy, who’s been a nurse at Our Lady for 22 years. That question has become a rallying cry and a guiding principle for Our Lady’s staff. Kim Perez was saddened but not surprised when the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne relinquished ownership of Our Lady of Good Counsel Home, the free St. Paul-based hospice they had been operating since 1941. It was about seven years ago when the Sisters began bringing in more lay staff to help with the work. “I knew that was huge for them to have come to the point where they needed more lay help,” Kim said. Kim and her colleagues watched as the Dominican Sisters closed other hospices they had been operating, hoping that their work would continue in St. Paul. Meanwhile, the Sisters found it increasingly challenging to perform their work, which once included all the cooking, cleaning and patient care. For Kim, staying calm in trying moments is what the Sisters would do. She thinks of Sr. Daniel, who hired her 19 years ago. “Even with the most difficult patients, I never heard her say a cross word,” Kim said. “If she would be frustrated, she would have little sayings like, ‘Oh, fluffy duff.’” (top) Our Lady of Good Counsel Home.

Ultimately, the Sisters decided to transfer ownership of Our Lady to another Catholic, St. Paulbased non-profit, the Franciscan Health Community, which provides services to seniors, including operating St. Mary’s Hospice and Franciscan Home Health. The 1 The Journey For Kathryn, making an exception and admitting a young patient represented what the Sisters would do. So did the lavish care staff poured on a patient who was a refugee and the dignity they have shown homeless patients. Guarding traditions In big and small ways, the staff is continuing the Sisters’ practices. Our Lady still provides end-of-life care free of charge to patients and their families – contrary to some misunderstandings that have cropped up. In a difficult economy, this is a noteworthy feat and a point of pride, Kathryn said. (cont. on page 2) (Carrying On cont. from page 1) Then there are the smaller steps, like the decision to continue the Sisters’ tradition of greeting new patients at the door, introducing themselves and escorting them to their rooms. Of course, some changes have been made. The lay staff has made a point to formalize practices and to network with Catholic affiliates like the Catholic Senior Services, which has proved fruitful. While the Sisters never directly asked for money, Our Lady’s new leaders have opted to integrate a development program, including the creation of a fundraising network called “Friends of Our Lady.” “We seek donations because we want to assure our future and preserve their mission,” Kathryn said. The staff also has requested particular items, creating a wish list that supporters have been quick to fill. When Kim had seven new volunteer positions, she was amazed to see them filled in just a week. “When something comes together so quickly and randomly,” she said, “I think, ‘The Sisters must be praying for us.’” (upper right) Meghan McTeague, an administrative assistant, is a friendly face for all who enter the new offices of St. Mary’s Hospice.

Blending of staffs yields many benefits at Our Lady A change that occurred last summer and has yielded positive results was moving the offices of St. Mary’s Hospice and Home Health staff to Our Lady of Good Counsel Home. The move has required both groups to be nimble. “At first there was a little bit of confusion,” said Tom Cassidy, who has been a nurse at Our Lady for 22 years. But both groups have been gracious, and their merge has allowed for a healthy collaboration, Tom said. “We talk things over. They might see something I missed. There’s more give and take. It has made us stronger as a group.” Cathy Kramer, a nurse at St. Mary’s Hospice, praised her new colleagues. “They’ve been really accommodating. I think there’s a real collaboration among all of us. We know we’re working for the same purpose and everyone is really invested.” Uniting St. Mary’s Hospice with Our Lady of Good Counsel allows for a continuum of care, pointed out Cathy, who cared for a St. Mary’s patient who later came to Our Lady. “It’s wonderful,” she said. “I get to go upstairs and see her whenever I want. The family was so thankful that she could come here. Things were getting really difficult at home.” The partnership has created helpful parallels for people like Kim Perez, the volunteer coordinator at Our Lady who now meets regularly with St. Mary’s volunteer coordinator to share ideas. “The nice thing about St. Mary’s is they have been just amazing in being open to questions that I have or to run an idea by somebody,” Kim said. “I like that feeling of having other people out there we can go to for support.” Twenty months after the transfer was made official, staff say their mindset has shifted. As Tom Cassidy noted: “It used to be ‘them’ at St. Mary’s and ‘us’ at Good Counsel and now it’s just ‘we.’” 22 Donor Profile Fundraiser supporting Our Lady for more than three decades Thirty-two years ago, Helen Weides knew very little about Our Lady of Good Counsel Home. As a member of the Antone Guild at Annunciation Parish in south Minneapolis, their sole purpose was to “raise funds for the cancer home,” Helen recalled. So she did a little research, including reading the book “Sorrow Built A Bridge,” the story of Rose Hawthorne, founder of the Servants for Relief of Incurable Cancer who started Our Lady of Good Counsel Home in 1941. “After reading the book, I realized that this was a very good cause to support,” Helen said. So she and Mary Theurer of the Annunciation Women’s Council, decided to have a benefit dinner for Our Lady. “We did most of the work, including preparing the meal, serving and clean-up.” Son Jim works for D’Amico & Sons so he handles the food preparation. They also receive volunteers from the Annunciation Youth Ministry. Over the years, the The money raised from the event dinner has ebbed helps in creating a peaceful and and flowed, with restful environment for patients attendance ranging and their families. from well over 200 to as few as 134. For a few years they even added a silent auction. “We’ve raised anywhere from $2,000 to almost $10,000 a year,” Helen said. After 20 years, Mary told Helen that “she just couldn’t continue any longer because of health concerns,” Helen explained. “So we announced that that would be our last dinner.” However, Helen’s son Jim and daughter Patty, who had started helping with the dinner, had other plans. “This dinner is a labor of love. The fact that the money we raise goes to Our Lady of Good Counsel Home is very rewarding. It’s my favorite charity. The whole staff there is so friendly,” Helen added. “They came up to me after the dinner and said that they wanted to continue doing the event. So they took over and it has really become a family affair, with most of my children and grandchildren helping,” Helen added proudly. This year’s dinner was held October 10 and still only costs $16. “My children keep telling me I should charge more, but I want to make sure that anyone who wants to come can afford it.” Development Update Mike Randall, Director of Development The opening feature in this newsletter examines the way Our Lady’s staff is carrying on the traditions begun by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. One of those traditions was to not actively seek donations. Unfortunately, that is one tradition we cannot afford to keep. Each year thousands of people make donations to Our Lady in memory of someone they knew who died of cancer, here or elsewhere. Others have heard about the wonderful mission of Our Lady – providing free care to patients dying from cancer – and want to support that effort. A few very generous and thoughtful people have left Our Lady of Good Counsel in their estate plans. These are the gifts that truly make operating this home possible. Moving forward, we need to be more proactive in our efforts to raise money. This fall many of you will be receiving a letter asking you to consider donating to 3 The Journey the home. A Remembrance Fundraising Event is planned for December, when we will honor loved ones who passed away at Our Lady. In the spring of 2011, we will hold our first annual benefit luncheon. My hope is that when you receive our mailings or an invitation to an event that you will give thoughtful consideration to supporting the work we do. Our entire operating budget is funded through gifts from a generous donor community. That generosity allows us to continue providing free end-of-life care to our patients and their families. And that is a tradition truly worth keeping. The Giving Tree City grant to refresh Our Lady’s grounds For nearly seven decades, Our Lady of Good Counsel was home to the Dominican Sisters. The backyard was their private sanctuary – a beautiful, peaceful space where they could find solitude. We would now like to open that space to our patients and their families, so that they too can enjoy its beauty. However, the area is in need of some work. We have put together a landscaping plan that includes adding and repairing sidewalks to make the area handicap accessible. A picnic shelter for family gatherings will be added, along with park benches, new plantings, and water features. The city of St. Paul recently awarded a STAR grant of $27,164 to help Our Lady redesign the grounds. As part of the grant, Our Lady has to raise the same amount to complete the project. Anyone interested in donating toward the project should contact Mike Randall at 651-789-5029. The money will help transform our grounds into a beautiful setting that our patients and their families can enjoy together. A Sweet Last Supper No special request goes unmet at St. Mary’s Hospice – especially one involving a hungry belly. Last July Kelly Pietrzak, the medical social worker for St. Mary’s Hospice, was listening to a patient named John reminisce about his childhood. The story he shared most fondly pertained to a dish called sweetbread that he ate with his grandparents. Kelly assumed John was referring to some kind of breaded roll, but he looked it up in the dictionary for her: “the thymus or pancreas of a young animal (as a calf) used for food.” The 91-year-old terminally-ill man said he hadn’t eaten sweetbread since he was a boy – and that he would just love to have it “one more time.” “That’s all I had to hear,” Kelly said. That Friday afternoon she began hatching a plan, and the entire office immediately joined in on the mission to determine who could make John sweetbread. They began calling local restaurants. No one said they could or would make sweetbread until Kelly got a hold of Wyatt Evans, the head chef at the popular Selby Avenue eatery W.A. Frost. Wyatt knew how to prepare the dish and responded with excitement, saying he would need a little time to get the ingredients: He could have it prepared tomorrow by noon. Kelly said Monday would suffice. On Monday chef Zac Leeman made sweetbread using the high-end protein of veal thymus and risotto. He also made the Italian dessert tiramisu, adding caramelized bananas. W.A. Frost provided the meal at cost. “It felt good, like I was I was getting more out of it,” Zac said. “I was happy to give somebody their wish. I know this person didn’t have much time left.” dd When the meal was presented to John, he laughed in sheer delight. Two weeks later he passed away. Your home became our home and made it possible for the two of us to share love and joy in our final days together.That sense of loving embrace from Our Lady allowed us to share love when we both needed it most. It would not have been possible without you. Everyday my husband was at Our Lady, he expressed gratitude for your loving care.We were very lucky. Our Lady of Good Counsel is how we all deserve to live and die. May God bless you forever. – Naomi B. 4 Learning from Leslie Staff takes great lengths to accomodate deaf, blind patient When he heard a deaf and blind person would be arriving at Our Lady of Good Counsel, nurse Frezgi Hiskias was skeptical about how communication would go. But it didn’t take long for Frezgi to realize there was nothing to fear, for Leslie Peterson of Minneapolis was a “genius.” That genius was evident in how he set up his room at Our Lady. In the four and a half months he spent there, Leslie set up his room like no other resident, social worker Anne Marie Bartlett said. There were speed bumps on the floor, extra shelving units, a brail computer and Styrofoam noodles around his walker so Leslie would know when he was getting too close to a wall. “He pretty much knew what Leslie Peterson he was doing and we took our lead from him,” Anne Marie said. “He put all of the electrical things in place so that he could plug his ammunition in correctly. He did it all himself. He was a very, very independent guy. He had lived like that for a long time and so he really knew what he needed to make his days work.” Leslie, 67, died June 28 of lung cancer, though he never smoked. According to a July 2 article in the Star Tribune, his blindness and deafness were due to a rare genetic disorder called Usher syndrome. Leslie, who was a past president of the Minnesota DeafBlind Association, was born deaf and by age 14 he began losing his sight. While the staff marveled over Leslie’s resourcefulness, his family marveled over the staff’s extra effort to put him at ease. They made sure an interpreter was present for doctors’ rounds each week in order to better communicate how he was doing and to answer his questions. Staff also learned to communicate with Leslie by spelling out words in his hands. Some staff members even had Leslie teach them sign language. “They were always eager to figure out ways to communicate,” recalled Leslie’s daughter, Mitzi Uribe. “They knew him and all of his ways as to how he did things because he did things very uniquely. Frezgi would do everything that he possibly could to get his message across to my dad and vice versa. 5 The Journey “Dad always felt very well cared for,” Mitzi continued. “He felt that they tried as best they could to communicate with him. He had a unique relationship with each person who cared for him and he had a way of identifying each person who worked with him and they had their own way of identifying to him as to who they were, whether it was the nuns or the nursing staff or social worker. We couldn’t have asked for anything better.” In addition to the attentive staff, Leslie was impressed by the food (see page 6). “As a family we would get together and a lot of the time would have cake and ice cream and on different occasions would bring in pizza or Chinese and he’d always want to eat the food there instead,” Mitzi said. Looking back, Mitzi said she feels indebted to the staff. “They genuinely cared and did a wonderful job. They were so good to him and so good to us – even the volunteers.” An amazing staff The staff, meanwhile, downplay the measures they took. “The routine was not very hard to learn because he was such a genius,” Frezgi said. “He did things that amazed us.” One of those things was his use of technology. Leslie would e-mail back and forth with the staff and would surf the internet. He could also guess a word or sentence before Frezgi finished writing it in his palm. The nurse would then tap Leslie on the shoulder to let him know he was correct. To assist with Leslie’s routine, Frezgi said the staff would anticipate his needs and get things ready when he returned from the dining hall or other activities. If Leslie had visitors who knew sign language, Frezgi would also use them to help communicate with him. Ultimately, Anne Marie said, Leslie made it easy on the staff. “Les had such a wonderful personality that he taught us what he needed.” Both Anne Marie and Frezgi said Leslie’s personality and humor have left a mark on them. “Once I saw him in action, doing things for himself, then I understood that a human being has so many talents, so many gifts, but we do not use them,” Frezgi said. “It was an amazing experience for me. I will never forget him.” Behind the Scenes Home-cooked meals bring comfort Food is one thing that can bring comfort. That’s why Our Lady of Good Counsel’s kitchen crew takes pride in preparing home-cooked meals for its patients. “I like planning menus,” explained Bonnie Swanson, dietary manager. “We provide home-cooked meals and have the freedom to be creative.” Bonnie, who has been at Our Lady for 11 years, heads a regular staff of seven. Besides cooking for the residents, the staff has also prepared food for special functions, such as the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, Antone Guild Appreciation Luncheon, lunch for the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women and others. What makes the talented staff unique, she said, is their dedication. “Most members of my staff have been here for a long time and they enjoy working here,” Bonnie said. One of those staff started out as a dishwasher and is now a cook. Weekly chats with patients regarding their menu and getting to know them personally are what Bonnie enjoys most about her job. Meatloaf, spaghetti, roast beef and desserts such as strawberry angel food dessert are patients’ favorites. The staff is always open to suggestions, too. One of Our Lady’s residents looked through her recipes to find dishes the kitchen could add to their rotating menu, Bonnie said. “We try to be flexible in planning our menus.” The kitchen staff also relies on volunteers to make the kitchen successful. Volunteers come for breakfast, lunch and supper and replace water pitchers, deliver and collect meal trays, do the dishes and clean the Bonnie Swanson kitchen. “Most of them volunteer maybe once a week and so they get to know people and they do a wonderful job,” Bonnie said. “They’re a great group.” Shari Mahnke is one of those volunteers. A volunteer for almost four years, Shari said she keeps coming back to Our Lady because she appreciates the wisdom of the residents and loves working with elderly people. “They’re an inspiration that we all need to emulate,” she said. “There’s no whining around here.” Germaine Mouyard has also volunteered at Our Lady for almost four years. Working with terminal patients, she didn’t know if she would be able to handle it, she said. It becomes very difficult when residents she’s formed friendships with pass away. Still, Germaine said it’s worth it. “Our goal is just to give our patients food they like and are able to tolerate when they’re not feeling well,” Bonnie explained. “Sometimes something will sound really good and if they don’t see it on the menu, they always know they can ask for it.” The kitchen and staff are equipped to accommodate most requests. “It’s just something you want to do,” she said, fighting back the tears. “It’s my little part.” Working in the kitchen has been an amazing experience, Bonnie said, adding that others would agree. “It’s such a privilege to work here.” Two coolers of cookies from one Council of Catholic Women The Council of Catholic Women from St. Anne’s in Le Sueur elicited a great response to their request for cookies, personal care items and paper products for Our Lady of Good Counsel Home. The donation included two coolers of cookies (approximately 28 dozen), a cart full of paper and personal care products, and $50.

Some may consider TJ VerHage an expert in classic literature. From “The Count of Monte Cristo” to “Swiss Family Robinson” to “Treasure Island,” VerHage knows the characters, the plot lines and the writing styles. But most importantly, VerHage knows his audience: hospice patients whom VerHage considers his friends. Most of all, VerHage’s volunteer work at St. Mary’s has solidified his passion for his vocation, for people and for service. “It has opened my eyes to how much you can make a difference.” T J VerHage VerHage, 20, has spent the last three summers as a volunteer reading from the pages of these classics to St. Mary’s Hospice patients. As a pre-medicine student at Wheaton College in Illinois, VerHage hoped to gain volunteering experience before heading off to school and discovered that St. Mary’s was not only close to his home, but also his heart. Each year he has volunteered more time there, visiting and reading with one to three hospice patients a summer. When he’s not reading to a patient, he can be found at St. Mary’s Nursing Home chatting in the lobby or spending time with the patients in one of the common areas. ”I hope that I bring life into this place,” VerHage said. VerHage has developed strong relationships with his patients. There was Helen, who told VerHage she just liked to hear his voice. There was Fred, to whom VerHage read “Daniel Boone” once he learned of Fred’s love for history and English. And there was Dorothy, who shared some of her final moments with VerHage. “It made me realize that the most important things in life are relationships,” VerHage said. “It’s all about our relationships with our family and with God.” VerHage began his undergraduate education with plans of becoming a surgeon. After his experience in the hospice, he now hopes to work in a more patientfocused role. “I get a sense of fulfillment by serving the patients,” he said. “I minister beyond the physical and instead help them personally, emotionally and spiritually.” VerHage refers to his time spent at St. Mary’s as a “huge character building experience.” He acknowledges that some of his peers may be nervous about spending time 7 The Journey A mother and her daughters honor a lasting tie to Our Lady When her husband, Don, was at St. John’s Hospital and diagnosed with terminal cancer, Jane Dagen, Lillian Holly, and Lillian Holly and her daughters Molly Molly O’Dea O’Dea and Jane Dagen were told they should find a nursing home for him. Not happy with their prior experiences with several nursing homes, Lillian’s friend suggested taking him to “the cancer home.” “We called expecting to be told they didn’t have room, but much to our surprise they did have an opening,” Lillian recalled. When they arrived at Our Lady of Good Counsel Home, they were amazed. “Jane and I had worked in nursing homes before,” Molly said, “and we couldn’t believe how peaceful and quiet it was here.” “Like heaven,” Jane added. “An absolutely unbelievable experience,” said Lillian. “The kindness and dignity portrayed by the male nurses who cared for my husband will never be forgotten. They were so kind and warm.” “It’s so much better than I expected,” added Molly. “It’s a comforting, calming, secure environment. The staff becomes like family. They make every effort to improve the quality of life for patients and families.” Thus, a bond was formed between provider and family that continues to this day. After Don passed away, all three women – wife and daughters – decided to become volunteers at Our Lady. Molly answers the phones Monday afternoon. Lillian answers the phone on Thursday afternoon and then joins Jane to serve dinner that evening. (cont. on page 8) The Freedom Of Self Knowledge, The Ache of Our Goodbyes By Susan Adam, Director of Pastoral Care Services We all have those turns in the road. It is what we do or don’t do with them that makes the difference. All too often we can let a life transition lodge in our soul, discomfort us, empty us, discourage us and sometimes strangle us with its firm, clenching hold. Too often we can ignore a goodbye or fight it or push it away, but we do not get rid of the ache in this way. It keeps raising its voice inside us, at times when we least expect it. Then it drowns out the voice of joy in our lives and depletes energy and enthusiasm and can hinder us from entering into another important relationship. We need to acknowledge the ache of our goodbyes and approach them in a way that leads to personal peace. A dear friend of mine died suddenly a few years ago. In Milqueya’s case, the end came sooner than we expected. The good news is that Milqueya was ready and wonderfully prepared to meet the Lord – even on such short notice. It wasn’t because she didn’t love life or deeply love the people in her life. Everyone who knew her knew how passionately engaged she was with life and all the issues that made life rich and fulfilling. In the end, with God’s grace, Milqueya proved to be remarkably free. She knew where she came from and where she was going. She knew the purpose of her life – in living it and in laying it down at the end. This faithful freedom to be who we are called to be is tested by all the attractions of the world, which pull us in dizzying directions. Often it is greed, sometimes it is fear – worries and what-ifs – that steal our ability to be courageous and steadfast. In all of these defining moments, He is there and simply asks us to be ready to meet Him when He comes to us today. Lord, open our hearts today and every day to encounter you in the many people you place in our lives, in the many choices which can bring us closer to you. Free us to love more freely, to say “yes” more completely, to think of the needs of others first and to know what is the right choice. Liberate us from the deadly grip of anger or judgment and the debilitating trap of fear. Let us embrace life each day as you prepare us for eternal life with you. And on that day you come to bring us home, grant us the grace of loving family and friends to support us as we surrender to your love completely in our final Amen. He is asking us to live our lives with freedom, the freedom that comes from knowing who we are. That freely lived identity is formed and tested in our everyday lives. It is formed by the relationships in our lives and by the choices we make, which shape us into the people we become. Editor’s note: Watch for a notice announcing an evening of “Praying Our Goodbyes” that will welcome everyone – young and old, all faiths. It will be presented by Susan Adam, director of pastoral care. (Volunteer Profile cont. from page 7) for me. I love this place!” “I wanted to continue to be involved at the home,” Molly said. “I look forward to visiting with the patients and their families while I’m answering the phones. I can relate to their emotional ups and downs during this difficult time. I love Monday and will do just about anything to keep my volunteering commitment.” Obviously these three dedicated volunteers had a unique experience at Our Lady as family members of a patient. “I never saw a worker have a bad day, never saw an attitude or an irritation,” Jane said. “The camaraderie among the staff was amazing.” Jane’s reason for volunteering at Our Lady is very personal. “I loved coming here to see my dad and I didn’t want to give up that memory,” she said. “Coming to the home, listening, crying and laughing with the patients makes me happy. Thursday is the best day of the week “People often ask us how we can volunteer in a place where people are dying, but for us the days that we are here are the best days of our week,” Molly said. Asked how long they would continue to volunteer at Our Lady, the answer was unanimous: “Forever!” 8 Generous Donors We welcome your gifts, which support our mission of providing free end-of-life care Our Lady of Good Counsel Home is pleased to acknowledge the gifts and memorials from a caring community of individuals, churches, and groups.
