Ursulines Elect New Leadership Team
The Ursuline Sisters gathered in late March to elect
the new leadership team for the next four years. Sister
Sandra Sherman was elected General Superior/President.
Assisting on the General Council will be Sister Margaret
Manion, Sister Claudia Holtz and Sister Nelda Chafitelli.
Sister Sandy is currently an adjunct instructor in
theology at Lourdes University and also offers Spiritual
Direction and Retreat Ministry. She is the Social Justice
contact person for the Ursuline Sisters and is a member
of STOP (Stop Trafficking of Persons). Sister Sandy said
that “My deepest desire is that together we will live as
best we are able as our Directional Statement proclaims:
‘Living in holy relationship, a contemplative presence in
an ever changing world.’ By this I hope we can walk in
time to the call of Pope Francis in the joy of the Gospel.”
Sister Margaret has been serving as First Councilor,
transportation and events coordinator and part-time staff
member at St. Ursula Academy. Sister Claudia, Second
Councilor, is Pastoral Care Director of Ursuline Center
Sister Sandra Sherman
General Superior/President
and liaison to the Associate members. Sister Nelda, a
Jungian psychotherapist, works part time at the Ursuline
Counseling and Psychological Services in Washington,
DC.
The Chapter of Elections was held one month after
the Chapter of Affairs which focused on setting goals and
planning for the next four years. The theme of the meetings
was “Go forth in hope with deep prayer and courage.”
A revised Directional Statement was approved by the
Chapter. At the same time the Chapter reaffirmed their
Mission Statement and their Vision Statement.
The Mission Statement affirms: “The Ursuline Sisters
of Toledo, consecrated women of the Church, graced by
the charism of St. Angela Merici, promote the mission of
Jesus by being available for any work of charity.” The
Vision Statement further explains “In light of our mission,
Toledo Ursulines are called to prayer, compassion, service
and collaboration and impelled to promote the works of the
Church especially empowering women.”

Greetings,
How many times do we find
ourselves playing a tune over and
over in our head or can’t shake the
memory of a great experience that
causes one to constantly grin? I
find myself reflecting, or should
I say day dreaming, about my
childhood days on the farm. My
favorite times go back to planting
potatoes by following the tractor and plow navigated
by my parents, watching the bails of hay travel up to the
barn loft during combining time, watching flowers bloom,
catching butterflies and of course, making mud pies with
stolen eggs from the chicken coup. My four dear brothers
were always a part of the adventures in the barn which
included their jumping out of dark areas to scare me and
at times cheering one another on during a rodeo of riding
cows and pigs when my parents weren’t looking. (At that
time, my sister was just a twinkle in God’s eye.)
Through the years as the seeds of a strong faith were
planted and cultivated, I was surrounded by various
testimonials of God’s love … family, fields and changing
seasons. My belief is that those early years formed a
foundation for my trust in the Lord especially when
challenges had to be faced at various times. As time
marched on, I often wondered about what was ahead,
which path should I travel, or will I get through numerous
growing experiences? Chapter eleven verse one of St.
Paul’s letter to the Hebrews would pull everything into
perspective: “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.” The protective hand of
God surrounded and guided me constantly.
As an Ursuline Sister, each day is a spiritual journey.
Every single day holds an opportunity for newness and/or
renewal. How I try to live the Gospels is hopefully evidence
of my gratitude for all God’s gifts. Some days I might be
called to lift someone’s burden, just be present to another
or perhaps simply give someone a smile. St. Angela tells
us to “Do something, get moving, be confident, risk new
things, stick with it, get on your knees, then be ready for
big surprises.” When the sun rises tomorrow morning, it
will be another chance to open the windows of my soul
and be ready for what God asks of me.
May your lives be just as blessed as mine. May you
always be open to listening to the Spirit. May you realize
how much you are appreciated by all the Ursuline Sisters.
You continue to be remembered in our daily prayers. Thank
you for being instruments of God’s love in our lives.

I will bless the Lord at all times; praise shall
be always in my mouth.
My soul will glory in the Lord that the poor
may hear and be glad.
Magnify the Lord with me; let us exalt his

Sisters Make a Difference
in New Orleans
By Sr. Mary Kay Garvin, OSU
In November 2013, over 85 women religious
and friends volunteered to join the St. Bernard Parish
Project, a non-profit organization, established in 2006
to rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. New
Orleans is the only county in the history of the United
States to be rendered 100% uninhabited following
Katrina. As of March 2013 the project had rebuilt 479
homes. One week a year the project focuses on women
religious volunteers.
Prior to leaving for New Orleans, I contacted
Ursulines from the Roman Union Central Province
and Eastern Province with whom I would be working
and living. We were urged to bring warm clothing since the job sites did not have
electricity or running water. I laughed when I read that we should be prepared to get
dirty and to bring old clothes not quite ready for the rag bag. With that in mind I
packed old clothing with the plan to discard them before leaving New Orleans.
We scheduled our arrivals at the airport in close proximity to each other. Much
to my surprise our planes arrived at the same time. We hailed a cab to one of the
homes where we would be staying. Although none of the resident Sisters was there
because they were involved in Chapter meetings, we received a warm welcome.
The bedrooms listed our names and we found many nice little surprises. The Sisters
would not be returning until the following Monday so they left a car for our use.
On Monday morning the women religious and friends gathered at St. Bernard
Project headquarters for orientation and to receive our assignments. I was scheduled
to work with the Sisters from New York and a gentleman from Massachusetts.
Our job supervisors greeted us when we arrived and explained what projects
we would be working on during the week. The first task was to lay laminate flooring
in the bedrooms and the second was to lay tile in the kitchen and laundry room. We
divided into two groups and I chose to lay flooring in the bedrooms. Before we could
begin, we were instructed how to use the saws. For days we crawled on our hands
and knees fitting boards together so they would be a perfect length.
Many days lunch was provided by the Knights of Columbus. On other days
we were encouraged to support the local establishments. Since none of us knew
restaurants, we found a local gas station that served hot dogs and beverages. Since
there were no tables or chairs, we took our food and sat on the curb and enjoyed
lunch and many good laughs as we enjoyed each other’s company.
Thursday was the highlight of the week. We joined St. Bernard Parish Project in
welcoming a family home after eight years. Their new home is called a “shot gun”
home because as the story goes you can shoot a bullet through the front door and it
will exit through the back door.
At the end of the week I came away feeling blessed and enriched from working
each day with the Ursulines from the Eastern and Central provinces. During the
course of the week as we shared prayer and meals, I was inspired by the young men
and women who volunteer for a year of service to help others.

The Tapestry of Life
By Jennifer Schaefer-Gatewood
Director of Advancement, St. Ursula Academy
On a beautiful fall day, I hopped in my car at 6:00
a.m. and drove seven hours to a tiny village in northern
Illinois to meet a woman I will never forget, Helen
Rosenberger ‘41. I was greeted at the door with a bright
smile and a plate of homemade cookies, which were
absolutely delicious. Helen is a St. Ursula Graduate
from the class of 1941. I found Helen to be a remarkable
woman, with a heartwarming and inspiring story. Even
though she may not think of herself as a role model, I
think you will agree with me that she is indeed a role
model for women in the field of science and those who
wish to live a life rooted in Ursuline Core Values.
Helen was an only child and she grew up in the northend of Toledo. Her educational journey started a year
earlier than her peers. Her father was persistent, persuasive
and adamant that she start school early. The nuns agreed.
When Helen’s parents divorced in 1934 she spent much of
her time with her grandparents and the Ursuline Sisters of
Toledo. She spoke of the sisters in her life with gratitude
and reverence. She was grateful to the many Ursuline
Sisters who guided, loved and cared for her during her early
years of life. She never forgot the influence the Ursuline
Sisters had on her life; academically, physically, mentally,
emotionally and spiritually. The nuns were always there
to point her in the right direction and encouraged her to
realize her full-potential.
During her time at SUA she excelled in academics. She
was published in several issues of the Scroll. She vividly
remembers the beauty of all the magnolia trees that were
planted across campus. Each tree symbolized the legacy of
each graduating class at St. Ursula Academy.
All of her primary, secondary, and undergraduate
educational experiences were rooted in Ursuline traditions
Page 4
and values. Later in life, Helen went on to pursue a master’s
degree at Northwestern University. Helen felt blessed to
have an Ursuline education, from grade school through
college. She attended St. Angela Hall, St. Ursula Academy,
and Mary Manse College, all located on Collingwood
Boulevard Campus. Even her summers were blessed with
Ursuline traditions. Helen was a camper and eventually a
camp counselor at Camp Ladyglen.
Camp Ladyglen was a summer camp that was organized
by Ursuline Nuns to provide a happy, wholesome summer
for young girls across the country. Girls could partake in
horseback riding, archery, basketball, water sports, crafts,
drama, and religious services. Camp Ladyglen was very
special to her. It was a place where she spent her summers,
and was able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
Becoming a physical education teacher was originally
the career Helen envisioned for herself, but that changed
when a guest speaker who was a chemist came to her
chemistry class to discuss her career. At that moment she
knew chemistry was the profession for her. Helen’s words
of wisdom to current students who are filled with dreams
and ambitions and are considering their career path are
clear and direct: “Choose a field you love. You have to
enjoy your work, if you do not, forget it.”
Helen was ahead of her time. In 1945, when she
graduated from Mary Manse College, she started her
career as a chemist at a company in Dayton, Ohio. She
recalled going to a chemistry conference early in her career
where she was only one of two women in attendance. In
the 1940’s, women were not widely accepted in the field of
science, much less encouraged to specialize in chemistry.
The gender disparity in her chosen field did not hold her
back, nor did it discourage her from following her dreams.
One of SUA’s earliest scientists, Helen Rosenberger ‘41 truly
inspires our young graduates of today.

Sister Mary Jane Cosentino, also known as Sister Rose Angela, 95, died on
December 31, 2013 at the Ursuline Center. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio in
1918 to Joseph and Rose Cosentino. She entered the Ursuline Convent after having
graduated from Bowling Green State University in 1946.
Prior to her entrance she taught in the public schools of Milan and Sandusky,
Ohio. She joined her sister, Sister M. Antoinette, who had entered 10 years earlier.
Sister Mary Jane excelled in science and was awarded many honors locally,
state-wide and nationally, as an outstanding Science teacher. She was always
available to her students when they needed encouragement and was particularly
helpful to them as they prepared exhibits for Science Fairs. Many of her students
received First Place Awards and went on to major in college in the science field.
Sister Mary Jane also helped keep the Stamp Collection up to date and was
meticulous in preparing stamps for sale to stamp collectors. She was interested in
current affairs and kept herself abreast of world and local news. She was communityminded and willing to help others as long as her health would permit. She died on
December 31 after having suffered several “spells” with a heart condition.
Sr. Mary Jane receives NCEA
(National Catholic Education
Association) award from Rev. Vincent
