“Living in holy relationship, a contemplative presence in an ever changing world.”

Welcome Sr. Mary Jo SzpilaPastoral Care Coordinator

I’m happy to tell you a bit about myself. My parents had nine children and I am the oldest of three girls and six boys. I am part Polish and part German. I grew up in West Toledo in the Bancroft Hills neighborhood and attended Gesu School (’63) and Notre Dame Academy (’67). My first real job, outside babysitting, was working the summer noon buffet line for women golfers at Highland Meadows Golf Club under Betty Timko, Manager. (I learned the makings of a Betty Salad from the master!!) The summer after graduation I entered the Sisters of Notre Dame and feel truly blessed living and ministering with my Sisters. I have held the roles of junior high teacher, elementary school principal, CYSS Diocesan curriculum consultant, and miscellaneous others. I have degrees from Mary Manse College (’73), The University of Toledo (’87), and elementary principal licensure from the University of Dayton.

I enjoy perusing cookbooks especially those with pictures, compiling family genealogy, reading History, and viewing Masterpiece Theatre presentations—especially those with British actors. I am active in Cursillo in the Diocese.

My passion today is for pastoral care, for which I trained at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center in the Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) Program. Additionally, I completed a Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies (MAPS) at Chicago Theological Union (2010). My hope in coming on board at the Ursuline Center is to be an effective minister in pastoral care so that the words of Jesus “ I came so that they might have life, and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10 NAB Revised) are deepened in your hearts and mine. It is a joy to be among you.

Reflections from Sr. SandyLike many others who attended the North American

Ursuline Convocation in Louisville, I am still processing that “something” welling up from within me upon which I cannot put a name. That is what I told Fr. Michael Crosby, OFM, after his presentation. He was one of two Key Note Speakers; the second was Sr. Sandra Schneiders, IHM. The two combined helped us to un-wrap the theme of the Convocation, “A Radical Response in the Evolving World: Re-Imagining Angela’s Charism.”

It’s not easy to articulate the experience to those who were not there. Yes, we can quote the speakers

and one another in the summaries we include in our publications, but perhaps articulating it verbally is not what we are called to do. The context in which we usually hear the word “radical” has a negative connotation and upon hearing a comment in that regard, I was led to search its meaning. “Radical” is defined as “far-reaching” or “thorough.” Perhaps that is why we struggle with our verbal expressions of the charism, because by defining it, we are confining it. If it sounds a bit like what Karl Rahner said about God, that is because the charism is a spark of

Reflections from Sr. Sandy, continued

The Francis FactorSubmitted by Sister Mary Alice

“Being Christian involves joining one’s own life, in all its aspects, to the person of Jesus

and through Him, to the Father.”Twitter

Jewish feast of Rosh Hashanah, I read the chapter entitled “The Tears of God.” The author states that “when human and Divine crying mix with each other until the tears of God and man become one, the alchemy of the mixture opens up man’s heart and he is able to find God…unio mystica with the Divine through the agency of tears. Man and God merge in the tear-drop.” It was that very evening that we stood among those who cried tears of mourning.

“What radical response am I being called to in our evolving world?” This question was asked of each of us at the Convocation. Will the manner in which we live the answer be far-reaching and thorough? In the Jubilee homily, Fr. Bob Wilhelm said that Angela “decided that she could be a catalyst in her society and make a difference.” She urged us to do the same. The obedience to which she invited the members of the Company was to the Spirit, that something welling up from within, the feeling with which I began this reflection. In his message to the Jubilarians and to each of us, Fr. Wilhelm quoted the poet Bob Dylan: “Do not go gentle into that Good Night, Rage, Rage against the dying of the light.” As I offered him the sign of peace, he, in a hand gesture, a facial expression, and a tone of voice making a point, said, “I meant what I said about rage!” It is another word that can be misunderstood. My sense is that the poet used it to mean “an intense feeling or passion.”

I will end where Father Wilhelm ended his homily, putting a new twist on a message we know well from Angela. “Do something, get moving…” she said. We can all quote it and know that it ends with, “Then get on your knees and be ready for big surprises.” “Be bold,” said Fr. Wilhelm, “and make a lasting impression on society by reaching out in creative and innovative ways of bringing the gospel of Jesus to reality in our day.”

the Divine given for the greater good of God’s people. Therefore, each of us is an expression of the charism in our time and place, each adding her or his divine spark to the whole. If the charism shines through our “(w)holiness,” then it is indeed radical because it is thorough and able to be far-reaching. A recent happening comes to mind.

While in Louisville, several of us attended a vigil we were told was sponsored by both the Louisville Police Department and Black Lives Matter. It didn’t take us long to realize that it was a vigil specifically for the policemen who had been killed in Dallas and that it was sponsored by the group Support Our Heroes. Some among us noticed an African American family of four with a young woman who began to sob. They moved toward the family in a gesture of compassion and one of the Sisters wrapped her arms around the young woman, both protecting and empowering her to let her voice be heard. More of us slowly moved to join the circle surrounding the family. Others remained present to those who came to mourn the policemen. We stood not divided, but united in the truth that all lives matter. As our candles became stubs of wax, burning themselves out, the light within continued to shine.

This was an extra-ordinary event, but this radical reach of the charism is also meant to shine where we spend most of our time - in ordinary time. It is particular to each of us in our own context. “Obedience,” said Sandra Schneiders, “is agreeing to live in our own time.” “A new form of obedience,” Michael Crosby called it, in which we are “accountable to one another.” This is jubilee weekend and I know that each of our three Golden Jubilarians takes that seriously. For them, as for each of us, it has to be an experience open to the ever-changing circumstances in which she finds herself. It is not, cannot be the same as it was 50 years ago. It is not, cannot be the same today as it was yesterday. Each moment calls to us. It is as imperative today as it was in Angela’s time that we listen to that call and obey it. In their renewal of vows, Sisters Donna, Nelda and Carol each said yes to being open to hearing the Spirit spoken through this Community, and to be faithful to God’s Word directing them from within.

In front of the courthouse in Louisville, that call came through the sobs of a young woman. It comes through the tears of ALL who have lost loved ones on ANY side in the epidemic of violence that has become embedded in our country, in our world. It comes through the tears of God.

While in Louisville I found some time one morning to return to the book Tears by Marc Gafini. Now over half way through this detailed but compelling explanation of the

Pray and Fast for our CountryMembers of the LCWR Region 6 invite you to join us in the request for prayer and fasting for our country in preparation for the coming presidential election. We are suggesting that the second Tuesday of each month prior to the November election be a special day of prayer and fasting for this important election. There are many ways to fast and may each of us choose that which takes us to the feet of Jesus in praying for the common good for our country and all who will be affected by the outcomes of this election.

Supper at

Maumee Bay State Park

Wednesday, September 7, 2016beginning at 4:00 p.m.

An early song of the Medical Missionary Sisters with Sister Miriam Therese Winter, expressed a truth hidden in a hauntingly beautiful melody. It is a lament, the cry of which rings ever more urgent today. Some of the images expressed are moaning willows, restless sheep, a groaning creation, a scared and dying year, a lamenting whippoorwill, a crying cloud, hungry and lonely people. Only the water is clear and running because it is used as the metaphor for God. But water today would most assuredly join the lament of all who are begging the Spirit of God to “fill the earth” and “bring it to birth.”

Beginning this month we will present a different focus each month on Pope Francis’ Laudato Si continuing through May. We will be using ten main messages, or “takeaways” of this encyclical as seen through the eyes of Fr. James Martin, S.J. Through the newsletter, weekly intercessions, table discussion tips, and reflection questions, we hope to do our part in raising consciousness for Earth’s rebirth. This is August and nine months from now is the celebration of Earth Day. What might grow to awareness within us during this time of gestation, of the imminence of this lament for

Top 10 Takeaways from Laudato Sí

Earth, everything and everyone that depend upon her now, and in the time beyond us?

It is no coincidence that Pope Francis’ message in Laudato Si, published in May of 2015 and the Year of Mercy which he promulgated six months later, exist side by side in time. As members of the human family, we need the gifts of the earth in order to accomplish many of the corporal works of mercy, and fast running short of them, we beg the forgiveness of our fellow human beings who must suffer because our carelessness has in turn, caused the suffering of the earth. Might we also beg forgiveness of Earth, herself, who with all creation “groans” in mourning? May our God of Mercy hear our confession of omission that Creation’s tears of mourning may be turned into clear running waters once again.

1. The spiritual perspective is now part of the discussion about the environment.

Father Martin points out that until now the environmental dialogue has been framed mainly with political, scientific and economic language. With this encyclical the language of faith enters the discussion... Pope Francis does not impose his beliefs on those concerned about the environment but he invites others to listen to a religious point of view, particularly its understanding of creation as a holy and precious gift from God to be reverenced by all. Francis highlights the teachings of his predecessors, St. John Paul II and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. This groundbreaking document expands the conversation by inviting believers into the dialogue and providing fresh insights for those already involved.

For reflection and prayer:

► When are you reminded that all of creation is a precious gift from God and is to be respected and reverenced?

► In the world, what are individuals and groups doing to reverence creation?

► What is being done to destroy elements of God’s creation?

Let us pray for those who are mindful and working to restore creation and those whose actions diminish it.

Here it is already the end of July, where has the summer gone?

The residents of the Center had a great time at the ice cream social sponsored by the Associates last month. It was a great way to spend a hot Sunday afternoon in the middle of summer. Thank you to all who helped by bringing ice cream and toppings, and those who helped serve and clean up afterwards. Based on the response from residents and Associates alike, we are looking forward to making this an annual event.

Please plan to join us on Saturday August 27th at 5 p.m. for the annual Sisters and Associates Picnic at the Center. Please see the flyer in this newsletter for more information about this Community event and how you can help.

In July two Board members rotated off the Board. Teri Thourot served two full terms, six years in all, four of which were as the Secretary of the Board. Janet Ellzey served on the Board for one year. We are grateful for their time and service.

Sophia Lloyd will be a new Board member. Her term begins in September for a period of three years.

There remains an opening on the Board for one more member. If you have an interest in becoming a Board member please contact Sarah Abts at sarahabts@hotmail.com for an application.

My two-year term as Associate Director ended in July. Our new Director is Sarah Abts who has been serving as Director Elect since last Fall.

In closing I’d like to thank the Sisters, Associates, residents, and staff for their support during my time as Director. It has been challenging, in part because of family and personal health related issues. But I’ve learned that with the loving support of Community, the power of prayer, friendship, and Angela’s counsels the road has been a bit easier to travel.

In Angela’s Spirit of Peace,Kitty Meyers

From the Legacy CommitteeSince June of 2015 the Legacy Committee has been focused on addressing the question: how can we help the Associates continue to carry our legacy beyond our existence?

Four Associates were added to the Committee to give their perspective and work with the Sisters sharing their ideas, thoughts, and reflections on the readings and articles studied. At the May 2016 meeting the Associates were charged with the task to draft a statement that would be a response to how the associates continue to carry our legacy forward. Associates are: Chrissy Rode, Nanci Riddle, Kitty Meyers, and Sophia Lloyd.

The following statement was shared with the Sisters at their June Assembly, and in the fall at a community gathering there will be an appropriate blessing upon the statement and all the Ursuline Associates as the Ursuline Sisters continue to move forward and plan their future.

“The Ursuline Sisters of Toledo send forth the Associates to live out their sacramental call by embodying the living charism of St. Angela Merici, entrusting them with spiritual leadership and empowering them to create and sustain the legacy upon which the Ursuline Sisters and Associates are mutually founded.”

May all the Sisters and Associates pray that the above statement will become an integral part of the spirit of St. Angela that abides in each member as the work of the Legacy Committee continues.

With Gratitude

Dearest Ursuline Sisters,

Thank you, thank you for your most kind and thoughtful expressions of sympathy at our Mother’s passing. All five of us girls have simply LOVED the beautiful, handmade “Prayer Shawls.” They will certainly be a comfort to us in the many months and years ahead. Mother always enjoyed going to Mass at the Convent – she always considered you all her “dear friends” and she loved you all most sincerely.

Many thanks again for these lovely gifts. God bless you all!

Love, Mary, Sherry, Diane, Deby and Denise Martin

Dear Sisters of St. Ursula,

My very sincere Thank You to you for the beautiful “Prayer Shawl” given me at my Mother’s passing. I can only imagine the care and hours of time involved in the arrangement of all the rainbow colors. Thank you so very much for thinking of us.

We all owe an incredible debt to the Ursuline Sisters for our excellent years of formal education. We Martins all attended Rosary Cathedral, St. Ursula High School and I was fortunate to graduate from Mary Manse with a Teacher’s Degree. I have beautiful memories!

Thank you,Sharon Martin O’ Dell

“Rejoice and be of good heart!” Angela’s words are our words as we thank you for all your support, prayers, cards and gifts. May God bless you for being a special presence in our lives and part of our jubilee celebration, making our day spirited, holy and truly Ursuline.

Sisters Nelda, Donna, Carol

Dear Sister Sandy, the Ursuline Sisters and Associates,

Thank you hardly covers how I feel about your thoughtful and kind remembrance on the occasion of my 40th Jubilee.

I particularly want to thank Sister Mary Jo for bringing it to the attention of Sister Sandy and then Sister Sandy’s work getting the word out to everyone.

It was a grand day and celebration!!!!!Know that all of you are in my prayers in a

very special way at mass and when I rise in the morning.

Thank you once again and God bless you now and always.

Fr. Ric

Dear Sisters and Associates,

Thank you for your prayers, thoughts and kind words during my daughter Sara’s mission trip to Dominican Republic. She had a fantastic experience, and was safe and healthy the entire time.

Michelle Scazzero

Dear Sister,

Hopefully all is well with you and all the Sisters. I am back in the states for my doctors’ appointments and a chance to visit family and friends. I am now cancer-free for 4 years, so God has blessed me. My retirement in Mexico goes well. I am enclosing a check for $50 in memory of Sister Teresita Manner. She and I worked closely during my pastorate in Genoa. She was one very special lady.

Bless you and your ministry.Rev. Ron LeJeune

With Gratitude

Dear Sisters,

My mother was married to Gerard E. Daniel, and she and my father resided in Tiffin, Ohio, until their retirement from their farming operations in 1977. My father attended St. Joseph’s elementary school and Calvert High School, as did each of his 9 siblings. All seven children of my mother and father attended St. Joseph’s elementary school and/or St. Mary’s elementary school, and attended Calvert High School. The Ursuline Sisters were an important part of the education of our family and our extended family. By her will my mother wished to recognize all institutions which were important to her life with my father. So she has made the enclosed bequest to the Ursuline Sisters. This gift may not be great in size, but it came from a very big and loving heart. It is a “thank you” for the good work that the Ursuline Sisters have done, and encouragement for the continuance of such good work.

Per my Mother’s will, I am enclosing a check in the sum of $5,000.00.

Kurt M. Daniel

Dear Sister Sandy,

On behalf of the women and children of Aurora, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your donation of $5,000.00. The Aurora is very appreciative of your gift.

The Aurora Project Inc. is a comprehensive housing and life skills program that empowers homeless women and their children to achieve self-sufficiency and independence by providing resources and learning opportunities in a supportive and safe environment. Thanks to your support, Aurora can continue to create strong healthy families - with both mother and child reaching their full potential as contributing members of a healthy community.

Denise F. FoxExecutive Director

Dear Sister Sandy,

The goodness of the Ursuline Foundation Board makes the corporal works of mercy come alive. In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, I am most appreciative of your charity and support. Know that I am inspired by the dedication and tremendous generosity of so many for the good of the Church and those in need.

Most Reverend Daniel E. ThomasBishop of Toledo

Dear Sister Sandy and Sisters,

Thank you for your donation of $5,000 in support of the recent initiatives commissioned by Bishop Thomas. Your generosity will help us continue to protect those affected by human trafficking, immigration and refugee resettlement.

Your generosity and support of these new global initiatives help promote respect and protection for all human life.

God bless you!Rodney O. Schuster, Executive DirectorCatholic Charities

Catholics for Clothing with a Conscience Launches Human Thread Campaign

A 2016 report claims that there are presently 14.2 million people in forced labor exploitation and 168 million child laborers scattered across the global economy. Many are forced to work in the farms and factories that feed the apparel industry. For millions of others working in the industry, wages remain so low that they are unable to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.

In an effort to respond to this tragedy, and to address the dimension of human trafficking, especially of women, members of the Seventh Generation Interfaith Coalition for Responsible Investment have created The Human Thread. Inspired by Catholic Social Teaching, The Human Thread seeks to foster Catholics’ awareness that promotes solidarity betweens consumers of clothing and the people who produce them in order to create a more just economy and sustainable communities. More information is available at www.humanthreadcampaign.org.

UNICEF Reports the Lives and Futures of Millions of Children are in Jeopardy

UNICEF’s 2016 State of the World’s Children reports that based on current trends, 69 million children under five will die from mostly preventable causes, 167 million children will live in poverty, and 750 million women will have been married as children by 2030, the target date for the Sustainable Development Goals, unless the world focuses more on the plight of its most disadvantaged children.

The report notes that significant progress has been made in saving children’s lives, getting children into school, and lifting people out of poverty. But this progress has been neither even nor fair, according to the report. The poorest children are twice as likely as the richest to die before their fifth birthday and to be chronically malnourished. The report may be downloaded at www.unicef.org/sowc2016.
