From the Prioress
By: Sister Benita DeMatteis, OSB
Fidelity, faithfulness, and commitment do not get much
reinforcement in our society or media. We’re more likely to
find articles encouraging spontaneity or a readiness to try
something new - often at the expense of a prior obligation
or promise.
I realize how fortunate I have been to be surrounded by examples of faithfulness
all my life. My mother adhered firmly and devotedly to us and to the needs of our
family for 64 years. She showed us that faithfulness does not know weariness.
Monastic life is also grounded in commitment and faithfulness. Underlying the
three vows we take is one commitment. The promise we sign at the altar is one
promise: a promise to commit one’s entire being to the life God has given (stability),
to change and grow in grace in this life (conversatio), according to the demands
and limits this life brings (obedience). Faithfulness is a spiritual guard that forces us
to stop running in order to encounter God, self, and others right now, right here.
Beyond the challenging and sometimes painful process of growth in a relationship,
there is the tedium of stability. One wakes up in a marriage to the same face, year
after year. There are the little habits and quirks that never seem to go away. And
it is tedium, found in the daily round of monastic prayer, rising at the same early
time every morning, sharing meals and recreation with the same people week in
and week out, and always in the same place or keeping a household going, that
forces us to stop running away so that we may find God in the here and now.
Both the marriage bond and monastic vows involve commitment and faithfulness
to years of difficult, often painful learning. Neither guarantees automatic peace of
mind. But each gives a firm foundation in which to enter into the inevitable difficulties
of growth, for we know that growth will indeed come through commitment.
“Never swerving from his instructions, then, but faithfully observing his teaching
in the monastery until death, we shall through patience share in the sufferings of
Christ that we may deserve also to share in his kingdom.” (RB Prologue)
St. Benedict spoke of progress in monastic life as a progress in faith. Faith means
something more than belief. It is steadfastness through the ups and downs of life
and our psychological responses to life. This is the sense St. Benedict has of the
word when he says the monk is a “man of faith.” The monastic is a person who is
faithful to the journey she has begun to follow. She is committed to that openness
which is a progression from the limitations of self into the limitless life of God.
Faithfulness to prayer bolsters us in hard times. Our prayer is a mirror of our life.
Commitment happens on a daily basis. It is something we grow into. On our
Profession day, we profess our vows to live a life of dedication to God, but each and
every day, we make a conscious decision again and again to live with faithfulness.
Commitment is being at home within ourselves. Whatever we do we do for a
purpose larger than ourselves.
The faithfulness of each of you, our friends and benefactors who have blessed
us so abundantly throughout this past year, is such an inspiration. Thank you for
the many ways in which you bless the lives of our Sisters and our ministries.
Mary, who lived faithfulness to its fullness holds our hand and leads us to Jesus,
our hope. One step at a time we can make small daily differences which, over time,
add up to big differences. This is faithfulness.

Faithfulness
Does It Have a Place in the 21st Century
By: Sister Shelly Farabaugh, OSB
Toward the end of the year, often people
stop to evaluate their lives. Where am I going?
Is my career successful in the way I had hoped?
Are there relationships in my life that I need
to evaluate? Am I happy? The last question
is often the hardest since our definition of
happiness changes with each age and era.
You
shall
never
walk
alone…
Abraham Lincoln said: “People are about as happy
as they make up their mind to be.” When I was younger,
I hated that quote because it made me responsible for
something that I wanted to fall out of the sky and
land on my head. Does this mean I might have some
choice if I am unhappy in my life? And what is it that
contributes to happiness? People who use drugs might
say happiness means having no pain. Some people
might say happiness comes from getting what you want
for yourself and others. There was a recent movie
called “The Pursuit of Happyness” where a man lost
everything and continued to be an example of hope for
his son. He was not destroyed by adversity but took
the challenges that presented themselves and worked
hard to transform his life in order to be a good father
and example for his son.
As Benedictine monastics, we take a vow that used
to be called Conversion of Morals. Now it is more
appropriately called “Conversion according to the
monastic way of life.” That means that we never stop
trying to grow and learn. We never arrive at the end

As Benedictine monastics, we take a vow that used to be called
Conversion of Morals. Now it is more appropriately called
“Conversion according to the monastic way of life.”
“I baptize you…”

point until we die. To be open to change, to let go
of our opinions, to let someone else do it their way
(when we think that our way is better) can be very
difficult – yet that is what this vow means. It calls us
to allow ourselves to be transformed by the life that
God presents to us. We are called to be faithful in
our pursuit of a higher good and to be transformed
by the journey.
Now some of you might say, but that is what I
do and I have never taken the vow of Conversion
of Life. You may have been baptized, formally or
informally, and you have chosen to allow your life to
be directed by something greater than yourself and
your own appetites and wants. As religious people by
our Baptism, as spiritual people by our commitment in
our lives, as Benedictines by our vow, we have decided
to allow the glory of God to be alive in us and to share
it with others. So how is this really important? We
are talking about fidelity to the song God placed in
our lives and hearts. A real meaning of happiness is
accepting things as they are and not just as we would
want them – to be different or to be smoother or to
be my way.
We are really talking about happiness that comes
from fidelity. Fidelity has synonyms like loyalty,
devotion, and piety. Fidelity means faithfulness to
something to which one is bound by pledge or duty.
And most especially, loyalty indicates faithfulness

on the occasion of her 50th Anniversary.
in the face of temptation to renounce, betray, or desert
the process of being transformed by fidelity.
We live in a time of “seeking the easier way”, “what’s
the least I can do?”, and “that is too much trouble.”
I dare say transformation and fidelity have lost their
importance for many people in their pursuit of happiness.
Psalm 1 talks about the way to happiness which is
clinging to God’s way. The second chapter of Sirach
also spells out the process of fidelity:
“My child, when you come to serve the LORD,
prepare yourself for trials.
Be sincere of heart and steadfast,
undisturbed in time of adversity.
Cling to him, forsake him not;
thus will your future be great.
Accept whatever befalls you,
in crushing misfortune be patient;
for in fire gold is tested…”
(Sirach 2: 1-3)
As Benedictines, as Christians, as people of faith and
spirit, we are called to fidelity in the search for God in
our lives and in our world. If that search is a time of trial
for you, remember that others are journeying along with
you and can be a support and help in your transformation.
We need Conversion and Fidelity and Loyalty to be
pilgrims together on the way to true happiness.

Monastic
Seekers Today
By: Sister Evelyn Dettling, OSB
In the Holy Rule, St. Benedict says: “The concern
must be whether the novice truly seeks God and shows
eagerness for the work of God, for obedience and
for trials.” This good zeal comes from a heart truly
motivated by love, a love that overflows in peace and
joy in the daily observance of the Rule. This is the
benchmark for an authentic monastic vocation. In
today’s world, there are people who still find this ageold injunction “to seek God in prayer and in service”
a compelling invitation.
A recent conversation with several women who are
interested in becoming vowed members of our monastic
community, made clear that this focus of St. Benedict
on seeking God, on obedience and loving service, on
remaining steadfast even in difficult situations is at
the heart of their attraction to religious life. Each
responded in her own way to the question, “Why are
you interested in monastic life?”
6
One woman said:
I came to the monastery because I wanted to seek
God in a deeper way and to discover ways to serve
God in and through others. I wanted to do this every
day, not just as a volunteer in my parish. I enjoyed my
career in the business world but found that it became
shallow and meaningless. I felt I was being called to
more. As I listened to the Spirit of God in prayer and
through those around me, I realized I desired a way
of life that would encompass my very being. I wanted
to live in community, to be engaged in communal
prayer from which would flow a ministry of service
to others. Each day I seek to continue on my journey
in seeking God in the present moment. Even though
this is not always easy, I witness the peace and joy of
those older sisters who have struggled faithfully to
live this life for many years, and I am at peace.
The front entrance of St. Benedict Monastery
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
“Let all, therefore, follow the
Rule in all things as their guide,
and from it let no one rashly
turn aside. Let no one in the
Monastery follow the will of her
own heart: nor let anyone presume
insolently to contend with her
Prioress, either within or without
the Monastery.”
Saints Benedict and Scholastica
(Original clay sculpture by Sr. Dolores Conley, OSB)
Benedictine spirituality teaches us that life in
Community is Christ-o-centric. The Prioress is
to represent Christ to her Community.
Another stated:
Women today live in a climate of radical change.
Our culture has slowly begun the hard work of
unveiling past structures and mindsets in order to
face the deep truths that set us free to claim our true
energy and become who we truly are. Religious life is
a viable, intentional path for seeking our inner soul.
We are looking to connect with our truest self, our
deepest identity that unites us with God. We want to
join our mission, our ministry, our cause with the
cause of all creation, with God. We can do this only
in the framework of sacred relationships. By living in
community, by sharing communal prayer and life’s
deep mysteries, we become one with each other, one
with creation, and one with God. Religious life is not
so much an answer to the mysteries of life, as the
road that leads to the fullness of life. The closer we
get, the more we see that we have been there all
along. The journey of monastic life is about learning
to know and trust ourselves, each other, and God.
A third woman who has been a vowed member of an
apostolic community for a number of years and now
wants to transfer to a monastic community noted:
I found here at St. Benedict Monastery a strong
commitment to living a vital, faithful, and meaningful
community life. The sisters treat each other with
reverence and help one another with mutual respect.
(Rule of St. Benedict, Chapter 3
Fidelity to communal prayer, religious traditions and
customs like standing in “statio” on major feasts and
processing into chapel as a total community have
touched my heart. This supportive atmosphere and
common prayer have enabled me to minister wholeheartedly to people in need. Each day, I feel more at
home, more able to be myself within the community
working, playing, and praying together.
When asked about the challenges of living monastic
life today, all three women agreed that maintaining a
balance among prayer, ministry, and leisure is at the
head of the list. They mentioned that living simply
takes insight and determination to distinguish their
real needs from their wants and desires. For each of
them, there is a need for patience with the process of
incorporation. To grow into a community of friends
and disciples and attain a true sense of belonging and
“at homeness” takes time.
The spontaneous and unrehearsed answers of
these women support the findings of researchers like
Patrice J. Tuohy who states that women are drawn to
religious life today for an in-depth prayer life, immersion
in community, and meaningful service to God’s people.
Today’s vocation directors and discerners prove that
the wisdom of Benedict in the 6th century is still true,
viable and meaningful in our post-modern world.
“The concern must be whether the novice truly
seeks God and shows eagerness for the work of God,
for obedience and for trials.”

Focus On: Sisters Judith Nero and Mary Edward Skovran
Sisters Susanne Chenot and Michael Mack, OSB
Sr. Judith Nero, OSB
Sister Judith Nero was born in
Canton, Ohio, of Italian immigrant
parents, Cipriano and Santella. She
was raised with her sister Jean and
received her education in both the
public and Catholic schools. As she
became acquainted with the Benedictine Sisters in her
parish, she had the desire to enter the Community
after the 8th grade, but due to her mother’s long term
illness, she deferred to her father’s wish that she stay
home and help with her care.
Following high school and work in the business field,
Sr. Judith did enter the community. Her experiences
were, and still are, ones in which she has used her
creativity. As she puts it: “Perhaps what is typical
of my years in ministry is my readiness to take on
Sister Mary Edward Skovran, OSB
Sister Mary Edward Skovran has called Pittsburgh
home from the early 1920’s when her parents immigrated
to America with 5 children. Eventually 5 more children
were born. To be even more specific, she grew up on
the North Side and attended St. Mary School which was
staffed by the Benedictine Sisters. Her high school
education was at St. Benedict Academy. “To become
Benedictine was a whole lifetime experience. Their
examples led me to listen for the call from God.” Now
this is not so unusual when we learn that her mother
was a Benedictine Oblate and an older sister, Sister
Andrea, entered the Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh
ten years before Mary Edward did.
Education, as a teacher and principal, was her main
ministry in Pennsylvania and Ohio for most of her years
in Community. After those years in education, there were
other ministries; and to name a couple, she worked at
an Adult Day Care Center, in the Nutrition Center at
a Senior Citizens Center, and as a volunteer in an
elementary school. Recently, Sister was granted the
opportunity to “retire”. She enjoys the time that she

new ventures, the ability to adjust and adapt to new
circumstances, applying education, formation and
experience in pastoral ministry to new situations.”
Sr. Judith is one woman who has the talent to “think
outside the box”! She has been teacher, Parish Social
Ministry, DRE, Pastoral Care Associate, Campus
Minister, Coordinator of Elderly Services for Catholic
Charities, Community Vocation Director, and more.
What keeps Sister Judith faithful? Judith states that
experiencing the fidelity and constancy of family, sisters
in community and others enables her to be faithful. She
remembers the promise of the presence of God when
the going gets rough: “I will be with you always”, and
“I can do all things in God who strengthens me.”
Regarding the future of the community, Sister Judith
hopes that we embrace the world, not afraid of adjusting
to new circumstances, addressing new challenges to
continue this way of life known as Benedictine.
now has for herself and remains a
vibrant, full of life, willing to help,
and always smiling member of
Community.
So what keeps Sr. Mary Edward
Skovran faithful to her Benedictine
commitment? “The grace of God;
Community living and prayer; the
companionship of my Sisters and their acceptance and
affirmation of who I am and what I do” is her unhesitant
response. And when it gets a little rough, what keeps
her steady? With her beautiful smile, she states: “Simply
placing all in the hands of God. Smile and be happy;
help others in need; spread God’s love to others.”
Speaking about faithfulness, Sr. Mary Edward will
be celebrating her 60th Anniversary in Religious Life
in 2009! Her hopes for the future of the Community
are that “… the Community remains a spirited one
with the Sisters involved in the ministries of the time
that give witness to the love of God. Above all, the
Sisters should be a witness and/or advocates for those
in need. Work for PEACE here and now for
the entire world.”

The Gifts of
Sisters Eleanor Easly, Ludmilla Rojik and Claudia Kunzler
By: Sisters Elizabeth Matz and Judith Ann Criner, OSB
God called three of our Sisters one by one to come to their eternal home.
Sister Eleanor Easly, OSB

Sister Ludmilla Rojik, OSB
Sister Claudia Kunzler, OSB
Sister Eleanor Easly, OSB
Sister Ludmilla Rojik, OSB
Sister Eleanor Easly’s gracious gentleness was conveyed
to the hundreds of young children she educated. Through
her many years as an educator, Sister Eleanor’s deep
love of the Eucharist became an example for the little
children as she prepared them for First Holy Communion.
You could readily see Sr. Eleanor’s love for her students
as they would surround her with their bright, eager
faces. Sister said that it was a “toss up” as to who
benefited the most in her classroom – the children in
their pursuit of learning or Sr. Eleanor as she received
their warmth and love.
Sister Eleanor was a faithful presence at the Divine
Office and Eucharist, the love of her life. She participated
in all of the prayer times of the community even when
it became difficult for her. The rhythm of prayer was
an important part of Sr. Eleanor’s life.
The gift of laughter was an important part of Sister’s
make-up. Whether it was her hearty laugh when she won
a round of pinochle or her appreciation of something
humorous, Eleanor had an infectious laugh and smile.
The members of the Community would delight in any
visit of “Agnes” at our many community gatherings.
This was a time when Sister Eleanor (the former Agnes
Easly) would regale the community with stories, jokes
and quips while attired in her “Agnes” dress and finery.
Sister Eleanor went to our gracious God on July 9,
2008. May she live in peace.
Sister Ludmilla Rojik heard the words of the Prophet
Isaiah “…with divine recompense God comes to save
you…” Sister’s long life of 101 years was a witness to
the fullness of fidelity, abiding friendship, reverence for
the young and the old. Throughout her 83 years of
monastic life, she spent much time in front of the Blessed
Sacrament praying Divine Office, attending Eucharistic
Liturgy and quietly reading or praying the rosary.
Her love of all was evident, particularly during
her years of ministry. Sister taught for 53 years in the
elementary schools of the Pittsburgh and Greensburg
dioceses. After caring for her elderly mother, Sr. Ludmilla
came home to the Monastery to continue to serve her
Monastic family in a variety of ways.
Sister Ludmilla appreciated the monastic value of
stewardship. Later years would find her beautifying
special nooks of the Monastery. Sr. Ludmilla really
enjoyed caring for plants. Her “green thumb” could
make a “stick” take on lush foliage. She also had
an artistic bent that was expressed in her crocheting
projects. Many an infant wore the delicate creations
that her crochet hook had produced.
Like Sr. Eleanor, Sr. Ludmilla had a lively sense of
humor. With a perfectly straight face and a twinkle in
her eye, she would share a quip that made one truly
appreciate her and her insight into a situation.
Sister Ludmilla followed the call of the Guardian
Angels on October 2, 2008. May she sing with the
angels on High.
Following a brief hospital stay, Sister Claudia
Kunzler returned to her heavenly Father on
October 27, 2008.
Sister was one of three sisters who entered the
Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh. She was preceded
in death by Sister Anna Marie Kunzler. Sister Carolyn
Kunzler continues to reside at the Monastery.
When asked about why she entered the Benedictine
Sisters of Pittsburgh, Sister Claudia responded, “For
me, the best way I could fulfill my Baptismal call to
know, love and serve God, was to give myself totally
to God through my vowed life as a Benedictine Sister.”
During her 61 years of Monastic life, she spent as
much time as possible in quiet prayer before the
Blessed Sacrament. Sister Claudia had great devotion
to the Blessed Virgin. The rosary was an important
part of her personal prayer life.
Ministry to others was also very important to
Sr. Claudia. For 55 years, she educated primary
children in the Dioceses of Pittsburgh, Greensburg
and Altoona-Johnstown. One of the “best” parts of
her teaching experience was the preparation of second
graders for their First Holy Communion. Sr. Claudia
felt deeply honored to assist these little ones in coming
“to the Table of the Lord”. One of her pastors, Fr. Ted
Maida, said of her, “No matter what Sister Claudia
does in the classroom, her love for God radiates
through her example and teaching.” Sister Claudia was
a recipient of the Golden Apple Award in recognition
for her contributions to teaching excellence.
Following her teaching ministry, Sister Claudia
served as Nutrition Director at the Benedictine Senior
Center. She also became a beloved member of the
Life Pittsburgh Program during her later years.
The Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh continue to
miss Sr. Claudia’s winning smile and her witness of
unwavering dedication to God.

Following Their Call
By: Sister Susan Merrie English, OSB
Here on the Mount, our Sisters continue to faithfully serve
God through their ministries. Even though the ministries
vary, the mission is always the same – to seek conversion
of life in all humility through their daily work of service
to others. In this column, we recognize both the ordinary
and extraordinary events that lead to the conversion of
life or “conversio morum” in the daily lives and ministries
of the Sisters.
The Benedictine Senior Center received a “face lift” with new
carpeting and freshly painted walls thanks to a bequest from a
former member, Ann Rose Smith. Sr. Evelyn Dettling, who
served lovingly as the community subprioress for the past ten
years, is now the new Director of the Center. Sr. Mary Agnes
Gmuer, who served as the procurator/building manager in
charge of housekeeping and maintenance for the past seventeen
years, is developing new talents as the Secretary of the Center.
Sr. Corinne Moeller sadly relinquished her job at the local food
bank to return to the Center as the Information and Referral
contact. Sr. Norma Weigand transferred her culinary skills from
Meals on Wheels to the Nutrition Center where she organizes
and distributes meals to the seniors. These three Sisters join with
Sr. Georgine Schweers, Finance Director, and Srs. Valeria
Osterrieder and Mary Kay Easly, loyal volunteers, as they
carry out their respective ministries. The Center recently received

Sr. Barbara Jayne Vopat led a pilgrimage to the Holy Land
with Fr. Dan Begin in December. The trip is a fundraiser for
the community.
Sr. Benita DeMatteis, our new prioress, and Sr. Michael Mack,
our new treasurer, attended NATRI (National Association of
Treasurers of Religious Institutes) in Denver from November 17 to
November 21. Even though this was their first NATRI meeting
in their new monastic leadership roles, this was actually the last
NATRI meeting as NATRI is merging with the Legal Resource
Center for Religious. The new organization will be called the
Resource Center for Religious Institutes. Dan Ward, OSB, will
be the Executive Director.
Sr. Bridget Reilly was an adult leader at a Kairos Retreat for
Juniors and Seniors at Quigley Catholic High School this past
Fall. She led a meditation on the Challenge of Christ. During
the retreat, the students developed a deeper understanding of
Christ, of others and of themselves that will help them grow
into mature adults.
Sr. Donna Wojtyna was busy making baskets for her Christmas
orders in December. Sr. Donna will be offering more basketry
classes, workshops and retreats in the spring as well as sculpture
classes. Both beginner and experienced artisans are welcome.
Call the Monastery at 412-931-2844 for more information.
Sister Jeanne Ubinger went to Milwaukee to attend the
Inauguration of Dr. Helen (Zaremsky) Sobehart ’66 as president
of Cardinal Stritch University. (Sister Jeanne attended Cardinal
Stritch and graduated with a Masters Degree in Special Education
in 1973.) This event gave Sister an opportunity to meet with
many friends from the past as well as attend a beautiful Mass,
a wonderful ceremony, and a delightful dinner with excellent
speakers.
Sr. Joann Hothersall accepted a position as counselor at
Mercy Behavior Health – Ross Center. Sister is working with
mentally challenged adults. Currently the center has 35 clients.
She feels blessed and is learning how to live and love God to
the fullest through this ministry.
Sr. Karen Brink, principal at St. Teresa of Avila School is proud
to report that her students teamed up with the children served
by our Benedictine mission in Greene County and provided
150 pairs of new athletic shoes and 50 pairs of flip flops as
well as a donation of $1300.00 for shoes for needy children.
In addition, during Advent, the students will donate new
scarves, hats and mittens or cash for Christmas gifts for children
in Greene County. Srs. Susan Fazzini and Audrey Quinn are
the directors of the Greene County mission. Sr. Karen recently
trained as a facilitator for the Protecting God's Children
Program for the Diocese of Pittsburgh. This program is a
workshop in which all adults who work with children in any
church related capacity must participate.
Sr. Lucille Snyder, who recently returned from care-giving for
her mother in Florida, and Sr. Monica Silan, who recently retired
as secretary of the Senior Center, have both taken on a new
ministry as weekday portresses. The Portress is the person who
greets visitors at the front door of the monastery. In addition,
Sr. Lucille continues to care for her 100 year old mother who
is now living at the Monastery.
Sr. Marcia Koluder keeps herself busy making crafts for the
gift shop. She is assisted by Sr. Catherine Murphy. Anyone
looking for a miscellaneous button, ribbon, or scrap of fabric
can usually find it in their cheery workroom.
Sr. Mary Damian Thaner volunteered to lead Bible Reading
as one of the regular activities at Life Pittsburgh starting last
November. Life Pittsburgh is an organization sponsored by
Allegheny County Department for the Aging and advocates
independent living for the elderly. Sister has enjoyed responding
to some of the challenging questions posed by the group
participants. Sister Mary Damian and Sister Judith Ann
Criner attended a community meeting at the Divine Providence
Motherhouse to answer questions regarding the Life Pittsburgh
program. The Divine Providence community was hosting an
informational meeting as they considered options for their
senior sisters.
Sr. Mary Edward Skovran has taken on the ministry of
prayer for the community. She includes all those in active
ministries, the sick, and all those who “are in between.” Since
her “retirement” from “outside” ministry she has enjoyed
extra time to be in chapel with the Lord. Sister keeps busy
with exercise classes, helping with daily chores in the dining
room, working on her jigsaw puzzles and creating a family
tree. She reports that God has blessed her with many happy
years in this Benedictine Community
Sisters Nancy Booth and Judith Nero accepted the invitation
of Saint Benedict Church in Canton, Ohio, to attend their
85th anniversary celebration on November 9 at an 11 AM
Mass followed by a dinner in the church hall. The parish also
invited Sister Elizabeth Matz and Sister Evelyn Dettling
who were unable to attend. These four Sisters entered the
Benedictine community from that parish. Srs. Nancy and Judith
enjoyed seeing the recent renovations, getting reacquainted
with old friends, and being remembered by past students.
Sr. Judith was delighted to find her own 8th grade graduation
picture hanging among the photo displays!
Sr. Rosalyn Soller, novice director, and Sr. Linda Larkman,
novice attended the Benedictine Eastern Formation Conference
in Bristow, Virginia, last October. The main speaker was
Sr. Judith Heble, OSB, and the discussions centered on the
meaning of Benedictine Life. Both Sisters felt it was a meaningful
experience well worth the time and travel.
Sr. Shelly Farabaugh recently received a promotion at work.
She is now Clinical Manager for Behavioral Health Services
for UPMC Health Plan. This gives Sr. Shelly the opportunity to
help both members and providers get the care needed for
Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Services. UPMC recently
integrated the management of physical health, mental health
and substance abuse care in order to more effectively serve
the whole person. Sr. Shelly was also appointed to the Board
for HEARTH and serves on the Program Committee where she
helps the women and children at Benedictine Place achieve
their goals for successful transition to permanent housing and
identify barriers that might impede their goals.
Sr. Susan Merrie English is preparing to teach in the new
Professional Coach Certification Program being offered at
Duquesne University starting in April. The classes are being offered
through the School of Leadership and Professional Advancement.

ARCHIVAL Echoes
Faithfulness Through the Years
By: Sister Kathleen Mack, OSB
It is the Monastic woman’s belief that “to be faithful
through the years” means that she must walk the path
that Jesus walked. This does not mean simply to know
how to pray, or to suffer, or to teach religion. It is the
ability to bring a loving touch of concern to those
with whom we are working. As monastic women, we
learn early in our religious lives to bring God into our
dealings with others.
As I was thinking about this article and the theme,
Faithfulness, I received a letter from a former student
sharing with me a thesis she wrote while attending
John Carroll University. The theme of the thesis was
about religious women who were certainly spiritual
women but also were human beings. She used as her
models, St. Therese of Lisieux and Dorothy Day. These
two women she says lived the ups and downs of daily
life in a spiritual manner. They succeeded in capturing
and sharing their religious experiences with others.
In her letter to me, she states that “these were holy
women… of whom I consider you one…” and she
continues…”you have been such a mentor to women
who strive to be righteous. I often think about the
powerful demeanor you convey through such a
peaceful manner. You were touchable yet always
respected. You accomplished so much, changed lives,
and taught us all to believe in God and in ourselves.
A Benedictine Sister of Pittsburgh with her class – circa 1890.
So often in life people don’t embrace both tenets of
a truly authentic being.”
Her letter continues: “I desire a journey here that will
ultimately lead to personal transformation and eternal
happiness. I am not seeking a grandiose existence but
only to act as a mere instrument to promote Godliness
in ‘everyday-ness’ to the lives of those I love.”
Reading her letter and the way she addressed
“everyday-ness” in her thesis, the word, Faithfulness,
came to my mind. This is what we mean by “Faithfulness”
… following God day by day, facing the daily ups and
downs in a manner that will touch others and bring
them closer to their Creator.

Planned Giving
Sisters Evelyn Dettling and Alice Rock enjoy a Fiesta as a part of a Community day
of information and enrichment.
The Sisters continue to make plans
for the future of ministries to the needy
of the regions where they serve and
reside. In order to more adequately
prepare for future ministry, they have
taken steps to initiate a planned giving
program. The program will encompass
bequests, insurance, charitable gift
annuities (through the Diocesan program),
charitable remainder trusts, memorials,
endowments, gifts of property, securities
and cash. As our planning progresses,
you will see more material explaining
each of these areas and how you may
become involved in any of them. The
revised website will devote an area that
will provide more information to pursue
at leisure.
Credit Card Donations

her former pastor, Fr. Len Stoviak, at
St. John Baptist Parish in Scottdale, PA.
Sister Rose Budicky tenderly cradles a
young visitor who enjoys a nap.
Share Your DTV Coupons
Even if you don’t need the two free $40 government coupons
that help defray the cost of TV converter boxes to prepare for
the switch to digital television signals on February 17, 2009,
you could apply for them anyway. A donation of these coupons
could be used by the Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh to utilize
in our healthcare rooms and the rooms of several of our senior
Sisters. While basic cable is available in several areas of the
Monastery, the Maurus Hall healthcare rooms do not have
access to cable. Your donation of the DTV coupons would be
gratefully appreciated.
From our letters to you, you are
probably already aware of the use of
credit cards to donate toward the
ministries of the Benedictine Sisters of
Pittsburgh. The Community initiated this
service in response to the request of a
number of individuals who asked for the
ease of using a credit card for multiple
donations throughout the year. After much
research and exploration, the Benedictine
Sisters chose to accept Master Card or
Visa credit card donations through a
very secure banking arrangement.
It is our hope that this arrangement
will enable individuals to more easily
participate in assisting the Sisters in
ministry to the needs of others.
The Sisters continue to make plans for the future of ministries
to the needy of the regions where they serve and reside.

The
Gifts of 2007-2008
Sr. Judith Ann Criner, OSB
2007-2008 Donations
The past year has blessed the Benedictine Sisters
of Pittsburgh with many Partners of St. Benedict
and other benefactors who have been very generous
in supporting the ministries of the Sisters.
Through their active participation in our outreach
to those in need, our donors have assisted the Sisters
in educating youth in grade schools, high schools and
college; serving parishes as parish coordinators, pastoral
ministers, administrative personnel, RCIA directors
and teachers; caring for the elderly; fostering children
and serving the needs of the needy in Greene County
and Phelps, KY; caring for those with special needs,
mental challenges, the homeless and those alienated
from society. They have assisted the Sisters in promoting
the Benedictine values of stewardship, peace and justice
in Western Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Our Partners
of St. Benedict and benefactors have reached out in
service to the hundreds of individuals who are served
by the Benedictine Sisters.
Throughout the year, donors have responded to
our appeals with enthusiasm and support. They have
contributed $418,552.50 in outright donations and
many thousands of dollars in in-kind and donated items
and services.
Without such generosity, the Benedictine Sisters
of Pittsburgh would not be able to continue to
carry out our ministry to those who are in need.
Without them, the Sisters would not be able to
adequately give witness to the Word of the
Gospel message or the Rule of St. Benedict.

Prayers of
Gratitude
“The ancient rabbis said that anyone who enjoys
the pleasures of this earth without a blessing is a
thief! … This sense of gratitude should find expression
not only in our celebration of the Mass, the liturgy
of thanksgiving, but also in our awareness of such
common gifts as the sunrise, a new pair of shoes,
or even a hot shower!
To pronounce a blessing prayer is to be reminded
that we are, today, in the middle of the divine flow
of gifts. The mystery of God’s love for us is all
around us, alive and dynamic.”
(Edward Hays)
As a part of a Community Meeting prior to
Thanksgiving, the Sisters gathered to pray for all of
the blessings that they experienced individually and
communally during the previous year.
Since this issue of BENEDICTINES lists all of our
donors and the blessings that they have gifted us with
the past year, we thought that you might like to read a
sampling of the gratitude papers written by our Sisters.
•
I am grateful “for the challenges and opportunities
to be the ‘Glory of God.’”
•
I am grateful for Community Members who are
loving, caring and reliable.
•
I am grateful for the support my Sisters in
community give me each day. This, in turn,
reminds me of my responsibility to be a joyful
influence for them.
I am grateful for our Liturgical life because it
draws us closer as a Community.
• I am ever grateful for our Community Prayer.
It is what initially drew me to enter … and it is
the ‘glue’ that keeps us who we are.
•
Sisters join in a service
of Thanksgiving in the
Monastery dining room.
I am thankful
• For various ministries
• For daily prayer and Eucharist
• For the people who guided me, supported me,
affirmed me and helped me to grow
•
For warm smiles, kind words
For the love and support I receive from community
• For food, shelter and clothing
• For the opportunities of service that have been given
to me throughout my years in Community
•
•
For my parents,
family and friends
•
For challenges and
transitions
•
For material needs
and comforts
•
For the example of
loving service from
community members
•
•
Breads of Thanksgiving
For being able to assist others
For those who are gifts to us and share their blessings
The prayer service ended with these words read together:
“May our giftedness always help us
remember those who have less.
May our comforts always help us
remember those who are suffering.
May our wants always be
distinguished from our needs.
Fr. William Fay, Monastery
Chaplain, raises the Word
for the congregation to see
before proclaiming the
Gospel. The Eucharist is the
main liturgical celebration of
thanksgiving and gratitude
for the Benedictine Sisters.
May we live always with an attitude of appreciation,
rather than an attitude of entitlement.
May we live with open hearts, receive with open
hands, and pass our blessings on to others everyday.
May we begin and end each day
with hearts overflowing with thanks.
