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.’”

Ultimately,
the

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

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.’”

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.’”

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

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.

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. Pictured here

Volunteer profiles
A pre-med student reads
the classics to make
a difference
in a hospice setting, but he said this unique experience
will help anyone grow as a person and be prepared for
the hard times in life.
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

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.

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.

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!”
