Sr. Jane Quinlan Elected to General Government
A new Congregational Leadership Team was elected on the feast of
St. Ursula, Oct. 21, 2014, during a General Chapter in Pune, India.
The work of the Congregational Leadership Team is to foster the
mission of the Congregation in the Church throughout the world.
The members of the new Team are Sr. Bimla Minj (India) as
Congregational Leader; and her assistants, Sr. Nirmala Kujur (India),
Sr. Bernadette Mwavita (DR Congo), and Sr. Jane Quinlan (US).
Sr. Jyoti Kiro (India) is the secretary. The term of office is six years.
Sr. Bimla Minj, Sr. Bernade1e Mwavita,
Sr. Jane Quinlan and Sr. Nirmala Kujar
Sister Jane Quinlan, from the US Province, moved to Belgium to take
up her new post in February. The Leadership Team lives together in
Brussels in a three-story building called the Generalate, located next
to the Botanical Gardens in one of the busiest parts of the city.
Sr. Jane reflects on her new position and move, “On Feb. 18th I arrived at the National Airport of Belgium, located in
the village of Zaventem, at about 10 km from the center of Brussels. While on my way to my new home, I noticed
about 15 traffic signals unique to Belgium, puzzling crossroad signs, and bike lanes precariously close to the flow of
traffic. It took over a week to convince myself that I could ever drive in Belgium. After a few initial lessons and after
studying “Driving in Belgium from A to Z,” I now feel confident behind the wheel of the Toyota.
I watched the movie If It’s Tuesday, This Must be Belgium and chuckled at how we Americans are viewed abroad. I come
under the heading of ‘expat’ (expatriate). The culture and habits that make Belgium a unique place to live are often
noted by other Americans I’ve met. One example is that the one city can carry two names, one in French and one in
Flemish. Thus Antwerp and Anvers are the same place.
Taking up residence in another country as well as getting used to the food, weather, and driving patterns is always a
challenge. As Mark Twain said after one of his visits to Belgium, ‘In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of
weather inside of 24 hours.’ This is a little exaggerated, but there is some truth to it.
I see my horizons widening over the next 6 years. I look forward to getting to know the culture and life experience of
each sister. This prospect gives me joy as we move into a future filled with hope for our Ursuline Congregation.” Letter from the Provincial
The Ursuline Sisters and Associates of Tildonk strive to make God
known and loved. We make a difference in society through the witness
of our life profoundly rooted in God; a life of simplicity, harmony,
mutuality and hospitality. (Mission Statement)
Dear Co-Ministers,
You are our co-ministers, those who are with us
in the ministry. As such we come to know you,
love you and respect you.
In the first verse of his poem, A Prayer in
Spring, Robert Frost says:
O, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
Sr. Catherine Talia
As human beings we are frequently jumping ahead in life. As you read this
edition of the Newsletter, try to stay in the present reality of the people
featured, Sisters Meghan, Jane, Edith and our African and Indian Sisters
who have benefited from your generosity. We are proud of all of our Ursuline Sisters and Associates. We are happy that your generosity contributes to our well-being and to our ability to carry out our mission, “…to
make God known and loved; to make a difference in society through the
witness of our life profoundly rooted in God; a life of simplicity, harmony,
mutuality and hospitality.”
May the new life of spring bring you new life so that you may continue to
make a difference.

Spotlight on Service
Sr. Meghan ~ Teacher, Coach, Minister, Mentor
When Sr. Meghan was called to religious life, she never imagined that she would end up
ministering at her alma mater, Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Syosset. Sr. Meghan
professed her first vows on June 28, 2003 and her Final Profession was on June 10, 2006.
Sr. Meghan McArdle
“It is hard to explain the Why in responding to God’s invitation to enter Religious life.
There was no loud boom or phone call or major event that helped me realize my call,”
said Sr. Meghan. The definition of calling is an inner urge; strong impulse. While she was
happy teaching and living her life she kept having that inner urge to discern religious life.
Sr. Meghan was taught by the Ursulines at St. William the Abbott, where the Sisters had an impact on her. “I always
admired how the Sisters were real people who laughed and had fun while living a life dedicated to God.” While discerning religious life Sr. Meghan looked into different religious communities and their Founders and Foundresses.
She was particularly inspired by St. Angela Merici, foundress of the Ursuline Sisters, and believed she was called to
be part of a community that was trying to walk in St. Angela’s footsteps.
Her first ministry as an Ursuline was at her alma mater, Our Lady of Mercy Academy, where she currently teaches
10th and 11th graders Theology and coaches JV Volleyball and Varsity Softball. She also served as Campus Minister
for a few years. “The best part of my ministry is being with the students and teaching them that God is part of their
lives every day.” Sr. Meghan feels very comfortable at Our Lady of Mercy as she knows its history and is excited to
help build its future.
During the summer she ministers at another alma mater, St. William the Abbot, directing the Vacation Bible School.
She has run the summer camp for the past fifteen years. This has given her the opportunity to reconnect with the
community. Some of the children who have attended camp are children of Sr. Meghan’s classmates. She enjoys
bringing God to young children and gets to speak about God in a different way...through songs and dances.
Sr. Meghan is also the co-host of Guided by Grace on Telecare. The program is a panel discussion where Catholic
women share their experiences of faith and spirituality.
Sr. Meghan is a graduate of Mount St. Mary’s University, where she played 4 years of varsity softball. She continued
her education at St. John’s University earning a Masters in Moral Theology. In her spare time she coaches her
niece’s volleyball team and plays softball.
“I love my life. I am blessed and truly happy to be a part of the Ursulines, which allows me to be my authentic self.”
St. Ursula Center has space available for
meetings, conferences and family events.

Talented leadership is the cornerstone of successful organizations and the Staff at

International
International Financial Aid Fund
The Ursuline Sisters of Tildonk US Province is a part of a larger international congregation which includes
provinces in Belgium, India, and the Democratic Republic of Congo as well as Sisters in Guyana and Canada.
The International Financial Aid Fund was created to assist our international Sisters working in impoverish areas
of the world. Our financial help supports projects that provide care for the sick, education for the poor, and
healthy environments for our Sisters and their students. Our hope is to encourage sustainability, self-sufficiency
and empower the poor.
Some of the projects that IFAF helped to support in 2014 are:
India:
IFAF funds provided support of novitiate sisters as they
complete their studies to become teachers and nurses.
A compound wall was built around the Ursuline English
Medium School to provide security for the children.
Two septic tanks at the health center were repaired.
Democratic Republic of Congo:
Funds were provided for an Education project the Sisters
are working on with the Jesuit Refugee Service volunteers
helping traumatized and displaced youth. Our Sisters
provide education in the primary and secondary levels.
They are currently developing an online university. They
Children in the Ursuline English Medium School in India
have 60 young refugees studying online with emphasis on
peace, faith and spirituality. Sister Esperance Hamuli explains,
“To me education is about dignity. It’s about giving children — who have nothing — a way to engage in the society
around them and do something with their lives besides contribute to the violence that surrounds them.”

Our Sisters also received a grant from CHS Caregivers Fund providing an ambulance to both the Ranchi and
Ambikur Provinces. The CHS Caregivers Fund was initiated by the Catholic Healthcare Services (CHS) employees
to assist fellow caregivers who struggle just to obtain basic resources to care for those desperately in need. Ursuline Sisters of Tildonk

Why I Give
Helen Brown, Howard Beach, NY
As a lifelong resident of Howard Beach, it was only natural that my siblings and I attend Our Lady of Grace School
staffed by the Ursuline Sisters. While there I made lasting friendships with many of the sisters, in particular, Sister
Paula Carey. I visited her after she was transferred to Seafood, Connecticut, Bellerose and finally Blue Point. In
fact, for a few years, I accompanied Sister Paula to Fordham University once a week, as nuns were not permitted to
travel alone on public transportation in the 50s. This only strengthened our friendship.
I can thank the Sisters for reinforcing the faith I received from
my parents and for getting to know many of the saints I otherwise would never have known.
“The Sisters dedicated
their entire lives to
children with little in
return.”
The Sisters dedicated their entire lives to the children with little in
return. It is only natural that I give back to help them in their retirement. Many people are unaware that the diocese does not help the nuns and that they are on their own to survive. To give a little each month or annually is not too much to ask of their former students who (in my case)
received a wonderful education for practically nothing.
Would you like to share your reason? Please call 631-363-2422, ext. 2003 or email [email protected]
