We go forward with hearts centered in God Our Community Leadership Team (CLT) came together last week to learn and build on dialogue skills, to consider the voice of the Community spoken so clearly at Assembly, and to identify priorities for the next 12 months. Although you weren’t physically there, your spiritual presence lifted us up and sustained us through the work, and we begin this term filled with hope and sure of the presence of God and Mercy in our world. This weekend we’re encouraged—and challenged—by readings for the 25th Sunday of Ordinary time. The reading from Paul’s letter to Timothy offers a wonderful blessing: Beloved: First of all, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for everyone, for kings and for all in authority, that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity. 1 TM 2:1–2 We offer this prayer for you and ask you to do the same for us as we stand with a world in desperate need of tranquility. And we continue to rejoice that our hearts are with yours, as Catherine McAuley said, “centered in God, for whom alone we go forward or stay back.” In memoriam Sister Maureen Ryan died peacefully after a long illness Saturday, September 3, 2016, in Kingston, Jamaica. A Sister of Mercy for 65 years, she was 81 years old. Sister Maureen was born in Ireland but entered the Community Sister Maureen Ryan in Jamaica, where she ministered for most of her life. She made her perpetual vows in August 1957 in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she also earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry from Our Lady of Cincinnati (Ohio) College. Among her ministries, she served as principal of Alpha Boys’ School (now Alpha Institute) and of Mount St. Joseph Prep School, both in Kingston, Jamaica. Sister Maureen had lived at The Claver Home in Kingston since October 2008. An extended obituary is included with today’s attachments.

This book chronicles her often uncomfortable, sometimes painful journey from lack of awareness that she was a part of a race to advocacy. She needed to learn from “people of white” who were further along the journey and certainly from people of color. Her book is divided into short chapters with reflection/discussion questions after each chapter. Reading and reflecting on the questions gave me a starting place to look at my beliefs, values and expectations of myself and others. This book gives me a path to grow into real multicultural sensibility. Read a good book lately?

Author tells of racial awakening Book review by Sister Barbara Grant Waking Up White and Finding Myself in the Story of Race by Debby Irving Elephant Room Press, 2014 Justice update Critical Concerns and faithful citizenship U.S. elections provide a special—if challenging—opportunity to work on Mercy’s Critical Concerns. National security and immigration policies address our concerns for nonviolence and immigration; health care, tax policies and economic issues affect women, care of Earth, nonviolence, and anti-racism. Having grown up in the South during the years of Jim Crow and then the civil rights movement, it’s critical to me to be an advocate for racial justice. In Debby Irving’s book, I found myself in the “Story of Race.” As Pope Francis has noted, good public policy work is “charity writ big”: Good laws help a lot of people, including those most in need. The standard for weighing morality of public policy includes principles of Catholic Social Teaching with an overlay of the 10 Commandments. This opportunity to do a lot of good at once is not easy, but we’ve received many gifts, especially those of us born into a representative democracy. It’s up to us to use and/or protect those gifts for the benefit of all. Irving had to understand the beliefs, values and expectations of her own white culture before she Surviving elections Like it or not, the U.S. elections are less than September 15, 2016 | 3 two months away, on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Here are some tips from Sister Mary Schmuck, South Central’s associate director of justice, for getting through it all: • Hold on to the fact that we DO have moral guidance for our lives together in society. Remember Catholic Social Teaching principles and the 8th Commandment (“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor”). • Avoid using the word “you” in a tense conversation; it can feel like an attack and evoke defensiveness and veer from discussion of the issue. • Let others know they’re being heard, and accept valid points; issues are many-sided. • Claim one’s own experience: “However, I still struggle with …” • Acknowledge shared values, where common ground lives. • Pray for people who are skilled in getting on one’s nerves. We’re all made in God’s image, and we’re all God’s (often very interesting) friends.

Oh what joy even to think of it. Catherine McAuley Sister Maureen Ryan Religious Sister of Mercy December 17, 1934-September 3, 2016 S ister Maureen Ryan (formerly Sister Marie Patricia) was born in Chair, County Tipperary, Ireland—the fifth of Patrick and Alice Ryan’s nine children—but entered the Community in Jamaica, where she ministered for most of her life. Her younger brother, Martin, wrote in a family history: “Our parents were religious and caring, and taught all 9 children to be the same. Maureen’s first experience of showing mercy was when she was 9 years old. Dad had given all the children money to spend for the Christmas. A poor, old woman made her way along the garden path towards the house at 60, Griffith Place and Maureen placed all her money in the woman’s hands. From that early age, God, she felt, had implanted within her a genuine desire to become a Religious; to save her soul and the souls of others by caring for the needy.” Sister Maureen made her perpetual vows in August 1957 in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she also received a Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry from Our Lady of Cincinnati College. She also studied at St. Joseph Teachers College in Kingston, Jamaica. Among her ministries, Sister Maureen served as principal of Alpha Boys’ School (now Alpha Institute) and of Mount St. Joseph Prep School, both in Kingston. She also ministered at Morant Bay Primary School and St. John Bosco Boys’ Home and volunteered at the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen. Sister Maureen loved to sing and dance, and she gave much of her spare time to economically poor people who lived in her area and to the children she taught. She is remembered especially for her bright smile, enthusiasm and positive view of life, as well as her love for those in need. Sister Maureen had lived at the Claver Home in Kingston since October 2008. Funeral Mass: S eptember 10, 2016, Christ the King Chapel, Alpha, Kingston, Jamaica Interment: September 13, 2016, Dovecot Memorial Cemetery, Spanish Town, Jamaica Mercy order added to Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame Sisters recognized for founding and operating Arkansas schools and hospitals for 165 years By Aprille Hanson Associate Editor For the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas in Arkansas, mercy is not just a word, a pleasant way to describe an attitude. It has and always will be an action. “As a religious community mercy means we’re merciful, compassionate and reach out to others in need,” Sister Judith Marie Keith of Fort Smith told Arkansas Catholic. The Sisters of Mercy were honored for that mercy Aug. 25 as inductees into the Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame for their 165 years of serving the state. “For 165 years, hundreds of sisters have ministered all over the state of Arkansas to try to improve the quality of life of our citizens through education, through healthcare and through direct services to the poor and vulnerable,” Sister Judith Marie said while accepting the award. “There is one thing though that we all agree. That no matter how committed we were, no matter how hard we worked, that without the support of the people, without the advice of the people, without the love of the people of Arkansas, our efforts would have been null and void.” Short video presentations were shown for each honoree, detailing their legacy. While the Hall of Fame does not now have a physical location, a display and the videos can soon be seen at the Old State House Museum in Little Rock where they will remain until Oct. 2. “You will see the video and can’t help but be impressed,” Nan Snow, Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame board chairman, told Arkansas Catholic. “In a very quiet, unassuming way, they integrated in the state and local communities.” Inspiring women The Hall of Fame, formed by the North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce and Arkansas Business Publishing Group, allows the public to submit nominations of women who have changed history in Arkansas. Selection is based on several factors including if the woman or group of women have opened new frontiers for women in society. Its first induction class in 2015 included Hillary Rodham Clinton, Daisy Gatson Bates and the Women’s Emergency Aprille Hanson Sisters of Mercy attending the Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony Aug. 25 in Little Rock include Sister Noelene Banks (back row, left), Sister Cheryl Quave, Sister Deborah Troillett, Sister Mary Ann Hardcastle, Sister Carol Anne Corley, Sister Judith Marie Keith, Sister Jolitta Konecny, Sister Richard Mary Burke, Sister Lisa Atkins, Sister Anita Marie DeSalvo, Sister Rebecca Ann Hendricks and Sister Mary Dorothy Calhoun; Sister Chabanel Finnegan (front row, left), Sister Elizabeth Koehler, Sister Rita May Killian, Sister Elisa Bauman, Sister Teresa Kelone and Sister Lucille Sluyter. Committee to Open Our Schools. In addition to the sisters, this year’s inductees were: n Kay Kelley Arnold n Dr. Bettye Caldwell n Cathy Cunningham n Dr. M. Joycelyn Elders n Dr. Betty Ann Lowe n Lottie Hold Shackelford n Pattie Upton n Pat Walker Snow said because there are so many potential honorees, the religious community being chosen the second year of awards is special. Since arriving in Arkansas in 1851, the Sisters of Mercy have established schools, hospitals and direct services to the poor in cities including Little Rock, Fort Smith, Helena, Rogers and Hot Springs. Their legacy includes: n Founding Mount St. Mary Academy for girls in 1851, the oldest continuous high school in the state; the sisters also helped found or guide several other parochial schools throughout the years. n Opening seven hospitals and a nursing home facility n Establishing direct services to the homeless, Hispanics and others. While some communities may not AS SEEN IN ARKANSAS CATHOLIC, September 10, 2016 agree with the Church as a whole, often the kindness of the sisters is the driving force of bridging that gap. Sister Judith Marie shared during her acceptance speech the story of a man in El Dorado who had once said, “I won’t give those damn Catholics a dime. But you see this shirt? I’d give this shirt off my back for those sisters.” “Mercy to them means we reach out where there’s need regardless of age or religion,” she said. Gov. Asa Hutchinson spoke shortly about each of the inductees, saying “we appreciate the Sisters of Mercy and how they have demonstrated faith and charitable activities and have had such an incredible impact on my family and the community and the state of Arkansas.” His wife Susan added, “I must comment on how the Sisters of Mercy has touched our life and that our youngest was born at St. Edward’s Mercy Medical Hospital with Sister Judith Marie in charge, so thank you sister.” Building a legacy In 1831, Catherine McAuley, a wealthy heiress, officially founded the Sisters of Mercy in Ireland to aid the poor. According See Hall of Fame, next page arkansas-catholic.org / 501-664-0125 Hall of Fame has always been “a school that prepares women” to find their place in a working society. Continued from previous page to sistersofmercy.org, Sister Catherine spent her inheritance to open the first House of Mercy, a place of education and shelter for women in Dublin in 1827. The religious order grew throughout Ireland and England. “There’s an analogy between what she did and what we’re trying to do — a response to need,” Sister Judith Marie said. She said the sisters were the first women religious to venture into what was then a frontier state in 1851. But their commitments have never wavered. During the Civil War, the women treated both Union and Confederate soldiers. At Mercy Hospitals, the focus is not only on mercy, but excellence, Sister Judith Marie said. Those same values have also lasted at Mount St. Mary Academy. Sister Deborah Troillett, who serves as a councilor of a five-member Institute Leadership Team for the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas in Silver Spring, Md., returned to Little Rock for the induction. Sister Deborah is a former principal and president of Mount St. Mary Academy. “It’s such an opportunity to reflect on the legacy and courage” of the original sisters, she said. “We stand on their shoulders … We’re so blessed to be able to continue” the work at the Mount. “In the Year of Mercy to have the Sisters Aprille Hanson The Sisters of Mercy received a statue denoting their induction into the Arkansas Women’s Hall of Fame. of Mercy receive this honor, it gives me chills,” Sister Deborah added. Sister Jolitta Konecny, a graduate and former assistant principal, said MSM AS SEEN IN ARKANSAS CATHOLIC, September 10, 2016 A ‘vibrant’ order In recent years, the Sisters of Mercy have taken their calling even deeper into pastoral care, including outreach to the parishes, housing ministry and outreach to the Hispanic community, teaching children how to read English, Sister Judith Marie said. Sister Lisa Atkins, of Rogers, who along with others in the community helped found the 8th Street Motel Ministry in Rogers which aids the homeless, said the spirit of the ministry is building off of the foundation that founder Venerable Mother Catherine McAuley wanted for the Sisters of Mercy — to help the poor. “We’re building relationships one meal at a time, one family at a time,” Sister Lisa said. “… It opens up a trusting relationship. Right away, they know I’m not going to judge them.” The induction not only celebrates the legacy of the Sisters of Mercy, but the work they continue to do today which will hopefully inspire other women to consider vocations, Sister Rebecca Hendricks said. “They see we’re vibrant. We’re not just in the chapel praying all the time but that’s important,” Sister Rebecca said, adding that the sister’s main priority is to address “the needs of those in the state.” arkansas-catholic.org / 501-664-0125 October 2016 Mercy Prayer Calendar Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 1 St Thérèse of the Child Jesus We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness.
