Flame
Includes 2015 Annual Report
The congregation of the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin
Mary was founded in 1775 by a wealthy Irish woman, Nano Nagle, who
redirected her fortune and life to meet the needs of the poor. Nano
devoted her days to educating Irish children, risking imprisonment by
founding schools at which children could receive a Catholic education.
At night, she became known as the “lady with the lantern” for traversing the city of Cork to minister to the elderly, sick and imprisoned.
At the time of Nano Nagle’s death, only four sisters remained to
continue her work. Today, there are more than 2,500 Sisters of the
Presentation in communities around the world. These women have
dedicated their lives to bringing the Gospel to the poor and oppressed.
In her spirit, the Sisters reach out to the people of God through prayer
and ministry.
Presentation communities were founded in Fitchburg, Massachusetts,
and Newburgh, New York, in the late 1800’s to educate the children of
poor immigrants. In the 1990’s the two congregations entered into a
period of prayer and study to determine the possibility of uniting as one
congregation and in 1997 these two congregations became one.
This present congregation numbers 112 women who minister as
educators, administrators, medical personnel, retreat directors,
pastoral associates and social workers. They are motivated by the
Gospel to bring hope, justice and human dignity to all they encounter.
Mission Statement
Background and History
We, the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, inspired by our foundress, Nano Nagle,
commit ourselves to the Gospel values of hope,
justice, freedom and human dignity. In union with
one another, we pledge ourselves to act for and with
the oppressed of the world, and to care for the earth.

April 2016
Dear Friends,
In inaugurating this Holy Year of Mercy, Pope Francis opened the doors to
St. Peter’s Basilica on December 8th. However, he also opened other holy
doors, such as at the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome and the Bangui
Cathedral in Central African Republic.
An important symbolic act performed by Holy Year pilgrims is to pass
through a holy door. At the beginning of Lent, I recalled for our sisters and
associates that if we are to imitate Christ, then each of us must be a door
through which God’s mercy, compassion and love flow. I also recalled that
we must also receive God’s mercy from others. I invited each of us, as we
place our hand on the handle of any door, to keep before us the image of
entering a “door of mercy” where we bring mercy to those inside and also
receive their mercy.
As Sisters and of the Presentation, we try to enter the holy doors of mercy
through our ministries to the poor and powerless, especially women and
children, and by consciously performing the spiritual and corporal works of
mercy.
As I review the names of our donors in this report, I am conscious that your
holy hands join ours in opening any doors of mercy to meet the needs of
others. And it is also your mercy we receive on the other side of those holy
doors. As our sisters age out of ministries where they receive compensation
and continue volunteering and participating in our ministry of prayer, we
rely more and more on your generosity and mercy. For this we are deeply
grateful.
One of the spiritual works of mercy is “to pray for the living and the dead.”
As we rejoice in the continued celebration of this Easter season, we pray
that you and your loved ones receive all of God’s blessings of mercy. We
also pray that all your deceased loved ones may be experiencing the fullness
of joy in the Risen Jesus. God bless you always!
Gratefully,
Sr. Patricia Anastasio, PBVM
President

In celebration of the “Year of Consecrated Life”, as proclaimed by Pope Francis, the congregation was happy to
have an Open House on Sunday, February 8th. Sisters in Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey opened their
homes and hearts to family, colleagues, students and neighbors in an opportunity to share their mission and who
they are.
Sr. Yliana Hernández was pleased to be the recipient of the 2015 Caritas Award. The Caritas Award is presented by
Catholic Charities Community Services of Orange County each year to members of the community who exemplify the nonprofit human service agency’s mission to provide help and create hope. The awards were presented at Catholic Charities’ 9th
Annual Celebration of Charity dinner on Thursday, March 26, 2015 at Anthony’s Pier 9 in Newburgh, New York.
On May 2nd, the “Distinguished Bernardian” Award was presented to Sr. Irene Goguen from St. Bernard’s Alumni
Association for her years of service to the community, especially her 24 years of teaching at St. Bernard’s Elementary
School in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Also on May 2nd, the Sisters in Leominster, Massachusetts held a “Thank You
Gathering” for friends and supporters. The Sisters were happy to welcome friends, both old and new.
On May 8th, Sr. Paula Cormier was proud to be one of the recipients of the Spirit of Cleghorn Award given by The
United Neighbors of Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Sr. Paula has been involved at CNC (Cleghorn Neighborhood Center)
for the past 5 years and is very dedicated to her ESL students and immigration issues - having lobbied in Boston, led
and assisted with several immigration prayer services and events at St. Joseph's Parish.
The congregation’s Leadership Team, Sr. Patricia Anastasio, president, Sr. Martha Otterstedt, vice president, Sr.
Mary Byrnes, councilor and Sr. Barbara King, councilor were re-elected to lead the congregation for another six
years. Their installation ceremony and celebration was held on May 24th.
Sr. Christine Liegey received the Vivere Christus Award on June 14th in acknowledgement of the value and importance of the laity and to express gratitude and appreciation to those who unselfishly give themselves for the building up
of God’s Kingdom.
The Sisters were excited to offer the following new programs: “If I Could be of Service” a year long service program
which begins mid August and ends in June, “Young Adult-College Week”, “Serving with the Sisters – Summer
Service Week” and “Family Service Day.” These programs offer an opportunity to "spend yourself for the poor" in the
spirit of our foundress Nano Nagle and the sisters that have followed in her footsteps for many centuries. More information can be found at ww.sistersofthepresentation.org
Sr. Mary T. Naccarato made Profession of Perpetual Vows as a Sister of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary at
St. Catherine Laboure Church in Lake Katrine, New York on October 3rd. Rev. John Kearney was the presider at the
liturgy, and Rev. Fred Nickle, OFM, Cap. and St. Catherine’s Pastor Rev. Slavomir Ciszkowski, concelebrants. Present
at the liturgy were family, friends and other Presentation Sisters.
The Presentation Sisters were honored on October 18th for their 80+ years of service at Holy Rosary Parish in
Bronx, New York. A group of Sisters who had served at some time during those years attended the dinner and
accepted the award.
On Friday, November 13th, the Sisters in New Windsor, New York held a “Giving Thanks” Friendraiser. It was an
evening to talk about the Sisters’ mission, have some dessert, coffee and friendly conversation.
Sr. Mary Barbara Hobbs held her 2nd Annual Black Friday Craft Sale at Presentation Convent, Leominster, Massachusetts, on Friday, November 27th. Proceeds from the sale benefited Nano’s Nook, a weekly service of hospitality (conversation, coffee, pastry, fruit) for those who come to the free clothes closet of St. Joseph Parish on
Saturdays.

My Ministry
For 55 years my ministry has been cultivating and amassing many fine pearls: God’s
little children! I am daily nourished, fed, gifted, loved and blessed through teaching
these little ones. For me, this is heaven on earth! No day goes by that I don’t live out
Jesus’ words, “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me.” Also,
“Of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Oh, there is no greater treasure!
Day after day, I look forward to spending my time teaching these little angels. They
are so eager to hear the Good News of Jesus. They, in turn, carry this Good News
home to their parents. How rewarding when parents relate to me how they have begun praying with their child, or realize the need to return to the Church! These little
children may be small pearls, but like the mustard seed, they can bear much fruit!
Hopefully, someday they will scatter the Good News of Jesus far and wide!
The message of Jesus to love one another is carried out and lived out by their willingness to share, care, help and forgive one another. Oh, if we could all have the heart,
love, joy and trust of a child, what a wonderful, peaceful and beautiful world we would live in! “Let the little children
come to me and do not send them away!”
- Sr. Irene Goguen , Kindergarten Teacher, St. Bernard’s Elementary School, Fitchburg, Massachusetts
My ministry began in February of 2006. It was quite a change to be working totally
in an office without a pastoral dimension to my ministry. However, I am grateful to
have a parish ministry that helps my community.
I was very warmly welcomed and receive wonderful support. I am not a computer
whiz, but I have learned the programs that I need to carry out my responsibilities.
The ever patient business manager is always willing and ready to help me out of
any difficulties I find myself in. I also have had, and continue to have, a woman
who volunteers to help me proofread the bulletin, and supports me in many other
ways.
I have learned that I do pastoral ministry - sometimes over the phone - sometimes
when people come to the office. I just have to learn to keep my eyes and ears open
to the many times God comes into my life through these wonderful people who minister to me and to whom I minister. I have also been blessed to work with two very kind and thoughtful pastors. I am so grateful to be able to be
active and continue to minister with God's people.
--Sr. Mary LeBlanc, PBVM, Administrative Assistant, St. Christopher Parish,Worcester, Massachusetts
It has been my privilege to represent the Congregation in direct service to the poor
at Newburgh Ministry, an outreach center and shelter. The Ministry is situated in
one of the poorest tracts of NY State, and Newburgh has been designated the
fourth most depressed city in the nation. I think of it as “Nagle territory.”
I work alongside many wonderful volunteers. Realizing that some of our people
don’t want to be helped and others can’t be helped, the challenge we face is to offer
each a compassionate presence, a non-judgmental service and the hope that
transformation is possible.
In a ministry begun by women religious, Sr. Mary O’Neill and I, along with
Sr. Grace Gately, are the only Sisters presently on staff. Although many don’t fully
realize what “Sister” means (a frequent question is how many children I have; now
grandchildren), I daily witness a beautiful trust, openness and respect our guests
have for us. They seem to know instinctively that we are there to serve them.
Knowing the congregation partially subsidizes this ministry, and realizing the sacrifice involved, I am deeply
grateful to each member of the congregation for the privilege of being able to offer hope.
- Sr. Norma Carney, Newburgh Ministry, Newburgh, New York

A donor may make a gift to the Sisters of the Presentation effective during this lifetime or after death. A donor may direct the benefit
of the gift to one or more of the Sisters’ ministries. Some donors prefer their gifts be used at the discretion of the Sisters, thereby providing support for the greatest needs within the congregation.
After you have considered the needs of your family, you may want to consider a bequest in your will to the Sisters of the Presentation.
The satisfaction of knowing that your support of our Sisters can continue in perpetuity can be easily accomplished. Listed below are
four popular ways of making such a bequest.
Residue refers to whatever is left after other bequests have been granted. To leave such a bequest simply state “The residue of my estate, including real and personal property, I give, devise and bequeath to the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary of
New Windsor, New York.”
To leave a percentage of your estate, state, “I give, devise and bequeath to the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
of New Windsor, New York, ______% of my estate.”
To leave a specific dollar amount, state, “I give, devise and bequeath to the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary of
New Windsor, New York, $____________________.
To leave a particular piece of property, state, “I give, devise and bequeath to the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
of New Windsor, New York, (DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY), located at (EXACT LOCATION).”
We have a beautiful assortment of greeting cards that will enroll
the recipient in the Prayer Association for a variety of occasions:
Get Well, Sympathy, Happy Birthday, Special Occasion, Thinking of You, etc. With enrollment, they will be remembered in two
Masses each month and in the prayers, sacrifices and good works
of the Presentation Sisters for a year. The kind donations received
from this program help support our retired Sisters.
For prayer cards from the New Windsor Administration Center,
please call Sr. Hannah Marie Cox (with Sr. Mary Andre Murphy

Former Members’ Day
New York - Saturday, April 30th, 2016
11:00am
Mount St. Joseph, 84 Presentation Way, New Windsor, NY
Greetings from Mount St. Joseph. We hope this letter finds you in joyful spirits and good health. We’ve now spent eight years living in the “Seventh Field”,
with our entrance off Jackson Avenue. Perhaps you have never visited us
here. We’d like to show you around; but most of all we’d love to see you and
continue our friendship. You are always welcome to visit, but especially on
Saturday, April 30, we hope you will come. We’d like it to be a day of reconnecting with many friends from the past.
It took us several years to sell the front of the property, but that is now
accomplished. A Christian group has moved in and so we no longer have access to any of the buildings, the lake or the pool. We built smaller units in the
seventh field, and the sixth field provides vistas of deer and wild turkeys. We
also paved a road through the woods to the cemetery and reoriented the cemetery entrance from the old one near the lake. Yes, Hank is still our caretaker
and his house is part of the new complex. Come and see. Though our address
is “Presentation Way”, you enter that road from Jackson Ave., about a half
mile beyond the former entrance near the barn. The general plan
for the day is:
Arrival: Beginning at 11 o’clock.
Brunch will be available in the Administration building
(the first one you meet at the top of the hill).
Reconnection, conversation and touring according to your desires.
4 pm: Mass of the Sunday for those who might like.
Come one, come all. We really would love to see you.
Love, Your Presentation Sisters
