ANNUAL IHM NUN RUN

Sprint in the Spirit

Fall 2016 • Volume 15, No. 3 • Office of Mission Advancement

Dear Friends and Benefactors of our IHM Sisters,

The sixth chapter of St. Luke’s gospel is a very rich source of inspiration for all of us who are attempting to live a Christian life. It contains the Sermon on the Mount, Christ’s powerful challenge to us to recognize that our reward truly will be in our next life with Him. It also includes a meditation on love and on mercy. One verse is an exceptionally powerful message: “Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be poured into your lap. For the measure you use will be the measure you receive.” What greater return can we ask for all those who so generously supported our Congregation this year?

large and small, given from the heart, allow us to continue our ministries and to care for our sisters at Camilla Hall. What inspires this great generosity? Many of you have been positively affected, at some time in your life, by an IHM sister. You may have met her in elementary school, in high school or in your parish. You may have worked with her or been taught by her. Regardless of where or when, her ministry touched your life. In small ways, we IHMs were able to “give” as St. Luke exhorts. In response, we have received from you “good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over.” The cycle does not end with our gift to you and yours to us. It continues on a deeper level of giving which is the Congregation’s prayers for you, especially the prayers of our retired sisters at Camilla Hall. We truly believe these prayers are powerful. We offer them lovingly and daily for each of you, our donors, and hope that you, in turn, will pray for us.

Seeing the lists of thousands of donors who have supported us, not only this year, but over many years, fills my heart with gratitude. Your monetary gifts, both

Gratefully,

IHM Sisters – On Mission

Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Time to Say Goodbye! Dear IHM Friends, As Sister Carolyn and I present this 2015-2016 Donor Report to you, our hearts overflow with gratitude, appreciation and love. You definitely “Keep the IHM Heart beating!” You are also a blessing to each IHM sister in the community. Your gifts compassionately support our sisters at Camilla, faithfully strengthen our IHM ministries, and lovingly bear witness to our IHM charism. It is difficult to think of an adequate way to express our gratitude to you for your goodness and generosity. Hopefully, our prayers for you, your families and your intentions will passionately transmit the gratitude we feel for the gift you are to us. Each of you is cherished in our hearts and remembered in our prayers. At this time, I would like to share with you the fact that I will be leaving the IHM Mission Advancement Office and eventually transitioning to a new ministry. I have been greatly blessed during my fifteen years in this ministry. In 2001, when Sister Rosemarie DeCarlo, our General Superior at that time, requested that I initiate a Mission Advancement Office for the community, I could never have foreseen the wonderful work that we would have been able to accomplish purely through our relationships and friendships with all of you. I cannot express how much I have enjoyed meeting you through the many events that we have shared through the years: our Mass and Brunch Socials, Camilla Hall’s 50th Anniversary Dinner and Show, the Socials and Thank You receptions after the Campaign for Camilla Hall as well as tours of Camilla and the Motherhouse. I have loved reading the letters that many of you wrote about the wonderful sisters who taught you and sharing these letters with your teachers if they were still with us. Your words delighted their hearts and lifted their spirits and also inspired me in appreciating the awesome, dedicated sisters who preceded us in this IHM community. I have enjoyed our many telephone conversations and the notes you have shared about your families. My life has been so enriched by you that it is little wonder that I move on so reluctantly. This is a very bittersweet moment for me. I am sad to leave behind all of the many wonderful relationships I have developed with so many of you throughout those years. However, after serving in this ministry for fifteen years, it is time for some new talent, creativity, and imagination to continue the heartwarming work here. The good news is that Sister Jeannine Mary Norton, who will be the new director of the Mission Advancement Office, is a warm, friendly, competent professional. I am confident that she will work hard to get to know you and to continue the wonderful ministry here so lovingly nurtured through the years by the Mission Advancement team. Sister is already onboard familiarizing herself with her new responsibilities and, most important, “Getting to Know You.” I plan, for a time, to remain in the office to support Sister Jeannine as she adjusts to life in Mission Advancement. Pope Francis has said, “We are afraid of God’s surprises. Newness often makes us fearful.” He also reminds us, though, that no matter where we are going, “God is always ahead of us.” I will remember this as I move on; I am sure Sister Jeannine will as well. Please pray for both of us as we embrace the surprises God has in store for us. With gratitude, love and prayers,

Sister Joan Rychalsky, IHM

We Welcome

Sister Jeannine Mary Norton, who is assuming

leadership of the Mission Advancement Team, is a proud graduate of Transfiguration School in Philadelphia, St. Hubert High School, Immaculata University and Villanova University. Her interesting career path and rich, diverse experiences uniquely qualify her for this challenging and vital role in the Mission Advancement Office. After teaching in elementary schools for over twenty years in five states, Sister Jeannine assumed a leadership position as principal, first in St. James, Savannah, later at St. Joan of Arc, Philadelphia, and most recently, SS. Simon and Jude, West Chester. She also served as Assistant Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese of Savannah, Georgia. These leadership positions, along with her few years of development ministry at Holy Innocents School, Philadelphia, assure that her transition to this office will be a smooth one. But most significant to her success in this position will be her warm and open manner. She has loved her life of ministry with the people of God and looks forward to continuing to get to know even more of you through her work in the Advancement Office. She realizes that, in this role, she will have an opportunity to meet the many men and women who have known and loved the IHMs and who have supported their ministries and our sisters at Camilla Hall both with prayers and financial donations. She looks forward to putting faces with names and continuing the personal and caring relationships that Sister Joan, her

predecessor, has developed. The Mission Advancement team is delighted to have Sister Jeannine involved in this noble task. With her gracious and friendly personality, wealth of educational and leadership experiences and various development skills, she will certainly be a great asset to this office.

Sister Jeannine writes: “As newly-appointed Advancement Director, I am honored to have been asked to serve my community to whom I owe so much. I am humbled to learn from Sister Joan and her team who have created and expanded this office and its ministry. While the financial support they receive from generous hearts, like yours, is appreciated and celebrated, they have highlighted even more the opportunity to share old memories and create new ones strengthening the IHM family with bonds that cannot be calculated in numbers but are treasures which ‘no moth or rust can destroy or thieves take.’ (Matthew 6:19) Thank you for welcoming me into the expanded and ever expanding IHM community of hearts joined with Jesus and Mary for God’s people.”

ON OUR

DONORS

Our connection with the IHM sisters began with my 12 years at Saint Patrick’s Parish School, not far from the IHM Motherhouse in Monroe, Michigan. As a student at Siena Heights College - Dominican Sisters of Adrian Michigan-and on a trip to South Bend senior year, I met Bill Bauer (ND ’65; Malvern Prep ‘61) from Saint Mary’s, PA. We married in 1968 and after seven moves – three returning to PA - settled permanently in Malvern in 1984. Along the way we happily welcomed George, Vincent, and Amanda and hoped to give them the same strong Catholic education our parents afforded us, beginning with Immaculata’s Early Learning Center then on to SS. Philip and James School. Amanda found room at Villa Maria Academy for grades 4—12 and her brothers at Malvern Prep. Like Bill during his boarding school days, our sons were never far from the IHM influence! I reconnected with the IHM community as well, initially while a student in Immaculata’s PA Instructional Certification Program. In September 1987, I began a 27 year career as a mathematics faculty member at Villa Maria Academy High School. Through the years, the IHM sisters have been not just colleagues but among our dearest friends. Their physical and spiritual presence has supported us. We are grateful for the opportunity to support all the IHM ministries and most especially, the mission at Camilla Hall.

IHM Sisters – On Mission

Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

In 1985, Larry and Joanne Schott and their family planned a trip from Los Altos, CA to the East Coast. Tops on the list was a visit to Immaculata. Since Susan, our oldest, started 1st grade at St. Simon School in 1970 (and the remaining six followed her), the IHM sisters have been a significant part of our lives. A special part of that trip was our visit to Joanne & Larry Schott and their seven children visiting S. Julia Ann Immaculata and the on their Immaculata, PA trip in 1985. pleasure of seeing many of the IHM sisters who had taught our children as well as to meet S. Janet Mary who was coming that fall to teach our youngest, the twins Brian & Jennifer. In 1996 our daughter, Julie, returned to St. Simon School to teach Kindergarten and currently five of our grandchildren attend St. Simon School. I have enjoyed my ongoing connection with the school as did Larry, until his death in 2005. In the early days, when the sisters spent their summers here, we enjoyed occasional visits to baseball games at Candlestick Park and seeing the friendly rivalry between the Philly and the Giant fans. We are currently celebrating the 60th anniversary of our parish and are sharing long-time memories which always include the role of the IHMs and the centerpiece that our school has been in our parish community. We do miss the presence of the sisters in our parish and school but their influence lives on through long-standing traditions that they established while at St. Simon. This spring, I attended the May Procession, one such event. When we remodeled our church, the newlycreated Eucharistic chapel was dedicated to the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary who have served here at St. Simon, each of whom have a special place in our memory. We look forward to any time our paths might cross with the IHM sisters, wherever and whenever that may be.

It is my pleasure and privilege to support the IHM community and their many ministries. I have worked with the community on the elementary, secondary and college level of education and have always been impressed by their hospitality, love of the Church, and their ability to make everyone they meet seem special. I was born and baptized in Blessed Virgin Mary Parish in Darby, PA, and my aunt by marriage was Sister Mary St. James Dempsey. In fact, my mother was thinking about becoming an IHM, and then she met my father and that all changed. The sisters I met while I was in high school as a student provided me with an excellent education and laid the groundwork for me to enter the field of education. I have enjoyed working with the sisters on the pastoral and educational levels. I am particularly grateful to the sisters at Camilla Hall for their prayers for each of us. I have been truly blessed to have known and worked with so many sisters that it would be difficult to single just one out of so many good friends. Thank you for your faithfulness and love of the Priesthood and the entire people of God.

IHM Sisters – On Mission

Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

We have a life-long relationship with the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary since we both had IHM aunts. Sister Mary Angela is my aunt, and Tom’s aunts are Sister Maria Matthew and Sister Catherine Marie (both now deceased). Our aunts inspired all of our family members with their love of God and their faith-filled lives. Their continuous prayers for each of us have sustained us on this journey of life. We have a good friend also in Sister Patrizia O’Connor. Tom attended Incarnation School and remembers fondly several instances throughout grade school years that have influenced his life and made him the Christian he is today. The sisters instilled a sense of confidence, spirituality and caring. We remain impressed with the sisters’ love of God and their ability to love life with minimal “things.” Sister Claire Maureen taught him in 5th grade and then later in life we ran into her when she was teaching our children at Archbishop Wood High School. It was a happy reunion. I recall Sister Miriam DeSales who started a Nursing Club at Cardinal Dougherty High School which was perfect since that was my chosen career. For me, the sisters instilled a love of the Catholic Church and exemplified the moral values we continue to hold dear to our hearts. We want to thank all of the sisters for their prayers, example and influence in our lives.

I'm often surprised by all the small ways the Sisters of IHM have influenced my life. Recently while driving unfamiliar, upstate roads on a foggy pre-dawn morning I wondered if I would see the road signs and find my turns. I found myself praying, "Our Lady of the Highway be with us on our journey, for all your ways are beautiful, and all your paths are peace," a prayer last prayed from the third row, rear facing seat of a station wagon intrepidly piloted by Sister M. St. Irminus as we set out for our Lancaster Catholic High School debate meet. If she could do it with six chattering teenagers in the car, I surely could as well. I was encouraged IHM style by a 40+ year old memory. Passing through McAdoo, I admired the oniondomed Orthodox church and thought of the IHMs who served the rural and mining communities by bringing their firm foundation in the Faith and a quality education to the children and grandchildren of hardworking immigrants. I'm certain it was not easy for some of the sisters accustomed to a more metropolitan lifestyle. The sisters’ readiness to respond out of love for God and his people continually amazes me. I feel great joy for the tiny way my donations help secure the members of "the long blue line" in their well-deserved retirement. The IHM community is remembered in my estate, along with the prayer that the "blue line" will run through generations to come: "To evangelize, to catechize, and to teach."

IHM Sisters – On Mission

Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

My connection with the IHM community began in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School in Bridgeport, PA and continued at Bishop Kenrick High School. It was not until my first year as a teacher, however, that I met Sister Mary Grace Fertal. As our families grew closer and our friendship grew stronger, I would call Sister Grace to ask the sisters at Camilla Hall for prayers. In 2010, I had the honor of attending Sister Mary Grace’s Golden Jubilee at Camilla. It was there that I met S. Regina Cecilia Shovlin and cultivated a close friendship with her, too. When I retired in 2011, I became a regular visitor to Camilla. I would attend Mass with Sister Mary Grace and then visit with Sister Regina afterwards. I visited Sister Regina often until her passing in April, 2015. It was during those visits with Sister Regina that I witnessed the compassionate care that she received. I experienced how visitors are made to feel welcomed and valued. Most especially, I observed and felt the power of the sisters’ prayers. I am grateful for my two wonderful IHM friends and for the many other friendships I have made in my many visits over the years. Each of these sisters has helped me to experience, first hand, this “Powerhouse of Prayer” known as Camilla Hall!

VILLA MARIA HOUSE OF STUDIES SPOTLIGHTS SISTER JOHN EVELYN DITROLIO

Sister John Evelyn grew up, the second of nine children, in Sacred Heart Parish in Havertown, PA. The parish was like a second home! The school was the heart of the parish, and Sister John’s parents were very involved in both school and parish activities. The IHMs staffed the school, and Sister credits the seeds of her vocation to the joyful witness and selfless service of the sisters that she met in her early years. She recalls that they had “a passionate love for God’s people, and their joy was electrifying.” After elementary school, Sister John attended Cardinal O’Hara High School and then worked one year at First Pennsylvania Bank before entering the Congregation. Sister John spent many years teaching in IHM schools, but she has twice performed ministries at the Villa Maria House of Studies. For eleven years, she served as the Directress of Novices, and presently, she is serving on the Leadership Team for the Congregation. The greatest gift, Sister John attests, in working in Congregational Administration is the ability to get to know the sisters and to serve their needs. She is both edified and humbled by the passionate hearts of the sisters! Their untiring, selfless service in attending to the needs of God’s people never ceases to amaze her. Sister John also counts, as another gift of her ministry, the opportunity to visit IHM schools and Congregational ministries where she has the opportunity to witness love in action.

SISTER PATRICIA DAILEY

Sister Patricia grew up in Runnemede New Jersey along with her two brothers. She attended St. Teresa Elementary School. She recalls the creativity of her first grade teacher, Sister Thomas Bernard (now Sister Teresa Volpe), while teaching a class numbering 112 students. Despite the class size, Sister instilled in Patricia a passion for reading that has lasted a lifetime and for which she is exceedingly grateful. Sister Patricia is also deeply grateful for the profound influence of those IHMs who taught her in her formative years. Even as a girl, she knew there was “something” in the sisters (for which she had no word at the time but which she now knows was charism, a living expression of God’s grace) that captured her and inspired her to “cast [her] lot” with the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the rest of her life. Sister’s current assignment has everything to do with the IHM Spiritual Heritage, encompassing IHM history, mission, spirituality, and charism. Fourteen years ago, she was asked to immerse herself in the IHM spiritual legacy and to share it with the Congregation and beyond. Sister Patricia believes that she was prepared for this ministry during the ten years she worked with Sister Marie Angela. Sister says, “It was through Sister Marie Angela’ s life and mentoring that I came to know and appreciate the depth of our Alphonsian spirituality and the singular gift of our charism of love, creative hope and fidelity.” One of Sister Patricia’s recent joys was the visit of Pope Francis to Philadelphia. While not seated close to the Pope at the Papal Mass at the Cathedral, she was delighted just to be in his presence while he was right here in “our own back yard.” Sister also enjoys her daily early morning rosary walks when the world seems “charged by the grandeur of God.”

JEMMIE STAEHLE

Jemmie has worked at Villa Maria House of Studies for thirteen years. She and her fellow staff members see themselves as an extension of IHM Hospitality. They provide, plan, and produce the meals at VMHS. This involves feeding daily the almost 50 sisters who reside at VMHS, but it also involves producing meals for the many events, retreats, etc. that take place in the Motherhouse as well as supplying meals for Community Meetings (sometimes with several hundred participants!). When she is not working, Jemmie most enjoys being a Mom and spending time with her children, Colin and Evie. She also enjoys gardening and growing both flowers and vegetables. She has recently developed an interest in fossil and shark tooth hunting on

the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Jemmie has an extremely important role at VMHS, and she and her co-workers are greatly appreciated for the quality of the meals they provide.

SISTER ROSE BERNADETTE MULLIGAN

Sister Rose Bernadette states, “I love my vocation and am grateful for the example of the sisters who inspired me.” This inspiration began in Jim Thorpe, PA where sister grew up, the oldest of five girls. She met the IHMs at a young age as she attended Immaculate Conception Elementary School, Marian High School and then Immaculata University, all of which were staffed by IHMs. Sister has been in her present ministry, Vocation Directress, since 2007. She lives at VMHS in the Formation Community which is comprised of novices, postulants and professed sisters. Her position, however, requires her to be on the road a great deal. She considers her role to be a “sacred privilege” as she is able to meet young women and share her vocation and to support them while they are discerning their own callings. She thoroughly enjoys meeting new people at the many events she attends and through college and school visits. Working in Vocation Ministry, Sister Rose has learned the importance of social media and shares some of the IHM life and charism through that media. When Sister Rose has the time, she loves music, walking, or reading anything related to technology. She has a background in chemistry, so to keep her hand in it, she enjoys reading on topics she can then use for Theology on Tap or young adult presentations, for example the forensic science investigations of the Shroud of Turin, or the friendship between faith and reason. Sister also enjoys swimming and takes advantage of the pool at VMHS as often as possible. Sister realizes that each person’s life is a “discernment journey,” and she is honored to represent the IHMs as she shares this journey with the young women she meets.

SISTER MARY DEE ELLIS

Sister Mary Dee grew up in Martinsville, NJ, the fourth child of seven. She attended Immaculate Conception Elementary School and Immaculata High School in Somerville, NJ. She then went on to Notre Dame of Maryland University, majoring in Biology and minoring in music before entering the IHMs. When musing on her ministry, Sister Mary Dee calls her twelve years in South America a “pure gift.” She particularly enjoyed her five years in Curacavi, Chile. While there, she lived in a small convent for three sisters which shared the property with a K-8 school and an active chapel that belonged to the parish. It was possible to teach full time in school, participate in the sacramental and pastoral activities of the chapel and assist with communion calls to the sick and elderly. The school community was small and the town was walk-able, so the sisters frequently did home visitations since they knew all of the families. The wonderful community life gave the sisters the energy for the mission. Presently, Sister Mary Dee is serving as Novice Directress at VMHS. The experiences that she had both in ministry and in community life have enriched her and given her much to share with the young women in formation. In her free time, Sister loves to swim! She also enjoys catching up with friends, doing anything music -related and spending time with her parents, siblings, nieces and nephews.

SISTER MIRIAM BARBARA BERKOWITZ

Sister Miriam Barbara attended three elementary schools in the Philadelphia Area, finally settling in St. Veronica Parish. From there, she went on to Little Flower High School before entering the IHMs. Today, Sister works at the Villa Maria House of Studies where she oversees the Accounts Payable Department. In this position, she has many responsibilities which include writing and mailing all community checks after the Treasurer codes them, assisting with the coding of Payroll Forms, calculating Tax Forms and managing special mailings. Sister’s careful attention to all of her duties makes this very critical department run smoothly. When she is not busy with numbers and calculations, Sister enjoys working on Jigsaw Puzzles. She also enjoys being present to her family whenever possible. As she becomes aware of what is happening in the family, she reaches out to them. Her sisters and she share their wisdom and experiences with all the children hoping to guide them to develop the best in themselves and to be faithful to God.

SUSAN DOHERTY

Susan Doherty has been employed at the Villa Maria House of Studies for the past 15 years. She works in the Finance Office, assisting the treasurer, acting as payroll manager, and overseeing the cash receivables. Although she calls herself a “Jack of All Trades and Master of None,” all of the employees who regularly receive their paychecks would undoubtedly argue with the latter assessment. Susan grew up in Coatesville, PA where she attended public school and was raised Baptist. Presently, she is married to a “great guy,” Pastor Brian J. Doherty, who is the Youth Pastor at the Oxford Church of the Nazarene. Brian and Susan have two wonderful children, Amanda who is 20 and who attends Olivet Nazarene University in Illinois and Christopher who is starting 8th grade at the Avon Grove Charter School. Being the wife of a pastor, Susan has many responsibilities at the church. She loves working with the children and is involved in many of the youth programs. Each week, she teaches Sunday School. Susan has a special love for Beagles. Their family has had four of these dogs over the last 15 years. One day Susan would love to own land and be able to raise and care for Beagle Rescue dogs. This is her fondest dream. Reflecting on her life to this point, Susan is very proud of what she has become in these 43 years and looks forward to what God has planned for her next.

SISTER DOLORINE MARIE RYAN

Sister Dolorine Marie was born in West Philadelphia in St. Rose of Lima Parish, but at a young age, the family moved to Northeast Philadelphia where she attended grades 2 through 8 at St. Bernard Parish. When Sister looks back on her career in education, she remembers with great warmth her seven years in Connecticut where she assisted in a Kindergarten classroom. She absolutely loved working with children of that age. Currently, she serves in the Portress Office at Villa Maria House of Studies. She enjoys this work very much, especially since it provides her with an opportunity to have contact with many people. When she is not taking phone calls and caring for visitors to VMHS, Sister Dolorine enjoys solving Seek and Find Puzzles.

SISTER ROSEANNE BONFINI

Sister Roseanne attended West Catholic High School and then Immaculata College. After her sophomore year, she entered the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. She began her ministry of education in elementary schools and then taught briefly in high school. The congregation, though, recognized her special gifts and sent her to study in many prestigious institutes of higher education: Fordham University, the Sorbonne-Paris, and the University of Rochester. These studies prepared her for her 35 years of teaching and serving in administration at Immaculata College (now University). At this time, Sister Roseanne works at the Villa Maria House of Studies where she has assumed the task of creating and maintaining the congregational website and where she serves as Director of Information Services for the Congregation. This position enables her to assist the IHMs in media relationships, advertising, and responding to requests for information. When she is not working, Sister Roseanne loves to fix things and make the broken useful again. She loves gadgets! She also enjoys reading and doing research, especially online, and continues to expand her appreciation for art, music and culture. She is especially partial to sources which enrich her and deepen her understanding of the meaning of the mystery of the Kingdom of God within. Sister Roseanne views her current assignment an “unexpected third-life ministry that has enabled [her] to find ways of serving and using past experience while exploring new skills.” Looking back on her life, Sister Roseanne says, with all sincerity, that she has always been happy wherever she was and whatever she was doing. How wonderful!

SISTER KATHLEEN DOYLE

A West Chester native, Sister Kathleen Doyle had been influenced by the IHMs throughout her formative years at both St. Agnes Elementary School and Bishop Shanahan High School. She also grew up in the shadow of the former Motherhouse. Currently, in this Motherhouse, Villa Maria House of Studies, Sister Kathleen is definitely a “go to” person who works very hard to support the Congregational Administration in their ministry to the over 700 sisters in the community. Sister Kathleen prepares the Angelus, the Community Newsletter, for mailing to all of the convents. She also takes care of entering every sister’s retreat information into the computer. When she is not busy with these tasks, Sister Kathleen can be found in the Portress Office, answering the telephone and welcoming guests to Villa Maria House of Studies. A life-long learner, Sister Kathleen, who calls herself “technologically challenged,” gets very excited about learning new things to do on a computer. She also loves to relax with a good book!

DAVE MCDONNELL

Dave McDonnell, the Facilities Director at the Villa Maria House of Studies declares, “I absolutely love coming to work every day!” He has been working at VMHS for the last 14 years. As Facilities Director, Dave has many responsibilities. He is responsible for the Motherhouse buildings and grounds, for the vehicles, and for the other buildings on the property. He also supervises all of the custodial and maintenance workers at VMHS. Dave grew up in Malvern, attending St. Patrick Elementary School and Great Valley High School. He graduated from West Chester University with a degree in elementary education. Dave comments that he “never got too far away from this area.” When he is not working, Dave enjoys coaching softball, ages 12-18; he also enjoys being on the beach or on the back deck with his wife, but his greatest joy comes from being a father and a grandfather.

SISTER THADDEUS MARIE DEL RICCI

Sister Thaddeus grew up in St. Joan of Arc Parish in Philadelphia. During her childhood, she felt cared for and loved by all at St. Joan and especially by the IHM Sisters. It was through them that she answered her call from the Lord to follow Him. Sister has spent the last several years doing Community Service at Villa Maria House of Studies, helping out in the Portress Office. This ministry, which offers Sister the opportunity to be the welcoming presence at the front door of the Motherhouse, has given her much pleasure and happiness. One of sister’s great joys is to help others. She believes that when you give to others, you always receive in return. This gift of generosity is carried over into her daily life. Although she enjoys many things – crocheting, gardening, reading, socializing and attending parties, her favorite avocation is baking. She absolutely loves baking delicious cookies to share with her religious family and her friends.

IHM Sisters – On Mission

Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

We Remember… Sister Marie Angela Natoli IHM General Superior 1994-2000 Died: 11/13/2015 I think the greatest thing you can say about a person is, “She was greatly loved.” Sister Marie Angela was “greatly loved.” When she was elected to the office of Superior General in 1994, the whole community rejoiced. Sister Angela was a very spiritual, quiet, comfortable person who treated everyone with respect. She was not political; she served, not because she loved the job, but because she believed fully in living her life according to the will of God. The way she presented herself to us and to the people of God made us all proud to have her as our Superior General. Sister Marie Angela will always be remembered as one of our beloved leaders, but those of us who knew her along the way saw so much more. Angela was devoted to her family, her parents, her sisters and her brothers. She was a scholar, studying at both Villanova and Fordham Universities, and above all, she was a masterful teacher. She honed her skills during her seven years teaching in Transfiguration elementary school. She then moved to high school where she absolutely loved teaching theology. She also loved her treks every summer to missions in the South to teach CCD. When she was with these poor families, she dedicated herself to them, going to their homes, sharing meals with them, getting to know them and the challenges that they faced. She did all she could to alleviate their difficulties. The South American years, in both Peru and Chile, were especially dear to Sister Angela. As both teacher and later, Mistress of Novices, Sister had a powerful impact on the people. Her humility, her acceptance, and her wonderful sense of humor endeared her to all she met. Even after she returned to the states, she maintained a strong connection to South America. She was very sad when the Novitiate in Chile closed. As General Superior, she had the opportunity to make a return visit to South America. All who knew her flocked to the convents to see “Madre Angela!” I consider myself blessed to have known Sister Angela and to have been able to call her “friend.” She was an amazing woman whose heart was with her Lord, but whose feet were on the ground. I believe that she was very holy – but she wore it lightly!

Sister Trinita Marie Amorosi Died: 5/31/2016 As I reflect on my fifty years of friendship with Sister Trinita Marie, the tune “How Do You Solve a Problem like Maria” keeps teasing me. “Trin” was not a problem to be solved, but a gifted spirit hard to quantify. She enriched and enlivened, designed and decorated in order to make concepts visible and the spiritual concrete. She began her art training at Hallahan High School under Sister Mary Trinita, at the school she loved and with the mentor she revered. From Hallahan she arrived in West Chester in 1950 to enrich our IHM ministries. I first met her in Lancaster in 1964 where we served together in Catholic High. There, in addition to the Fine Arts classes, she relished her time with the Mechanical Drawing students. After returning from teaching art in Chile, she became an itinerant art teacher in Philadelphia, then a beloved art teacher at Bishop McDevitt High School where she spent countless after school hours painting sets and scenery for school drama and musical productions. We worked together again in 1982 when she came to Immaculata College where she renewed the art program, offering ceramics as well as watercolor and oil painting. After taking instruction in sculpture at the West Chester Art Alliance she found a niche she loved, and the Wednesday sculpture sessions with the adult sculpture group became a permanent part of her program. A six thousand mile trip I made with her from Pennsylvania to Utah in search of art and alabaster is a memory I cherish. In the Utah quarries she ordered five hundred pounds of alabaster. After she packed one hundred pounds in the trunk, I had to convince her to ship the rest if we intended to make it over the mountains. As technology advanced she became proficient with graphics, coupling hands-on with screen imaging. She did not like “pretty”. She believed art should reflect life in its strength and in its strife. I cannot do justice to her gifted spirit. I will, however, always relish it.

Sister Paul Bernard Blankemeyer Died: 6/27/2015 Sister Paul Bernard, (Mary Ellen) Blankemeyer was raised in St. Laurence Parish in Highland Park. She was one of ten children, having five brothers and four sisters. She graduated from Notre Dame Moylan High School and then went to work at Bell Telephone. In September, 1943, her younger sister Ruth entered the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and something in her sister’s decision had an impact on Mary Ellen. She left her job at The Bell after seven years, and followed her sister into the IHMs. She entered in February, 1944, and was in the same Band as Ruth. Sister Paul spent 13 years at Villa Madonna in Virginia teaching 3rd grade and caring for the girls who boarded there. Her first change took her to St. Aloysius Academy where she spent 15 years. In addition to teaching 5th grade at St. Aloysius, Sister Paul was famous for driving the bus every day to pick up the students. It was here that she learned all of the highways and byways of the area and where she earned the reputation as a driver par excellence! Leaving St. Aloysius, Sister Paul became the superior and principal at Annunciation, Philadelphia and remained there for six years. After that, she moved to Pacis Hall and spent the next 20 years serving the Camilla Hall community. Anyone you speak with will immediately tell you that Sister Paul was a “wonderful driver.” As her sisters tell it, she spent entire days driving sisters to appointments or to meetings. Wherever anyone wanted to go, Sister Paul was “on deck.” In addition to her driving assignments, Sister Paul faithfully cared for Sister Mary Mercy, feeding her each day. Sister Paul lived at Pacis Hall and worked at Camilla until 1999 when she became a resident of Camilla. Throughout her life, she was known for her friendliness and her willingness to help. She always had a smile for her sisters, and no one can remember ever seeing her ruffled. She was a beautiful person and is sadly missed by her friends and especially by her sister, Ruth, Sister Mary Stanislaus.

Sister M. Teresa Alfonso Perez Bonany Died: 8/14/2015 Sister Teresa Alfonso was born in Callao, Peru into the Perez Bonany family in 1942. She grew up with two bothers and one sister in a traditional Peruvian family, greatly devoted to family life and the church. Sister Teresa must have had a very strong vocation because she completed high school twice just to enter the convent! She had just completed the commercial course of study when the community informed her that she needed to complete the academic course to enter. She didn’t mind since she believed that there were signs that she belonged with the IHMs. Her mother, as a young woman, had been chosen by the Bishop of Lima to go to the port and welcome the ship bringing the first IHMs to Peru. Also, her parents, Alfonso and Teresa, shared the names of the community patrons! Sister entered at the age of 22 and pursued studies in biology at the Catholic University of Peru. She taught biology and later became a principal of one of the Peruvian elementary schools. Later, she enjoyed her mission experience in Penndel, PA where the students, who all watched Happy Days, called her The Fonz! She returned to Peru, but after her parents’ deaths, she was changed to the states again and became a nurse’s aide and eventually a practical nurse at Camilla. If you had Sister Teresa as your nurse, you were well cared for every day. Her love for the sisters and religious life drew me to become an IHM sister. In 2004, Sister began a new ministry working with the HOPE program at St. Laurence, Upper Darby. She felt privileged to be able to visit the sick in their homes. She worked tirelessly to meet the needs of those entrusted to her ministry. In August, I walked Sister Teresa home to God. She became ill in Stone Harbor where I was the “nurse on duty.” We headed back to Pennsylvania where she spent her final days surrounded by those she loved in Camilla.

Sister Jeanne Patricia Crowe Died: 5/30/2016 A spirit of dedication, devotion and love for her God, her personal and IHM community families, as well as all those she encountered in the apostolate, characterized Sister Jeanne Patricia’s life. Though she suffered since her early twenties from chronic rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, Jeanne always worked hard, enjoyed life and participated fully in all family, community and parish events. Whether it was a school concert of a niece or nephew, a family party, an IHM community gathering, her parish festival or a school reunion, Jeanne felt it was important to participate. She also played the bells in the Camilla “Nuns & Docs” instrumental group and participated in all IHM vocal choirs. After teaching sixth, seventh and eighth grades for ten years, Jeanne was asked by the community to study Pharmacy. Upon completing advanced studies, she opened the Pharmacy at Camilla Hall which she directed for seventeen years. During this time, Jeanne also wrote drugrelated articles and books, taught Pharmacology at Immaculata University and traveled throughout the USA to lecture about food-medication interactions for dietician associations. For the past eight years Sister Jeanne has been on home care with her dear mother. In addition to taking care of her mother’s daily needs and the family home, she continued to do pharmacological research, edit articles and books, and give occasional lectures on related topics. Jeanne also did an excellent job teaching PREP levels 4 and 5 and then the Confirmation Class at Our Lady of the Assumption, Strafford. Several weeks before her sudden passing, Jeanne was a Confirmation Sponsor for one of her students with whom she formed a strong spiritual bond. She also served as a lector at her home parish, Visitation B.V.M., Trooper. Sister Jeanne Patricia was a loving daughter, sister and aunt, a dedicated member of our IHM community, and a loyal friend! Though her life was not without strife, suffering and disappointment, through the grace of God, she was restored to a deep inner peace with her Loving Lord and all others! Although I greatly miss her physical presence, my heart is filled with joy that Jeanne is free of all pain and will rejoice forever in the arms of our merciful, loving Savior!

Sister Janet Regina Dougherty Died 9/26/2015 From sea to shining sea, Sister Janet Regina lived the IHM virtue of hospitality! Her welcoming spirit made each person feel important and special. From Georgia to Pennsylvania, from Virginia to California she touched others with God’s love and joy! Sister Janet opened her arms to give a warm hug to a child in need or danced down the hall to “Dancing Queen” with another. “My memory of Sister Janet is when I was either in class or it was before or after school she would always give me a hug and I really miss that. “

Tess (Grade 3)

“My favorite thing about Sister Janet was how much she loved to dance. Not only did she like to dance but she liked others to dance as well. She was the first one on the dance floor and the last one off. We love you, Sister Janet, and you’ll always remain with us forever - dancing in our hearts.”

Cullen (Grade8)

The twinkle in Janet’s eyes glowed – ready to tease, ready to tell a story, or ready to pick-up your spirit! In her life, she was faithful - to being an IHM, to loving her family and to supporting her friends. From sea to shining sea, Sister Janet’s smile and energy was a beacon of light!

“Dear Lord, please take care of Sister Janet and make sure she is loved and can see everyone she knew from childhood and up. Also tell her everyone loves and prays for her.”

Emmie (Grade 4)

We are blessed to have had Sister Janet in our lives! May God hold her close in a warm, loving hug!

Sister Catherine Dunleavy (S. Catherine Dei Ricci) Died: 7/7/2015 Sister Catherine was one of five children born to Patrick and Anne Dunleavy. Her mother was my father’s sister. What made Catherine very special to us was the fact that my father was her godfather. I remember my parents’ pride when she entered the convent and their excitement when she received the habit. Years later, when she was in Camilla Hall, my older sister brought Catherine the photo that we had taken of her with her parents on that special day. That photo remained on her bulletin board until she died. In the 1970s Catherine was missioned at Our Lady of Fatima, Secane. During these days, we saw her quite frequently because one of my brothers lived in that parish, and Sister Catherine taught one of his sons. When Sister visited my brother’s home, my nephew was super-solicitous, and we teased him about earning “brownie points!” My parents and youngest brother lived near 69th Street. Catherine often traveled by public transportation to that area to visit her Mom on Saturdays, and she frequently visited our home as well. She knew there was always a welcome on the mat on Stephan Court! Her Mom lived a block away from my younger sister and her husband. Sister Catherine always appreciated how they looked after her Mom. As soon as Catherine heard my brother-in-law’s name, there was a huge smile on her face! Sister Catherine celebrated her 25th Jubilee in St. Agnes Parish, West Chester, and I was privileged to spend the weekend with her. For her 60th Anniversary of Profession at Camilla Hall, many of my family came. We enjoyed a wonderful day – taking her down memory lane and sharing many laughs. During the past fifteen years, we visited Catherine at her bedside. The best way to get her involved was to start a conversation about her family. The mention of familiar names and past gatherings of the family brought smiles to her face. Her greatest joy was simply to know that all was well with those she loved. At the time of her death, Catherine was the last member of her immediate family.

Sister M. Lorraine Gondkofski (S. Maria Francinus) Died: 3/16/2016 Sister Lorraine Gondkofski was my mother’s only sibling and my dear aunt. When I think about her life, I think of inspiration. I know that she touched many lives as she carried out her ministry in seven different states. Aunt Lorraine was raised in the Roxborough/Manayunk area of Philadelphia and attended Hallahan High School. It was here that she met the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and felt the call to religious life. She had a very happy life in ministry, teaching for many years and eventually working as a Pastoral Minister and a Director of Religious Education. Aunt Lorraine was passionate in her devotion to Our Blessed Mother, and loved to walk and pray. Family was extremely important to my aunt. She visited us during every break in her schedule. She loved to make trips back to Roxborough; she loved to visit her parents’ graves. I was honored to be able to chauffer her on many of these excursions. One of Sister Lorraine’s favorite ministries was in Miami. I was a kid when she was there and was fascinated with her connections to several of the Super Bowl Champion Miami Dolphins (she was teaching their children). It was then that I became a life-long Dolphin fan. When she returned there later in her career, she made contact again with some of the Dolphins and turned them into donors to her program. This was my aunt. When she was passionate about a cause, she found a way to gain support. Another one of my aunt’s passions was Haiti. She felt very drawn to the suffering of the people there and went on mission trips to work with them. She desperately wanted to help. I have felt my aunt’s intercession personally in the last few months. My oldest daughter has been drawn to Immaculata University and will be attending there in the fall. I like to think that Sister Lorraine’s prayers and her intercession on our behalf has helped this to happen.

Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Sister Mary Anna Heffron (S. Mary Martin) Died: 10/9/2015 Our mom and dad, Martin and Anna Heffron, were never happier than on the day, in 1963, when their daughter Anne was professed as Sister Mary Martin, IHM, later taking the name Sister Mary Anna Heffron, IHM. Early influences in Anne's life were parents, church, a great aunt, Sister Teresa Angela of the Sisters of St. Joseph, and a great uncle, Father Ed Craney. However, Nativity High School in Pottsville, PA., with its varied staff including the wonderful Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, was a major influence. Many of us wanted to be exactly like these sisters. After she entered the Congregation, Mary taught for more than 20 years. She earned two Master’s Degrees and from these degrees came assignments in directed retreats, religious education, conducting group retreats, lay education, parish assistance, and giving private spiritual direction to her fellow sisters. Mary's spirituality and wisdom had a great impact on so many lives. Also, her spiritual formation and unique insights, together with her gift of the pen, saw her writings appear in publications for religious and priests. For the last 18 years Sr. Mary enjoyed serving St. Francis Parish in Robesonia, Pa. She especially felt privileged in sharing the growth and joys and sorrows in the parish families. She treasured her respites with family, friends and time at the beach. She arrived at family holiday celebrations with her homemade apple pie in hand, and all her nieces and nephews looked forward to their tins of homemade oatmeal cookies at Christmas. These, and many memories, fill the large empty space she left with all who shared her life.

Sister Miriam Robert Heinze Died: 1/24/2016 We will always have loving memories of Sister Miriam Robert, our Aunt Rosalie. Our first thoughts are of her as a role model for our families. Her life was dedicated to God and she enjoyed every moment along the way. She also was a dedicated daughter, sister, sister-in-law and aunt to two large families who loved her in return. Aunt Rosalie never missed anyone's birthday, or anniversary. At Christmas she always had something for everyone to open, even when there were a dozen or more of grand nieces and grand nephews to remember, and she never missed a name! We also fondly remember visiting her at the many convents, far and wide, especially at Easter when the young ones would be showered with candy and played in their Easter best while she visited with her mother and her sisters. Aunt Rosalie loved the shore. Before or after retreats at Stone Harbor she would visit her sisters and their families at Wildwood or Ocean City. She was always a great listener, and she would end every discussion with "Yes, I hear you, and I think I'll do it my way." Aunt Rosalie loved indulging in her one vice....black and white milk shakes. She never passed a Friendly's Ice Cream that she didn't stop in to enjoy her special treat. We, as a family, will always be grateful for the wonderful and loving care Aunt Rosalie received at Camilla Hall from a truly dedicated and caring staff. ...Because we will always love her.

Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Sister Margaret B. Holzenthaler (S. Marie Andrew) Died: 3/16/2016 My sister, Margaret, was born in upstate Pennsylvania, the third of four daughters to Elizabeth and Vincent Holzenthaler. I followed. She loved and protected me and claimed me as her “baby sister.” Over time, we became each other’s protection and best friend. From our earliest days in Boston Run, our parents modeled the meaning of fidelity and sacrificial love. What Margaret learned at home stayed with her throughout her life. From a rural area to the big city, our move from upstate Pennsylvania to Philadelphia was a major family transition. At that time Margaret entered 6th grade at Holy Child School. She then went on to Little Flower High School where she became involved in all aspects of the school, especially the music department. It was there, under the joyful influence of S. Maria Assumpta and S. Helena Mary that she saw her family’s fidelity and sacrificial love mirrored. It was the influence of these sisters and our own family life that led Margaret to choose a religious vocation. Her generosity in answering God’s call planted the seed of my own vocation. I followed her as a Sister, Servant of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Margaret’s religious life was exemplary because of the way she lived it. She gave the total gift of herself to God and to others. She was a joyful witness and guided others on their spiritual journeys. Margaret evangelized as teacher, principal, parish minister, “sister,” and friend. Margaret brought all those she encountered closer to God. After a serious fall resulting in severe and ongoing brain injury, my sister gave a most profound witness to Christ through her redemptive suffering in Camilla Hall. This suffering was compounded by her escalating hearing loss over many years, her greatest cross. She never complained of these losses. Sister Margaret’s prayer, gratitude, sunshine smile and her warm and caring ways identified her, my sister, a faithful witness. I hold the gift of Margaret in greatest esteem and praise God for lending me Margaret, my big sister and my dearest friend.

Sister Immaculata Mary Jerome Died: 5/3/2016 Your cheerleader, your confidant, your spiritual advisor – that was what Sister Immaculata was to anyone she shared life with! Her ministry took Sister to many schools where, I am sure, she touched the lives of many students, but her life of giving and sharing with the teachers is what will stay with us forever! I knew Sister Immaculata from our years together at St. Hubert, during which time we developed an amazing bond. Sister became an important part of my family with an attachment not only to me, but also to my late husband, Thaddeus, and to my late mother. A week never went by without some correspondence – a card, prayerbook, or even a lottery ticket. When my husband Thaddeus was ill and dying, her regular calls to “our boy” were of comfort, love and prayers. And, just as she became a part of my family, she shared stories of her family with me. I felt I knew Ed and Maddie and her extended family, even though I did not meet them personally until sister’s funeral. One of Sister Immaculata’s many wonderful gifts was her ability to bring people together. She would often encourage me to call this or that friend who, she believed, needed a call. Interestingly, a group of Saint Hubert teachers gathered a week after sister’s passing to celebrate her birthday. We learned at that gathering that each of us had been assigned by Sister Immaculata to keep regularly in touch with another in the group. She left us each our own “guardian angel.” So, now, as I conclude my tribute to my dearly missed friend, Sister Immaculata, I would like to close with the words she used to end each conversation with me: “Love Ya and God Bless!

Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Sister Charles Miriam Keltz Died: 3/14//2016 Sister Charles Miriam was raised in St. Raphael Parish in Southwest Philadelphia. She was from a very close family and had one brother and twin sisters. Her sister, Gloria, also entered religious life and is a Sister of St. Francis. Sister Charles taught in several elementary schools during her early ministry, but eventually she became a teacher of Theology, and taught in high schools in both Philadelphia and Miami. As a teacher, Sister Charles was a strong disciplinarian, but also a good example of kindness to her students. In her theology classes, she shared her love of God with the students and also emphasized the importance of reading. During her years at Hallahan, she demonstrated such a kind spirit that the girls felt comfortable sharing their concerns with her. Her mentoring helped guide many girls through their teenage years. When she was retiring to Camilla Hall, she spoke to the faculty and students at an assembly, and they gave her a standing ovation. Sister Charles loved to walk; therefore, on many Saturdays, she would offer to do errands for the sisters. She took the bus to center city Philadelphia and then enjoyed walking all over town completing the errands. She was also extremely helpful to the Nigerian sisters who lived in a nearby convent. She would move heaven and earth to help the sisters get adjusted, manage the language barrier and communicate through the mail with their families in Nigeria. At her funeral, a young man from a Nigerian family whom sister had helped came to bid farewell to her from his grateful family. Throughout her life, Sister Charles remained very close with her family. She thoroughly enjoyed visiting her sister, Sister Gloria, who was missioned for a time in Puerto Rico. Both of the sisters loved seafood and whenever the family got together, they would always celebrate with huge seafood feasts. Sister lived a life of love and kindness. Undoubtedly she is at peace now with the God she so loved.

Sister Mary Agnes Kinee (S. Maureen David) Died: 6/16/2016 Sister Mary Agnes Kinee was born, the third of four children, in South Philadelphia and attended Sacred Heart Elementary School and Hallahan High School. She entered the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary after high school and then spent almost her entire life of ministry working in South Philadelphia. A talented musician, Sister Mary Agnes received an advanced degree in music and liturgy from St. John’s University in Minnesota. Sister used this great gift of music throughout her life and throughout her ministries. Many children spent joyful hours singing and performing under Sister’s enthusiastic direction. Sister taught classroom music, directed monthly liturgies, and conducted Christmas Programs. She played the organ at many parish Masses and directed choirs. So whether she was ministering at St. Anthony, St. Nicholas, Stella Maris or St. Gabriel, the entire parish communities were uplifted by the musical genius of Sister Mary Agnes. We sisters who lived in Mary Immaculate Convent with Sister found her inspirational. During the liturgies we shared, she literally made the organ sing! Our service was like a mini-jubilee, especially when S. Alexis joined her and played the flute. Sister Mary Agnes’s love of God flowed into everything that she did. It is remarkable that a person of 81 years could still find so much joy in serving God in the manner to which He had called her so many years ago. Throughout her life, Sister had enormous compassion for those who were suffering. In her own final illness, she did not question God’s way and willingly offered her own sufferings in union with Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. Sister Mary Agnes loved her God, her church, her vocation and her family very deeply. She was always there for her family in their joys and sorrows. She never hesitated to address their needs, and she loved to be present for family occasions. She was similarly present to her religious family. She will be sadly missed.

Sister Marita Catherine Leinmiller Died: 8/3/2015 Sr. Catherine and I met almost 50 years ago at Sacred Heart, South Philly. We very quickly became friends. As a friend, you could always count on her. I am sure you knew her humor if you lived with her, but I think she would best be remembered for her generous spirit. There was nothing she wouldn't do to help you. She loved her vocation as an IHM and she certainly lived it. If you asked her to pray for someone or something, her response would be – you betcha! My husband, Bob and I considered her to be more of a family member than a friend. She became a very integral part of our lives, and our children considered her an aunt. She was thrilled to read at their weddings. She was also Confirmation Sponsor for our daughter, Jennifer. Anytime she had dinner with us she made a big fuss about how good it was, even if it wasn't. If you gave her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, she would tell you it was “swell!" She was very special to us, and her death has certainly left a void. We know she is not suffering and is probably spreading a lot of joy and laughter in heaven. Rest in peace, Sister Kate, you earned it.

Sister Marie Edwardine Leonard Died: 10/31/2015 I was blessed to have a double relationship with Sister Marie Edwardine Leonard. She was my dear aunt, and she was my IHM sister. During most of my childhood, Aunt Honey was in Chile where she ministered for nineteen years. I knew her as a child through the eyes of my grandmother, mother, aunt and uncle. They loved her deeply and supported her vocation in whatever way they could. When I was sixteen, I went to visit my Aunt Honey in Chile where she worked with the poorest of the poor at Escuela San Francisco. I experienced first-hand what an amazing missionary she was! Sister Marie Edwardine was in love with her Lord! Her love for Jesus manifested itself in incredible zeal in her ministry. She saw Christ in everyone she met. She brought that missionary spirit home with her when she returned to the States. She was a creative, gifted, loving teacher. Because of her ability to love without judgment, she was an extraordinary prison minister. She brought joy to her ministry and to community living by her unique sense of humor. Her wit and wisdom reminded us not to take ourselves too seriously. My cousins, sister, and brothers and I were the recipients of her unconditional love. The world would be a happier place, if everybody could have an Aunt Honey in their life!

Sister Felice Marie Long (S. Coronata Maria) Died: 4/17/2016 Although I have known Sister Felice since novitiate days, it was not until the last twenty years that I have best come to know my dear friend since, by God’s design, we were missioned just about five miles from each other. What a blessing, inspiration and joy she has become to me and to those she felt so privileged to serve. Sister Felice was a faith-filled, dedicated, courageous, valiant woman who went to God with her plate filled to overflowing with good deeds done, with great love, and with a heart of compassion. Nothing stopped this wonderful person from going the extra mile and reaching out to those in need. Sister Felice’s ministry, the ministry that she so lovingly embraced and in which she was so gifted, seemed guided by the need. To the homebound and sick, she brought God’s loving PRESENCE in both Sacrament and person; to the hungry, she and her wonderful helpers served hundreds of bags of food each week; to those who lost loved ones she brought guidance and much comfort and hope as she helped these families prepare for their final coming together at the Eucharist; to the children who ran to her, she brought a smile and some “goodies” from her pocket, and lastly, to the strangers who sought her out for her welcoming ways, she brought great kindness and goodness and helped them see more clearly the God within and around them. Upon Sister’s death, our IHM community has received a Condolence Resolution from the House of Representatives from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in recognition of her tremendous outreach to the poor through the Food Pantry which she ran from St. Gabriel Parish. They described sister as “a beloved family member, a dedicated worker and an avowed community steward who exemplified the best qualities of human existence.” WELL DONE good and faithful servant (Mt. 25). You have fought the good fight; you have finished the race; you have kept the Faith (2Tim.). You have lived and taught the Good News (Mk.16), and You will see the Morning Star (Rev.2).

Sister M. Julietta Ludwikowski Died: 11/13/2015 Who would believe that before her entrance into the IHM Congregation, Sister M. Julietta played the trumpet in Phil Spitalmi’s AllGirl Orchestra when such music organizations were not the norm? Her participation in this group led her to performances in both North and South America. Sister Julietta was a development director long before companies and organizations made it an important executive position. She assisted Camilla Hall, Immaculata University, Villa Maria House of Studies, Villa Maria by-the-Sea and many poor schools in North and South America in need of financial help and educational resources. Her requests for assistance were always personally addressed and hand-written. Sister had many friends in all walks of life and prayed for them individually every day, often enlisting the Pink Sisters to pray for these intentions as well. Julietta also had great devotion to the Three Kings. I can just imagine her grateful recognition for their assistance when she

finally met them in heaven! Sister Julietta was not only a talented musician, a gifted writer and a dedicated philanthropist, she was also a “go-to” person who would spare no effort in trying to assist anyone who needed help. A faithful Sister servant, Sister Julietta will be missed by so many who were recipients of her generosity.

Sister Mary Dolores Mallon (S. Marian Arthur) Died: 1/2/2016 Our aunt, Sister Mary Dolores Mallon, filled many roles throughout her life: daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and Sister of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. She was the oldest of three daughters of immigrant parents from Ireland. She attended St. Edward Elementary School and Hallahan Girls High School. During her 60 years of ministry, Sister was devoted to her faith, her community and her family. She shared her faith with everyone she met. She worked in many schools throughout the Archdiocese of Philadelphia as both a teacher and a librarian. We, her nephews and nieces, have many fond memories of our aunt. At family gatherings, she was always eager to play games with us and with our friends. When she was at St. Gabriel’s, we all loved to attend the “Penny Parties” there. Our aunt Dolores had an unbelievable memory and never missed a birthday! She loved to read; she loved math. Each year, she looked forward to her time at Stone Harbor. She especially loved reminiscing about her family – those of us who lived here, and those living in Ireland. Our aunt was a very spiritual person and taught us all the importance of the rosary, whether it was praying it in the car while driving back from visits, or praying it with her when she was bedridden. We knew who to call if we ever needed prayers! All who knew our aunt were touched by her loyalty and her caring nature. She was unfailingly kind and generous to others. We miss her very much.

Sister Mary Appolonia Matjasic Died: 8/9/2015 I first met Sister Mary Appolonia while I was a seminarian at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in the early 1980s. She was an adjunct faculty member teaching Spanish, and I was in her class. I vividly remember her preparing us to pray the Eucharistic Prayer in Spanish, mixing language instruction with expressions of deep faith in the Body and Blood of our Lord. Her faith was real and compelling. The next thing I knew, and especially after Ordination to the Priesthood, I was doing all types of things because of Sister that ran the gamut from chaperoning international students, to serving as confessor at Gillet for more than fifteen years, to teaching at Immaculata. The list is incredible! With all of the wonderful memories of Appy that I continue to treasure, her love for the Church and the Consecrated Life stand out as the most remarkable. May she know all of the promises of heaven!

Sister Marie Joanne McCarty Died: 4/17/2016 Sister Marie Joanne and I met in the early 1970s when she was teaching at Immaculate Conception School in Somerville, New Jersey. In addition to teaching 8th grade, Sister Joanne was in charge of the library, and I volunteered as the library aide. After school, we would talk and laugh about things that had happened in the library, and we quickly became friends. When Sister transferred from Immaculate Conception, we remained in touch, and we would often visit her at the convents in Connecticut and Pennsylvania. As the 8th grade teacher of my oldest children, Sister Joanne’s spiritual guidance and warm yet strict style helped to shape them into successful adults with faith and Christian values. Over the years, Sister attended our family events and celebrated all of our milestones, both happy and sad. She was always there when any of my grandchildren received their sacraments and even served as confirmation sponsor when asked to do so. During difficult times, Sister Joanne provided much needed reassurance and encouragement, thereby giving me the strength to keep the faith. Accordingly, she became much more than a friend…she became family. One particular story comes to mind when I’m asked to describe Sister Joanne. It was Sister’s 60th birthday, and everyone in the family came to dinner to celebrate with her. Two of my granddaughters, who were about 8years-old at the time, each made a birthday cake: one made chocolate with vanilla icing; the other made yellow cake with chocolate icing. I thought the girls wanted to be sure Sister got to have her favorite cake. Imagine my surprise when the girls told Sister that they made two cakes because they didn’t think all of the candles would fit on one! Unflappable, kind and appreciative as she was, Sister just laughed and blew out all of the candles and helped herself to a piece of each. Sister Joanne truly was a blessing to me and my family. We miss her terribly but find solace in knowing that she has achieved her eternal reward.

Sister Ann McGovern (S. Maureen Thomas) Died: 11/19/2015 Sister Ann McGovern was raised in a very Irish family in West Philadelphia. She had two brothers and one sister with whom she was very close. Ann attended Most Blessed Sacrament Elementary School and West Catholic High School. After high school, she entered the IHMs and began her 66 years of service to the people of God. Sister Ann’s years of ministry were long and varied. She taught elementary school and high school in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, in the city, in the suburbs, and in the coal region. She was an excellent and wellloved teacher, the kind of teacher with whom students kept in touch. It was heart-warming to see the number of her former students who attended her funeral. She made a life-long impression on many children whom she met. Sister’s life was powerfully affected by an automobile accident. She was very seriously injured, but was determined to recover. Her ever positive nature served her well through this ordeal. Although the accident abruptly ended Sister Ann’s teaching career, it began her pastoral ministry through which she touched innumerable lives. Sister Ann worked in several parishes and then as a visitor in Methodist Hospital and Nursing Home in South Philadelphia. Once again, she was treasured, and she found that she loved this work. She became very involved with the people in the home, teaching them to write poetry and initiating a May Procession. Since Sister was still working there at the time of her death, her absence was a shock to all. Sister Ann loved many things. She loved being Irish, and visited Irish cousins on the “old sod” twice. She loved spending time with friends, traveling to the shore. Actually, Sister Ann just liked to “go” despite her physical limitations. She especially loved teaching English and was an accomplished poet, publishing her work yearly in The Magnificat. As we reflect on Ann’s life, we can use her own words to understand her: “As we look, we see, we know, we remember God is there to love us, to teach us, What else do we need?”

Sister Ellen Miriam Musick Died: 10/23/2015 Sister Ellen Miriam, our sister Helen, was the second of five children. She began life in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia where she attended Nativity B.V.M. School. Later, our family moved to Northeast Philadelphia. That fall Helen began the second half of her elementary education at St. Matthew School. We were all very proud when she received a four-year scholarship to high school at Melrose Academy in Elkins Park, Pa. During her school years, Helen had experience with three orders of religious sisters, St. Joseph, I.H.M. and the Grey Nuns, but it was the I.H.M. Sisters who truly captured her heart, and she entered their community in July 1960. Helen received her BA in Education from Immaculata University and earned an MA in History from Villanova University. Most of her teaching career was spent in the middle grades. She also served as a principal. One of her summer assignments was teaching English to the Vietnamese community in Southwest Philadelphia. Helen especially enjoyed this work as she loved Asian culture. Her last assignment was at St. Hubert’s High School where she assisted in the library. Her two sisters who are alumnae of St. Hubert’s were happy that their elder sister finally became a “Bambie.” Helen’s missions were almost always in the Philadelphia area. This was a blessing for all of us as family held a special place in Helen’s heart. Her devotion to our parents during their “golden” years was unceasing. Christmas time was especially exciting as Helen made her “Holiday Tour” from house to house spreading her Christmas cheer. As nieces and nephews were married, Aunt Helen offered the blessing at many of their wedding receptions. Recently the family rejoiced in celebrating Helen’s Golden Jubilee. She loved family vacations especially to the shore even though she never let her feet touch the sand! While we are certain Helen is now with our parents and happy in her eternal home, her untimely passing has left our hearts with a tremendous emptiness. We will always love and miss her very much!!

Sister Helen Rapine (S. Mary Bernard) Died: 5/25/2016 Sister Helen Rapine, who to many of us is lovingly known as Sister Mary Bernard, left us for a higher calling on May 25, 2016. She was summoned by Jesus to join the communion of saints for all eternity. Who was this woman of vision, this passionate servant of Catholic education? Sister Helen's early life began in Norristown then moved on to Philadelphia where she found in West Catholic the seeds of her religious vocation as a Sister, Servant of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Truly this was the beginning of a life well lived for the Lord. Little did she know that some day in the future she would return to West as the disciplinarian, a member of the school's administration. Sister Helen went on to leave her imprint on many high schools which included Marian High School, a small high school in the Lehigh Valley in PA to Villa Maria in Chile. The crowning moment of her educational ministry came in the construction of Bishop Shanahan High School in Downingtown, PA. Sister Helen was more than a builder of a school. She was the builder and guardian of souls in her ministry which spanned more than sixty years and during which she was part of the religious formation of the young aspirants in the IHM congregation. Her ministry included six years as the Sister Assistant to the Mother General. During these years she was still strongly involved in the ministry of Catholic education. She was a good listener as well as an accomplished speaker, which are qualities essential to the role of a good leader. Leadership was the highlight of Sister Helen's career; leading came naturally to her. Her demeanor was pleasant and inviting. Children and adults were drawn to her. She was personable, caring and truly interested in people and their concerns. What a legacy she left to us, her colleagues and friends. Thank you, Sister Helen, for sharing your life with us. May you rest in peace in the arms of your Lord.

Sister Marie Cecile Reardon Died: 6/17//2016 My cousin, Sister Marie Cecile, was affectionately known in our family as Rosie. Our families were close as my mother and her father were siblings. Ceil was only seven when her mother went to heaven. During her mother’s illness, her beloved father would bring Rose and her sister Rita to my parents. Growing up, Rose was a lively, happy girl; she always had a smile on her face. When she informed us at age sixteen that she was going to the convent, we all thought, “Oh Yeah!” But she surprised us all! She was twenty-one when she entered the IHMs. She had been waiting for her sister, Rita, to graduate from nursing school in Alabama, but Rita married Chris and stayed down South, so Rose made her plans to enter the IHMs in September of 1947. From the day she entered, Rose never looked back. She truly loved being an IHM. She taught in the Philadelphia diocese, in Virginia and in St. Joseph in Locust Gap, PA where she left her heart. When my mother, Ceil’s Aunt Mayme, had her first stroke, Ceil was in Virginia. She astonished everyone by coming up once a month to be with her Aunt. We all knew of her fear of cars and planes. When Mom knew Ceil was coming, she would say, “Get ready; Rosie the Flying Nun is coming!” In our family, we would celebrate everyone’s birthday at Walber’s on the Delaware. She and Alex, my brother, were always the last two to leave from the restaurant since they were both nervous in cars. Alex would be constantly putting on the brakes and Ceil would be in the back praying to St. Januarius. I asked who he was and Ceil answered. “The Saint of Red Lights.” What a reunion Ceil must have had with her family in heaven. Alex, I know, was waiting for his favorite cousin, older than him by six months. Right before Ceil stopped talking, she was calling for Alex. We believe that he was there waiting to guide her to heaven.

Sister Rosemary Reher (S. Maria Martin) Died: 1/2/2016 Next to my computer I keep a picture of my sister Rosemary as a ten year-old; she is lovingly hugging an IHM sister doll close to her heart. “Sister Mary Agnes” was the only Christmas gift that she had wanted, and it symbolized all that my sister would ever desire – to serve Christ as an IHM. Rosemary met the community in elementary school and continued the IHM connection throughout secondary school at Little Flower High School. She entered the congregation at seventeen. Her community assignments cut a wide geographic swathe from Shamokin, Pa to Santiago, Chile. She taught in various elementary and secondary schools in five dioceses. Wherever she ministered, her students remember her as understanding, inherently thoughtful, and limitlessly gentle. In 1991, she was privileged to be a founding member of the IHM House of Prayer in Nesquehoning, PA. The people of this parish treasured Rosemary from the moment she came among them. When she left the House of Prayer after six years, she worked in pastoral ministry until she retired to Camilla where she traversed its long halls like the “energizer bunny” off on one or another errand of mercy. To the family, “Aunt Gigi” is remembered for her love, warmth, humor, for her upbeat disposition and for her countless acts of kindness. She never missed a birthday or important occasion without sending a card. Indeed, she had her entire calendar for 2016 already marked with birthdays and anniversaries to be commemorated. She is remembered by her community members as “a woman formed by the Word,” as a “holy, happy person,” as a “walking ad for the Joy of the Gospel” as a “Saint.” Her sisters all comment on her “delectable sense of humor” and her “insight.” To the end, Rosemary’s deep devotion to Mary and her divine Son informed her very being. Fittingly, she died peacefully in her sleep, a rosary encircling her hand, a hand in which she lovingly cradled a small image of her Blessed Mother. “Requiescat in pace,” Gig!

Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Sister Catherine Agnes Robinson Died: 6/10/2016 Our family was raised in Good Shepherd Parish in West Philadelphia. It was here that my sister Catherine (Kit) met the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Kit was the second of five children and the oldest of us three girls. I am not sure when she started to think about a vocation, because as a young girl, she desperately wanted to learn to ride horses. She did have an opportunity to ride, but knew right away it was not for her. Perhaps that is when she gave up her “cowgirl dreams” and began to think about her true future. By the time Kit was graduating from West Catholic, she had decided to enter the IHMs. My father suggested that she work a year or two before entering, but Kit was determined to go right from school. I vividly remember all of us boarding the trolley and accompanying her to West Chester on entrance day. My father said, “Kit, remember, the door opens both ways. If you are not content, you are not meant to be here.” Kit, though, never looked back. Throughout her long life, Kit taught in many elementary schools both in Philadelphia and the suburbs. She loved teaching and was happy no matter where she was sent. I remember being very upset when she was sent to Reading after having been stationed in two Philadelphia schools. She, though, was not a bit concerned. She said, “We will just have to talk on the phone.” And we did. We spoke every night. My sister was a very happy person and a very talented one too. She was an excellent cook and baker. We always loved her delicious cakes and pies. She was also an excellent seamstress, and many of the sisters came to her to have their habits altered. Kit especially enjoyed her yearly trip to Stone Harbor. She fell in love with the shore as a young girl since we visited our grandmother’s house in Cape May every summer and swam in the ocean which we called “God’s bathtub.” I have so many wonderful memories of my dear sister. I miss her terribly.

Sister Marie la Reine Spain Died: 2/18/2016 My aunt, S. Marie la Reine, was born Mary Evelyn Spain in Akron, Ohio. She had two sisters. Because of her father’s job, Mary Evelyn attended innumerable schools, but despite all the change, she was an excellent student and an avid reader. She graduated from high school at the age of 16. She then went on to Immaculata College, graduating in 1941 with a degree in French. While at Immaculata, Mary Evelyn felt a calling to religious life; her father, however, would not agree to her entrance. Since she was only 20 years old, she had to delay her vocation. Instead, she enlisted in the US Navy; she honorably served for 44 months during World War II. Her knowledge of French and her facility with codes led to her appointment as a Communications Officer with the rank of Lieutenant. Upon discharge, Mary Evelyn, entered the congregation and was given the name S. Marie la Reine. Shortly after she made her final vows in 1952, she enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania gaining a Masters Degree in French. She was able to have this degree financed through the Veteran’s Bill. She tells a humorous story of lining up with the vets to apply for this educational grant. It was all men and one nun. Someone kindly told her that she was in the wrong line, but after being informed, “This line is for Veterans,” she quickly clarified that she was, in fact, in the RIGHT line! Her MA was followed shortly by a government grant which named Sister a Fulbright Scholar. She studied for a full year at the Sorbonne. Sister spent most of her teaching career in IHM high schools. She ended her career at Bishop O’Connell High School, VA where she was assistant principal for 21 years. Although she was 83 when she arrived, her time at Camilla was very productive. I think she virtually “took over” the front desk, as was her way. My aunt carried her reading habit into old age, and read the Sunday NY Times cover to cover each week – and remembered what she read. She constantly “blew the minds” of my friends with the breadth of her knowledge. She was conversant on almost every topic. When she passed away, Sister Marie la Reine received full military honors at her funeral.

Sister Rose Anthony Spingler Died: 9/19/2015 When my best friend, Sister Rose Anthony celebrated her golden jubilee, her card had three words on it: Praise, Love, and Thanksgiving.” As I reflect upon Rose’s life, these words are most applicable: PRAISE: Praise God for Rose’s life of high energy, dedication, commitment to excellence, and fidelity to the mission. In her beginning days at Villa Maria, Rose was dedicated to teaching and taking care of the girls who boarded there. She was their teacher, nurse, mentor and fill-in mother. Highly intelligent, Rose earned Master’s degrees in Chemistry, Mathematics and Counseling and shared her education humbly in her ministry. While at Cardinal Dougherty, Rose and Father Paul Kennedy were responsible for envisioning and executing a “Medical Careers Academy.” Students were able to jump-start their careers by taking additional science courses and by shadowing medical workers in hospitals. Rose’s interest in her students went beyond the academic areas of their lives. She held weekly rosary recitations and was a faculty team member on Kairos retreats, where she urged students to live life fully using the song, “I Hope You Dance.” She instilled a sense of service by accompanying students to Appalachia to build homes for the homeless. LOVE: Rose shared her love each day of her life and showed it with her actions as she gave of her heart and time. Her love as an IHM sister manifested itself in the many ways she participated in community life and events. Whether it was working at the Camilla Bazaar, opening Stone Harbor, or being a part of Surfer’s Weekend, her service knew no bounds. She loved her God, Our Blessed Mother, her family, friends, and students. She was a passionate sports fan and loved watching Villanova Basketball, college football and the Eagles. THANKSGIVING: The final word is not “Goodbye.” The final words are “Thank You.” Thank You, Rose, for your vibrant life and selfless giving to countless people throughout your time here. Go now, my friend and “faithful witness,” to your heavenly reward, and “I hope you dance.”

Sister Philip Marie Wendel Died: 9/22/2015 Sister Philip Marie Wendel was born and raised in Lancaster, PA. She had five sisters and one brother, all raised Catholic by a Mennonite mother. Sister Philip attended Lancaster Catholic High School, and recalled, as a young woman, attending a retreat with her aunt at the new IHM Stone Harbor Retreat House. Perhaps it was here that her vocation was realized. Sister Philip made her profession as an IHM sister in 1942. I got to know her well when we lived together at Notre Dame in Florida. It was there, also, that I met her very interesting parents. We came home from school one day to find them there. They had come to “check out” their daughter’s new assignment, arriving with a large bushel of Pennsylvania apples. Needless to say, they were welcomed for many reasons. Her mother became an artist at the age of 60 when she began making beautiful oil paintings for each of her children and grandchildren. She produced more than 100 beautiful landscapes, one of which I am proud to own. Her dad worked for Hamilton Watch Company and made sure his daughter, Sister Philip, had a beautiful wrist watch. Through the years, Sister Philip attained advanced degrees from both Duquesne and Marywood. She taught religion and also worked as a guidance counselor. The community called upon her to be a superior. Through all of these years of ministry, Sister Philip remained very close to her parents and her siblings, traveling all over the country to visit them. Everywhere she went, Philip talked to everybody. She was very well-liked and easy-going. Her last ten years were spent as a resident at Camilla Hall. During this time, she developed memory problems, but she always remained pleasant, and she never missed a meal. The day she died, she had a good meal, after which she complained of not feeling well. That evening she passed away at the age of 94. It was a beautiful life and a beautiful death. She was a good friend, and I miss her greatly.

Sister Emily Wright (S. Dennis Marie) Died: 7/17/2015 Sister Emily Wright was the youngest child in a large family to whom she was greatly devoted. Her father was a milk and bread man in the days when these products were delivered in a horse-drawn wagon. Emmy went to St. Bartholomew Elementary School and then attended St. Hubert High School where she met the IHM’s. From her mother, Emmy learned how to cook and bake, and she became quite an expert. Throughout her life, Emmy brought joy to many people through these gifts. Each year she contributed some of her masterpieces to the Camilla Bazaar. Her cakes always sold out quickly!! Emmy loved working at Stone Harbor in the summer. She could often be found in the Portress Office where she had a ready smile for everyone. She enjoyed a good laugh, and if anyone would comment that she was “right” about something, she would respond, “I’ve been “wright” since I

was born!” Twice, Emmy was missioned at West Catholic. She taught math the first time and worked in the Attendance Office the second. She always had entertaining stories to share, from catching students pretending to be a parent calling themselves in sick, to consoling students who needed a listening ear. One student who was at West during Emmy’s second time there was named Denniemarie. Her mother had been one of Emmy’s math students from her first time at West, and she had named her daughter in honor of Emmy. She was touched and honored by this gesture. Her years at West were very special to her, and she was delighted with a surprise visit from Brother Ed and Brother Richard about a month before her death. She truly treasured that visit. During her last years, Emmy really shared in the cross. She lost many of her loved ones in a short time. As the youngest of a large family, she buried all of her siblings but one. This was extremely hard. She also lost her best friend, Sister John Mary, after a short illness. At the time of her death, she looked forward to meeting her Lord and all of her loved ones in heaven.
