Ursuline Associate Update

Sister Cheryl Clemons to present “From Incarnation to Eucharist” on Associates and Sisters Day

By Dan Heckel, OSUA (MSJ Staff)

With the nation’s bishops working on a multi-year National Eucharistic Revival, the Associate Advisory Board wanted someone who could speak at Associates and Sisters Day on both Saint Angela and the importance of the Eucharist.

Fortunately, Sister Cheryl Clemons said “yes.”

Sister Cheryl will speak on “From Incarnation to Eucharist,” as the first part of her talk on June 24, 2023. Following prayer, silent reflection and group sharing, she will discuss “Living a Eucharistic Life.” Within that, she will offer insights into Saint Angela’s

thoughts on the importance of the Eucharist.

“Angela doesn’t say a lot about the Eucharist, but she became a Third Order Franciscan so she could attend Mass more frequently and take Communion,”

Sister Cheryl said.

In Chapter 6 of her Rule, Angela urged her daughters to attend Mass daily. “Indeed, this will be a communion in spirit,” she said. In Chapter 7, she urged the community to attend Mass together.

“And then, every first Friday of the month, they will gather in this church and there, all together, receive communion from this same father.”

In the testimonies after Saint Angela died, people said that she spent four to five hours a day in church, going to multiple Masses, Sister Cheryl said.

Sister Cheryl will also discuss Saint Mère

Marie of the Incarnation, the first Ursuline Sister to serve in North America, who was one of the great Eucharistic mystics.

The first part of Sister Cheryl’s talk will focus on our understanding that all life comes from the Trinity. “It left the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist,” she said.

The second talk, “Living a Eucharistic Life,” will include ways to be intentional about preparing to receive the Eucharist, Sister Cheryl said.

“Henri Nouwen talked about the four verbs always associated with Jesus and bread – taken, blessed, broken, and given,” she said. “We become the body of Christ when we receive the Eucharist. The Last Supper was a culmination of all of Jesus’ meal ministry.”

Receiving the Eucharist is becoming Jesus, Sister Cheryl said.

“The point of the Eucharist is so we can live like Jesus,” she said. “That’s the Christian call, live like Jesus – taken, blessed, broken and given.”

Her talk and reflection time will lead into lunch. In the afternoon, we will honor the 40th anniversary of the Associate program with some of the responses to “How has my life changed since I became an Ursuline Associate.”

Eight Ursuline Associates attended an Introduction to Centering Prayer program on Feb. 27 at Precious Blood Parish in Owensboro, Ky. Five Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph also attended, including Sisters Martha Keller and Rosanne Spalding who helped plan the event along with Associate Maryann Joyce.

From the Associate Office...

Happy Spring!

Can you believe that June is coming upon us so quickly, and Associates and Sisters Day will soon be here! I am getting so excited about seeing everyone again and hearing Sister Cheryl Clemons speak. I always love hearing her retreats, she is so knowledgeable. We have a few candidates who will be making their commitment this year, and we are very excited about their joining as new Associates.

I want to thank those Associates who sent in a response to the question asked in the February Update, “How has my life changed since I became an Ursuline Associate?” I want to ask you again to think on this question and send a response, so we have an idea of how your life has changed since you became an Associate. I know my life has changed for the better and I find myself doing more things in my community. Knowing that I am doing this as an Ursuline Associate gives me a sense of pride.

Again, I look forward to seeing you all on June 24 for Associates and Sisters Day. I am sure it will be a very uplifting day.

See you then!

Dear Friends,

As I have imagined what I was supposed to be saying in this letter and have reflected on its possible content, I was distracted a bit by the sounds and sights of the massive excavating equipment out here at Mount Saint Joseph as we began the deconstruction of our Academy and Conference and Retreat Center.

As I watched, the giant articulated metal arm and claw reached across what had been the Madonna Room and grasped an entire wall and – seemingly ever so gently –simply pulled it away from its foundation and toppled it onto the rubble heap. “How easily it is destroyed,” I lamented. But as I looked again, I realized that much of the interior framework still remained and would take a more concerted effort to bring down. There was strength in the old lady yet.

So how does this relate to the Associates? Well, for almost 150 years, the interior structure, the foundation of the Academy and Center, was hidden from view, doing its work without particular notice. We Ursulines celebrated the “miracle bricks” we could see that provided the visible face of the Academy and, later, the Center; but so much more, not necessarily visible, was happening inside – both structurally and spiritually.

The Associates of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph have reached their 40th year, and will celebrate this “ruby” anniversary at Associates and Sisters Day this June, with a keynote address from Sister Cheryl Clemons –“From Incarnation to Eucharist: Living a Eucharistic Life” –which will remind us of our interior foundations.

Over these 40 years, the outer face – the appearance and shape of the Associates – has changed. Perhaps bits and pieces of this façade have fallen away or gained a radically different shape; the numbers, the locations, the practices of many Associates are different now than when we first began 40 years ago. But the interior structure of the Associate heart and the Associate program retains its original manifestation – focused on the teachings and mission of Saint Angela to share the love of Christ throughout our lives. Both change and stability.

May we move forward daily embracing the fluidity of change and life around us, while celebrating the constancy of the deep structure and life within. May we cherish both.

Blessings of peace,

Sister Sharon Sullivan, OSU

Memorial bricks from the Academy/Retreat Center available Associates Day

Associates and Sisters Day will be an opportunity for anyone who would like to preserve a piece of Mount Saint Joseph history by donating to the Ursuline Sisters to secure one of the “miracle bricks” that Father Paul Joseph Volk created to build Mount Saint Joseph Academy in 1874.

The bricks — now 149 years old — began to disintegrate in recent years, making the original building and its additions unsafe. Demolition of the buildings is underway, but before the deconstruction of the 1874 building, 500 bricks were saved for posterity.

For a suggested donation of $25, a brick will be reserved in your name. There will be other designated days in the summer of 2023 when the bricks can be picked up, but Associates and Sisters Day is the first opportunity. The bricks will not be shipped, they must be picked up in person. Each person may order a maximum of three bricks. The bricks will come with a certificate of authenticity.

You can secure a brick by writing a check to the Ursuline Sisters and mailing it to:

Academy Brick

8001 Cummings Road Maple Mount, KY 42356

Or you can make your donation online at: https://ursulinesmsj.org/mount-brick/

Renee Schultz expands students’ minds, hearts

By Joanne Thompson, OSUA

Renee Schultz works as a full-time campus minister at Cristo Rey, a Catholic school in the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. Previously, she spent 10 years as a campus minister at Bishop Miege High School, in Mission, Kan.

“High school is a crossroads in the lives of teenagers – mentally and emotionally mature enough to make their own choices of the faith,” Renee said. “If they have questions, I can provide a safe space for them.”

Renee is modest about taking any credit for inspiring students and working with Water With Blessings. While at Bishop Miege, Schultz invited Sister Larraine Lauter to share information on her Water With Blessings ministry. One student was so touched, she did a fundraiser for the people of Honduras.

It changed students by “brightening their worldview and helped them to see the needs around the world,” Renee said. “I like to empower young people to know that they can make a difference.”

Renee experienced a proud moment this year at Cristo Rey when her students partnered with the KC Welcome Alliance to welcome a group of asylum seekers from Mexico to Kansas City. The students helped with English/Spanish translations, and helped the refugees with English by making flash cards and welcoming them. They gave from their hearts. Some of the students are from families who immigrated to America, and they wanted to give back.

Renee and I witnessed Saint Angela’s influence at work at one of our Ursuline Associate gatherings. Renee expressed the need to find saints of color for role models at her culturally diverse school. I shared that ValLimar Jansen was traveling and giving presentations for sainthood for four Servants of God. Jansen is a highly regarded singer, composer, recording artist, university professor, worship and prayer leader, and workshop presenter across the United States.

Renee wasn’t satisfied looking at the YouTube video. She decided to contact Jansen and arranged for Cristo Rey to partner with two other Catholic high schools in the Kansas City area – St. Thomas

Aquinas and Bishop Miege – to have her come to their schools as a part of Catholic Schools Week and to kick off Black History Month.

As Jansen explained the lives of the nominees for sainthood who were people of color, and who rose to societal challenges as people of faith, I was able to witness the change in demeanor of the student body to engagement and excitement. There was Renee smiling and clapping and inviting the young people around her to participate and shout for joy. Tears flowed with joy as I witnessed the Holy Spirit in action.

Jansen’s presentation also offered healing. The student body and faculty of one school were hurting from a racially biased post about other students that occurred earlier in the year. Jansen explained to the student body why it hurts. As a representative of the African American Black Catholic Congress, she helped to form a healing moment for the community.

For Renee, meeting together with Ursuline Associates helped bring about these experiences. “It matters that we meet and share,” she said. For me, it was as Saint Angela advised, “Do something, get moving, risk new things, stick with it, get on your knees, then be ready for big surprises.”

Since Renee has become an active member of our Ursuline Associate group, I am truly amazed by what an Associate can do. Her spirit and passion uplifts and motivates us all. And when the big surprises happen, I am not surprised at all.n

Belonging to each other

Occasionally, a bird finds its way into the Motherhouse Chapel when the community is gathered for prayer. It’s hard to helplessly watch as it crashes into the stained-glass windows as it tries to find a way out. And then there’s the collective groan from all of us when the bird just misses getting though the door held open by a brave Sister.

You might be as surprised as I was to learn a bird’s brain and a human brain are more similar than we previously thought. It’s nice to know “bird brain” is now considered a compliment. When I was in high school, my family began to trade books with each other. A book recommended by my father on birdwatching quickly went back on the shelf once my brother introduced me to a particularly good outdoor adventure writer. I became slightly obsessed with articles on the behavior of experienced adventurers who found themselves lost in the wilderness or at sea. Recently revisiting my obsession, I read an article claiming that day-hikers who are seriously lost in a forest tend to walk in circles. The hikers believe they are on an exit route but are actually just moving in circles like the confused bird trapped in our chapel.

As many of you who reflect on the daily scriptural readings know, there are a number of lectionary readings that deal with entrapment and imprisonment in the final weeks leading up to Holy Week. There is the ensnarement of Queen Esther, a foreigner, married to a despot and left without protection or influence; Susanna, harassed and trapped by men of power, and the woman taken in adultery as part of a malicious plan. As the danger closes in, there is the sense they are further removed from the community. Queen Esther cries out in her famous prayer, “Help me, who am alone and have no help but you.” The reader becomes aware that these women are far from alone. The people have fasted for the restoration of Queen Esther; the young Daniel arrives to vindicate Susanna; and Jesus springs the trap that sets the woman free from the plot to stone her.

Reading these Scriptural narratives through the lens of community, we acknowledge the larger sense of belonging to each other. The hikers most likely to get lost are alone on the trails. And how does a trapped bird escape alive without a door held open and a community cheering that it will follow the light to freedom?

Something to Consider

The attentiveness to the presence of God dwelling in the heart is a practice we often find in the lives of the Saints. While Saint Angela stressed this encounter with the Divine, her prayer always led her to “bring others into the divine embrace.”

Question: In my encounters and relations, do I offer heartfelt availability to people?

What makes you happy?

By Carol Braden-Clarke, Director of Development

In 1938, Harvard researchers began an 85-year study of what makes people happy. They surveyed people worldwide every two years and found that positive relationships are the key to happiness. I see evidence of positive relationships each year at Associates and Sisters Day. It is great to see the smiles and the hugs as people gather with friends and Sisters. It is touching to see the genuine care people have for one another. If there are people who make you happy or who you care about, consider sending them Kindness cards. For $50, we will send a monthly card for one year with an inspirational message, words of encouragement or just a laugh to someone you care about. Watch our Facebook page or go to our website for more details. Another opportunity to gather with friends or family, or make some new friends, is on Sunday, Sept. 10, for Quilt Bingo. At the conclusion we will have the 53rd Mount Raffle drawing with the grand prize of $10,000. Tickets will go on sale for $5 a chance. Your support makes us happy to see how much the Sisters have made a difference in your lives.

We would all rather meet in person, and we are encouraged that some of our groups are doing that again. But we also know that there are limitations for some of our Associates ever getting to meet with others in person. Some people don’t drive at night, some live too far away to join a group, and there are many other reasons why attending meetings is a struggle.

That’s why we are bringing back a chance to gather online via Zoom. We’re hoping that since it’s a choice – and not the only option – this will appeal to some of our Associates and perhaps some of the Ursuline Sisters as well. We all are energized by sharing our focus on Saint Angela and the Ursuline mission.

Is this the best time to meet? We hope you’ll let us know. Nothing is written in stone, so we can always change the time for future meetings.

We want to encourage all of our Associates to continue gathering in person, but this is a monthly opportunity for those who don’t have that chance.

EVELINA SALAS, 91, a member of the founding group of Casa Ursulina, died in Chillán, Chile, on March 5. Throughout her life, Evelina was an active presence in her neighborhood of Tejar. She organized women’s groups for obtaining government benefits for the needy – funds for repairing roofs, or ramps for wheelchairs. She was influential in contacting immigrants. She reached out to everyone and inspired everyone, especially young people. Sister Mimi Ballard remembers that “Evie learned Tai Chi at Casa Ursulina and – at age 80 – was teaching it to her neighbors. She participated at Casa Ursulina as long as she could.” Evelina’s survivors include her daughter Pilar, three sons, nine grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. In a published tribute, Virginia Bruna Contreras – a teacher and friend –remembers Evelina as “a tireless fighter for social justice,” whose “convictions were brought to fruition without her raising the tone of her voice.”
