From the Principal
I
n 1609, Mary Ward experienced her “Glory Vision”; a moment in time when she understood distinctly and profoundly that she was at one with the Lord in her life’s mission. But for three patient years thereafter, she prayed for insight and for understanding as to how her calling might come to be. How might her sisters be free to serve the poor? How might they be governed? How might they endure? One can only imagine that these questions and uncertainties would be deeply troubling for most. But for Mary, one has the sense that her profound faith gave her freedom from such anxiety, enabling her to trust that in time, God’s time, the answer would come. And so it did when, in 1611, Mary understood with great and sudden clarity that she was being called to “take the same as the Society”. She was being led to found her order on the same principles as the constitutions for the Jesuits (the Society of Jesus) established by St Ignatius. The Loreto sisters today refer to this as her “take the same” moment and celebrate it as the true beginning of their spiritual foundation. In 2011, we take time to remember this extraordinary moment and to celebrate our Ignatian heritage. Ignatian spirituality is accessible, relevant and practical. Ignatius and Mary Ward were both “contemplatives in action” for whom prayer and active service were inextricably linked: prayer through service and service through prayer. Ignatian spirituality invites us: - to listen to ourselves, to others and to God; - to pay attention to our deepest longings; our genuine hearts’ desires; - to serve others with love and great generosity; and - to seek and find God in all things; in the ordinary and the extraordinary. Let us “take the same”, finding joy and gratitude in simple pleasures and ordinary moments. May we be a community of freedom and joy, finding richness in service and acts of social justice. In the words of Mother Gonzaga Barry ibvm: All around you are possibilities for doing good and making the world richer for your having lived in it. Mrs Cheryl Hamilton
The Year of Felicity This is an edited version of College Captain Emily Poncini’s address at the Inaugural Mass.
A
s we come into the new year of 2011, we once again step up to the challenge of incorporating the values of Mary Ward into our everyday lives. Last year, we gathered to reflect on Mary Ward’s virtue of verity. This year, we celebrate the virtue of felicity. Felicity is attitude of mind, a disposition of the heart which manifests itself in cheerfulness, good humour, joy, happiness, hope, optimism, friendliness, courtesy, positive thinking, inner peace, self-acceptance and courage. At first glance, one can make the assumption that felicity simply means fun; however there is always more than meets the eye. The student leaders of Loreto schools around Australia together wrote this prayer to reflect their understanding of this deep spark within each of us: Lord, in the spirit of FELICITY, may we embrace each day with an open mind, to value ourselves so we can accept others. May we inspire hearts with a humble tongue, to build a community of cheerful givers. May we strive to be women of optimism, peace and joy women of generous hearts. Amen.
To ensure that 2011 is filled with the spirit of felicity, we must focus on what strengthens and unites us. This year we have already experienced devastation and heartache caused by floods that have left Queensland bruised and battered. I am sure that many people here today have felt the destruction of the floods first hand and will continue to for months, even years to come. However, I am also sure that through it all, no one has been alone. I will certainly remember the way Queenslanders have become united to support those in need. I feel privileged to have witnessed the beauty and goodness of people in my own community as they constantly gave of themselves and what they had. Walking through the streets, I saw things that brought tears to my eyes. But then the sound of laughter from someone who had lost everything was enough to stop me and I couldn’t help but be humbled and just marvel at the courage shown by these people. This is what has strengthened us and what will enable us to overcome the desolation we have faced. The spirit of felicity is already in our midst; we need now to harness this and work towards keeping it alive throughout the year. Cont. next page
Be seekers of truth and doers of justice
Felicity is nourished by fun and celebration, by beauty and creativity, by sensitivity to the natural environment and by opportunities for self-expression and for reflection. This means that, as we have done during the flood crisis, we must steer away from acts of self-pity, selfcentredness, undue anxiety, despondency, envy, cynicism, apathy and fanaticism. These acts only weaken and divide us as they push us further away from one another. How can we remain happy, positive and hopeful for the future if we cannot accept ourselves and others? By accepting yourself and truly being who you are, your simple presence will make others happy. Remain cheerful in your everyday duties and give yourself to others with friendliness, good humour and an honest courtesy that enables you to be equals. When times are difficult, look to God to find inner peace and stay optimistic. Do not let the little things get you down. Never make the mistake of thinking you are alone; you are surrounded by family and friends and no matter what, God will not leave your side. It is when all of this falls into place that we are able to enjoy ourselves, have fun and celebrate in the spirit of Felicity. Someone once gave me this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. This is the image I leave you with today. Challenge yourself to make the most of what this year throws at you. Have the courage to take a leap of faith; have the hope to believe in yourself and in your dreams; have the self-acceptance and inner peace to be your true self; and have the joy to share this with others. Share the spirit of Felicity.
Mrs Cheryl Hamilton Inducted as Principal of Loreto Coorparoo D
uring the Inaugural Mass on 3rd February 2011, Mrs Cheryl Hamilton was inducted as the second lay principal of Loreto College Coorparoo and welcomed home to the Coorparoo community. Mrs Hamilton and her husband Ian’s move to Brisbane was somewhat disrupted by the flooding that occurred in Brisbane during January. Whilst still in the midst of un-packing, they were forced to evacuate their building which was expected to be affected by flooding. Fortunately, this did not occur, but Mrs Hamilton was heard to joke rather despairingly, “Well, my maiden name was Fludder!” While the College itself was not directly affected by the floods, its internet/ email service provider was located in the basement of a building on the banks of the river in the Brisbane CBD which was completely inundated, leading to several days of electronic isolation. Despite this rather trying start, Mrs Hamilton settled quickly into her role as Principal and the wonderful gifts she brings to the Coorparoo community were soon evident: her experience and dedication, her compassionate and insightful response to the needs of others and her clarity and skill in administration and planning.

Loreto Sisters Announce New Provincial Leader M
argaret Mary Flynn ibvm was appointed in January this year as Provincial Leader, Loreto Sisters Australia. Her previous role was as CEO of CentraCare in WilcanniaForbes, the largest and poorest diocese in NSW. She has worked tirelessly to improve the quality of life in rural and indigenous communities and has been successful in lobbying government to provide significant funding for remote rural areas of NSW. Margaret Mary was chosen as the new provincial leader following a detailed selection process. Sisters were asked to consider who had the gifts, skills and experience to lead the Loreto Sisters and be responsible for the overall mission
2 – Loreto Chronicle
of the province. Nominations were sent to the Loreto International Leadership Council (based in Rome) who then made a decision following prayerful discernment, extensive consultation and interviews. Christine Burke ibvm, current provincial leader said, “Margaret Mary is recognised as an innovative and creative leader and will bring with her to the Loreto Centre and its entire works, an enviable insight into the issues facing rural Australians, as well as her many gifts in administration, counselling and spirituality. We are indeed blessed that she has accepted this new call.” Margaret Mary said that leaving her role at CentaCare was a difficult decision but one reached with a sense of inner peace. She said, “I will miss the wonderful team,
the beauty of this amazing country, and the opportunities for creating innovative responses to the many issues we face out here. It was a very difficult decision, but we have a gift in our Ignatian spirituality which guides us in moments of discernment. One of the fundamental things to listen to is our inner sense of peace or disturbance. Where there is a deep sense of peace surrounding a particular decision, we believe the Spirit is in it. This is how it was and is for me.” At the end of May, Margaret Mary facilitated an institute-wide meeting Toronto for key individuals engaged in Loreto educational governance; justice, peace and integrity of creation; Mary Ward International and formation ministries. She will begin her sixyear term as provincial leader in July.
Ignatian Spirituality at the Heart of Mary Ward’s Institute A
ll religious congregations have a particular way of expressing and applying the spirituality of the Gospel to their lives. Spirituality is about how we live, see and experience God’s presence. Three significant moments in the spiritual journey of Mary Ward were the founding experiences of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Loreto Sisters) and shaped their particular spiritual identity. These experiences are commonly called: - The ‘Glory Vision’ (1609) - The Inspiration to take the Ignatian way of life (1611) - The ‘Just Soul’ experience (1615) with its emphasis on right relationships, integrity and the freedom to refer all to God.
A ‘graffiti art’ version of the familiar traditional painting of Mary Ward was presented to Mrs Hamilton by the Marryatville community and now hangs in the foyer of Loreto Coorparoo
In 2009, the Loreto Sisters celebrated the 400th anniversary of the foundation of their Institute with particular reference to the Glory Vision event, where Mary Ward received a profound insight that she was to follow her heart and establish a new way of living out the call to serve God. However, this moment was the beginning of a journey of discernment and discovery rather than an end point where all was finalized and clear. In 2011, we remember Mary Ward’s second important insight: to adopt the
spirituality and way of life expressed in the constitutions of the Society of Jesus and founded on the teachings of St Ignatius. I heard distinctly, not by sound of voice, but intellectually understood, these words: ‘Take the same of the Society’… These few words gave me so much light in that particular Institute, so much comfort and strength, and so changed my whole soul, that it was impossible for me to doubt that they came from Him whose words are works. Mary Ward (1585-1635) Mary Ward’s spirituality was shaped by the Ignatian model of “contemplation in action”. The key concepts of her spirituality are that in everything we: - work for the greater glory of God; - seek and find God in all things; - work to be “wholly God’s”; - refer everything to God; - be contemplatives in action.
New Loreto Australia website I
n early June this year, the Loreto Sisters launched their new website aimed at the larger networks of sisters, supporters, colleagues and friends, without whom many Loreto projects would not be possible. The new website is a fresh and modern take on the work of Loreto Australia. It represents a progressive and global movement of individuals all committed to working together to bring the gospel to life by promoting dignity, advocating for women and children, challenging unjust systems and educating for the future. Outgoing Provincial Leader, Christine Burke ibvm said, “It is wonderful that this website is now up and running. It has been a long journey, with meticulous work being done by all concerned. If it helps people in our wide circle of friends to be in touch
with what is happening, but also to tap into something of the spirituality that keeps us alert to God’s presence and challenge in our lives, it will have succeeded in its purpose…” The spirituality of the Loreto Sisters permeates the entire website with beautiful imagery by Susan Daily ibvm, vivid photos of and stories about sisters, volunteers and colleagues in action, and quotes to bring the stories to life. Galleries and timelines including Mary Ward’s life, the history of Loreto in Australia and ‘The Painted Life’ all help to paint the picture of Loreto past and present. An online archival search tool provides students, historians, genealogists and friends of Loreto with an insight into the rich historical holdings of the Loreto Province Archives in Ballarat.
An emphasis on Mary Ward International, volunteering, partnerships, getting involved and Loreto community encourages individuals to engage with the Loreto Sisters, a key strategy in the continuation of Mary Ward’s work in the future. Go to www.loreto.org.au to explore the new website.

Mission Day One of the most loved traditions at Loreto Coorparoo is Mission Day – a wonderful day of fun, food, song, dance and spirit. This year, over $8000 was raised which will go to support Mary Ward International and Catholic Missions, particularly St Anthony’s Orphanage in Zambia. Thank you to parents who generously provide extra pocket money to support a good cause. Congratulations to staff and students whose preparation and participation make the day such a success. Special mention must be made of our Year 12 girls who prepare and conduct many of the key activities; their hard work, generosity and creativity are simply wonderful!

Accolades for Loreto Guitar Ensemble Guitar Ensemble 1 with Conductor Dr Paul Svoboda and internationally acclaimed guitarist Karin Schaupp. This Ensemble will also be featured in an up-coming ‘Totally Wild’ program
Opportunity of a Lifetime for Guitar Ensemble O
n 29th and 30th of April, the thirty-seven members of Loreto’s Guitar Ensemble 1 had the privilege of performing with world renowned artists, guitarist Karin Schaupp and singer Katie Noonan, at their two concerts at the Brisbane Powerhouse. After travelling to Perth to adjudicate at the Western Australian International Classical Guitar Ensemble Festival last year, Karin Schaupp was astonished by the girls’ performance there, exclaiming, “You are in a class of your own”. Guitar has tended to be a male-dominated instrument and Karin was particularly delighted to see an advanced group of almost forty girls. When the opportunity arose for the ensemble to feature in Karin and Katie’s two Powerhouse concerts, the girls were ecstatic. After weeks of hard work preparing two pieces – Aurora and The Green Glens of Gweedor – the big night finally arrived. As the girls entered the blue lit stage, anticipation was thick in the air. This was it! Our hearts raced with nerves and excitement; then Dr Svoboda smiled at us all, raised his baton and closed his eyes. We played like never before; the atmosphere driving our Ensemble to new heights. A big thank you must go to all the people, in particular Dr Svoboda and Mr Langford, who made this experience possible. The chance to perform alongside Karin and Katie was truly an honour. It was an amazing opportunity; an experience we are immensely grateful for and will treasure for many years to come. Thank you!

Parents & Friends’ Student Dance – Opposites attract!
Energy, creativity and friendship combine at a fun-filled Student Dance
T
he Loreto Parents & Friends’ Association is a small, but energetic group of parents committed to supporting their daughters’ education and well-being by organizing events that strengthen the bonds within our community. The Association meets on the first Tuesday of each month to plan events and activities and to hear about and make comment on various aspects of school life. This year, Ms Louise Tilly, Languages Coordinator, reported on the Exchange Trip to France at the end of 2010 and Mr Gavin Swanson, Deputy Principal – ICT, discussed plans for the provision and development of ICT within the College. On previous occasions, there have been presentations and discussions on cybersafety, sporting opportunities, learning support, career education and vocational education. Members of the P & F play a vital role in providing feedback to the Principal and Administration Team on both new initiatives and traditional procedures. Meetings are a forum for raising concerns as well as for affirming College policies and practices. The P & F organizes a range of social events where parents can form friendships and support each other in the joys and trials of being the parent of a teenage girl! These opportunities to welcome new families and to strengthen and celebrate connections are a wonderful gift to the whole community. The P & F also raises funds which are used to enhance the facilities and resources of the College and, ultimately, the education of our students. Every family is asked to pay the P & F Levy with their fees each Term and the Student Dance also raises considerable funds. This year, these funds are being used to install ‘super-size’ fans in the Mary Ward Centre and so make some of our large school gatherings more comfortable. Funds raised from the raffle associated with the Parent Dinner Dance in May were generously donated to the College’s flood relief appeal. We are most grateful for the hard work and commitment of the executive, year level representatives and members of the P & F Association. The executive for 2011 is President

Loreto Connections through Four Generations Laurel Chan (2007) during her time at Loreto Sealdah
Volunteering in India A
t the end of 2010, I went on a trip to Kolkata, India, where I spent four weeks volunteering at Loreto Sealdah. This trip came about because I wanted to do some sort of volunteering in a different country. I suddenly remembered Sister Cyril, who came to Loreto when I was in Year 10 and, an email later, I was warmly invited to volunteer at Loreto Sealdah. Sister Cyril is a Loreto nun from Ireland and her mission in Kolkata is to provide equal opportunities for both poor and rich girls to access quality education. Loreto Sealdah is a well-known school in Kolkata. Half of the girls pay fees, whereas the other half can attend school for free and receive all their uniforms and school materials for free. In this way, the rich and the poor mix and the girls get to know each other for who they are, rather than how much money their families have. One of the main features of Loreto Sealdah is the “Rainbow Home”. This is the top level of the main building which serves as a home for a few hundred girls who would otherwise have to live on the streets – here they are provided with a safe and warm place to sleep and three meals a day. During the four weeks that I was at Loreto Sealdah, I met three other Loreto girls – two from Loreto Toorak and one from a Loreto College in England. Sharing the experience with other Loreto girls from different parts of the world was so amazing. I found out that I was a part of a huge community and it was interesting to discover how similar our education had been – we had all learnt about Mary Ward and the qualities of Freedom, Justice, Sincerity, Verity and Felicity. It is so difficult to sum up my time in Kolkata, but it was a very rich experience where I learnt a bit about the Indian culture, enjoyed the company of the other Loreto girls and learnt a whole lot more about myself!

T
he sad death earlier this year of Mary Willis (Smith), aged 90 years, prompted her daughter Judy Quinn (Willis) to explore the many Loreto connections in her mother’s life. She writes: I’ve been checking a few details about Mum, particularly her involvement with Loreto. Mum attended Loreto Mandeville Hall in Melbourne, matriculating in 1937. She was also a prefect. Her mother Kathleen Mongovan (1892-1938) and grandmother Margaret Brophy (1864-1913) attended Mary’s Mount in Ballarat. To add to the connections, Margaret Brophy’s sister Ellen became Mother Joseph Peter IBVM, and Mum’s cousin Mary O’Malley (1911-2004) became Sister Mary Sylvester IBVM. Of course, Mum’s five children (Kate, Anne, Mary, Judy and Rob) all attended Loreto Coorparoo, including Rob until Grade 4. The long involvement Mum’s family have had with Loreto is quite amazing and probably unlikely to be repeated with more mobile families these days.
