About this issue . . .

S

pring has sprung and many transformations are under way. Our Spring edition is all about change — bidding farewell to old, beloved spaces and places, and welcoming new surroundings, new opportunities, new technologies. The change starts at home with the Loretto Development Office. We’re doing our own form of “spring cleaning” by enlisting our magazine recipients’ help in providing us with accurate information. The goal: To build the most up-to-date, error-free mailing list possible. See details on page 4.

Havern School, a Loretto-founded school for learning-disabled children, has reached its 50th year, and the celebrations are on! Havern is one of a handful of private schools in the U.S. that help these children via superb, individualized education and enrichment programs, page 5. Loretto also says goodbye to its beloved, historic Loretto Center, St. Louis, which is closing this year. Because of the personal history so many Community members have with the St. Louis Center, this farewell is especially poignant for everyone involved, page 11.

Finally, a major technology upgrade project at Loretto Motherhouse will vastly improve the Community’s ability to communicate with members throughout the U.S. and the world. Loretto can cut down on travel costs with the enhanced ability to hold meetings using high-quality, interactive video in real time. Anyone living or visiting at the Motherhouse will be able to use all modern devices they would find in any city — and at lightning speeds, page 8.

As

we traveled on our Lenten pilgrimage this year, we were united with the multiplicity of Christians who have consciously followed in the footsteps of Christ for more than 2,000 years. We also experienced anew a deep gratitude for the gift of faith that enlivens our journey through the life-death-renewal-life cycle.

Our pilgrimage intensified as we shared that journey in “abounding kindness and fidelity”* with the 68 million global refugees and immigrants seeking compassionate asylum in Europe and the United States. We also walked with those uncountable deportees currently targeted in our country. As we now contemplate the anguish of families torn apart and children abandoned in streets throughout the world, we must turn to the God of compassion in prayer and listen intently to the whisperings of the Spirit within and among us.

But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

Psalm 86:15 (NIV Bible)

Believers in the Resurrected Christ walking among us and leading us forward, we are called to mirror God’s love for all creation. We are witnessing again the budding of spring in nature; that same renewal of God’s love and compassion within ourselves is being offered to us. May the Risen Christ live anew within us as a community of faith!

Havern School celebrates 50th anniversary

By Cathy M. Pasquariello, M.Ed. Head of School

O

n a beautiful, warm, late summer morning, Havern School opened its doors to the first 24 students. There were nine faculty and staff members. The date was Mon., Sept. 12, 1966. The place was Littleton, Colo. The students were ages 5 through 12 years, and many of them had been referred to the school through The Children’s Hospital in Denver. Celine Marie DeSmet SL served as the school’s first principal.

Three years earlier, Sisters Barbara Schulte, Dorothy Hurley, Brigid Mary Toolen and Patricia Mary Miller received training at Syracuse University under the direction of Dr. William Cruickshank, a specialist in the field of educating children with “perceptual disabilities.” Sisters Barbara and Dorothy continued for another year of internship at Pathway School in Norristown,

Pa., teaching learning-disabled children. They returned to Denver, and in 1966 Havern School opened with Barbara and Dorothy on staff. “Havern” is the namesake of Ann (Nancy) Havern SL, one of the founding Sisters of Loretto and a pioneer educator in rural Kentucky. Although the school is secular today, we continue to share the beautiful grounds of Loretto Center with the Sisters of Loretto in Littleton.

After 50 years of continuing service, Havern School has established a legacy of successfully meeting the educational needs of children with learning disabilities. We are excitedly looking forward to the next 50 years and continuing to create bright futures for generations of children still to come.

Havern School’s 50th Anniversary celebration activities began in the fall of the 2016-2017 school year and will culminate with a 50th Anniversary Gala at the History Colorado Center on May 6.

There is much to celebrate. Havern is now a K-8 school with an average annual student enrollment of 85 students. Over the past 50 years, more than 1,200 students have persevered to complete eighth grade.

Recently, all students completing eighth grade went on to graduate from high school as seniors in 2014 and 2015.

Wired up ... fired up!

Long race to overhaul information technology at Loretto Motherhouse nears finish line

By Carolyn Dunbar, with Nicole Martinez

I

t’s no easy feat to bring the latest in communications technology to a place many miles from any metropolis. Yet it can be done, is being done, and, oh by the way, “It’s a wise investment,” said Maria Visse SL, a key leader in the Motherhouse planning group that undertook the project four years ago.

The Loretto Motherhouse, established in 1824, sits on 788 acres of prime farmland in Marion County, Ky. Today, a stroll around the lakes and through the wildflower fields, woods, croplands, pastures and rolling hills covered with native Kentucky grasses can evoke those early days when life was slower, quieter.

Outwardly, the Motherhouse campus has changed little since yesteryear, and peace and quiet are still easily found; well-loved, permanent retreat centers dot the property.

Yet, the Motherhouse is a lively place, including a working farm for cattle and crops, a permanent residence peopled

by Community members and friends, a gathering place for the wider public to enjoy musical concerts, events and Kentucky traditions. It’s a center for fine art, an award-winning historical archive and heritage museum, and licensed care facility for aging Loretto members and friends. The entire campus employs 154 staff in varying capacities said Visse.

The Motherhouse, while located in a rural setting, has had computer technology, Internet service and digital phone service for a long time. But the systems are

8 • Loretto Magazine

aging, and demand for more bandwidth is steadily increasing at exponential rates.

“This [project] in a sense started sort of simple,” said Visse. “We’ve seen a real change in the Community over the past five years, with a number of Sisters coming in from an urban situation. People were accustomed to other possibilities for TV. Some of the Sisters asked for more TV channels than we had available at the time.

In an attempt to meet those requests, we began a conversation with a representative from Time Warner Cable out of Lexington, Ky., to provide high-speed Internet, phone and digital TV services.”

“That was four years ago,” said Visse.

“So from this simple request, then it mushroomed.” The goal was to put an improved Internet system in place with a new network infrastructure that would deliver digital phone, cable television and wireless service on a par with what is available in cities for residences and businesses.

A planning group from the Motherhouse, working with the Loretto Communications-Technology (CT) Team, helped to bring these efforts to fruition, according to an April 2016 article published on the Loretto Community website. The group included Maria Visse SL, Eileen Custy SL, Brittany Edelen, Joey Edelen, Michelle Essex, and Peg Jacobs CoL. Assisting them in this effort were Motherhouse information technology

project consultant Matt Monsour, brokerprovider David Stegall and CT Team members Jean Schildz, Nicole Martinez and Rebecca Sallee Hanson.

The website article said that after a lengthy evaluation process, the group came to consensus on how best to proceed. The Loretto Finance Committee performed its due-diligence regarding several bids and contracts for the work.

So why has it taken so long?

According to Maria Visse and Matt Monsour, the entire project was to be up and running last September. The “deliverables” from the cable company Charter Spectrum (formerly Time Warner Cable) are still two months out at magazine press time. The campus infrastructure, however, over which Monsour has had a general contractor role, is effectively complete, he said. “Over the years the wiring has been piecemealed together of necessity. I have helped coordinate the transition from the older network to the new network.”

Monsour has worked closely with Joey Edelen, head of maintenance at the Motherhouse, and they both have put in considerable “sweat equity” in the installation work. Monsour’s role has also been to coordinate subcontractors and their work schedules, to inspect and verify that all infrastructure changes have fulfilled the original specifications on the contracts.

Fourteen buildings on the Motherhouse campus have received new wiring and patch-panel cabinetry, which protects the wires and their connectors. Many of the buildings are nearly 150 years old or older, so care had to be taken when drilling through brick and into inside walls. Wiring conduits were snaked vertically up to weatherheads at the top, allowing wires to enter the buildings while blocking rain and moisture. Tall metal poles were

installed throughout the campus so outdoor wiring could be attached on its way to the various buildings.

Outdoor wiring is protected by thick orange tubing, called innerduct. Indoor fiber-optic wiring is covered in a metal outer shield to protect it from damage, according to Monsour.

To achieve fast, stable and reliable Internet, phone, cable TV and Wi-Fi service, it’s all about the speed information can travel, said Monsour. “Transmission speed is measured in megabits per second,” he said. The old Motherhouse network connection ran across four T1 lines. Each of those could carry digital information at the speed of 1.544 MB per second. The combined speed of the old network was 6 MB per second. The new network will run at 100 MB per second. “This is going to help Motherhouse residents stay in touch with family and friends, and make video conferencing and television reception more stable and of better quality,” he said.

Wi-Fi service is separate from the new network, Monsour explained. “It requires separate access points that typically hang from the ceiling. Wi-Fi is a big part of this project. Forty different wireless access points have been installed in 14 buildings” to expand and strengthen coverage for users to connect their cell phones, laptops and various devices to the Internet without plugging them into the hard-wired network.

several miles of cable and changes to the technical/physical infrastructure now under way by Charter Spectrum.

“One of the interesting things for me about the Loretto project – what’s really cool – I’m getting to build a very large network from scratch,” Monsour said. “Loretto had a piecemeal network, and they wanted a new network from the ground up. It’s unheard of to get to build a new network this size. Usually you use the old stuff and make concessions. Most people who do what I do never get to build a big network like this. I enjoy having all the pieces and parts come together. All the wires are in place, they’re beautiful and they’re all going in the same direction!” he said.

Further complicating the process is that the utility poles Charter Spectrum needs are owned by Kentucky Utilities. Changes have occurred at KU, and some new people now onboard were unfamiliar with the Loretto Motherhouse project.

They have, perhaps inadvertently, held up access to the utility poles, according to Monsour.

Obstacles to completion

As with many large infrastructure projects, twists and turns cause delays. One of the hang-ups has been the lack of available services from key providers for cable and Internet to Marion County and other rural counties in Kentucky. The providers are now busy laying basic cabling to the rural areas that have never had it. This involves 10 • Loretto Magazine

“Our relationship with Time Warner Spectrum has been difficult and frustrating,” Visse explained. “We are a business account, not a personal, residential account. A company you have contracted with in good faith is suddenly bought out by another company, which does not offer all of your original requests that were available from the first company.

What do you do?” asked Visse. “What if the new company is so swamped with work that they slowly drift out of contact with you and are unresponsive to your attempts to reach them?”

Indoor fiberoptic cable is bundled in metal shielding, which is then covered in blue plastic to identify it.

Thoughtfully, Visse observed, “What it has been is a waiting game.” She was quick to say that the Motherhouse infrastructure project is on schedule. “The techs installed the system within the Motherhouse. They moved pretty much on schedule to get all wiring in the right place, servers, boxes, wires and pipes where needed. Internet service is available; all the wireless connections are in place and working.”

Visse and Eileen Custy understand and commiserate with the frustration the Motherhouse Community feels.

“Congratulations to the people for their patience, especially those who made the choice to come to the Motherhouse from an urban setting,” Visse said. “The move means many changes in their lives.”

Improvements have been a long time coming, but the value to residents and members who come to the Motherhouse to work and meet together is high, and the system will soon be complete, said Visse.

Loretto Center in St. Louis closes after more than a century ... ... with ceremony, worship and ... delight in all schools old and new, remembrance of many gatherings, homage to current residents, sorrow at letting go, leaving home, and joy at the prospect of new life

By Annie Stevens SL

Above: Lockwood House,1940; at that time the two wings had been added. The wing on the right was built as the original chapel, used by Loretto members and students.

The Loretto Center in St. Louis, often called

“590” for its street number, is situated on the historic Lockwood estate, next to Nerinx Hall High School, in Webster Groves, Mo. For more than a century, Loretto has made this place a “holy ground” for mission.

1853: Captain Richard J. Lockwood built a white frame summer home for his family in the village of Webster Groves.

His estate included the present Loretto Center property. Because of the many fruit trees he planted, the nearby railroad station was named “Old Orchard.” The Lockwoods were founding members of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, donating land for the church in 1867. When Catholic families moved to the area in 1886, they were invited to use the front parlor of the Lockwood home for worship services until Holy Redeemer church was built.

1898: Loretto presence in Webster Groves dates from 1898, when the Loretto Seminary for Young Ladies was established one block west of the Lockwood home, on the old B. F. Webster homestead at 470 East Lockwood Avenue (present site of Webster Hall, Webster University). Sisters of Loretto also taught in the Holy Redeemer parish school across the street. After a fire destroyed the seminary building in 1905, a few Sisters remained in a small outer building they called “The Shack” and continued teaching at the parish school until 1909. In the fall of 1915, Loretto broke ground for the first Catholic college for women west of the Mississippi. During its first few years, Loretto College also included primary and high school students.

he 1961 program of the opening of the Loretto House of Studies, which is part of the St. Louis Loretto Center today, gives details of the the magnificent floorto-ceiling windows. “The stained glass windows were designed by Mr. Bernard Gruenke of the Conrad Schmidt Studio of Milwaukee,” according to the program.

“The windows to the left of the chapel represent the three religious vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, through the symbols of loaves and fishes, lily and thorns and a galaxy of stars.

1922: The Sisters of Loretto purchased the Lockwood estate,

with the intention of expanding the college preparatory school. In 1924, the college and high school were separated; Nerinx Hall, named in honor of Rev. Charles Nerinckx, opened for classes in the Lockwood house. Additions were built to the original “old white house” in 1937 in response to the growing enrollment, and the present Nerinx Hall High School was built in 1954.

1954: Loretto House of Studies was established, with young Sisters living in the Lockwood house and taking college classes at Webster. Like many other women’s religious communities, Loretto embraced the goals of the Sister Formation Movement, making it possible for Sisters to earn their college degrees before they started teaching. Growing numbers at the House of Studies meant that a new building was needed. Many Sisters in residence during this time recall that beds were placed strategically in rooms and hallways, allowing just enough space for walking.

1958-1962: The new House of Studies, a three-story brick

structure, was built in two sections. The rear wing was dedicated on Jan. 18, 1959. Almost immediately, plans progressed on construction of the front wing and chapel, dedicated on Sept. 24, 1962. Funds were raised from many sources, with Loretto houses across the country participating. “We furnished rooms thanks to S&H Green Stamps sent in from everywhere,” notes Antoinette Doyle SL, who was third “directress,” following in the pioneering footsteps of Helen Jean Seidel SL and Mary Florence Wolff SL. The chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows. The walls are constructed of stacked brick with three large floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows on either side. The windows, designed

by Bernard Gruenke, represent the three religious vows and the apostolate, or purposeful mission, of the Sisters of Loretto.

The original chapel furnishings were designed and made by Professor Rudolph Torrini and his Webster Sister-students, Roberta Hudlow, Jeanne Dueber and Anne Teigen. Professor Torrini had also designed the 11-foot limestone statue of Rev. Charles Nerinckx, which now stands in front of the Nerinx Hall gymnasium.

1968: As needs changed and the House of Studies was no longer using dormitory space, 590 transitioned to a Loretto residence for some 50 Sisters, with another Loretto community living in the Lockwood House. Office spaces for provincial and

development staff were located at this address. Loretto Learning Center was established in the rear wing by Helene McLeese SL, who worked with many diocesan and public school teachers to improve student learning. Along with the Webster MAT and College School experimental education activities, the Loretto Learning Center became a hub where many experienced Loretto teachers personalized instruction for individual students of all ages. Children could learn reading and mathematics at their own pace, while high school students could make up credits through summer classes. Some adults also participated in speed reading lessons.

Dec. 8, 2016: Friends and family joined the St. Louis Loretto Community in an evening Mass and blessing of Center residents as part of several rituals that honored the closing of Loretto Center.

1988: With the closing of Lafayette in the city, many Loretto Sisters needing nursing care moved to 590, where a skilled nursing section was set up. The Loretto Center became a “fullhouse” home for a diverse community of Sisters of Loretto and Co-members, mothers of Sisters, members of other religious congregations, and some international students at Webster University.

2005: In response to changing needs, the chapel was renovated so that pews were replaced with chairs arranged in choir style on either side of a smaller altar. The base for the tabernacle and the baptismal font were designed by Roberta Hudlow SL and constructed using stone from the original altar.

Over the years, the 590 community has welcomed Loretto gatherings for liturgies, meetings and social occasions. Also, welcoming space has been open to groups, which include Nerinx Hall staff and students, the Intercommunity Novitiate and others.

On December 8, 2016, many Loretto members and friends gathered to participate in a ritual farewell and blessing of the place we have called home for so many decades. Plans are being made for a Loretto prayer service at 590 with Nerinx Hall faculty and board of directors on April 24, 2017.

Although ownership of property along Lockwood Avenue has been a part of the Loretto story since 1898, the time has come for the transition to what comes next. The Loretto spirit will continue to spring forth from this “holy ground” through generations of Nerinx students learning to live the Loretto school values of faith, community, justice and respect.
