As Cranaleith completes its 19th year as a spiritual center, the Board pauses to acknowledge in gratitude, the guidance that has brought us thus far. As stewards of this ministry, we have embraced Cranaleith’s mission to be a sanctuary of Mercy to all, and most especially to those on the margins. This publication looks back and highlights some of our accomplishments in fiscal year 2016-2017, tells stories of our impact and acknowledges those who helped to advance our mission. As we look ahead, we are excited to be on the threshold of the next phase of our growth. After engaging in an extensive search, it is our pleasure to introduce Charlene Flaherty as the new Executive Director of Cranaleith Spiritual Center. Charlene is passionate about our mission, deeply formed with the charism of mercy, and gifted in managing others. Equally important is her experience in leading organizations, building cohesive teams, and creating a sustainable future. Her experiences connect well with Cranaleith’s mission, “to seek to invite those at the center of need and those at the center of influence to reflection, reverent dialogue and meaningful partnerships.” We warmly welcome Charlene and trust that God’s providential care will help us accomplish infinitely more than we can imagine.

A Message From Our New Executive Director As I enter into my first month as Executive Director, I am grateful to have this moment to reflect on the beauty of Cranaleith and the rekindling of spirit, hope and connection that occurs here every day. During my very first visit to Cranaleith, I knew it was unique. Where else can you practice eco-spirituality through beekeeping, seasonal cooking classes and reflective retreats? We’re about both place and purpose and our wonderful staff and volunteers provide what I recognize as “radical hospitality” to both poor and privileged guests. We have much to offer and I am so blessed! I look forward to meeting you during your next visit to our “Sanctuary of Trees” as our honored guest.
Charlene M. Flaherty EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Stories of Transformation Transformation is woven into the fabric of Cranaleith’s story and is made possible by the support of those who believe our mission and its lasting impact on individuals and society.
Aronda Smith-Benson is a member of Cranaleith’s board and a decorated Army veteran. She was introduced to Cranaleith by way of our Coming Home, Becoming Whole retreats for women vets. “Safety, reverence and gentle guidance welcome those who come to Cranaleith’s retreat days for women vets,” says Aronda. Women can tell their stories from an honest place, and be invited to find hope, resilience and courage within themselves. I see enormous possibilities for Cranaleith to connect to service-providers, and offer something essential to heal the wounds so many carry.” Aronda is the Founder and Executive Director of the Women Veterans Command Center where she advocates for the empowerment of women vets. She was recently named Veteran of Influence by the Philadelphia Business Journal.
Luke Hillier is the Philadelphia City Director of Mission Year, a national organization that seeks to develop leaders who will transform the church, the city and the world. After a day-long planning retreat, he told us, “Your grounds were beautiful, food terrific, and the meeting room was perfect. But even more than any of that was the truly moving hospitality and kindness from literally every staff member we crossed paths with during our visit. To receive that, not as high-paying executives, but as a group visiting with a tremendously moderate budget, and to know that all others in our situation are received the same...that’s really special. The commitment you all have to staying true to your mission with integrity and honor means a lot.”
Since 2010, Cranaleith has partnered with CATCH (Citizens Acting Together Can Help, Inc.) to provide Philadelphians, suffering from poverty and severe behavioral health issues, an opportunity to experience an alternative to their daily routine. “Cranaleith offers an environment of natural beauty that is conducive to healing, dignity and respect,” says John Bumbaca, former Mental Health Director, CATCH. “The workshops and activities are highly valued by our clients. By every measure, this joint-venture has proven extremely important to the quality of life of those involved.”

May you meet mercy each day: in the light of your own heart, at the hands of your loved ones, in the eyes of the stranger and the needy. And if by chance you do not at first meet it, then search your heart for it, listen patiently for word of it, and it will tap you on the shoulder, a quiet surprise, small gesture the tender look, given and received in the encounters of your day. — Meeting by Mary Wickham, RSM
