President’s Message

Sister Katherine Doyle, RSM, is an educator, historian and passionate writer, who lives and breathes Mercy every day.

Called to Tell Our Story Sister Katherine Doyle, RSM talks about her new historical account of the Sisters of Mercy in Sacramento “I’ve always loved stories.” Sr. Katherine Doyle, RSM, begins. She is explaining her current project to research and write the history of the Sisters of Mercy in Sacramento. “If I hadn’t become a Sister, I was considering a career as a journalist,” she continued, “but I’ve loved all the ministries in which I’ve served.”

Sr. Katherine knew from the time she was 10 that she was called to religious life and joined the Sisters of Mercy at the age of 17. “I am a native Sacramentan, I’m a Mercy General baby, and I had the Sisters as my teachers. Mercy goes all the way into my roots. I was even named after two Sisters of Mercy!”

With a career that began in education, Sr. Katherine found a passion for shaping the minds, hearts and spirits of young people. “I just love teaching in any form,” she continues. “After nearly 20 years in secondary education, I was called to help develop faith formation programs in parishes where children couldn’t attend Continued on page 2

Social distance is a phrase we have heard over and over again in 2020. At every turn it seems, we have been reminded to stay apart. No doubt, this year has been a challenge for each of us in a myriad of ways, but as I look back over the year, I find myself filled with optimism and celebration over the ways we have connected. Technology helped us stay close (hello, Zoom!) but most importantly, our community came together and donors like you reached out and maintained the human connections that sustain and fortify us. Please know that your generosity provides real help and hope to so many who are served by our ministries.

As you read through this edition of Horizons, I hope you will enjoy the cover story, an interview with Sister Katherine Doyle, RSM, who is writing a history of the Sisters of Mercy in Sacramento. Her stories of the Sisters’ courage and determination are both moving and inspiring. Our McAuley & Legacy Societies’ donors are also Continued on page 5

Catholic schools. We wanted to teach them prayer and worship, but also core values; how to share, how to be kind to one another, how to live a life of service.” Sr. Katherine’s faith formation work eventually expanded to dioceses across the nation.

She was then called to a new ministry in community governance for the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas. “I was in leadership for

this means painstakingly combing through newspaper archives.

“I think what’s most exciting is to find these gems of forgotten history and bring those forward in a way that helps people understand the tremendous courage and selfsacrifice of the women who have brought us to this moment,” says Sr. Katherine. “We walk in their image and today we are still as committed to this city, especially to those

I want to acknowledge in awe and wonder the bravery, the faith and the sacrifice of the women who have gone before us. Because they are part of my story and part of our story. about ten years and I was also the director of our retreat center,” she tells us, “And today I am a novitiate pastor, helping to form new Sisters.”

In addition to working with women entering the order, Sr. Katherine is writing the very first history of the Sisters of Mercy in Sacramento.

“The more I write this book, the more excited I get,” she says, smiling. “It spans from 1857, when we arrived, to 2008, and it looks at our relationship with the city.” Sr. Katherine is spending much of her time doing historical research since nearly all the Sisters’ records were lost between 1890 and 1948. Often 2

without resources.”

The early stories of the Sisters are full of heroism and selfless determination to meet the needs of the people in Sacramento. “The amount of hardship the Sisters encountered really strikes me,” she explains, “Because of the climate and the marsh in the city, a number of the Sisters died of malaria when they first arrived, and others became gravely ill. Their living conditions were just not conductive to good health.”

Sr. Katherine becomes animated as she describes the tremendous obstacles that the Sisters faced in

achieving their mission. “What most Catholics don’t know is that at that time, religious communities were not funded by the Church. The women were personally responsible for all their own expenses.” Often this meant taking out loans to build much-needed schools or hospitals, and the only way to reduce this debt was through the generosity of the community. “The Sisters of Mercy borrowed money to build Mater Misericordia (the present day site of Mercy General Hospital). There was a huge amount of debt to repay, so the Sisters lived as simply as possible to erase that debt. Until they did that, that couldn’t take on another ministry.”

Fortunately, the City of Sacramento wanted to help the Sisters as much as the Sisters wanted to be of assistance to the community.

“We talk about the Sisters as a Mercy community, and from the beginning, this community has had multiple circles of support. The Sisters’ co-workers, their donors, city leaders—they were all part of this community.”

One interesting fact that emerged from Sister Katherine’s research is that the women of Sacramento actually held fundraisers to pay for the Sisters of Mercy to come from San Francisco. The most pressing need at first was for education.

So a small group of Sisters left their health care ministry in San

Francisco and established schools in Sacramento. This was only made possible through the generosity of these women who wanted these schools for their children.

These accounts link us with our past and help us understand our role as partners in the mission of the Sisters of Mercy as it continues today. Sr. Katherine believes that this book is about more than just preserving the story of the Sisters. “If you don’t know your history, then you don’t know your roots,” she explains.

“Readers will find inspiration in

these stories. And I hope they feel a sense of belonging, and a greater sense of identity knowing the history of their city.”

Like many of the Sisters, Sr. Katherine draws strength from the histories she reads. “I want to acknowledge in awe and wonder the bravery, the faith and the sacrifice of the women who have gone before us. Because they are part of my story and part of our story. There’s something in it that tells us we can do something difficult knowing that those who came before us did it under harder circumstances. And

this needs to be passed on, not only to novice Sisters, but to everyone in the Mercy community circles.”

Mercy Foundation is honored to work alongside Sisters like Sr. Katherine to advance our common mission to serve those in need.

Thanks to generous support of our COVID-19 Response Fund, a new Pulse Oximetry Remote Patient Monitoring program allows patients experiencing symptoms to be monitored in the comfort of their own homes. This program reduces the utilization of staff, personal protective equipment and cost, while ensuring the safety and health of our patients.

Dignity Health’s Sacramento area hospitals and clinics have also experienced a record-breaking outpouring of community support through in-kind contributions. To date, over 350 individuals and businesses have generously donated personal protective equipment, cloth masks and meals for our health care heroes.

Below is just a sampling of the kindness in our community.

Finding My Cause:

project was met. Karen had to make a choice about where she’d like her gifts to go next and it created an opportunity to help in a new way.

Most of the babies cared for in the NICU are from low-income families.

The NICU team needed swaddles and baby clothes that could be used in the NICU and that the families could take home with them when their little ones were discharged.

Karen was overjoyed to help.

A Dignity Health Employee Talks about the Joy of Helping Others Karen Lovell is approaching her 24th year of service at Dignity Health.

“My daughter had just turned one when I started here and now both my kids are out of college!” she jokes.

With a career that began in payroll, Karen first learned about Mercy Foundation because she processed employee donations to the ministries supported by the Foundation.

“In the last ten years, I was inspired to become a donor myself and realized I could give more using my PTO (vacation hours),” explains Karen. She was drawn to helping babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Mercy San Juan Medical Center because both her children were born at Mercy

Karen Lovell inspires philanthropy and changes lives through employee giving.

San Juan and her daughter is now a Respiratory Therapist in a NICU in Kansas City, “so I really know how important NICU departments are,” she says.

She was generously contributing toward the current construction of the new NICU at Mercy San Juan when the fundraising goal for that

“It’s really a win-win,” says Karen, “I tell everyone to donate to Mercy Foundation! It’s very easy and quick and you know you’re doing something really good to help others.

Mercy Foundation is very grateful to Karen and the hundreds of generous Dignity Health employees like her who go above and beyond to make our health care ministry great.

Thank you all for your outstanding generosity and goodwill!

The newly expanded Robert S. and Star Pepper Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Mercy San Juan Medical Center opened in November. Thanks to the support of many generous donors, the new NICU will be able to care for even more of our most fragile and tiniest patients.

You are Their Angel in Times of Need Thank you for supporting the Angel Care Fund!

A cancer diagnosis is terrifying for anyone, but if you are living on the edge of poverty, the financial implications of your illness can feel completely overwhelming. For many, the cost of transportation or co-payments is so prohibitively expensive, they consider refusing treatment.

“I utilized the Angel Care Fund to help an older patient pay for necessary gas to travel to daily radiation treatments,” said one Oncology Nurse Navigator. “He didn’t have anyone to drive him and he simply couldn’t afford it. He was so thankful because without this assistance he would have had to refuse treatment.”

For others, your generosity is providing support for family members.

“I am working with a 41-year old brain cancer patient,” explains another Oncology Nurse Navigator.

Because of your support, Mercy nurse navigators like Rachel McConachie (left) and Ann Chrisler (right) are able to help cancer patients in need by assisting them in securing transportation to and from appointments so they may continue to receive the vital care they need.

Fortunately for patients of the Dignity Health Cancer Institute of Greater Sacramento, you provide critical help and humankindness.

Your gifts to the Angel Care Fund are making a world of difference to cancer patients in need. Our Oncology Nurse Navigators work one-on-one with patients to help remove barriers to care and ensure they get the best treatments in a timely way.

“His mobility and use of speech are becoming progressively worse due to progression of his illness. He is married and has children aged six and one. His wife was recently forced to stop working to care for him, and we used the Angel Care Fund to provide home care assistance during the week so she could care for her children. His wife said she cannot express how grateful she is for this help.”

President’s Message (continued)

recognized in this issue. They, and each and every member of our Mercy Foundation family, make our work possible. From helping COVID-19 patients to cancer patients in need, your support for the mission of the Sisters of Mercy is changing hundreds of lives every day.

I thank you again for your partnership with Mercy Foundation and the Sisters of Mercy. Together, we are continuing a powerful legacy of care for those in need in our region.

I wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy holiday season.

Sincerely,

Kevin B. Duggan President & CEO

These are just two of hundreds of similar stories. Thank you so much for your continued support for this fund. These stories would simply not possible without your generous gifts and these patients are so grateful to have you as their angels. You truly exemplify humankindness and compassion!
