Angeline Award presented to Joy Green and Carmen de la Cuba Laurel, October 23, 2022
Joy Green, left, an Ursuline Associate from Cumberland Maryland, ministers to residents at Allegany Health Nursing and Rehabilitation, and assists neighbors and others in need.
As one of her nominators, Jody Walker, said of her, “Our spiritual discoveries may sometimes be on mountaintops, but nine times out of ten, they are made while being helped to put a puzzle together, to bake cookies or to paint a rose. This active praying spreads ripples of kindness outward in all directions. While Joy doesn’t think consciously of any of this, it’s an intrinsic part of who she is. It has been an honor to have known Joy, this mystic of the fabric store and the all-night diner. She is the prophet waiting in the drive-thru to get someone’s coffee. The charism of Angela is all around us and Joy Green’s life is solid proof of that love.”
Carmen de la Cuba Laurel, right, met Sisters Lee Kirchner and Mary Martha Staarman in 1966, when Sister Lee hired her to teach at Santa Angela Merici School in Carmen de la Legua. Since that time, Carmen had dedicated herself to the school and to the education of young people, supporting them in friendship and love.
Sister Sue Scharfenberger said in her nomination, “Carmen has taken her commitment even beyond the school. As an active Associate, she continues to gather other women to share the spirit of Angela. Considered to be a leader among the Associates, she has taken initiatives in offering her time and talents in projects that support and affirm other women.”
