Winter 2022 Issue: Thank you for your charity and love

As an expression of our profound gratitude, we are shining a bright light on the hundreds of individuals who have donated to our mission and ministries. We also want to introduce you to a few of our partners in mission who have modeled our values in very visible ways:

  • Art teacher Rosemary Aquilina, who is active in our young adult programs, has found a way to blend art and faith through St. Joseph Spirituality Center. (Page 4)

  • Associate Suzanne Polen’s tireless advocacy for children and immigrants was influenced by her family experiences as an adopted child of second-generation immigrants. (Page 9)

  • Volunteer Chris Haver has discovered that working on our sacred grounds is a way to honor his late mother, Associate Kathy Haver, and continue to nurture relationships with our Sisters. (Page 12)

Summer 2021 Issue: Building relationships

In this edition, we are delighted to share a sampling of the relationships we have nurtured with others through our presence. 

  • For Sisters Rosanne Oberleitner, Marjorie Kelly and Christy Hill, cultivating a trusting relationship with those seeking spiritual guidance is critical to their ministry as the newest spiritual directors at St. Joseph Spirituality Center. (Page 3)

  • Whether kayaking on the water or strolling through her neighborhood, Sister Jan Franklin appreciates a relationship with nature where she readily finds God. (Page 8)

  • Sister Min Shik Kim has dedicated her vocation to helping others discover the transformative power of knowing who they are and what’s important in their hearts. (Page 12)

  • Edwin Koontz, a boarding school student at Mount Gallitzin Academy in the 1950s, felt compelled to write about his former teacher, Sister Mary Louise (Ignatius Loyola) Simmons, when she passed away earlier this year. (Page 16)
