A place of peace. Igniting hearts. Dear Friend of Jesuit Retreat House: Board of Directors What do you seek for happiness? A big home? A recognized career? A Rita Carfagna fabulous salary? Chair What is the ‘drive’ or ‘passion’ in your life? What has grabbed you and John V. Biernacki absorbed you? What do you think about when you are alone? What consumes your energy, Hugh Buchanan your creativity, your relationships with others? Elizabeth Cotter Or, perhaps, your relationship with God? Even more challenging: Is God part of this driven, Frank DeSantis tireless, motion-filled life that controls you? Tina M. Facca, PhD When we give time to our soul, our spirit, we invite these furies of our competitive lives to be Kathleen Ferry confronted and challenged, to disappear and in their place we welcome peace, generosity, open mindedness, and love. Yes, the love of a God who has been waiting so patiently to Rita Mary Harwood, SND come in. St. Ignatius Loyola had a term for this openness to God: the Spiritual Exercises. Keith Lashinger We might refer to it as ‘retreat’. In the Book of Revelations, there is a warming and devotional image of Our Lord knocking on a door in the passage which says: “Here I stand, Paul V. Murphy knocking at the door. If anyone hears me calling and opens the door, I will enter his house and have supper with him and he with me.” Rev. 3: 20. Donald Petkash, SJ Jim Riley, SJ The image has been captured by artists for centuries; no doubt you have seen a popular rendition on many a holy card over the years. I invite you to conjure up that image and ask Robert Welsh, SJ yourself, ‘What have I let choose me? What can I choose to replace it so that I am the person Mary Ann Flannery, SC God has created me to be? ‘ When I come close to answering these questions, I will be closer Executive Director to holiness. Barbara Leggott Associate Director So I invite you to come to the JRH. Make a weekend retreat. Or, start with a day retreat or an evening talk. Put your fear aside. Open the door on which He is knocking and let Him in during your quiet time here. Choose Him. Your life will never be the same because you will be letting His love drive your life, and the seductive attractions of secularism will no longer Our Mission: ‘choose’ you. Inspired by the Gospel of In Christ’s love, Jesus Christ, rooted in the spirituality of St. Ignatius, Jesuit Retreat House provides a sacred setting for outreach, Sr. Mary Ann Flannery, S.C. retreats and programs of Executive Director growth and development for people in the contem- porary Church and society. JRH New Board Chair 2013 Hearts on Fire I am honored and happy to serve as the Chairperson of the JRH Board this year and I feel privileged to work alongside the many generous individuals who are also serving on the Board. Together we are blessed to support Sr. Mary Ann Flannery, S.C. and the rest of the dedicated and talented staff as they strive to provide the spiritual nourishment for such a wide range of seekers - the youth who are growing in a heartfelt knowledge of Jesus Christ through their Kairos retreats, the young adults who are further discerning God’s call to them, the addicted who seek the healing that only Jesus can provide, the seniors who long to deepen their relationship with God, those in ministry who need to recharge their spiritual batteries, the professionals striving to live their faith in the workplace. As a Board, we, too, are making a concerted effort at our own ongoing spiritual formation. Last winter, we participated in the 6-week “Called and Sent” Lay Leadership module, “Ignatian Spirituality: Grounding for Life.” Together we learned more about St. Ignatius and the Spiritual Exercises, we prayed together and we shared how we are finding God in the work we are doing at JRH. Additionally, at each Board meeting, the opening prayer includes an “Ignatian moment” to help us stay focused on the Jesuit charisma that shapes all we do and we close each meeting with a communal discernment. We take several minutes to reflect on the meeting to notice the moments when we felt discouraged or confused (spiritual desolation) and the moments we felt energized or hopeful (spiritual consolation) to further discern how God may be leading us as a group. Finally, over the past few months, several Board members have been interviewing past Board chairs and Executive Directors of JRH in order to piece together a “sacred history” of JRH. Although we are still finalizing this document, the rough draft provides ample evidence that the Holy Spirit has been very active in the ministry of JRH for many, many years! No matter the individuals serving or the problems they encountered, over the years, through the grace of God, JRH has continued to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ through the good news of the Spiritual Exercises. It is humbling, indeed, to be a part of this awesome ministry as we write our own pages of its sacred history. In closing, in the name of the One who loves us, heals us, leads us, and saves us, Jesus Christ, our Lord, I thank you for being a part of the sacred history of JRH and I ask that you continue to journey with us in support of its critical ministry – helping all seekers to know our loving God. Christ’s peace, Rita Carfagna JRH Welcomes Fr. Roche, S.J. JRH Welcomes Fr. Matthew Roche, S.J. We are very pleased to welcome Father Matt Roche, S.J., as a fulltime minister here at the Jesuit Retreat House. Father Matt comes from the New York Province and will be living with the Jesuit community at St. Ignatius High School. He brings 27 years of experience in spiritual direction and has been on staff at Mt. Manresa in New York for three years before its closing this past June. Fr. Roche entered the Jesuits in 1973. After entering he tutored ex-convicts, published books on tape for the blind, worked with the terminally ill at Calvary Hospital, and Men of the Street at a Soup Kitchen in Syracuse, as well as the mentally handicapped at Daybreak, a L’Arche Home outside of Toronto.

  • Annual Report 2011-2012
    Mater Matters FALL 2012 ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 OPENING COMMENTS From the Principal During a recent trip to my ancestral home, Ireland, I visited St. Patrick’s Church in Glenbrohane where my great grandparents were married. This simple country church overlooks a sweeping vista of rolling hills, dotted with sheep and cows belonging to the local farmers. My cousin, Mike Tobin, whispered to me during Mass, “That chalice was the one used at your great grandmother’s wedding. The church has only one, and I am sure that was the one used.” I was distracted during Mass thinking about where John Buckley stood as he watched Ellen Tobin walk down the aisle. How did they meet? What walks did they walk? What dreams did they have for the future? Did they envision what their own life would become — immigrating to America, their future home in Philadelphia? Probably not. What John and Ellen saw was a loom inviting them to weave the fabric of their lives together into a tapestry they would never see completed. And that is the story for all of our ancestors — they weave, they make their contribution, and then they turn it over to successive generations. Catherine McAuley had the same experience. She never intended to start a religious congregation. She was advised, however, that if she wanted her work to have longevity, she needed to turn her House of Mercy into a convent. Although she opened many convents with schools and safe houses, she did not live long enough to see the tapestry of Mercy life in the United States.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Gendering Trauma and Healing in a Post­ Conflict Environment: Las Dignas, Mental Health, and the Empowerment of Salvadoran Women A dissertation presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Massey University, Turitea Campus, Palmerston N01th, New Zealand Helen Margaret Leslie 1999 11 Abstract There is no doubt that the experience of war, be it war between nation states or civil war, varies considerably for both male and females. The twelve year civil war in El Salvador was no exception. Salvadoran women who worked in various sectors as combatants, urban collaborators, home-makers, nurses, cooks or radio operators for the guerrilla fo rces, experienced the war and now experience so-called peace, in ways that relate directly to the construction of the fe male sex in Salvadoran society. As a result of these gendered experiences many Salvadoran women are suffering trauma despite the cessation of the war in 1992. This trauma acts to disempower these women and to prevent them from actively participating in the important processes of post-conflict reconstruction currently taking place in Salvadoran society This thesis aims to analyse the approach taken by one Salvadoran organisation fo r fe minist political action, Las Dignas, in healing the trauma of Salvadoran women. Reviewing relevant literature on gender and development theory and gender and conflict theory, and drawing on fe minist methods in the fieldwork context, it will show how the healing process employed by Las Dignas is empowering Salvadoran women at both personal and socio-political levels.
