  • The Church, Abortion, and Sister Margaret Ellen Traxler
    The Church, Abortion, and Sister Margaret Ellen Traxler Robert McClory “A Chicago nun’s battle with Rome” Chicago Magazine, December 1985 Used with Permission At 11 p.m. on December 7, 1984, Sister Margaret Ellen Traxler had just finished night prayers in her small room at St. Patrick’s parish convent, on Chicago’s Far Southeast Side, when the telephone rang. The caller was Sister Maureen Murray, a superior of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, the Roman Catholic religious order to which Traxler belongs. “Peggy, I’m afraid I have some bad news,” said Murray, who then proceeded to read a letter that the international president of the order had just received. It was from Archbishop Jean Jerome Hamer, prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation on Religious and Secular Institutes-in other words, the man who oversees the affairs of Catholic nuns all over the world. The letter stated, in effect, that the authorities in her order should demand that Traxler recant a public declaration that she had signed two months earlier. Appearing as a full-page advertisement in The New York Times, the declaration had challenged the church’s official teaching on abortion. If Traxler refused to recant, Hamer’s letter said, she was to be threatened with removal from the order. Similar letters had been sent to the superiors of 23 other U.S. nuns and of two priests and two religious brothers who had signed the same declaration. There could be no doubt about the intent: the offenders were in serious trouble, and the Vatican meant business.

    Image features Audrey Dwyer from a photo by Avital Zemer. 1 A Message from the Artistic and Executive Directors Welcome to Seussical – one of our favourite musicals at YPT. Apart from being great fun and featuring terrific performances, this is a profound story. At its centre is Horton the Elephant’s assertion that "a person’s a person no matter how small". Obviously, these are words to live by. They are also a call to action for young people – to think and care about those who are sometimes forgotten or unseen. We hope Seussical inspires all audience members, young and not so young, to be conscious of the impact of their actions. Think how much better the world would be. To quote another song from the show "Oh the thinks you can think – if you’re willing to try..." Our show runs through the Holidays with public performances every day between December 27th and 31st. Perhaps you know someone for whom Seussical tickets would make a great gift! We wish you the very best for the Holidays and the New Year to come. ALLEN MACINNIS NANCY J.

  • COMMUNITY BOND REPORT 2021 Celebrating Five Years of Collaboration, Community and Connections, Sparking Impact Within Our Walls and #Beyondthewalls
    COMMUNITY BOND REPORT 2021 Celebrating five years of collaboration, community and connections, sparking impact within our walls and #beyondthewalls FINDING HOPE IN THE MIDST OF A GLOBAL PANDEMIC 2020 was a year unlike any other we have witnessed. Office buildings have been hollowed out and how we return to them will never be the same. For some, they may never return. A few of Canada’s largest companies are declaring working from home will be the new norm and they're not alone, many are following suit. Social purpose spaces (like Innovation Works) shape how our communities are designed and built, and they matter for equitable, healthy, and complete communities as well as vibrant local economies (source: Future of Good). “I am supporting the Community Bond because I believe in social purpose real estate, and believe that investing in a shared space makes our communities stronger and healthier.” -Jeffrey Good Innovation Works is a place for solutions. We default to optimism. In the face of a global pandemic, we are proud of how we responded; adapting with speed to meet the needs of our co-tenants, members and our community. We innovated, finding new ways to connect people and to spark impact. And through it all we remained hopeful, optimistic, confident of our collective ability as a community of social innovators to come out better on the other side. “As a co-creator of Innovation Works I am a believer in inclusive spaces that foster human connection and move ideas forward to spark community impact. Investing in Innovation Works in this new way is in the spirit of shared ownership and a long-term commitment.” -Michelle Baldwin HOW WE RESPONDED Our first tough call was to shut down Innovation Works, one week before the province ordered all non-essential businesses to close.
