Each of us is interesting and shiny on our own, but when we get together, we are dazzling! This newest phase of Congregational Chapter preparedness “Drawn by Love, Passionate for Justice: Phase 2 Into the Deep” — invites us to be dazzling. Until last year, I had no idea how much time, energy, mental effort, and preparation it takes to make dazzle happen. Think about all we have accomplished together in the past year and a half: • talks by Brother Philip Pinto • virtual InterContinental Assembly • North America and province Zoom calls • Province Chapter Talk about unifying! Not only that, there are personal reflections, prayers, thought, and time that are too numerous to count. With all of this content, meetings, and processes, it would be easy to feel overwhelmed. It helps to remember something Sr. Madeleine has often said: “This is not a test.” My role as Chapter Animator In order to bring life and engagement to this year of preparation, I was asked to serve as the Animator for PMNA’s preparation for the Congregational Chapter.

  • They Came to Serve
    A Chronicle of Women Religious in the Diocese of Dallas 1874-2014 THEY CAME TO SERVE BY SISTER MARY BRIAN BOLE, SSND A 125th Anniversary Publication of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas Archives Introduction Too few people are aware of the courageous sisters who came to serve the Church in Texas in collaboration with the diocesan priests and religious prieests and brothers. Many endured long religious voyages to reach the vineyard to which they had been called. Many died to the dread epidemics of cholera and yellow fever that repeatedly swept over the republic and later the state. Others died protecting the orphans at St. Mary’s Orphanage in Galveston in 1900. Long before our diocese was established in 1890 Ursuline Nuns, Daughters of Charity, Holy Cross Sisters and Sisters of St. Mary Namur had established schools, hospitals and academies in what would become the Dallas diocese. They were but the vanguard of the thousands of women religious from 63 communities who came to serve and are still serving God in this corner of his vineyard. Sister Mary Brian Bole, SSND, gives a glimpse of the labors of these brave consecrated women in this chronicle. Theirs is story that needed to be told and she has done it well. January 1, 2016 Most Rev. Kevin J. Farrell Bishop of Dallas The Author School Sister of Notre Dame Mary Brian Bole, author of They Came to Serve, has held administrative and teaching positions at a number of educational institutions in Texas and Japan, including the University of Dallas, Kyoto Notre Dame University, Kyoto, Japan, Bishop Dunne School, Nolan Catholic High School, Fort Worth, the Highlands School, Irving and Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in Dallas.
