  • Loretto and the Women's Movement
    The following chapter is from a book of essays ably edited by Ann Patrick Ware SL. The book, Naming Our Truth: Stories of Loretto Women, © 1995, is now out of print. For this reason, we are providing a typed copy of the chapter “Loretto and the Women’s Movement: From ‘Sister’ to sister,” written by the late Virginia Williams SL. Ginny died in 1999, leaving a tremendous hole in our hearts even as we hold dear her presence and influence. The Loretto Women’s Network whose history is chronicled in this chapter continues as a vital voluntary network within the Loretto Community. As of now there are about 190 members. Care is taken to explain that the statements and actions of LWN do not always represent those of the entire community. Nevertheless, there is widespread agreement of the principles of feminism. The LWN newsletter couRAGE is now in its 20th year of publication. The network meets twice annually and members work on women’s issues throughout the year. LORETTO AND THE WOMEN’S MOVEMENT: From “Sister” to sister by Virginia Williams © 1995, Sisters of Loretto, Loretto Community What are the factors that have moved a congregation of Roman Catholic nuns to become involved in the women’s movement? Most women point to their own experience of oppression as a major component in a change of consciousness. But whatever burdens Sisters had to bear over the years have not been quite like the physical, psychological, and financial threats that afflict so many women. Sisters did not have to balance the conflicting claims of marriage or motherhood with a career.

  • 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.
