Annual Report Catherine McAuley Center for women & children experiencing homelessness ANNUAL REPORT July 2019-June 2020 The Legacy of Catherine McAuley Born into a wealthy family in Dublin, Ireland, Catherine McAuley’s comfortable early life turned upside down when her father died in 1783. She was only five years old. Catherine’s mother managed to maintain a home of relative affluence for her three children by slowly selling off parcels of land, but she too would pass in 1798. Catherine went to live at first with an impoverished uncle and later cousins with whom Catherine clashed over religious convictions. When her mother’s wealthy relatives William and Catherine Callaghan returned from India in 1803, Catherine gladly moved in to manage their elegant home. She lived there for nearly 20 years, providing religious instructions to the Catholic servants and village children and helping the less-privileged in the community find resources to improve their lives. When William Callaghan passed in 1822, he named Catherine McAuley as his sole heir. She used her inheritance to establish a ‘House of Mercy’ on Baggot Street in September 1827. There, she and several companions provided food, clothing, housing, medical care, and education for many of Dublin’s poor women and young girls. Initially, Catherine distinguished herself from nuns and their convents, but in time she came to realize that in order for her work to continue, the House of Mercy would need to become a convent. In 1831, with the approval of Archbishop Daniel Murray, the congregation of Sisters of Mercy was founded. The Baggot Street house served as its first convent. On December 12 of that year, the first Sisters of Mercy took vows of poverty, chastity, obedience and service. The Mercy Rule, approved by Rome, gave them the freedom to move beyond the convent to wherever poor, sick, and uneducated needed help. People in Dublin called them the “walking nuns.” Be ever ready to praise, to enco””urage, to stimulate, but slow to censure… to condem’’”n. 2 Be ever ready to praise, to encourage, to stimulate, but slow to censure… to condemn.

While 2020 certainly was a year unlike any of the other 36 that the Center has offered services, we drew inspiration from the resilience and perseverance that we have seen in our clients. The Center was able to continue its case management services and housing programs, having an impact on more than 3,000 lives. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a health, economic and housing crisis, with a disproportionate impact on women. A housing crisis looms in 2021 and the Catherine McAuley Center is prepared to continue assisting women and children experiencing homelessness. We remain committed to serving those in need of housing and to feeding those in need of food. We will continue to connect those seeking assistance with available resources, all while striving to empower women and to shed light on the realities of racial inequity. We are thankful to our dedicated staff, supportive board of directors, generous donors, faithful volunteers and a welcoming community, all who play a vital role in the success of the Catherine McAuley Center and those transitioning from homelessness. I hope that our first annual report will provide insight to the impactful work that the Catherine McAuley Center does for homeless women and children in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. I invite you to share your findings with a friend, family member or neighbor, and invite them to utilize our services, if needed, or to support our work. Thank you, Krista Somers Executive Director 4 An introduction to the Catherine McAuley Center Helping Women and Children Experiencing Homelessness Since 1984 he history of the Catherine McAuley Center traces its origins to a group of Tdedicated members of the Sisters of Mercy community who first identified the need for housing for homeless women in Scranton. By 1983, these Sisters began to reach out to the local population of homeless women by sharing extra bedrooms in their convent in North Scranton. The first woman to be accepted into the Convent as a guest was welcomed on September 1, 1984. The ministry began and was incorporated as the Catherine McAuley Center in 1985. The organization held its first Board meeting on July 31, 1986. Today, the Catherine McAuley Center provides housing and supportive services for homeless individuals and families, primarily women and children, in Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties. The Continuum of Housing includes emergency shelters, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing for both individuals and families. The Center also operates a transitional housing program for women leaving prison. Additional housing programs include two single-room occupancy residences and a single dwelling for a low-income family. Beyond the shelter of a roof and walls, our wide range of supportive services help women and children overcome the trauma of homelessness through education, life skills, and assistance accessing counseling, employment, and training opportunities. Through our intensive case management, these services are tailored to each individual’s circumstances and transportation is provided when possible. These essential supports prove invaluable since the majority of those served are living at or below the federal poverty level. Our role is distinctive in the community for the provision of emergency shelter to a highly-vulnerable population of women and children beyond those in an active domestic violence situation. The Center also offers a community food pantry, a furniture bank, and family bonding activities throughout the year. During the 2019/20 fiscal year, the Catherine McAuley Center housed a total of 329 individuals, and served an additional 405 people through our Family Support Program, 621 through our Food Pantry, and 1,735 individuals through our Christmas Adopt-A- Family Program. 5 Programs & services Catherine McAuley Center: Programs and Services (This section will include a pie chart of numbers served). The Catherine McAuley Center is a member of the Scranton/Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties Continuum of Care [CoC], a collaboration to end homelessness administered by local non-profit agencies. In Lackawanna County collaborative partners include United Neighborhood Centers, Women’s Resource Center, Catholic Social Services, Community Intervention Center, Scranton Primary Health Care Center, and St. Joseph’s Center. Our role is distinctive in the community by providing emergency shelter to a highly vulnerable population of women and children beyond those in an active domestic violence situation. Continuum of Housing Programs Short Term Housing Programs 30-Day Emergency Shelter: The Catherine McAuley Center operates two free, thirty-day residences for homeless women and children in crisis.

HUD Rapid ReHousing Program: Women and children experiencing homelessness receive rental assistance and supportive services while residing in scattered site apartments. Women Leaving Prison – Transitional Housing Program: The Catherine McAuley Center operates a transitional housing program for women leaving prison. Women must meet eligibility requirements and actively participate in life-improving programs while receiving case management services that encourage re-integration. ESG Rapid ReHousing: The purpose of the program is to assist women in finding and furnishing apartments; to provide rental assistance, case management, and life skills education; and to link women and children to mainstream resources. The goal is to stabilize the families’ housing situations in permanent housing. Long-Term Housing Programs Permanent Supportive Housing for Individuals: This program assists single, chronically homeless persons with mental health and other disabilities to obtain safe, affordable housing. Permanent Supportive Housing for Families: This program assists chronically homeless families, where at least one member of the family has a disability, to obtain safe, affordable housing. Please note that in both permanent supportive housing programs the clients receive intensive case management and supportive services at scattered sites. Frances Warde House and Anne’s Home: These two residences provide safe, decent, single room occupancy at reduced rent and supportive services for single low-income, self-sufficient women.

  • Strategy Transformation and Change: Changing
    Graduate School of Business Title STRATEGY TRANSFORMATION AND CHANGE: CHANGING PARADIGMS IN AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC HEALTH AND AGED CARE John Joseph Ryan This thesis is presented as part of the requirements for the award of the Degree of Doctor of Business Administration of the Curtin University of Technology August, 2001 VOLUME 0NE Declaration This thesis is my own work. No part has been submitted for a degree at this or any other university. 2 Acknowledgements Firstly, to my family, thank you for your help and patience. A message to my wife, who put up with a great deal and who typed all of the transcripts: Parkes, my darling, it can only get better from now on! A list of acknowledgements always runs the risk of omitting people whose help and influence have been crucial, or the risk of being boringly long. Unlike the thesis itself, these acknowledgements will risk omissions in the interest of being short. My apologies to those people unfairly omitted. Ivor Davies, of St. John of God Health Care, gave me the idea to research Integration 2000. Francis Sullivan and his staff at Catholic Health Australia made the project possible, invited me to two National Conferences, guided me in setting up the sample and made themselves and their records available on several trips to Canberra. Bruce Callaghan, the consultant who helped the peak body to initiate the process, made his office files available, in his absence, and participated with Francis Sullivan in giving me a preliminary briefing at Sydney Airport. All of the respondents to this research gave freely of their insights and their time, often at considerable personal inconvenience.

The “Exxile on Euphoria” tour takes in 18 dates in 7 countries, and an increasing number of “sold out” Acting Editor: signs appearing on the schedule confirms The Sisters’ Chris Sampson continuing appeal as a live act.

  • THE EARLY HISTORY of the SISTERS of MERCY INWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA Sister Kathleen Healy
    THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE SISTERS OF MERCY INWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA Sister Kathleen Healy Congregation of Sisters of Mercy is the largest English- speaking congregation of religious women in the world. Founded Thein 1831 by Catherine McAuley in Dublin, Ireland, itnumbered thirty thousand sisters within one hundred years. The number of Mercy convents in the United States more than doubles the number of all other Mercy convents in the world.1 The birthplace of the Congregation of Mercy in the United States was not in Dublin, Cork, or Limerick, Ireland's largest cities, but in the small provincial town of Carlow. The first Mercy foundation in the United States was not in New— York, Chicago, St. Louis, or San Francisco. It was in Pittsburgh the population, 25,000; the year, 1843. When the Sisters of Mercy were first established in Dublin, they were severely criticized because they left their cloister daily to care for the poor, the sick, and the uneducated. They were called "the walking nuns" in derision, because they went out among the people to serve them. Their ideal was to be religious who were prayerful and contemplative but also active in the service of their fellowmen. They grew rapidly in numbers because both the church and the society of the mid-nineteenth century were ready for an active-contemplative congregation of women ;because teachers, nurses, and social workers were greatly needed by the people of that era ;and because religious leaders capable of combining personal spirituality with a pioneering spirit of initiative and independence were in demand. No one embodied these qualities more profoundly than Sister Frances Warde, who founded the Sisters of Mercy in Pittsburgh.
