Compiled by Mercy Communicators 17 Spice of Mercy Life By Sister Sheila Carney (New York, Pennsylvania, Pacific West) From the Institute Leadership Team Dear Sisters, Associates, Companions and Mercy Volunteers, Traditionally the month of May invites us to ponder and pray with Mary, that young spirit-filled Jewish woman who delight- ed in God. Theologian Elizabeth A. Johnson, CSJ, encourages us to connect our life-story with Mary’s, thereby tapping our courage and depth of imagination to enact God’s dream for our world today. Mary was a strong and intelligent woman; she was not submissively pious. Mary actually had the wits to question the angel who visited and shared God’s invitation for her life. Like so many women of our world today Mary experienced poverty and suffering, oppression, flight and exile. Yet, in the midst of life’s daily struggles Mary gave active and responsible consent to the invitation of God; she heard the word of God and acted on it. In many respects Mary reminds us of Catherine McAuley, another woman who heard the word of God within her own life circumstances and acted upon it. We can only imagine that she too had the wits to question both herself and God about her desires, dreams and practical but enterprising plan to respond to the poor of Dublin in her own day. THE INSTITUTE LEADERSHIP TEAM Recalling Mary and Catherine is not an exercise in nostalgia. Looking back on our lives or (STANDING) SISTERS PAT MCDERMOTT, the lives of others is always in service of the future. As Elizabeth Johnson states, “memory MARY PAT GARVIN, EILEEN CAMPBELL; releases energy for discipleship.” The memory of Mary and Catherine inspires us to make (SEATED) SISTERS ANNE CURTIS AND courageous choices in our own lives, to ask “what really matters” and to partner with God DEBORAH TROILLETT in creating a future that, of necessity, is always at least partially unknown. As Sisters of Mercy of the Americas we are presently exploring our future and how best to move forward as we continue “to seek justice, to be compassionate and to reflect mercy to our world” (Constitutions, 84). Journeying into the future always requires that we tap our personal and communal courage and depth of imagination so that we, like Mary and Catherine, may hear the word of God and act on it in our own day. So during this month of May let us pray that the God of mercy, wisdom and mystery may guide us in the months to come as we ponder our future for the sake of our life and mission in God’s suffering world.

MID-ATLANTIC CELEBRATIONS ABOUND in the Mid-Atlantic Community! Over 95 sisters celebrated their jubilees this calendar year at local liturgies and events. These wonderful women were acknowledged for their dedication, love and service following in the footsteps of Catherine McAuley. Sisters were also recognized during National Catholic Sisters Week at Georgian Court University in Lakewood, New Jersey, at an Evening Experience. The purpose of this event was to instruct, enlighten and bring greater focus to the lives of women religious. Over 30 sisters gathered with college students in prayer to listen, share their vocation stories and familiarize students with religious life. At the gathering, students premiered videos of interviews with sisters they produced and developed earlier in the year.

JAMES BAYTOP, OF SPKINGFIKLD, GLOUCESTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA, AND HIS WIFE, LUCY TALIAFEEEO CATLETT, OF ""TIMBERNECK/" GLOUCESTER COUNTY, VIRGINIA, THIS PAMPHLET IS MOST LOVINGLY DEDICATED. William Carter Stubbs. PREFACE. 1235103 For many years the author of this pamphlet has been collecting data relative to the Catlett family of the United States. So far as our extensive investigations have been made, the only immigrants of this name to this country at any time were Col. John and his two minor sons, Nicholas and Thomas, who came over in 1650 and settled on the Eappahannock Eiver in Virginia. Therefore every one bearing this name must trace his descent back to Col. John or his two minor sons. Mr. W. G-. Stannard, Editor of the Virginia Historical Magazine and Secretary of the Virginia Historical So- ^.., entertains Y ciety—the highest authority on Virginia genealogies— )^ the same opinion. With this opinion, every one bearing this name, ^- wherever found, has been requested by letter (sometimes several), to give all the information possessed or obtainable, of her or his branch and its history. Many of these letters are still unanswered, and therefore no additional information obtained. It is reasonably certain that a goodly number of families of this name scattered throughout the country are still unrevealed, and therefore cannot be named in these pages.
