SUPPORT OUR AGING RELIGIOUS 2018 ANNUAL REPORT AND STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTABILITY December 2018 Dear Benefactors and Friends of SOAR!, I am pleased to present to you the financial summary of the work of SOAR! during the fiscal year June 30, 2017 – July 1, 2018. This statement of accountability shows the financial viability of this organization, but the words of our grant recipients describes the true impact of your donations to SOAR!: “I love to say my Rosary looking out my new window.” (Sr. Patricia, age 94) “My room is so much brighter now and it is not cold anymore.” (Sr. Stella, age 104) “I like to sit by the window and read, and now I am so much warmer without feeling the cold drafty air.”(Sr. Francis, age 94) Missionary Franciscan Sisters, Tenafly, NJ The sisters benefiting from the bathroom upgrades reside on the St. Martin De Porres home care floor of the Motherhouse and are not currently in active ministry. The upgrades serve the immediate comfort and safety needs of our aging sisters and are in place for the benefit of sisters currently in ministry who will one day retire to the home care floor. Upgrades such as this facilitate better hygiene and increase their sense of dignity as they are able to perform simple personal care tasks without assistance from the home care staff. Dominican Sisters of Blauvelt, NY “Our retired Sisters who live at St. Joseph Villa, unless they are no longer mentally capable, are actively engaged in ministry – our Congregation’s Ministry of Prayer. This grant from SOAR! has made a significant, indirect impact on the ability of our aging and infirm Sisters to remain engaged in the Ministry of Prayer and thus, make a vital contribution to our Congregation. Bernardine Franciscan Sisters, Reading, PA Since 1986, Support Our Aging Religious has been faithful to its mission of providing assistance to aging religious. Thanks to you, SOAR! is in a strong financial position and will continue this ministry for many years to come. May God continue to bless you for your generosity, care and concern for our aging Sisters, Priests and Brothers. With prayers of gratitude, Sister Kathleen Lunsmann, IHM SOAR! President Support Our Aging Religious, Inc. (SOAR!)

    Joy of the Gospel: Path for Renewal in Uncertain Times

    2020 RCRI Virtual Conference Joy of the Gospel: Path for Renewal in Uncertain Times 12:00 noon – 4:00 PM (ET) Friday, October 23. 2020 Friday, October 30, 2020 Friday, November 6, 2020 2 2020 RCRI Virtual Conference WELCOME TO THE 2020 VIRTUAL CONFERENCE!! On behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff of the Resource Center for Religious Institutes, I welcome you to the 2020 virtual Conference. Though different from our in-person conferences, we look forward to an enriching conference experience as RCRI begins a new decade of service. We have developed a program of 18 workshop/webinars for the virtual experience with topics that we hope will assist you in addressing the financial and legal issues facing your institutes, especially during these uncertain times. This year’s conference theme is Joy of the Gospel: A Path for Renewal in Uncertain Times reflecting the joy and newness of the Gospel. Pope Francis urges us in New Wine in New Wineskins “to not have fear of making changes according to the law of the Gospel…leave aside fleeting structures – they are not necessary...and get new wineskins, those of the Gospel.” He goes on to say that “one can fully live the Gospel only in a joyous heart and in a renewed heart” (page 31). Fifty-five years ago this October, the Decree on the Renewal of Religious Life, Perfectae caritatis was approved by the Second Vatican Council. The document calls religious and the entire Church to adaptation and renewal of religious life based on a return to the spirit of the founders in the light of the signs of the times.

Jon Cruz Simonetta Falsca-Zamponi John Mohr Denise Bielby, Committee Chair December 2018 Sisterhood on the Frontier: Catholic Women Religious in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1850- 1925 Copyright © 2018 by Jamila Jamison Sinlao iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In so many ways, this dissertation is a labor of love, shaped by the formative years that I spent as a student at Mercy High School, Burlingame. There, the “Mercy spirit”—one of hospitality and generosity, resilience and faith—was illustrated by the many stories we heard about Catherine McAuley and Mary Baptist Russell. The questions that guide this project grew out of my Mercy experience, and so I would like to thank the many teachers, both lay and religious, who nurtured my interest in this fascinating slice of history. This project would not have been possible without the archivists who not only granted me the privilege to access their collections, but who inspired me with their passion, dedication, and deep historical knowledge. I am indebted to Chris Doan, former archivist for the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary; Sister Marilyn Gouailhardou, RSM, regional community archivist for the Sisters of Mercy Burlingame; Sister Margaret Ann Gainey, DC, archivist for the Daughters of Charity, Seton Provincialate; Kathy O’Connor, archivist for the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, California Province; and Sister Michaela O’Connor, SHF, archivist for the Sisters of the Holy Family.

    The Next Century in Anglican Monasticism

    The Next Century in Anglican Monasticism A. Appleton Packard, O.H.C. Fr. Packard is Master of Postulants and Cantor of the O rder of the Holy Cross of the Episcopal Church, at West Park, Ulster County, N . Y. He returned a year or so ago from several years' service in t he Holy Cross Mission, Liberia, West Africa. He was graduated in 1929 from the Gen­ eral Theological Seminary in New York City with the degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology. Look back more than one hundred and twenty years. On March 26, 1845, two Sisters of the Holy Cross began corporate, community religious life in a bouse at 17 Park Village West, Regent's Park, London. They were the first Anglican nuns in over three centuries. From this tiny beginning there grew and steadily flourished the great tree of monasticism now firmly planted in the world-wide spiritual garden of Anglicanism. Look back nearly seventy years. At the opening of the 1900s, a half-century after the life of the Counsels for both men and women was permanently re-established, the greater communities bad gained and proved their stability; they were already rooted at home in Eng­ land and in the outlying provinces of the whole Communion. By this time other communities of less sure foundation bad succumbed or were tending towards dissolution. But the tide bad turned; secular 234 Dominicana opposition waned; ecclesiastical suspicion changed to growing, posi­ tive approval. Our Anglican Church had added fresh proof of her all-embracing, essential, fundamental Catholicity, by means of the fertility and fruitage of holy religion.

Gautier, Ph.D. | Mark M. Gray, Ph.D. n spring 2014, the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) initiated a longitudinal study of women religious in the I United States drawing on data reported by the religious insti- tutes of women listed in the Official Catholic Directory (OCD). The contributions of women religious in the United States continue to be evident today in Catholic institutions of education and healthcare across the country, but there are, and have been, countless other con- tributions as well. Over the years, these valiant women have adapted to changing circumstances and forged ahead despite challenges to their way of life and ministry. The U.S. Catholic Church is indebted to the ministerial efforts and sacrifices made by women religious in the past and present. This CARA Special Report is an effort to disentangle the story of women religious in the United States that is hidden in the numbers.

  • Koch Foundation 2011 Annual Report

    Koch Foundation 2011 Annual Report

    Mission Statement Carl Koch’s belief that he was “just a steward of the fi nances given by God to use on His behalf” inspired the commitment he and his wife, Paula, made to founding the Koch Foundation in 1979. The Foundation’s goals are to strengthen and to propagate the Roman Catholic faith by providing grant support for a wide variety of evangelization eff orts. In considering applications, major emphasis is placed on sound but fi nancially needy evangelical programs. The Koch Foundation is international in scope with no geographical preference. Carl and Paula Koch 2 Letter From The Executive Director I have been blessed in my life to have had several family members who chose to dedicate their lives in service to God, so there has never been a time when I did not visit my relatives and see a cousin dressed all in black with a worn yet beloved Rosary tucked carefully into her simple belt. I can remember as a young child Sister teaching me to say the Rosary and telling me that whenever I attended Mass I was to pray the Rosary. That memory has stayed with me into adulthood and, when I became a mother, the Rosary took on a special and personal meaning. I found I was praying the Rosary more often and usually for something concerning my son and family. I began to realize that I needed the solace I could only fi nd by praying the Rosary. Like many parents, in addition to my work at the Foundation I am also my son’s chauff eur, carting him to and from various sports events.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT As we gather for this National Assembly in 2019, we recall the gifts and challenges that have been ours during this past twelve months. At our Assembly in 2018 we launched the new National CRA structure. The CRA Council was entrusted to carry forward the vision of this reality across Australia. This was an exciting opportunity in which to be involved. It required both delighting in the birthing of the new and at the same time engaging with the experience of transition. Of significance has been the establishment of the CRA committees, the State networking bodies and the work of the CRA council as well as the development of the secretariat. There is much to celebrate and appreciate in what has been achieved. During these days of the Assembly, the Council will shall share with you the next phase of the implementation of this National CRA structure. Embracing the Vision of the National CRA Structure At the heart of this vision has been our on-going commitment to participation in the mission of God.
