I Make All Things NEW BEHOLD I make all things NEW. – Rev. 21:5 2018-2019 Annual Report MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends, With a heart overflowing with joy and gratitude I write to you as we close out another fiscal year. And what an amazing year it has been, a year of promises kept and dreams realized, with the completion of Merici Crossings, our new residence and congregational center. The building stands as a testimonial to the generosity of our supporters and as a pledge of the Ursuline Sisters to change and grow as needed in order to continue our legacy of service to the people of God. The theme of this year’s Annual Report, Behold, I make all things new, from the Book As women of bold of Revelation, comes to life through the stories contained within it. From sisters and faith we move loyal volunteers who have transitioned from our former motherhouse to our new home, to furnishings and treasures that have found new life and purpose through a forward, letting go massive giveaway and auction process, all – or at least much – has indeed been made of what no longer new! serves us and Reflecting on this same verse, Pope Francis wrote “We believe … that on the horizon others, seeking God’s … there is a sun that always illuminates … that our most beautiful days are yet to come … We are [people] of the springtime. So let us not cling to nostalgia, regrets direction for a new and lamentations; we know that God wants us to be the heirs to a promise and future of service. tireless cultivators of dreams.” These words touch my heart as I write in this season of autumn, as many lament the end of the summer. The Ursuline Sisters have chosen to be women of springtime, cultivators of the new. Although our initial response may have been to cling to what we have known, we chose instead to let go of the familiar, to surrender to the potential and promise of the unknown. As women of bold faith we move forward, letting go of what no longer serves us and others, seeking God’s direction for a new future of service. As a result we are witnessing the shoots of new life growing within us, cultivating our personal and communal dreams. Rooted firmly in the heart and spirit of our foremothers, we press on confidently to grab hold of our future. My heart is overflowing with gratitude for each of you and for the partnership we share. This unique relationship has generated new life and hope and brought a dream to fruition. Your generosity and belief in the Ursuline vision has brought us through an unprecedented time in our history and positioned the Ursuline congregation for a better and sustainable future. Together we have cultivated a dream and together we will continue to find God’s will in order to serve with purpose and with love, transforming society through contemplation, justice and compassion. On behalf of all my sisters, I thank you. May God bless you and all those you love. Be assured of our continued prayers now and always.

By Sister Elaine Berkopec We know change happens; that’s life! And a change in circumstances can make possible breaking open walls that were once indestructible or opening doors that were once locked tight. Something as delicate and simple as a seed can bring new life through a crack in sterile, dead concrete and stretch and grow into a flower. One of the most visible and significant changes of the past year has been the completion of and the sisters’ move into Merici Crossings, the new and sparkling residence of the Ursuline Sisters. The new home is not an end in itself, but a fresh beginning. As Sister Susan Durkin explained in her remarks at the ribbon cutting ceremony in June: Through 484 years the Ursuline Sisters have experienced numerous periods of revitalization. Today we inaugurate an era of revitalization for the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland who have had the privilege of serving the Diocese of Cleveland for 169 years. Merici Crossings serves as the cornerstone of our planning for the future. Our Foundress, St. Angela Merici encouraged us to read the signs of the times and to take risks in service of the mission. Our legacy planning for this property is God’s invitation to us to plan not only for ourselves, but for others. We will endeavor to serve as long as possible and continue to build relationships that will help shape the future. We stand on the shoulders of giants and on an incredible legacy of mission, but we cannot live in the glory of past achievements. We move forward rooted in our bold faith, ready to seize this moment to serve in a unique way. We have all read about the dwindling numbers of vowed religious. But let us recall that St. Angela began her company with only twelve women. That is testament to Margaret Mead’s reminder that “a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world.” We strive to remain vibrant and creative as we seek new ways to make the gospel a reality in our time. We are called to risk more, give more, and BE more and we sense a freedom in that reality we have never felt before. “Behold I make all things new,” Jesus says to us today. We Ursulines owe and offer our deepest gratitude to all those listed in this publication—and those who have asked to remain anonymous—for your support given through your prayers, service, and treasure, and for your work with us to promote God’s mission of contemplation, justice, and compassion in order to make all things new now in our world and into the future. www.ursulinesisters.org | 5 BOLD FAITH | BUILDING A FUTURE capital campaign reaches fulfillment in the new Ursuline residence, Merici Crossings Ribbon Cutting was done by: Tom Chema, Project Manager; M.

  • Annual Report 2011-2012
    Mater Matters FALL 2012 ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 OPENING COMMENTS From the Principal During a recent trip to my ancestral home, Ireland, I visited St. Patrick’s Church in Glenbrohane where my great grandparents were married. This simple country church overlooks a sweeping vista of rolling hills, dotted with sheep and cows belonging to the local farmers. My cousin, Mike Tobin, whispered to me during Mass, “That chalice was the one used at your great grandmother’s wedding. The church has only one, and I am sure that was the one used.” I was distracted during Mass thinking about where John Buckley stood as he watched Ellen Tobin walk down the aisle. How did they meet? What walks did they walk? What dreams did they have for the future? Did they envision what their own life would become — immigrating to America, their future home in Philadelphia? Probably not. What John and Ellen saw was a loom inviting them to weave the fabric of their lives together into a tapestry they would never see completed. And that is the story for all of our ancestors — they weave, they make their contribution, and then they turn it over to successive generations. Catherine McAuley had the same experience. She never intended to start a religious congregation. She was advised, however, that if she wanted her work to have longevity, she needed to turn her House of Mercy into a convent. Although she opened many convents with schools and safe houses, she did not live long enough to see the tapestry of Mercy life in the United States.

  • OHIO COLLEGE INITIATIVE to Enhance Student Wellness
    OHIO COLLEGE INITIATIVE to enhance student wellness Prevention Action Alliance (PAA) created the Ohio College Initiative in 1996 when leaders from 19 campuses and various state officials united to address the issue of underage drinking on college and university campuses. From its beginning, the Ohio College Initiative formed campus-community coalitions who worked to change the alcohol-related culture surrounding college campuses. In fact, OCI was the first statewide initiative to utilize the environmental management approach to tackle such an issue nationally. To change campus culture, campuses would alter the physical, social, economic, and legal environments (including informal rules in the form of customs, traditions and norms) in order to influence the decisions that students make about alcohol use. Since those beginnings in 1996, the initiative has grown to include 54 member institutions ranging from two and four-year campuses, public and private schools, large and small, rural and urban colleges and universities. Now, OCI’s purview extends beyond alcohol-specific concerns to address all mental, emotional, and behavioral health impacts students may experience. PAA continues to provide technical assistance, training services, and networking opportunities, including meetings, consultations, web- based resource development, linkages with state and national organizations, and effective communications strategies between all partners and supporting organizations. Additionally, Prevention Action Alliance collects and reports data gathered from member institutions. College and university presidents are asked to make a commitment to OCI and to appoint a designated liaison. Those individuals actively engage in the initiative, participate in meetings and trainings, conduct/update campus needs assessments, form/sustain campus/community coalitions, implement one or more of the five environmental strategies, and become familiar with and strategically uses tenants of research-driven and evidence-based environmental prevention.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Gendering Trauma and Healing in a Post­ Conflict Environment: Las Dignas, Mental Health, and the Empowerment of Salvadoran Women A dissertation presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Massey University, Turitea Campus, Palmerston N01th, New Zealand Helen Margaret Leslie 1999 11 Abstract There is no doubt that the experience of war, be it war between nation states or civil war, varies considerably for both male and females. The twelve year civil war in El Salvador was no exception. Salvadoran women who worked in various sectors as combatants, urban collaborators, home-makers, nurses, cooks or radio operators for the guerrilla fo rces, experienced the war and now experience so-called peace, in ways that relate directly to the construction of the fe male sex in Salvadoran society. As a result of these gendered experiences many Salvadoran women are suffering trauma despite the cessation of the war in 1992. This trauma acts to disempower these women and to prevent them from actively participating in the important processes of post-conflict reconstruction currently taking place in Salvadoran society This thesis aims to analyse the approach taken by one Salvadoran organisation fo r fe minist political action, Las Dignas, in healing the trauma of Salvadoran women. Reviewing relevant literature on gender and development theory and gender and conflict theory, and drawing on fe minist methods in the fieldwork context, it will show how the healing process employed by Las Dignas is empowering Salvadoran women at both personal and socio-political levels.
