Caritas Award Recognizes Commitment to Service and Justice APRIL/MAY 2008 communityA newsletter for the faculty and staff of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University Caritas Award Recognizes Commitment to Service and Justice CSB and SJU presented the Caritas Award to Maya Main, CSB class of 2008; Ben DeMarais, SJU class of 2008; Christine Kustelski, CSB class of 1996; and Paul Conroy, SJU class of 2005, on April 14 at SJU. The award recognizes their commitment to service and justice. Bernie Evans, a CSB/SJU faculty member in the theology department, gave remarks. The Caritas Award was established in 1995 with support from an anonymous donor. Two students (one from each campus) each receive $500, and the alumna and alumnus each receive $1,500 to donate in support of an organization’s service. Main, a CSB peace studies and psychology double major, pledged her donation to the Southside Boys and Girls Club in St. Cloud. Throughout her college experience, Main has worked with the youth at the Southside Club. While studying abroad in Guatemala as a junior, she facilitated a women’s self-esteem group in Cantel, a Mayan pueblo. In her final year at CSB, Main has volunteered with Casa Guadalupe, Fast Forward Youth Program and the St. Cloud Correctional Facility. DeMarais, an SJU physics major, pledged his donation to the Winona Catholic Worker. He has been involved in various campus ministry activities throughout his college years. He plans to volunteer internationally through the Saint John’s Benedictine Volunteer Corps in the coming year. Kustelski directed her donation to the Boys and Girls Club of Central Minnesota. Kustelski is currently the unit director for the Boys and Girls Club of Central Minnesota at its Southside location in St. Cloud. Kustelski has been particularly effective at guiding the children of Somali immigrant families to be successful in school and in their many adjust- ments to life in the United States. Conroy has pledged his donation to Hanga Abbey in Tanzania. Conroy traveled to Tanza- nia, in east Africa, as the first volunteer with the Saint John’s Benedictine Volunteer Corps (BVC) to serve in the remote Benedictine Abbey of Hanga.

  • PERAMIHO NEWSLETTER January – April 2019
    PERAMIHO NEWSLETTER January – April 2019 SISTERS PREPARE FOR THE 18TH PRIORY CHAPTER The Peramiho Priory had a taste of the fruit of the 13th General Chapter when our prioress, Mother Ruth Bartonico, scheduled an assembly for all the Sisters last December 27-28, 2018 for a feed- back on the highlights and message of the General Chapter. She was assisted by our delegates Sr. Gloria Haule and Sr. Katharina Mtitu (who was elected general councilor). On February 20-22, all Sisters from the three communities gathered again for a workshop, orga- nized by the Ongoing Formation Team with the theme “Unity In Diversity”, facilitated by Sr. Marga- ret, who is a member of the Congregation of the Assumption Sisters of Nairobi. She led the sisters to reflect on the different aspects of the SELF. A short video about knowing oneself better, entitled “River Me,” was shown to them. She also talked about spirituality and charism which helped the sis- ters’ discussion on the Message of the 18th General Chapter. On the 23rd, Mo. Prioress and the Sisters in charge of the priory’s ministries gave an update on the status of the Priory and of its vari- ous ministries, respectively. Five Sisters were appointed by Mother Ruth to plan the preparations for the 18th Priory Chapter scheduled on May 17-23, 2019. The members of this Preparatory Commission (PrepCom) imme- diately discussed plans to help all the Sisters understand more deeply the message of the chapter so that they can participate well in the implementation of the General Chapter mandates though their proposals.

  • Habari Nairobi – Priory June 2016
    HABARI NAIROBI – PRIORY JUNE 2016 I want to say thank you to all Sisters of Nairobi Priory for the beautiful welcome when I arrived in Karen. It was good to hear the words: ‘ We are your home’. Once more I heard the Lord telling me: “ Get up, stand and go out.(1Kings 19:15)”. Pope Francis says: “The Christian is standing, so as to welcome God in patient “silence”, in order to hear his voice and “go out” to proclaim Him to others, knowing that faith is always “an encounter”. These three attitudes, encourage and revive the lives of all those who feel overwhelmed by fear in the most difficult moments. We know that faith is neither a theory nor a science: it is an encounter. Faith is “an encounter with the living God, with God who lives, the Creator, the Lord Jesus, with the Holy Spirit, it is an encounter”. I hope that we are standing together to hear and welcome His voice in order to go out to proclaim Him to others. Sr.Rosa Maria WELCOMING SR.ROSA MARIA OSB We Nairobi priory has been looking forward for the arrival of our newly elected Prioress Sr. Rosa Maria OSB since the closer of the election chapter on 13th March. On 3rd May 2016 our dreams were realized, this the day when our new prioress stepped on the Kenyan soil though not for the first time. The plain which Sr. Rosa Maria boarded landed at 3:30 pm at The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The entire community waited patiently for her arrival at the priory house, Karen.

  • Peramiho Newsletter
    Peramiho Newsletter January – April 2020 Our Pandemic Situation While hospitals in other parts of the world were overflowing with patients infected with the coro- na virus in the early part of year 2020, life in Tanzania was basically as it was—peaceful and laid back. Many citizens were aware of the pan- demic but did not have clear picture of its effect on the patients, the frontliners, and the society as a whole. Priory Election Chapter Postponed In the priory house, the initial virus scare came when the government reported the first infected case last March 15th. Around that time Sr. Grace Mujuni, subprioress and priory treasurer, was in Dar Es Salaam which is 1,085 kilometers from Peramiho. She was there to purchase com- munity and school needs, and to welcome Sr. Lumen Gloria Dunca and Sr. Katharina Mtitu at the airport. They were scheduled to facilitate the election chapter on March 20-21. Due to the travel ban, the Generalate decided to postpone the election.
