Sr. Ann Dunsmore
professes final vows
A strong believer in the providence of God,
Sr. Ann Dunsmore recently reflected on her
sometimes circuitous journey to Nazareth.
She professed her perpetual vows Nov. 5 in
Philadelphia, with Provincial Superior Sr. Sally
Marie Kiepura accepting Sr. Ann’s vows on
behalf of the Congregation, and Msgr. Daniel
Sullivan accepting her vows on behalf of the
universal Church.
For the past eight years, she has been preparing
for her profession of her final vows – spending
time as an affiliate, a postulant, a novice and a
temporary professed sister. But, in a very real
sense, Sr. Ann sees that her entire life brings
her to her commitment to the Church and the
Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth on Nov. 5.

“As I look back and reflect on my life’s journey,
I see everything as God’s grace,” Sr. Ann says.
“When most people have reached middle age,
they have some idea where their lives are headed.
They have already established careers and have
plans for the future. And then there’s me.”
She worked as a secretary for 20 years at the
now-closed Northeastern Hospital, then left that
career to take care of her aging parents. After
the death of her father, Sr. Ann decided to seek
a position as a caregiver. Eventually, she began
working at Mt. Nazareth in Philadelphia, her
first encounter with the CSFNs. The late Sr.
Bertilla Szawlewicz encouraged her, “reassuring
me that you are never too old to become a
kingdom-builder.”
Sr. Ann’s eight years in formation with the
CSFNs “have been very enriching,” enhancing
her growth in the community and her own
relationship with God. In the past year, as part
of her preparation for final vows, “I was also
given the opportunity for a pilgrimage to Rome
and Poland to walk in our Mother Foundress’
footsteps…to see and experience our
Nazareth history unfold was one of the most
unforgettable and wonderful experiences of
my life…I felt our Foundress’ presence in each
place we visited. I was moved to tears when
we visited Nowogródek and the site where our
sisters were executed.”

Family: The Heart of Our Mission
From the Provincial Superior
The joy of angels: Our Christmas wish for you!
Dear Friends,
This holy day and holy season, my wish for you is that the joy of angels, the eagerness of the
shepherds, the perseverance of the wise men, the obedience of Mary and Joseph, and the peace
of the Christ Child be yours.
May the coming year be one of good health for you, filled with energy and vitality. May you go often
to the Bethlehem of your heart and visit the One who offers peace that, in turn, you may bring
peace into our world.
Sr. Sally Marie Kiepura, CSFN
Provincial Superior
Know that you are loved and remembered daily in my prayers and in the prayers of all the Sisters
of the Holy Family of Nazareth.
Wishing you the abundant blessings of the season, in Jesus’ name,
The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will
be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and
Lord.” Luke 2: 10-11. (Photo by Sr. Michele Vincent Fisher)
We, the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, are called to extend the Kingdom of God’s love among ourselves
and others by living the spirit of Jesus, Mary and Joseph whose lives were centered in the love of God and one
another. We witness to this love through dedicated service to the Church, especially in ministry to the family.

Sr. Ann cites God’s Providence in reflecting on her final vows
Continued from pg. 1
Sr. Ann believes strongly in God’s providence: “I don’t
believe that it was coincidence that I was led to a
congregation whose charism and mission focus on family life.
God’s hand was instrumental in leading me to the sisters
through all the twists and turns in my life thus far.”
Her hopes: “…that I will be able to bring the joy of knowing
God’s love to each person I meet and that as a professed Sister,
this knowledge and love of God be threaded through every
fabric of my life.” And, for Holy Family Province, “…that we will
continue to attract new members and be open to new endeavors
that will help us grow as religious and as a province.” 9

Ministry brings Sr. Julianna to Texas, Philadelphia and back to Vietnam
Continued from pg. 1
Sr. Julianna is among a group of 16 lay persons
who received special pontifical honors this month
at Fort Worth’s St. Patrick Cathedral. Bishop Kevin
Vann, who nominated the honorees to the Holy
See, made the presentations during a diocesan
vespers service at the cathedral. Sr. Julianna’s trip
back to Texas also enabled her to participate in the
25th anniversary celebration in early December
at Vietnamese Martyrs Parish, the diocese’s largest
Vietnamese parish, where she ministered for years.
She is being recognized for her decades of
catechetical ministry to the Vietnamese Catholic
community in Fort Worth, as well as for her
assistance in the diocesan Tribunal office and her
work with the Bishop’s office assisting immigrants
– “all immigrants, not just Vietnamese; for the
whole community in the diocese,” she notes.
“This continued to be one of my ministries; in
my religious life, I had worked with the refugee
community before I transferred to Nazareth.
Sr. Julianna’s journey of faith began at home in
Dalat, Vietnam, where “my parents had and have
a very strong faith. My parents always taught us
that we belong to God, that we have to seek out
where God wants us to be.” Two other sisters are
members of religious communities; “we serve the
people wherever God wants,” Sr. Julianna says.
Her parents still live in Vietnam, and while they
miss her, “they are happy; they want me to be
faithful to God’s call. They support me in my
vocation by prayer. When I was young, my Dad
always prayed with us for vocations from our
family.” This path took Sr. Julianna first to the
Sisters of Mary, Queen of the World, a Vietnamese
religious community. With this congregation, Sr.
Julianna served at missions in Australia and the
U.S., moving to the States in 1987.

In 1999, Sr. Julianna left her original religious
community for the Sisters of the Holy Family of
Nazareth (CSFN), making the change after long
and prayerful discernment. Her spiritual director
advised, “Wherever you go, you are saying it’s
important to be faithful to your vocation, to serve
God and the people,” Sr. Julianna recalls. “The
charism of the Holy Family community was really
my charism – what I always had been doing with
the Sisters of Mary, in my ministries and in the
immigrant communities: spreading the kingdom of
God’s love, especially to families,” she says.
When Sr. Julianna first moved to Texas, she
worked as a director of religious education (DRE)
for children. Eventually, she also ministered in
the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)
program, as well as marriage and sacramental
preparation for adults, organizing programs for
the four Vietnamese parishes in the Fort Worth
diocese.
The population of those parishes grew rapidly over
the past 20 years, and eventually, Sr. Julianna was
asked to help with the faith formation programs at
Vietnamese Martyrs, the largest of the four parishes.
Today, after serving more than seven years as the
Director of Religious Education (DRE) at Vietnamese
Martyrs Parish, Sr. Julianna is stationed at Holy
Family University in Philadelphia, where she is
working towards a master’s degree in education in
TESOL & Literacy, at the request of CSFN Superior
General Mother Jana Zawieja. (TESOL is the
acronym for Teachers of English to Speakers of
Other Languages.) She also holds a master’s degree
in pastoral ministry from the University of Dallas.
The Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Cross was established
in 1888 by Pope Leo XIII. The highest award
given to the laity by the Papacy, it recognizes
distinguished service to the Church. 9

Vocations
Spending time with Mother Foundress
Postulant Nicole Ferko, Grand Prairie, TX, recently spent some creative
reflection time with Mother Foundress. By projecting a familiar image of
Bl. Mary of Jesus the Good Shepherd onto a king-sized bed sheet, Nicole
was able to trace the image, then carefully paint it. (Srs. Edyta Krawczyk,
Marietta Osinska and Mary Paul Haase assisted!) Nicole’s image of the
Foundress was used to celebrate the Foundress’ birthday as well as her
feast day, both in November. The finished ‘canvas’ also provided a backdrop
for the recent affiliate ceremony for Toni Garrison in Grand Prairie.
Nicole says she related the artistic process to the stages of formation.
“The first picture is very faint; it is just a pencil outline I traced with the
help of overheads. I said when a woman enters formation, she barely
sees the image of who
she is in Christ.”
The woman in
formation, like the
image Nicole painted,
continues to grow:
“Her identity in God
becomes bolder and
more defined.” After
years of formation,
the woman is “filled in
with all the graces she
needs to be a total selfgift to her Beloved.”
New Associate
Toni Garrett, right, stands
before the new backdrop
as she is welcomed as a
CSFN affiliate by Sr. Michele
Vincent Fisher, national
vocational director.
Happy Feastday,
Mother Foundress!
The novices of Holy Family Province helped the
sisters at the Provincialate celebrate the Nov. 21
Feastday of Bl. Mary of Jesus the Good Shepherd
by ‘borrowing an envelope’ from their sisters in
Grand Prairie, TX. For the 125th celebration in
Grand Prairie last year, Affiliate Nicole Ferko, with
the help of Sr. John Paul, created a ‘canvas’ of
numbered envelopes, each with a quote from the
Foundress. Nicole then projected this familiar black
& white image of Mother Foundress and filled in
her canvas. Each sister was given a number, and
“as each took her number, the image disappeared
in them, but united all together, her image was very
evident,” Nicole explains. In Des Plaines, novice
Srs. Maria Sophia Gerlach, John Paul Bissonette
and Stephanie McDermott were assisted by Srs.
Sylvia Golubski and Marcella Falat in reassembling
the image for the Feastday celebration.

Steelers fans — including five CSFNs — mingled with their heroes
last month at the 19th annual Arthur Rooney Sr. Courage House
luncheon in Pittsburgh. It’s one of 19 Courage House fundraisers
hosted by NFL teams; each benefits a non-profit, such as Holy
Family Institute, serving at-risk children.
For fiscal 2010-11, proceeds from the luncheon and other
fundraisers enabled HFI to serve an estimated 9,000 families and
children in the Pittsburgh area.
Quentin Williams, an HFI alumnus, received the Rooney Courage
House award. He credits teachers at the HFI School with
changing his life. Age 21, he now saves lives as a paramedic
crew chief and is seeking certification as an emergency
medical services educator. Max Starks, Steelers’ offensive
lineman who returned to the team in October after
recuperating from a neck injury, received the Ed Block
Courage Award, voted on by his teammates. 9

Sr. Linda Yankoski, CEO of Holy Family Institute (HFI), was honored earlier this year by the
U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement for her outstanding service and commitment to the
Haitian orphans placed at Holy Family Institute following the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
In January 2010, 18 Haitian children arrived at HFI. Six left soon with sponsor families,
and over the ensuing months, 11 of the 12 remaining children were placed with sponsor
families. A special-needs child was moved to a residential care facility in Miami.

Texas Sisters introduce new traditions at the 21st annual Christmas Sing-Along
Don Streeter sounds a bit amazed at what
he started more than 20 years ago in the
CSFNs’ Grand Prairie, TX, convent. About 140
‘family members’ joined the sisters on Dec.
15 for their 21st annual Christmas Sing-Along
and Pot Luck Supper. “From very meager
beginnings,” Streeter recalls, “it has morphed
into a huge assembly of participants!”
Streeter continues to serve as master of
ceremonies for the popular event. This
year, the sisters provided some special
entertainment, including:
•A
Christmas Rhythm band (sisters playing
pots and pans, conducted by Sr. Clare
Marie Kozicki and keeping time to
“Deep in the Heart of Texas”)
Volume 5 • Number 4 • Holiday 2011
• The Nazareth Windmill Twirlers (Sr. Clare

local superior, and Monika Brulinska), and
• “Pixie & Dixie,” with Sr. Corona Molenda
joining Sr. Clare Marie in their rendition of
“Sisters” from the holiday classic “White
Christmas.”
“This year’s event was the best ever,” Streeter
reports, “with each performance rewarded by
a standing ovation.” The audience was “not
only entertained, but they also enjoyed the
genuine love and natural warmth radiated
by the Sisters at Jesus the Good Shepherd
convent,” he notes.

Sr. M. Berchmans (Josephine)
Wojnarowska March 22, 1917—Oct. 27, 2011
A native of Ansonia, CT, Josephine Wojnarowska
was educated by the Sisters of the Holy Family of
Nazareth, first at St. Joseph School in Ansonia and
subsequently at Nazareth Academy High School
in Philadelphia. She decided to join the CSFN
community in her senior year. Her older sister, Sr.
David, had entered 13 years earlier.
Sr. Berchmans completed her teacher training at Holy Family Teacher
Training School in Philadelphia, and earned a B.S. in education from
Villanova University. In 1966, she earned her master’s in Latin
from Marywood college, Scranton, PA, with a thesis on “Latin in the
Church Today,” a particularly timely topic in the wake of Vatican II.
Sr. Berchmans spent almost 60 years as a teacher and principal in
both elementary and secondary schools. She taught at schools up
and down the East Coast — in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York,
Connecticut and Massachusetts. One sister-colleague recalls the
patience Sr. Berchmans displayed while teaching math to about 120
seventh-grade students. Sr. Berchmans was known for her tough
standards, her patience, and kindness.
When Immaculate Heart of Mary Province was established in
Monroe, CT, in 1959, both Srs. Berchmans and David were part of
the new province. Sr. Berchmans often related that she was only
two when Sr. David left for the convent. “Can you Imagine, I had to
come to the convent to get to know my own sister?” she was known
to say.
Sr. Berchmans remained close to her family throughout her convent
life; in later years, she enjoyed shopping with a niece and bringing
surprises home to the sisters. Sr. Berchmans died in the wake of

A long-time teacher, Sr. Severine had retired to Monroe, CT,
in 2001, “self-sufficient and determined to do what she had
to do.” She loved to bake, and as a convent superior, she
prepared dozens of cookies for her sisters to take home with
them for the holidays. At Monroe, she was a bundle of energy,
helping prepare tasty treats as well as crafts for the annual
Lawn Festival.
The former Eleanore Lancucka, the eighth of 11 children,
attended Holy Cross Parish School in Maspeth, NY, where
she was taught by the CSFNs. She moved to Philadelphia to
attend Nazareth Academy High School, where she became a
postulant. Sr. Severine earned a B.A. from Manhattan College
in New York, and studied theology at Providence College,
Rhode Island.
She taught in Brooklyn and Utica, NY; Philadelphia; Paterson
and Lincoln Park, NJ, and Ansonia and New Haven, CT. She
also served as local superior in Philadelphia and the two New
Jersey locations.
Shortly after her birthday, Sr. Severine was hospitalized.
When she returned to Marian Heights, she was in the convent
infirmary — a big change for both Sr. Severine and the sisters
who were used to seeing her walking the corridors and playing
games in her room. 9
