If you find inaccurate information or to notify us of a change of address, please call us at 617-746-2114. 2 CONNECTING Dear Friends, “The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament proclaims the work of God’s hand!” Psalm 19 The universe speaks so loudly to us of the wonder of God. This time, this season proclaims that Resurrection, new life is possible and that the whole of creation is constantly changing, is ever new. During this time, this season - our Sister Ann Moynihan, after a brief illness, entered into the fullness of life. For several years Sister Ann served the Congregation faithfully in the Office of Mission Advancement. She loved this ministry and she often spoke of the wonderful donors with whom she related. Thank you for being among them. It is appropriate then that during this time, this season, that we remember and name all who share life with us, and those who are now enjoying fullness of life. It is also a time that we say thank you to the many families who have asked that in lieu of flowers donations be sent to the Congregation. It is this generosity that allows us to continue to provide for our elderly and ill sisters, and serve God’s people in many ways through our ministries. We thank you for partnering with us by helping to meet the many unmet needs within our society. Know that you and your intentions are remembered in our daily prayer. For the past six years it has been my privilege to serve as President of the Congregation. I am grateful for your supportive presence during this time. In June, Sister Rosemary Brennan will assume the position of President. I know she will be grateful for your support and care for the Congregation and our ministries. Know that I will continue to hold each of you and your family in prayer as well. May you continue to declare the glory of God as you live into this time, this season of new life, of Resurrection, of Easter possibility. May God our Creator, Jesus our Redeemer, and the Spirit who calls us to new life be with you. Sincerely, Mary L. Murphy, CSJ President From the Office of Mission Advancement IN MEMORIAM SISTER ANN MOYNIHAN On March 29, 2012, the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Mission Advancement Team experienced a profound loss. Sister Ann Moynihan, director of the Office of Mission Advancement, passed away after a brief illness. Her final days were lived with courage, grace, and peace. Sister Ann Moynihan always had the knack of saying “Yes,” without saying so. She lived this way for 56 years as a Sister of St. Joseph of Boston. Sister Ann showed through her work, actions, and interactions with people that she believed in them. Her unspoken, yet ever-present trust in God never wavered and her daily presence created hope for the “Dear Neighbor.” During her illness, Sister Ann wrote, “One of the greatest joys of my life has been living it as a Sister of St. Joseph. Being able to serve God and those in need with my sisters, and more recently associates; working together with my coworkers, especially those at the Motherhouse, for the last six years has been a wonderful life. . .thank you so much for praying and accompanying me on the journey.” We honor Sister Ann’s beliefs about mission and ministry by continuing to be mindful of the needs of others. We celebrate her life and legacy by saying “Yes,” through our ministry. As we go forward with you, our donors, the Mission Advancement Team will carry on in the spirit and memory of Sister Ann.

Not only did she grow up in Brighton, but her parents grew up there and graduated from Brighton High School. During a recent interview at the Motherhouse, Sister Regina recalled attending Our Lady of the Presentation School in Oak Square and then at Notre Dame Academy in Kenmore Square. “I remember driving by the Mount every day on my way to Notre Dame Academy,” she said with a smile. Her becoming a Sister of St. Joseph, it seems, was meant to be. Sister Regina has pleasant memories of how her vocation with the sisters began when she was studying at Regis College. “I met some wonderful women. I liked what I saw.” After talking with some of them, she made her decision. She entered on Sept. 8, 1946, and she has not stopped reflecting the mission of the Sisters of St. Joseph through her various ministries. Her ministries have included elementary school teaching, religious education, pastoral work, and bereavement counseling. Looking back on her many assignments, Sister Regina believes they were all “ministries of presence.” And, even though she turned 85 this past July 4, Sister Regina does not see herself as retired; rather, “I just change ministries!” 6 CONNECTING In fact, for the past ten years, she has provided bereavement counseling for the Dolan Funeral Home of Dorchester/Milton, MA. She helps families cope with the death of a loved one and with the funeral, encouraging them to plan services that are uplifting. “It lifts my heart to know that as a Sister of St. Joseph I’ve helped a family through a difficult time,” said Sister Regina. She also contacts each family a few weeks after the funeral to see how they are doing. Known as aftercare, “it is important,” she said, “to re-assure them there is help available. You help by being a good listener, and they appreciate it.” This is what Sister Regina is doing now, but where did it all begin? “I saw a need to help children. . . and to introduce them to the Lord in various ways.” From 1949-1952, she taught second grade at Immaculate Conception School in East Weymouth, MA, where she had 63 students in her class! Then, she was promoted to sixth grade at St. Aidan School in Brookline, MA. Two years later, she taught sixth and seventh grades at St. Catherine School in Norwood, MA, where class size was as high as 50 students. For eight years, beginning in 1961, Sister Regina taught eighth grade at St. Ambrose School in Dorchester, MA, and then at St. Angela School in Mattapan, MA, where she taught eighth grade for five years. During her time at St. Angela School, she studied in the Master Teacher Program for Religious Education. Using what she learned from that program, Sister Regina then taught in the program at Aquinas in Newton, MA. By 1974, Sister Regina had been teaching eighth grade for 13 years so she decided it was time to move on. She wanted her next ministry to be in religious education. She said, “I saw a need to help children . . . and to introduce them to the Lord in various ways.” Her first assignment in religious education was at Sacred Heart in Newton, MA, where she taught from 1976-1980. The next 13 years were spent at Our Lady of Good Counsel in Quincy, MA, where she began as director of religious education, and then became a pastoral associate. “I did everything, and loved it. The people were so wonderful,” she said. Her parish work there and later at St. Elizabeth Parish in Milton, MA, from 1994-2002, confirmed her realization that she loved pastoral work. During her eight years at St. Elizabeth Parish, she also began her work in bereavement counseling. (Sister holds a masters degree in counselor training from Boston State College.) Sister Regina said that during her pastoral ministries she loved working with families and the local community. The people she worked with were “receptive, helpful, and sympathetic.” Seeing herself as a people person, she said, “I am more comfortable in my parish work. Connecting to the community is important, because you are doing something worthwhile, even if it’s just listening.” Sandwiched between her teaching and pastoral ministries, Sister Regina also enjoyed a sabbatical from 1993-94, when she spent time at the Mercy Center in Madison, CT, and at the Weston School of Theology in Cambridge, MA. She said it was a good change for her, and a valuable opportunity to relax and learn. Assessing her 65 years as a Sister of St. Joseph, she said, “I have had all kinds of opportunities along the way, and have been able to learn a great deal and share it with others. God has blessed me in many ways.” She has had many wonderful opportunities in her life, and she is grateful for that. Above: Sister Regina with Father James Curtin and Father Leonard McGrath. Right: Sister Regina speaking with parishioners. What does it mean to be a Sister of St. Joseph? With a smile, she responded quickly, “To live the vowed life, to be involved in different aspects of life, to have quiet time, and to be part of this Congregation.” Two excerpts from the CSJ Dare to Dream prayer are meaningful to Sister Regina and seem to sum up her commitment to the Sisters of St. Joseph. These excerpts are: “…to keep our eyes and hearts open to your (God’s) daily presence in our lives,” and “Enable us to dare to listen to signs of life and death in our own lives, in the lives of those with whom we minister, and in the life of our world.”† - Judy Wasserman is a free lance writer who has written for the Allston-Brighton TAB, and writes for the Burlington Union.

Citizen (Pictured on the front cover: Sister Pat Andrews, Christela Louis and Mary Rita Weschler) Our Cristo Rey Boston student, Christela Louis, who worked in the Office of Mission Advancement, became a United States Citizen on March 29, 2012. Christela, who is a native of Haiti, mentioned her dream of becoming a citizen of the United States. This dream began to become a reality when Sister Ann Moynihan approached a donor and asked whether they would make a donation to help defray the fees involved. The donor agreed and Christela began the process. Within six months her dream became a reality. Sister Pat Andrews, Director of The Literacy Connection, guided and coached Christela through the process. We are all very proud of her and congratulate Christela Louis on this life-changing achievement.

O’Neil I t might be said that Sister Theresa Ann Jardin came to the novitiate of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston riding on the winds of a hurricane. Sister Terry and 57 young women began their studies at the novitiate in Framingham, MA, in September 1954. A hurricane preceded their arrival and another followed shortly after they entered. “They called us the hurricane postulants,” Sister Terry said in a recent interview. A native of Stoughton, MA, Sister Terry is the youngest of eight children of Portuguese immigrant parents, who hailed from the Island of Madeira off the coast of Portugal. “My parents spoke Portuguese at home, but I always answered in English.” Her education began at St. Mary Elementary School, followed by four years at Stoughton High School, since her parents were unable to afford Catholic high school tuition. “I was very active in drama, glee club, the dance committees, the school newspaper, etc.” Little whispers nudged her to enter the convent. But, Sister Terry decided to attend Bridgewater State Teachers College instead. After a couple of years, when she was 19, and despite strong resistance from her parents, Sister Terry acted on her desire to become a Sister of St. Joseph. “My first trip on the subway was to visit Reverend Mother to apply to the Congregation.” Her former English teacher and drama coach, Mary Jane Commane, a Regis graduate, was tremendously supportive of her entering religious life. Given the religious name Sister Marie Emmanuel, she pronounced first vows in 1957 and continued her college education, receiving her bachelor degree from Regis College. She later returned to Bridgewater State College for her Masters in Math Education. 12 CONNECTING Her first mission was to Our Lady of Grace School, Chelsea, MA, where for six years, she taught first and fourth grade. Then, during a classroom visitation, her community supervisor asked if she liked math. Her “yes” answer resulted in being sent to teach seventh grade math at Immaculate Conception, North Cambridge, MA, for three years and eighth grade math at St. John the Evangelist, Canton, MA, for nine years. “I was so involved there…teaching, directing plays and working with the junior singers, as well as overseeing the yearbook.” She also taught math and computer classes at St. Clare High School, Roslindale, MA, for four years. When her mother died she moved back to the family home in Stoughton to care for her father. “My parents had come around to my entering the convent, so it was a delight to see a plaque on the living room wall: ‘I am the proud father of a nun’.” For nine years, she commuted to work and spent Tuesday and Thursday nights at the convent to participate in community life. In August 1988, ready for a change in ministry, she went to work in the Office for Pastoral Ministries of the Archdiocese of Boston. To her amazement, she said, “The director pulled gifts out of me that I didn’t know I had. . .things like creative publishing and planning liturgies.” At the same time, as an offshoot of the group C.A.R.E. (Charism and Roots Experience), and under the leadership of Sister Julie Harkins, she joined four sisters in an Intentional Community, living together based on the charism of their French founder, Jesuit Father Jean-Pierre Médaille. Her six-year “itch” led to another ministry when Sister Terry joined Sister Barbara Reney on the retreat team at St. Joseph Retreat Center, Cohasset, MA. “My title was Registrar/Bursar, but we did everything that was needed.” In addition to daily and weekend retreats, she helped to host parish groups, Holy Week services, quilting prayer sessions, and mornings of prayer where she led the music for liturgy. “Sometimes, at a morning of prayer, we had nearly 60 people attend, their chairs spilling out into the hallways. All the creative things I did in high school were put to use there.” The retreat center was scheduled for a new administration team, so Sister Terry went on a well-earned sabbatical attending Berakah, in Pittsfield, NH. The mission of Berakah is to provide a holistic renewal program for women religious, allowing them to recognize their own uniqueness and gifts and to provide the tools to do this. Over two sessions, she participated in every possible class, as well as music and drama. “I even did solo liturgical dancing,” she said delightedly. Would she enter religious life again? “I sure would. Maybe I’d do a few things differently - I am basically pretty shy.” For Sister Terry, her call to religious life is a privilege. “The whole point of ministry,” she said, “is responding to the needs of our Dear Neighbor, which is the bedrock of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston.” Sister Terry Jardin lives that daily. † -Patricia J. O’Neil is a freelance writer who lives in Rockville Centre, New York. “The whole point of ministry . . . is responding to the needs of the Dear Neighbor . . .” In September 2007, she became the administrative assistant in the diocesan Office of Child Advocacy. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops had issued a document: “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People,” providing directives for a safe environment for children by educating adults and children on the signs and symptoms of child abuse. Currently, part of her duties involves maintaining a database of some 75,000 adults who attend Protecting God’s Children sessions, which train participants in the task of child abuse prevention. Along with her ministry work, Sister Terry is a member of the CSJ Chorus. Not to be outdone with singing, she was also a member of the CSJ Orchestra. “Never having played the trumpet, I was handed one and learned to play it to enter into the orchestra.” In addition, she was on the Liturgical Commission of the Congregation for over twenty years. With such full days, Sister Terry said: “I’m not ready to retire yet.” She enjoys reading, knitting prayer shawls for hospital patients, helping out at Casserly House, listening to music, and visiting family. She also hosts an annual Jardin Family Christmas celebration, where, with numerous siblings, nieces and nephews, they gather yearly for a day of laughter, food, and fun.

And, since then, she has been growing, teaching, learning, and connecting to her ministries and the Congregation. Her ministries have, in fact, taken her to the classroom, the Sisters of St. Joseph Retreat Center in Cohasset, MA, pastoral service in a parish, and work on the CSJ Leadership Team. During a recent telephone interview, Sister Barbara said that all along the way she has made many friends, learned a great deal, and has always been thankful to God for guiding her. “I always seem to find things (to do) easily. God has always opened doors for me,” she said. Sister Barbara grew up in Dorchester, MA, and for eight years attended St. Ambrose School, and later, Mount St. Joseph Academy in Brighton, MA. When she was in the seventh grade, she remembers attending the wake of a Mount teacher, and seeing the sisters in a different light. There they were, taking care of everything, talking, planning, and not being teachers, she recalled. “It made an impression on me, and I went home and told my mother I wanted to be a nun tomorrow!” Tomorrow came in 1950 when entered the Congregation and received the name Sister Michelle. For her first several years as a Sister of St. Joseph, Sister Barbara taught at various local parochial schools. She also attended a government-funded summer program at Elmira College in New York, where she studied French. She believes that program helped change her life. “I asked to go, applied for and received the grant, and went to Elmira,” she said. Through that whole process, she realized, “I could do something on my own.” 18 CONNECTING In 1967, she began the first of many eightyear-long assignments, this time at Fontbonne Academy in Milton, MA. At Fontbonne, she taught English and French, and has “happy memories” of that time, even though there were the social challenges of changes in the Church, Congregation, and the Vietnam War. In 1973, the sisters opened the Retreat Center in Cohasset. Sister Barbara began a new ministry there. She then attended a one-year spirituality program at the Jesuit School of Theology in Berkley, CA. She said she appreciated the opportunity to study theology, discuss spiritual direction, and meet people from all over the world. She returned to the Retreat Center after the program was completed, working there for eight more years. With a chuckle, she noted that many of her ministries have lasted eight years. Above: Sister Barbara (R) at a Retreat Center fund raiser with singers John Raitt and Ann Marie Alberghetti. Below: CSJ Associates walking the path to the labyrinth’s center. Then, in 1983, Sister became pastoral associate at St. Patrick Parish in Stoneham, MA. Calling it a “vibrant parish,” Sister Barbara enjoyed her years there, working with the elderly and various groups in the parish. Reflecting the sisters’ mission to connect with the community, she also taught poetry-writing at the Stoneham Senior Center. Sister Barbara described the experience as “very rewarding,” especially helping people express their feelings through writing. She particularly remembers a retired engineer and a widow who both gained much from thinking about themselves and then putting their thoughts into poetry. Sister Barbara spent the next eight years as a CSJ Leadership Team Area Councilor, and then returned to the Retreat Center for another eight years. This time, with help from friends, neighbors and townspeople, a labyrinth was built adjacent to the Retreat Center and overlooking the water. It took a long time to complete, but is now a peaceful and meaningful part of everyday life at Cohasset. Sister Barbara explained, “It’s not a maze, but rather a definite path which includes a walk to and from the center. It’s a place of prayerful experience.” Sister Barbara said the Retreat Center is “very special and meaningful to me.” “God has always opened doors for me. . .” Despite her love of Cohasset, teaching called her back, and in 2002, she joined the staff of Ursuline Academy in Dedham, MA, first as a student supervisor, and then as a seventh and ninth grade English teacher. This year, she is teaching seventh and eighth grade English. Sister Barbara said she is grateful to God for the diversity of her ministries, and believes she has often been in the right place at the right time. She also appreciates the connection to people and community she has experienced. She recalled meeting a former student from St. Patrick in Stoneham, MA, whom she had not seen in 30 years. She also was able to counsel one former student through an illness. She said she loved her parish work in Stoneham, but that every community “is an important part of my life.” Sister Barbara (R), with Margerie Owen Driscoll (C), and Sister Catherine Gilmore (L) at the Mount Saint Joseph Academy 125th Anniversary celebration. In fact, for Sister Barbara, “being a sister is my life. It’s in the fiber of my being.” She is also a member of the 57 Poets & Writers group in Brighton (named for the #57 bus that travels through Brighton Center), which has been very rewarding. How did she find out about it? From a friend she met at her water aerobics class at the Brighton YMCA. “When you reach out to the community and become involved in activities like writing and swimming, you become one with the community and you understand it better,” said Sister Barbara. When she is not in the classroom, she likes to write, especially poetry and memoirs. She reads mysteries, as well as current and classic fiction. Despite her varied ministries, Sister Barbara is glad to be back in the classroom. “I like associating with the young people and passing on knowledge to them.” Her wide range of experiences enables her to pass on her knowledge and wisdom to young people. † Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston 19 Sisters and Associates celebrate St. Joseph Day 2012. continued from page 17 John F.

Chosen for “their service to the Church and God’s people,” Sisters Marian and Maureen Joseph were nominated by their area vicars. Their nominations were approved by their regional bishops, and the awards were given by Cardinal Sean O’Malley. These Sisters were among many recipients of the Cheverus Medal, which was presented for the first time during a celebration of the Archdiocese of Boston Bicentenial. The medal is named for Bishop de Cheverus who oversaw the diocese from 1808-1824. Sister Marie Claire Goudey (L) received the CARE Award from Newton Wellesley Hospital for her quality treatment and service to patients and their families. Her reputation of working with the staff, families with ill members, or friends who are ill, is outstanding. She strives to give support and comfort in times of emotional stress. The late Sister Stephen Marie Driscoll received a citation from the mayor and the Board of Alderman of Somerville, MA, recognizing “all of her efforts to care for the spiritual and corporall needs of parishioners and the children of St. Benedict Parish.” Connected as Principal and instructor of Little Flower School, Sister Stephen Marie devoted her energy to students for over 40 years. Sister Laura Turbini (R) was recently honored with the Surface Mount Technology Association Founders Award. Sister Laura, who holds a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from Cornell University, has been a SMTA member for many years. The award is presented to a member who has made exceptional contributions to the industry, and provided ongoing support and service to the SMTA. Sister Laura is a champion of students, a mentor, and author who has worked in her field for over 30 years. She has also served on the Board of Directors of SMTA.

If it Doesn’t Say Boston, It’s Not Ours We have, once again, received phone calls and notes from our friends, relatives, and donors saying that they have received solicitations from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Springfield. We share many things with our Springfield sisters: history, tradition, friendship, and a passion for mission. We do not share finances. We do not share our mailing list with any other group. Though we do not, some nonprofits purchase mailing lists from magazines and companies. Our mailing address is always: Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston 637 Cambridge Street Brighton, MA 02135 Please check to make sure your gift reaches its intended designation.
