Our Lady of Peace Retreat
Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows
Fall 2016 Newsletter
One Community in Mission Together
Every six years our Community gathers for the
General Chapter of Elections and Affairs. This is
a very special time for all of the Sisters, not only
for the decisions and business that is covered,
but more importantly for the opportunity to
be with the Sisters of our Congregation from
throughout the world. Our General Chapter
was a very prayerful and joyful event, helping
us to look forward to the future with hope and
enthusiasm for the many opportunities to expand
our ministries in Evangelization.
This year we were blessed to have two of our
Sisters from mainland China join us. This was a
first for our congregation, since obtaining Visas Sr. Lucy Chung, Sr. Maureen Theresa, Archbishop John Vlazny,
is not always possible. Another first for us was
Sr. Anne Marie Warren, Sr. Andre Lafferty, Sr. Carol Ann Kos
the wonderful opportunity to have simultaneous
translation for the Sisters whose first language is either Cantonese or Mandarin. Volunteer translators
from Seattle and Beaverton came for all of our meetings and special presentations, even offering to take
our Sisters from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan on outings to the coast and to the malls! This ability to
understand each other through the translators brought awesome blessings to our Community.
Before our Chapter meetings, Father Robert Carbonneau, CP, the Director of the USCCB China
Conference, presented three days of conferences and reflections on inculturalization and the missionary
spirit of both St. Francis and Pope Francis. Father Robert lived in the Hunan Province of China for
many years…the same Province where our Congregation began.
Bishop Peter Smith presided over the election of the Superior General on July 22. With great humility,
I inform you that I was re-elected Superior General for a non-consecutive, fourth term. The General
Council that administers the congregation with me consists of Sister Andre, the Provincial of the
Oriental Province (and who was my Formation Director years ago); Sister Maureen Theresa, the
new Local Superior and Formator at Our Lady of Peace Retreat; Sister Carol Ann, the Community’s
Treasurer General and Local Superior at St. Clare’s Retreat in California, and Sister Lucy Chung, the
Local Superior in Hong Kong. The General Councilors and I have been elected for a 6-year term.
I want to personally thank all of you for your prayers and support of our Congregation and the ministry
that we fulfill here at Our Lady of Peace Retreat. The sharing of your time, talents and treasures helps
us to continue to provide a peaceful place for all to come to rekindle their spirit.

God’s Mercy Abounds at the 43rd annual Institute in Catholic Teaching
Pictured center first row, l to r: Fr. George McInnis, CPM, Sr. Ann Shields, Fr. John Horgan with the Institute residents
I
n honor of the Jubilee Year of Divine Mercy (December 8, 2015 – November 20, 2016)
promulgated by Pope Francis, the 43rd annual Institute in Catholic Teaching at Our Lady of
Peace Retreat held in July focused on Christ’s teachings and actions of His Divine Mercy, and
how Catholics can incorporate Divine Mercy into daily living.
Each instructor focused on a different aspect of Divine Mercy, helping the students to expand their
understanding of this awesome gift of God. Sister Ann Shields, SGL, (of the Servants of God’s Love)
asked “How deep is my relationship with God?” and focused on each student’s understanding of God’s
mercy in his or her own life. Reverend John Hogan from Vancouver, BC, Canada, focused his talks
on the spiritual and corporal works of mercy, looking at them in new and challenging ways. Our third
presenter, Reverend George McInnis, of the Congregation of the Fathers of Mercy (CPM), spoke
about “Christ, our God-Mercy Incarnate”, sharing in his special way the depth and beauty of Divine
Mercy that we can all practice daily.
The Institute this year also hosted
the live production of “Faustina:
Messenger of Divine Mercy” directed
by Leonardo Defilippis and starring
Maria Vargo.
The courses were recorded by
Mark Gallant. If you are interested
in purchasing these talks, please

2016 BBQ Big Hit
T
Backyard Fun with the Sisters
he 43rd Annual Our Lady of Peace
Retreat BBQ was a huge success
with the Sisters dishing up about
1,000 meals to the community and raising
more than $25,000. God gave the BBQ a
gift by dropping the temperatures into the
middle 70s with occasional cloud cover
and a random drop of rain every now and
again. An anonymous donor paid for the
meals of every Beaverton Police Officer
who attended as a way of thanking them
for the hard work they do protecting our
communities.
The Knights of Columbus were once
again out in force serving pulled pork and
grilling chicken, burgers, veggie burgers,
hot dogs and brats. Others were boiling up
the fresh corn, and over 100 volunteers helped out dishing up sides, buns and plates, condiments and
lemonade, washing up in the kitchen, tending to booths, selling tickets, manning the DJ booth, and
running errands. Entertainment included a return of the Mellotones, Zumba and, after taking a year
off, the Hawaiian Dancer. The miniature horses were once again available for petting and for the first
time the Beaverton K-9 Division attended, showing off his cruiser and his beautiful dog. St. Cecilia’s
Respect Life booth was open for education, while the Franciscan Girls entertained young and old alike
with games and face painting. The sweet tooth was satisfied by the Dibb sisters’ Widows of Zarapheth
booth and the Knights of Columbus cotton candy booth. Everyone walked away a winner in fun and
games, while a few walked away with door prizes, auction items, or were sweepstakes winners.
Sweepstakes Winners 2016
Carole Miller of Sherwood - $250
Kirstin Bieren of Beaverton - $500
Deb Kovach-Leon of Portland - $1,000
In Gratitude
E
ach May the St. Pius X Women’s Club allocates
funds raised that year to St. Pius causes as well
as other local charitable organizations. This
year, the Women’s Club voted to make a donation of
$1100 to the retreat house. The donation was made
“to cover expenses in repairing a life size, marble
St. Joseph statue and for renovating pews and a
skylight in the chapel.” Anne Cummings presented
a check to Sister Agnes Clare, (see photo at right)
who, with Sister Angela, were guests at the Donation
Celebration, honoring all of this year's recipients.

A Friend of St. Joseph
O
ur readers will remember that a year ago we were shocked and
sorrowful when vandals toppled our life- size marble statue of
St. Joseph in the clearing near the Way of the Cross. During
the fall, his head was severed from his body. St. Joseph’s body lay in
the mud until spring when, thankfully, Fr. Gregory Dick, O. Praem.,
from the Norbertines, and his volunteer crew that was attending the
men’s retreat managed to put St. Joseph upright and glued his head
to his body. Don Rolison, who is on the retreat staff, spent a week this
past July in the garage and out in the clearing building from scratch
the beautiful cedar pergola pictured at right. Don used a picture he
found in a garden magazine for his inspiration. The materials cost $500.
Thank you, Don!

First Profession of Vows — June 5, 2016
n a sunny afternoon, amid soaring temperatures of 102 degrees, Sister Christine Marie Chauvel,
with evident joy, professed her first vows of poverty, chastity and obedience here in the retreat house
chapel . Archbishop Emeritus John Vlazny received her vows on behalf of the Congregation of the
Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows. A reception followed the ceremony and we were
pleased to meet several of Sister’s relatives who traveled from California for the occasion, in addition to
greeting her family that lives in the area.
Sister Christine Marie was born in Midland, Texas in 1961, and is the third of five children. Her father is
a geologist and her mother is a retired school teacher and homemaker. Sister grew up on the West Coast,
moving when the family was relocated by her father’s employer. Her early years were spent in Texas, New
Mexico, Colorado, Alaska, and California. She graduated from California State University, Long Beach with
a bachelor of arts degree in print journalism.
Shortly after graduating, Sister Christine Marie moved to Austin, Texas where she took a position with an
education corporation. After 9/11, she moved to Oregon. Because of a down job market, she lived with her
sister and brother-in-law, Chris and Tom Morse, for several months while she searched for a job. Their one
request was that she join the choir at Our Lady of the
Lake parish (OLL) in Lake Oswego, where Tom was
the choir director, as they were in need of sopranos.
While at OLL she sang, cantored and eventually
chaired the Liturgy Committee. It was while cantoring
at a summer Mass in 2006 that she received her call to
religious life. After much discernment, she believed that
God was calling her to the Franciscan Missionary Sisters
of Our Lady of Sorrows. She applied, was accepted and
entered on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013. Please keep
Sister Christine Marie in your prayers as she journeys
toward her final profession of vows in several years.

ister Guadalupe, we hope that you are reading this in Canada and know
that you are thought of. Your sunny smile and “holy”-spirited work ethic
leave pleasant memories with Sisters and staff alike. Thank you for your
guidance this past year and a half, May the Lord and his first disciple, Mary
our Mother, bless abundantly your work in Canada at St. Paul Parish.
W e welcome Sister Maureen Theresa returned from Canada on Sept. 8 who
is assigned here as the Local Superior. Sister Maureen Theresa has been the
Superior at both St. Clare’s retreat in Soquel,
California and at St. Paul Convent in
Richmond, BC. Sister also spent
nine years of her religious life on
mission in Shatin, Hong Kong.
Sister Mary John Paul Floro
returned from Canada where,
among other duties, she was the
Sr. Regina & Sr. Guadalupe
Spiritual Director of the Junior
together in Canada
Legion of Mary and catechist
to the Baptism, Confirmation and Sunday Preschool
classes. Sister Mary John Paul has come back with her
camera and artistic skills. The retreat office staff have her
employed embellishing calendars and creating collages for
the newsletter and assisting in the gift store on Sundays.
Sr. Maria Benedicta, Sr. Maureen Theresa,
Archbishop Michael & Sr. Mary John Paul
Sister Maria Benedicta is the third Sister returning from Canada to Beaverton. She was Spiritual
Director of the Sunday Senior Legion of Mary and a catechist for Prep. Grade 1 and Sunday
Class. She will be assisting Sister Angela in the kitchen – the Italian/Bavarian combination benefits
us all. Sister Angela’s Mediterranean cuisine now augmented by
Sister Benedicta’s German spaetzi, strudel and braised red cabbage!
Caraway seeds, anyone?
Last but not least, we say a fond farewell to Sister Louismarie,
who has been assigned to St. Clare’s retreat in Soquel, California.
We understand that she is filling a great need in the retreat
office there, working with Sister Vincent. Sister Louismarie
was a paralegal prior to religious life. Her fame, when she was
in our midst, however, was playing the organ and performing
her personalized mariachi songs (for birthdays and feast days)
on the keyboard.

brother-in-law Ron & sister Andrea

Requiescant in Pace
Please remember in your prayers our beloved deceased:
Charles H. Skinner  Jayme Navarra  Florencia Navarra  Curtis Young
Sister Mary Colette Teng, OSF — October 15, 1925 - August 1, 2016
S
ister Colette was born in Shantung Province, China
on October 15, 1925. She was from a devout,
old Catholic family and was educated through
elementary and high school at a Catholic School in
Quingdao, Shantung. The American Franciscan Sisters
from Wisconsin staffed the school.
As a teenager she became an aspirant for two years with
that same community. However, during the turmoil of the
Communist invasion of Shantung, in the mid-1940s, she
became a refugee, along with those sisters. For some time
she experienced the hardships of this status, traveling from
city to city to find temporary work and food. Eventually,
her community recalled only the professed members to the
USA. At that time, Sister Colette was led to join our community, the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of
Our Lady of Sorrows. In 1948, Sister Colette, as an aspirant, was in the first group who went to visit
the origins and founder of our community, Bishop Rafael Palazzi, OFM, in Hengyang, Hunan, China.
Coming with our refugee community to the USA in the early 1950s, she was one of the pioneer group
that helped begin the retreat apostolate at St. Clare’s in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. After
becoming a US citizen in the late 1960s, Sister Colette was assigned in our Sanchung, Taipei Taiwan
mission (a hostel for working women) at its beginning. She remained in our Taiwan Missions until
2010, when she retired to the Convent infirmary here in Beaverton. Sister passed away on August 1,
2016. Sister Colette showed great perseverance, loyalty and obedience during her life as a religious.
Please pray for the repose of her soul. May she enjoy eternal beatitude!
M
Jayme Navarra — July 15, 1929 - May 5, 2016
Florencia Navarra — October 31, 1928 - September 12, 2016
any of our readers know Sister Agnes Clare who is in the retreat
ministry here and the moderator of the Franciscan Girls Club. Lately,
she has been relying heavily on her love of Jesus and faith in his
mercy as within four months she has borne the loss of both parents. Jayme
and Florencia Navarra lived in a small village on the island of Valencia in the
Philippines. Jayme had been ill for some time and passed away on May 5 and
then after a short illness, Florencia passed away on September 12. They were
married 54 years, having raised four children, the youngest of whom was Sister
Agnes Clare. The evening family rosary and other Catholic devotions were dear
to this family. Although unable to attend the funerals herself, Sister Agnes Clare
Florencia Navarra
had the great consolation of having Sister Therese Improgo, who was on a home
visit in the Philippines, attend her mother’s funeral on her behalf. Sister Therese had been in Bacolod
City for the Golden Jubilee of Profession of her own sister, Sister Elizabeth of the Trinity, OCD, a
Carmelite nun. With special permission, Sister Elizabeth was permitted to leave the cloister to attend
the funeral on September 24 with Sister Therese, an added and unexpected blessing for all!
