Her decision wascemented during what she callsa “normal high school life” atStella Niagara. She joined <strong>the</strong>Franciscan Sisters <strong>of</strong> Penanceand Christian Charity and afterthree years <strong>of</strong> trainingat <strong>the</strong> convent shebegan teachinghigh schoolat BishopMcMahon in<strong>Buffalo</strong>. SisterMarcyannexplains thatalthough shehad previously consideredbecoming a teacher,her path was dictated primarilyby <strong>the</strong> needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> order. “Itis an international order,” shesays. “We have sisters that aremissionaries all over <strong>the</strong> world,and o<strong>the</strong>rs who are socialworkers or teachers. There areall kinds <strong>of</strong> fields and possibilities,but I did whatever it wasthat <strong>the</strong>y needed me to do.”In 1967 she was able toreturn to <strong>Buffalo</strong>, from a largeco-ed school in New Jersey,to be near family and beganher teaching career at <strong>Sacred</strong><strong>Heart</strong>. Sister Marcyann makesno apologies for her no-nonsenseteaching philosophy, “Mybelief is that you are in schoolto learn as much as you can”she says. “If you are not strict<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> students will not getwhat <strong>the</strong>y need and will notbe prepared—not just for <strong>the</strong>Regents exam but for collegeand beyond. She says that herfavorite part <strong>of</strong> teaching is that,“Every single student is different.Each is a unique personalitywho is finding her niche.”Sister Marcyann teachesHistory at <strong>Buffalo</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong>. Along withher religious life, Sr. Marcyannenjoys daily walks and reading,she also enjoys cross countryskiing and attending <strong>the</strong> occasional<strong>Buffalo</strong> Bills or Sabresgames.Through <strong>the</strong> year, whenreturning alumnae come backto <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> fora tour, <strong>the</strong>y would <strong>of</strong>ten askfor if <strong>the</strong>y could stop by Sr.Marcyann’s classroom to thankher for being such a stronginfluence in <strong>the</strong>ir lives.With a twinkle in hereye, Sr. Marcyanngreets <strong>the</strong> alumna asshe recalls that <strong>the</strong>y“sat in <strong>the</strong> secondrow, third seat <strong>of</strong>period two.” Sr.Marcyann’s love for herstudents, for <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong><strong>Academy</strong> and for teaching isso much a part <strong>of</strong> who she is,though she never wanted <strong>the</strong>students to know just howmuch.Amy Betros andNorm PaoliniSt. Luke’s Mission <strong>of</strong> MercyAmy Betros and Norm Paoliniare <strong>the</strong> Co-Founders and Co-Directors <strong>of</strong> St. Luke’s Mission<strong>of</strong> Mercy, a Roman CatholicMission that ministers to <strong>the</strong>poor and <strong>the</strong> homeless on <strong>the</strong>East Side <strong>of</strong> <strong>Buffalo</strong>.Prior to co-founding St.Luke’s, Norm was a cancer researchscientist at Roswell Parkand Amy was <strong>the</strong> popular owner<strong>of</strong> Amy’s Place on Main Streetacross from <strong>the</strong> UB SouthCampus.

The missioncurrently occupies <strong>the</strong> entireSt. Luke’s campus using <strong>the</strong>school, convent, and rectoryfor shelters, a communitycenter, mission work, andhousing. The mission has alsorehabilitated several donatedarea houses for use by homelessfamilies. The church isused daily for worship. Onan average day, St Luke’s feeds500 people. St. Luke’s is runcompletely by volunteers, <strong>the</strong>majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m laypeople.Amy and Norm’s strengthand wisdom comes from<strong>the</strong>ir deep faith and trustin God. St. Luke’s strives toshow everyone that seeks helpthat God is good, loving andmerciful. Through <strong>the</strong> work<strong>of</strong> Amy and Norm, and that<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> countless volunteers,people begin to see that <strong>the</strong>yhave value and begin to havehope.<strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>is honored to present AmyBetros and Norm Paolini itsLiving <strong>the</strong> Spirit Award for<strong>the</strong>ir tireless devotion to <strong>the</strong>impoverished and forgottenindividuals in our community.Giving thanks Throughout our 131-yearhistory, many individuals have carefully planned for <strong>the</strong> future welfare<strong>of</strong> <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>.

By Amy Fleischauer, ’92gloves10 Cordecho spirit. mind. body.her mo<strong>the</strong>r’sJoanne Rackl Fleischauer, ’67Amy was inducted into <strong>the</strong>Distinguished AlumnaeSociety <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong><strong>Academy</strong> in 2008.his SHA story begins like many o<strong>the</strong>rs, with <strong>the</strong> parents’decision to sacrifice so that <strong>the</strong>ir children can attenda good, Catholic school. My grandparents sent <strong>the</strong>ir twodaughters, my aunt (Margaret Rackl Loesch ‘64) and mymo<strong>the</strong>r (Joanne Rackl Fleischauer ‘67) to SHA.The story continues thirty years later as Joanneyells to her own two daughters every time <strong>the</strong> familydrove down Main Street, “Look girls! That’s my highschool! I loved it <strong>the</strong>re!” She later went back to work so thatmy sister (Bethany Fleischauer Garbutt ’96)and I could attend that same good, Catholicschool on Main Street.<strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> has always been known forits high academic standards. Yet, my mom’sfamous SHA stories in our family all involved three things:fun, friends and involvlement. Upon reflection, it is easyto see that <strong>the</strong> deep sense <strong>of</strong> community, spirituality, andservice I saw in my mo<strong>the</strong>r as an adult was rooted and nurturedat SHA. There she learned that meaningful prayerdid not only occur in <strong>the</strong> quiet space <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 3rd floor SHAchapel, but also in <strong>the</strong> many ways service can be providedto o<strong>the</strong>rs, especially when that service involved bringingpeople toge<strong>the</strong>r in a fun way.This was exemplified as my mo<strong>the</strong>r’s story continuedinto her teaching days at Christ <strong>the</strong> King School. When <strong>the</strong>associated parish introduced full-time perpetual adoration,my mo<strong>the</strong>r immediately signed up for an hour <strong>of</strong>weekly prayer in <strong>the</strong> parish chapel. That same week, sheapproached several <strong>of</strong> her fellow teachers and SHA grads tobegin a service club with <strong>the</strong> school students. That groupcontinues to give hundreds <strong>of</strong> students <strong>the</strong> opportunity tolearn through service each year.This story took a devastating turn in <strong>the</strong> fall <strong>of</strong> 2006when my mo<strong>the</strong>r was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.Although it remains <strong>the</strong> largest story <strong>of</strong> loss in our family, itis also a story <strong>of</strong> understanding, courage and service.During her struggle, my sister and I began to knowmy mo<strong>the</strong>r more deeply than just in her role <strong>of</strong> “Mom.”She handled her illness with amazing patience, grace, andhumor, continuing to serve and to build community evenamid <strong>the</strong> halls <strong>of</strong> Roswell and within <strong>the</strong> confines <strong>of</strong> herhospital bed at home. As more and more cards, flowers,meals, thoughtful gifts and visitors arrived daily at ourhome, my sister and I began to witness what an amazingcommunity <strong>of</strong> love my mo<strong>the</strong>r was a part <strong>of</strong>. We came tounderstand <strong>the</strong>se countless people that represented <strong>the</strong>many communities my mo<strong>the</strong>r was a part <strong>of</strong>, were simplydoing what Mom had done time and time again for <strong>the</strong>m;that <strong>the</strong> immense amount <strong>of</strong> love shared was in direct proportionto <strong>the</strong> friend that she had always been.Soon after Mom’s first surgery, I was watching a televisionshow in which a fictional reporter was interviewingan actress about her mentors. The actress mentioned hermom. At <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> scene <strong>the</strong> reporter asked, “How areyou different from your mo<strong>the</strong>r?” The actress respondedwith a smile, “In as few ways as possible, I hope”. I knowwhat she meant.Almost all stories <strong>of</strong> pancreatic cancer end quickly andpainfully. When someone dies, no matter what <strong>the</strong> cause,<strong>the</strong>re are always boxes and closets <strong>of</strong> things to sort through.After Mom’s death in July <strong>of</strong> 2007, I found myself desperatelytrying identify <strong>the</strong> things that I wanted to keep andremember her by. It seemed odd at <strong>the</strong> time, but it was hergloves that I was drawn to <strong>the</strong> most. I simply knew I had tohave <strong>the</strong>m.I believe that I was asked to write this article as anupbeat tribute to a fantastic SHA girl. I hope that I have accomplishedthat in writing about my mo<strong>the</strong>r. But, an honestaccount <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> continuing story is not entirely cheery.There are many days when I feel more anger and sadness<strong>the</strong>n I know what to do with; when <strong>the</strong> hole left by Mom’sabsence threatens to consume me. I continue to be surprisedby how <strong>of</strong>ten I get up to call her about a friend’s latestnews or to recount <strong>the</strong> menu at <strong>the</strong> restaurant I visited.The hole remains. That is part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> story too.I still have my mo<strong>the</strong>r’s gloves and <strong>the</strong> reason I choseto grasp on to <strong>the</strong>m is now clear. Those gloves remind meto be my mo<strong>the</strong>r’s hands in <strong>the</strong> world; to serve and buildcommunity wherever I am. And <strong>the</strong>y remind me, just as mymo<strong>the</strong>r would have done, to have more than my share <strong>of</strong>fun while doing so.The Joanne Fleischauer Scholarship is awarded to aChrist <strong>the</strong> King 8th grader wishing to attend SHA, whodemonstrate a commitment to service. Special considerationgiven to those applicants who also demonstrate acommitment to having fun.Bethany Fleischauer Garbutt, ’96, Joanne RacklFleischauer, ’67 and Amy Fleischauer, ’92.Prayer Vigil for SisterMarcyann Kowalczyk, OSFThe <strong>Sacred</strong> <strong>Heart</strong> <strong>Academy</strong> community is saddenedto learn <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> illness <strong>of</strong> Sister Marcyann,a longtime teacher and friend <strong>of</strong> our alumnae,parents, faculty and staff.

Mock InterviewsProvide LearningExperiences forStudents andAlumnae<strong>the</strong>real-worldexperienceBy Barbara V. Hooven, ’85Thank you to <strong>the</strong> following alumnaefor giving <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir time and talentsto help with our LeadershipProgram by performing mockinterviews for our juniors. If youare interested in assisting withthis project next year pleasecontact Jeanine Purcell, Director <strong>of</strong>Advancement.Margaret Lannon Anderson ‘88Carrie Csizar ‘93Ca<strong>the</strong>rine Turner Flynn ‘81Elizabeth Barcak Horrigan ‘64Barbara Hooven ‘85Ka<strong>the</strong>rine Occhiuto Ricketts’66Susan Barcak Uba ‘62Marilyn Wittman ‘66Ann Marie Smits Wegrzyn ‘76Ca<strong>the</strong>rine Turner Flynn ‘8Recently, I had <strong>the</strong> unique opportunity to return to SHA and to share some <strong>of</strong>my “career wisdom” with <strong>the</strong> next generation <strong>of</strong> women who will make up our futureworkforce.On Thursday, June 4, I participated in a series <strong>of</strong> “mock-interviews” with severaljuniors applying for one <strong>of</strong> two positions - one at a popular retail establishment aroundtown and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r at a local television news station. My role was to act as <strong>the</strong> personnelcoordinator for each establishment, ask each student a series <strong>of</strong> pointed questions and<strong>the</strong>n provide feedback to <strong>the</strong>m on <strong>the</strong>ir answers, <strong>the</strong>reby providing <strong>the</strong>m with some advanceexperience for a “real-world” interview situation. Overall, <strong>the</strong> ladies <strong>of</strong> SHA (asusual) came prepared to meet <strong>the</strong> challenge at hand and did well in <strong>the</strong> interviews. Ourdiscussion points ranged from general issues <strong>of</strong> preparedness in researching a companyand asking <strong>the</strong> right questions <strong>of</strong> an employer to behavioral techniques that allow one tobecome comfortable in any interview situation.While <strong>the</strong>se mock interviews were intendedto assist <strong>the</strong> students <strong>of</strong> SHA, as an alumna <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> class <strong>of</strong> ‘85, I can honestly say that I too cameaway from <strong>the</strong> situation having learned somethingfrom <strong>the</strong> experience. My meetings with<strong>the</strong> students led me to recall my own days in <strong>the</strong>hallowed halls <strong>of</strong> SHA and <strong>the</strong> many challengesto be met. Seeing <strong>the</strong>m actively engaged in schoolwork and effectively managing <strong>the</strong>ir time during<strong>the</strong> lunch period to participate in <strong>the</strong>se interviews,demonstrated both <strong>the</strong>ir dedication and <strong>the</strong>ir willingness to go <strong>the</strong> extra mile.This is <strong>the</strong> type <strong>of</strong> real-world preparedness, however, that SHA has always instilled inthose young women who came before, those presently enrolled at <strong>the</strong> school and thosewho will walk its halls in <strong>the</strong> future. Thereis an independence and a confidence thatis instilled within us at SHA that allows usto take on new challenges. Although <strong>the</strong>types <strong>of</strong> activities that SHA has providedto achieve those ends has changed anddeveloped as <strong>the</strong> times have changed, <strong>the</strong>same spirit and support extended to uswhich allows us to grow into independentyoung women and future pr<strong>of</strong>essionals,regardless <strong>of</strong> our career path, has alwaysremained a constant. It was nice to see <strong>the</strong>next generation <strong>of</strong> students so eager toparticipate.Barabara Hooven, 88 <strong>of</strong>fers some interview advice.I found each student to be very respectful, polite and well-mannered. It is a qualitythat was easily seen in each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m. While every student brought <strong>the</strong>ir unique personalityto <strong>the</strong> table, what still emerged from each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m was <strong>the</strong>ir sincere kindness and<strong>the</strong>ir genuine interest. It was enjoyable to <strong>of</strong>fer feedback to each student and to realizethat I could give back something to assist <strong>the</strong>m in <strong>the</strong>ir future. It was very evident thateach one had a genuine interest in expanding <strong>the</strong>ir knowledge <strong>of</strong> how to be a better interviewee.Many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m nodded in response to constructive feedback and even realizedthose areas needing improvement all on <strong>the</strong>ir own. The actual process <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> interview,however, was effective in allowing <strong>the</strong>m to have that opportunity to practice and to learnfrom <strong>the</strong> things that <strong>the</strong>y did well and <strong>the</strong> things <strong>the</strong>y could improve upon before <strong>the</strong>yexperience <strong>the</strong> real thing.This was a great learning experience for students and alumnae and I was proud tobe a part <strong>of</strong> it.’49’54 ’59’64’69 ’74 ’79’89Reunion Scrapbook SHASnaps!’9416 Cordecho spirit. mind. body. spirit. mind. body. cordecho 17
