<strong>Ursuline</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tildonk</strong><br />
United States <strong>Province</strong><br />
<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2009</strong>
Letter from the President<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
We the <strong>Ursuline</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tildonk</strong> joyfully and generously minister<br />
to the people <strong>of</strong> God in New York, Connecticut and Vermont.<br />
We are proud to say that since 1924 the <strong>Ursuline</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> have<br />
ministered to the needs <strong>of</strong> God’s people. Since we started in the<br />
first school that we set roots down we became established in the<br />
ministry <strong>of</strong> education in parish owned and operated schools.<br />
Sr. Mairead M. Barrett<br />
Over the years, we have been blessed to receive feedback that there<br />
is “something” different about being taught by an <strong>Ursuline</strong>. This “something” was our belief<br />
in and genuine caring for the whole family and ensuring that they had what they needed for<br />
their children to come school. This love flowed out <strong>of</strong> the Spirit <strong>of</strong> Jesus and our founder<br />
Angela Merici.<br />
In the past forty years we branched out into other dimensions <strong>of</strong> ministry as needs arose.<br />
St. Angela Merici told us to pay attention to the signs <strong>of</strong> the times and embrace the changes<br />
that are needed. Today, we aim to embody Gospel values as we serve those who are vulnerable<br />
in our society. We live our lives focused on our primary relationship with Jesus, from<br />
which our desire to be in service to God’s people flows.<br />
Countless former students write to us, especially to the older sisters. They receive phone calls<br />
and visits. Many visit our website to find the whereabouts <strong>of</strong> a sister who made an impact on<br />
their lives. We are thankful to God for this connection, this blessing that we are remembered<br />
because we know God’s spirit lives in you as you carry us forward by remembering and saying<br />
“Thanks.” This is one <strong>of</strong> the greatest gifts one can acquire, to feel and express gratitude.<br />
As our dedicated friends you have helped us become who we were in the past, you are with<br />
us now in the present and through your generosity you help create our future.<br />
“I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.” (Ephesians 1:16)<br />
In gratitude,<br />
Sr. Mairead M. Barrett<br />

Our Vision Statement<br />
We the <strong>Ursuline</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> and Associates <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tildonk</strong> are dedicated to radical Gospel living.<br />
Energized by the spirit and example <strong>of</strong> St. Angela we dare to effect change in ourselves, our<br />
Church, and our society by standing with the oppressed economically poor, especially<br />
women and children.<br />
We use feminist models to confront<br />
oppressive structures, racism, classism and<br />
other prejudicial fears. We use our common<br />
resources to empower the poor and<br />
minister for justice. We network to expand<br />
our political awareness and influence.<br />
We arrive at decisions through a discernment<br />
process, listening to the Spirit speaking<br />
in the individual and in the group.<br />
Our life styles are marked by pr<strong>of</strong>ound<br />
simplicity and consciousness <strong>of</strong> the earth.<br />
We acknowledge our global interdependence.<br />
We gather together to affirm and support one another. We empower each other to<br />
accountability and challenge each other to act. We break open the Word together, share<br />
prayer, share a meal and enjoy one another’s company.<br />
We are people <strong>of</strong> wisdom. We relate with freedom and responsibility and are present to each<br />
other in our brokenness.<br />
We communicate with each other in an atmosphere <strong>of</strong> trust, honesty, and mutual support.<br />
Our dialogue is permeated by an attitude <strong>of</strong> openness and a belief in continual conversion.<br />
“We dedicate ourselves to a responsible and just use <strong>of</strong><br />
material goods to further Christ’s mission. We also<br />
assume co-responsibility for the stewardship<br />
<strong>of</strong> our common resources.”<br />

Our Compelling Direction 2006-2010<br />
The <strong>Ursuline</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tildonk</strong> assemble every three years for Chapter. The purpose <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Chapter meeting is to reflect on their own lives and discern the needs <strong>of</strong> the people <strong>of</strong> God<br />
with whom they minister. From this a direction and vision emerges as to how we can “effect<br />
change in ourselves, our church and our society.”<br />
We desire to live out our prophetic call and use our collective voice in the spirit <strong>of</strong> Angela<br />
and the Gospel <strong>of</strong> Jesus while integrating our action with our own individual and communal<br />
lives (including investment policy, education/literacy <strong>of</strong> the members, and movement toward<br />
openness to other cultures and traditions).<br />
The resources we will draw on as we continue in this direction include our many years <strong>of</strong><br />
focused effort, the experience <strong>of</strong> individual sisters, our NGO status, the UN Millennium<br />
Development Goals and other resources and networking as needed.<br />
The particular focus this direction will take in<br />
2006-2010 is on the problem <strong>of</strong> violence. We<br />
will emphasize specific faces <strong>of</strong> violence to<br />
address in annual Provincial and individual<br />
goals with a commitment to on-going learning<br />
on an individual and communal level and<br />
to a deepened understanding and practice <strong>of</strong><br />
non-violence.<br />
Specific faces <strong>of</strong> violence we will emphasize<br />
in our learning and action may include:<br />
• Violence to the earth (water, global warming)<br />
• The war in Iraq<br />
• Trafficking <strong>of</strong> women and children<br />
• Homelessness<br />
• Illiteracy<br />
• Racism<br />

<strong>Sisters</strong> in Retirement<br />
The <strong>Ursuline</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tildonk</strong> Retirement Fund is essential to providing support to our<br />
retired sisters. Forty <strong>of</strong> our sisters are retired from funded ministries, living in seven locations.<br />
Most reside at the St. Ursula Center in Blue Point where we have a full nursing staff<br />
including around-the-clock nurses aides and a nurse on staff from 7am - 7pm daily. We also<br />
have a full complement staff <strong>of</strong> cooks, maintenance and supervision. Three sisters who are<br />
in need <strong>of</strong> more advanced care, live at Maria Regina Assisted Living facility.<br />
Our philosophy <strong>of</strong> retirement is to allow<br />
sisters to be where they feel best needed and<br />
at home. Some sisters choose to stay where<br />
they have lived and worked. Many <strong>of</strong> those<br />
live at their home parishes, St. William’s<br />
the Abbot, Seaford; St. Margaret’s, Middle<br />
Village; Nativity BVM, Ozone Park; and<br />
Our Lady <strong>of</strong> Grace in Howard Beach. They<br />
remain active in a variety <strong>of</strong> volunteer<br />
ministries.<br />
With the majority <strong>of</strong> members over the age<br />
St. Ursula Center in Blue Point.<br />
<strong>of</strong> 70 we have found that the support <strong>of</strong> our<br />
active members is inadequate to provide for the care and living expenses <strong>of</strong> our older members.<br />
And this is with many <strong>of</strong> our active members working into their eighties, in such ministries<br />
as Fordham University, Divine Mercy Academy (formerly Nativity BVM) in Ozone<br />
Park, and Our Lady <strong>of</strong> Hope in Middle Village.<br />
Our other sources <strong>of</strong> income are also insufficient. Benefits from social security are a third <strong>of</strong><br />
what the average U.S. beneficiary receives and averages just under $5,000 per year.<br />

The costs to support our retired sisters<br />
are immense expenses. These cost include<br />
healthcare, medical supplies, nursing staff,<br />
equipment, transportation, food, utilities,<br />
property maintenance and upkeep. This<br />
is why the Retirement Fund is so essential to<br />
the support <strong>of</strong> our members. We are<br />
extremely grateful for your support <strong>of</strong> this<br />
fund. Our donor support has assisted in the<br />
cost <strong>of</strong> living and care expenses.
<strong>Sisters</strong> in Retirement<br />
<strong>Ursuline</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> may retire but their journeys continue. They still minister to others through<br />
a ministry <strong>of</strong> prayer, volunteer services and being present to each other in the community.<br />

International<br />
More Than One Year Later<br />
“Be Angela” was the theme <strong>of</strong> our General Chapter in August 2008, and it continues to<br />
inspire all <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Ursuline</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tildonk</strong> around the world. During that meeting <strong>of</strong> Delegates<br />
from all parts <strong>of</strong> our Congregation, we wrote a statement which focuses on our living <strong>of</strong><br />
Spirituality, Leadership, Mission and Finances for these six years. We are striving to reflect<br />
on this statement to see how we might better live the charism <strong>of</strong> our Founders, St. Angela<br />
Merici and Father John Lambertz.<br />
We said, in part, “We desire deep union with God. We are craftswomen <strong>of</strong> peace. We are<br />
leaders. We use our resources to assist those who are in need. We dare to effect change. We<br />
recognize our international solidarity and our desire that the mission <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Ursuline</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Tildonk</strong> expand throughout the globe.”<br />
We long to believe that if St. Angela or<br />
Father John were to walk among us today,<br />
they would recognize us as their daughters,<br />
as women who try to live in our times as they<br />
did in theirs, with simplicity, in an ever<br />
deepening relationship with God, and as<br />
companions <strong>of</strong> the poor.<br />
The <strong>Ursuline</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tildonk</strong> are responding to needs around the world. Our sisters are in<br />
Guyana, India, the Democratic Republic <strong>of</strong> Congo, Canada, Belgium and here in the United<br />
States. We try to assist each other as we minister in a variety <strong>of</strong> ways and to remain united<br />
even with our great diversity.<br />
We have set ourselves some goals until we gather again at our next General Chapter in 2014.<br />
We pray to St. Angela Merici and to Father John Lambertz to be with us as we try to follow<br />
their example. May we “Be Angela” with courage and wisdom and grace! May we be all we<br />
say we want to be!<br />
