<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 />

Fullness in the Life <strong>of</strong> Christ, nos. 43 and 47<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 />
