This is not unlike our current general officer liaison relationships. But often a sister would say of that home superior that she belonged to her....

A Providence moment with Sister Camille Neubauer
On Saturday, Aug. 8, I was walking through the cemetery. Recalling that Aug. 14, will be the first anniversary of Sister Camille’s death, the tears started to run down my face. I told her how very much I missed her and thanked her for her friendship. When I returned to Providence Hall, I went to have my temperature checked. Each day, we are given a sticker to show we had this done. There are different kinds of stickers each day....

Baptism by horseback
...“I’m an AKA [also known as] all the way!” On a more serious note, she explained, “I felt it was the real me; my true identity.” I can’t tell you what I had for lunch that day, but I’ll hold on to the expressions on Marceline’s face and the sacredness of her sharing for some time to come. Find your thrills on TV or in the movie theater if you like — I’ll take another day in the dining room!...
Sister Ruth Eileen Dwyer
Sister Ruth Eileen Dwyer “A great pillar of the Woods has gone to sleep; her legacy lives in all those she embraced.” (a quote from a Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College alumna) “It’s a pleasure for me to have an opportunity to say good things about Sister Ruth Eileen — “Ruthie” to most of us — because in many ways, Ruthie was an institution. She had a distinct personality and unique ways of getting things done,” said Sister Jeanne Knoerle in her...

All of life is one holy family (New Year’s, 2018)
In the Catholic Church world this New Year’s Eve we will celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family. This coincidence of the Feast of the Holy Family and New Year’s Eve got me thinking about my notions of family and what constitutes both family and holiness these days. Is there a New Year’s Resolution to be had here? I have just come back home to the Woods from celebrating Christmas with my happy (and certainly striving to be holy) family...
A Jumping off point
...it wasn’t about me alone. My life is about the movement of the Spirit – the dance if you will – that dwells through, with and in the Body of Christ.
