“Partners in the Great Work of the Gospel”

Dear Friends,Greetings to you in this spring season as we continue to celebrate

the joy of Easter. For us as Daughters of Mary and Joseph, this is alsoa time of particular gratitude because we join with other religiousaround the world in observing 2015 as the Year of Consecrated Life.Proclaimed by Pope Francis, this special year reminds us of theawesome vocation which shapes our meaning and purpose in theChurch today.

Embarking on life as consecrated religious women is somethingwe could never have dreamed of carrying out on our own. As we lookback on our 89 years of ministry in California, we recognize that themany works the DMJs have realized here were made possible onlythrough the generous support and encouragement of many familymembers, collaborators, benefactors, co-workers, friends, and associ-ates.

As I write this letter, I am reminded of a little incident thatoccurred some years ago. A gentleman who was not particularly en-chanted by the Catholic Church shared with me this observation: “YouCatholics don’t do anything on your own! Why, you take your sins tothe priest in confession, you have all these saints you ask to help you,and then you call the priest in when you are dying. You can’t seem todo anything alone!”

He was so right. Ironically, that was one of the nicest compli-ments he could have paid us Catholics; we do have a sense that weare mysteriously connected…whether we think of that connection asthe Mystical Body, the Communion of Saints, the Beloved Community,or use a more inclusive-sounding term, like the People of God.

Hopefully, all of us are among the growing members of the humanfamily who recognize that we creatures on Earth never do anythingalone; we are certainly linked spiritually, but also biologically in thedelicate balance of nature. We do not act in isolation…ever. We neverreally accomplish anything on our own.

So that brings me back to the gratitude that we, the Daughters ofMary and Joseph, have toward you, our friends. We reflect on themyriad ways in which you have both sustained us and allowed DMJministries to begin, be fruitful, and continue. In this 2015 Year ofConsecrated Life, we rejoice in you for having been partners with us inthe great work of the Gospel. We could never have done that workalone! We are ever grateful.

Blessings always,

Sr. Karen Marie, DMJon behalf of the DMJ Regional Leadership Team

New Life in Paramount

What do DMJs do after “retiring” from full-time ministry in Catholic Schools? Theanswers are numberless, but let us mention our most recent retirees at Our Lady ofthe Rosary Parish in Paramount.

Following that,however, Sr. Annadidn’t miss a beat.Twice a week, sheand Sister Ellen Maryare visiting the sick atPromise Hospital. Each time,they divide up a list ofapproximately 50 patientswho have requested areligious visit. Individualvisits for pastoral counselingcome naturally after that.

For starters, we began the Year of Consecrated Life bycelebrating our own Sister Anna O’Reilly. She is cele-brating her 60th year in religious life. She joined scoresof other religious in our Archdiocese this past Januaryin a special jubilee Mass at Our Lady of the AngelsCathedral.

Sr. Anna has spent nearly all of her 60 years inCatholic school education.Forty-three of those yearsshe had been the principalat Our Lady of theRosary School.

This has Sister Ellen workingon her Spanish, throughcommunity classes offeredby the city, to better com-municate with some ofthose served. She has alsogone back to teaching hand-writing to 4th graders at theschool.

Sister Peggy and Sister Brigid Mary stay activelyinvolved at Our Lady of the Rosary School. Sr. Peggy isthere to aide the Pre-K and KG teachers at recess timesso they can take a much-needed break.

Sr. Brigid Mary is there to help the studentsprepare for the school liturgies. She preps the readersand leads the students in singing at Mass. She alsoinstructs a group of students after school. They learnto play the recorder and accompany the singing atliturgies and other activities.

All four of these “retired” Sisters remainactive in parish activities and are known and much-loved by the people. One practice of theirs is to feedthe hungry at their door. They lend an ear to all theirdear friends as well as visiting them in times of need.The people know they can depend on the Sisters. Thepastor, Fr. Julio Gonzalez, has mentioned that he is verygrateful to have their presence in his parish.

Perhaps their greatest service to the community is prayer.Each of these Sisters has a deep prayer life that is a sourceof strength and comfort for all the parishioners.

As one of these Sisters said: “This is why I entered(religious life): praying for and supporting the teachers, theparishioners, and family…very happily retired in Paramount!”

Her Other Home for the Holidays

Mid December might find some of us heading off for thelocal shopping mall, others a nearby ski resort, or others still,the annual office party. In recent years, there is one DMJ whocan be found heading in another direction entirely; mid Decem-ber finds Sister Margaret Mary Haller packing her bags for abeloved village in Ghana.

Earlier in her religious life, Sr. Margaret Mary spent two years ministering there at thePadre Pio Leprosy Rehabilitation Centre in Ahotokurom, Cape Coast. The Centre consists of avillage named Enyinndakurom and a medical cen-tre for former leprosy sufferers, a residential childcare centre, and a school for special needs chil-dren. Sr. Margaret Mary’s annual, month-long visitsrun by the Daughters of Mary and Joseph havebeen made possible over the years by the dona-tions of generous benefactors.

While formerly the Director of St. ElizabethSchool at the Centre, her yearly role each wintertakes a different turn. “Now I go there as anelder,” says the 83 year old nun. “That means I cando what I want!” Being the irrepressibly extro-verted and joyous woman she is, her “eldering”involves visiting the senior residents at St. Clare’s,showing up at the kids’ soccer games, working onprojects with the special needs children, travelingto the Accra marketplace with Sister Monica Smythfor holiday provisions, in short, honoring thefriendships she has developed with the people atthe centre. Sr. Margaret Mary can only adequatelyexplain her yearly sojourns by saying, “I’ve fallen inlove… I love the people there.” Margaret explainsthat, like folks everywhere, what the residents atthe Ahotokurom village appreciate so much is tobe listened to and recognized and remembered.The impact of Sister’s annual visits to the villagewas evidenced by a young Ghanaian man whoexclaimed last December, “Now it really feels like Christmas because Sister Margaret is here!”

And the other eleven months? Sr. Margaret Mary can be found atSt. Joseph Center in Venice, CA where she volunteers three days aweek in the Monetary Advisory Program. Familiarly known as “MAP,”the program is designed to help financially and/or mentally challengedindividuals, some of whom are homeless, manage their money. Al-ways, for Sr. Margaret Mary, the bottom line is the magic of formingcompassionate relationships-- wherever she might find herself. On adaily basis, Margaret shares life with nine other DMJs residing at theRose Avenue community in Palms, CA.-- Sr. Karen Marie, DMJ

Sr. Margaret Mary Haller

Loving God, we love how you love us. We love how you free us. We love what youhave given and created to surround us. Help us to recognize, and to rejoice in, whathas been given, even in the midst of what is not given. Help us not to doubt all thatyou have given us, even when we feel our very real shortcomings. We thank you forthe promise and sign of your love in the Eternally Risen Christ, pervading all things inthe universe, unbound by any of our categories of logic or theology.

We offer you ourselves back in return. We offer you our bodies, our little lives,our racing minds and restless hearts into this one wondrous circle of Love that is You.My life is no longer just about me,but it is all about You.

—Richard Rohr. OFM

Sister Thérèse Martin Schwalenberg (1925-2014)

Evelyn Thérèse entered the Daughters of Mary and Joseph onFebruary 2nd, 1951 and took the name in Religion of Sister ThérèseMartin. Her patron saint, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, “the LittleFlower”, became a guide for her all her life. She lived the spiritualityof St. Thérèse…of always relying on God’s merciful love and the be-lief that one can achieve goodness through performing the humblestand simplest of tasks.

Thérèse taught music for 17 years at Pius X High School inDowney. Her music program was second to none. Everyone wantedto be part of her Choral groups—whether it be the Sarton Chorus,the Madrigal Singers or other groups—that was where the life was! Thérèse had the specialgift of bringing out the best in everyone. Thérèse was a gifted musician and Choral director,but even more important than what she accomplished--was the manner in how she did herministry. She always made the other person feel good—knowing that when talking withThérèse, you had her undivided attention and that she really cared. Often Thérèse wouldfollow up a conversation with a little note or cute card.

A very special word to Thérèse all her life was the word JOY. In the papers she wrote inthe hospital entitled, “My Wishes After Death,” she wrote that she wanted the community tocelebrate at dinner of the day she died with colorful decorations and wine! “Rain or Shine—Rejoice!”, she told us. Thérèse was a JOY to so many of us. It is said that we grow into andbecome how we see God. For Thérèse this was especially true. She saw God as “Goodness”,as “Joy”, as “Beauty”, as loving the little and insignificant. We thank God for our dear Thérèseand for all the good she accomplished while with us. Let us go forward in JOY!

Sister Philomena Mulholland (1928-2014)

Sister Philomena was born on 7 August 1928, in Dundalk, CountyLouth, Ireland. She began her novitiate in Castlecore, Ireland in 1952and completed her novitiate, pronouncing her first vows in Belgium.Between the years of 1955 and 1995, she was missioned to St. MichaelSchool, San Francisco; St. Paul the Apostle School, Los Angeles; St.James the Less School, La Crescenta; Our Lady of Peace School, Sepul-veda. Having retired from her teaching profession, Sister Philomena wasmissioned to Our Lady of the Rosary in Paramount where she served ashead school librarian for a number of years.

Sister Philomena’s gentle, calm and prayerful attitude soon gained the love and trust of thechildren and parents. She was particularly amused by the little first graders who loved theirbooks so much that they didn’t want to return them to the library. Sister Philomena was ex-tremely kind and loved the children. One of Sister’s assisting librarians said that she reallylearned a great deal from her, not just library skills, but practices that would help with herown children. Sr. Philomena would advise her to never tell a child, “Don’t do that”, but alwayssay, “Remember to do it this way.”

Sister loved to keep in touch with world affairs and she was a lover of poetry and nature.Her last poetry recitation was on Christmas Eve when she quoted the following:

The quality of mercy is not strain’dIt droppeth as the gentle rain from heavenUpon the place beneath: it is twice blest;

It blessed him that gives and him that takes.

Sister Mary Jensch (1928-2015)

“I thank the Lord that the Year of Consecrated Life coincides with the Synod on the Family.Family life and consecrated life are both vocations which bring enrichment and blessingsfor all. They are the spaces where human growth comes aboutthrough relationships, and they are also places of evangelization.Each can help the other”

—from Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letteron the Occasion of the Yearof Consecrated Life.

Mary Elizabeth was born in San Francisco on February 28, 1928. Shewas three years old when she walked into the home of Gertrude and Ray-mond Jensch, into a new world of love and devotion. Peggy, a Boston bullterrier, greeted her, her first dog in a succession of canine friends to be. Thisnew tightly-knit family lived in Saint John’s Parish, Hyde Park, San FernandoValley.

In 1950 Mary entered the Daughters of Mary and Joseph. With whole-hearted generosity she dedicated herself to the service of God and theChurch. She enriched our community with her many gifts; deep faith, enthusiasm, joy, humor,compassion, and her many professional skills. During her formation years she deepened her spiri-tual life and conscientiously dedicated herself to prayer – a pattern that grew steadily and sustainedher through the years.

In 1967 the DMJ’s opened Saint Joseph’s High School in Santa Maria in conjunction with ourBrother Community, the Josephite Fathers. Mary was one of the pioneers. She served as teacherand vice-Principal and left a lasting legacy of achievement and friendship. Her next assignment wasSaint Bernard High School in Playa del Rey where she served as both teacher and student coun-selor. In the early 70’s Mary was called back to Community to assume the role of Provincial leader-ship. During the 70’s she developed another passion – a passion for social justice and gave herselfgenerously to it. She visited Delano several times to support Caesar Chavez and the Farm Workers.In the past several years she has been part of an Interfaith community in Culver City.

In 2008 Mary came to live in Marian Residence. She said she was retiring but no one took thatseriously. These later years did give Mary time to enjoy her pet dogs, Phoebe and Derby. She alsocultivated an organic garden and kept us supplied with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, squash, rhu-barb and even pumpkins. And finally during these last two years Mary responded to acall to a new ministry, teaching ESL to women at Presentation Learning Center inWatts. With a bounce in her step, she headed off every Monday morning – truly a‘grand finale’ to her life’s call.
