To Open Up to the Spirit

What happened in Créteil since one point of

our community goal started with “to open

up to the Spirit”?

Our community looks at some events where

God beckons:

- The pastoral service of the popular

districts which the Bishop has made

his priority this year, has deployed in

us an attention and a presence to what

is happening in our neighborhood:

Volume 17 No 3 – June 2018 3

Presence in the “House for All” by participating in different activities: gym, sewing

workshop, activities with the children on Wednesday, etc.

Presence at the Block Party, which brings together the different social actors, and where

the presence of the sisters is greatly appreciated.

Presence to our Capuchins brothers, newly arrived who invite their neighbors (Christians

and Muslims) to the feast of St Anthony; the blessing of the statue of St Francis delighted

the hearts willing simplicity and attention.

Presence at the garden shared by the inhabitants of the neighborhood

Presence at the barbecue party with the people of our block at the beginning and the end

of the year

Presence at the Diocesan celebration with the people of the popular areas.

- The week of accompanied prayer has made real

the need of offering a deepening of the Word of

God.

Thus, after living with parishioners of Créteil, the

accompanied prayer week, sister Ghislaine felt the call

to propose a follow-up for people who want to continue

the use of the Word of God by making a "House of

Gospel", monthly.

What a joy to hear a lady say: "Now the Word of God is

no more for me a story but a living Word."

Pilgrimage to Bellevue

Last May, to mark the anniversary of my perpetual vows in the

church Our Lady of Bellevue, S. Marie-Anna Marceau and me,

attended Sunday mass in the parish. We then visited our former *

Home for young girls * rue Ernest Renan. We had arrived in that

community in 1966-1967.

What a joy for us to be hosted

by a young Maronite priest,

who took time to make us visit

the Park and the House. He

was interested in the history of

our congregation who has lived

in this residence.

The chapel remains the place of worship of this Bishop’s

palace.

The SSCM will be always welcome in this Maronite brothers’ house in Bellevue.

Feast of the Holy Heart of Mary at Montgeron

At Montgeron, on June 9, 2018, we solemnized the feast of the Holy Heart of Mary. All the

sisters were present as well as the affiliates. Father Gabriel Vuittenez, superior of the spiritan

community of the 30, rue Lhomond, celebrated the

Eucharist. After mass, two new affiliates made their

promise, then all the affiliates renewed theirs. Father

Gabriel Vuittenez, a former missionary in

Madagascar during 24 years, wanted to be present

for the reception of Marie-Bernadette, Madagascan,

as he knew her for a long time. She and Marie-

Yvonne, from Melun, committed themselves for the

first time. The photo shows Father Gabriel blessing

the new affiliates.

Goodbye, Catherine

Today, on June 21st, 2018, we say goodbye to our nurse.

13 years in service with our elderly sisters, Catherine has found her place in our House by being

adapted to the circumstances, events and care of each one. Her warm presence made a serene life

for our sisters. She poured into the hearts all the love that the Lord and the Virgin Mary put in

hers. She accompanied 23 Sisters and 3 ‘’Moms’’ to the doorstep of the House of the Lord.

All the Sisters of the region and the employees of our house of Montgeron have shared the meal

and evoked so many memories... The time of the gift was a moment of intense emotion as she

discovered a frame collecting the pictures of all the sisters she has known.

Happy to retire, which will leave her more available to her family, she will not fail to greet her

"sisters". Thank you Catherine!

Charism Presentation

The actual title of our Committee is SHARING OUR CHARISM COMMITTEE. The

Committee was begun in 2014. It consists of six Sisters and 6 lay women. The Mandate given to

the CHARISM Committee was “to see to the oversight and development of present programs, to

see to the development of means to promote the SSCM charism through membership in vowed

life and through various ways of association with the SSCM’s.”

To be able to bring together the 12 members of the committee to a common understanding of

what CHARISM meant and how we see it in our everyday lives was the first project on the

UNITED STATES

Volume 17 No 3 – June 2018 5

agenda. As a tool to do this, the book entitled Charism by Father Laurent Boisvert was obtained

and reflected on at our first meetings.

We chose then to include at the beginning of all of our meetings a time of sharing on Charism.

That sharing on Charism has been a great help to us in forming a common bond in our committee

and of stretching and deepening our understanding of Charism.

The Mandate of the Committee “to see to the oversight and development of present programs”

meant that the Committee would look at each of our existing programs; The Vocation Program,

the Affiliate Program begun in 1982, the Servant Companion Program approved in 2011, the

Consecrated Laity Program initiated in 2012, the Delaplace Prayer Ministry approved in 2014.

One of our first projects after coming to an understanding of the programs was to develop

literature for each program that would be separate

but that all of the literature would resemble each

other. (The committee worked with a wonderful

local graphic artist and printer company. The

relationship was so enriching for both involved that

we have become good friends.)

Another project was to prepare and present a

Charism Workshop given at our new Province

Center in Kankakee and at Nazareth Spirituality

Center in Batavia. The initial workshop was

designed to familiarize our affiliates and friends in both communities with Charism and with the

17th

Century French School of Spirituality. (At our first workshop we focused on the Founders of

the French School. We looked at the values of those leaders and the ways they shared those

values. We reflected on the way in which those gospel values were lived and handed down

through the centuries and how we live them today. The same values lived and expressed in

different but graced ways today.)

A second Charism Workshop centered on the theme of our history here in the United States and

how our Charism was lived out in those ministries. We are currently working on another

workshop to be held this coming October. (This

workshop focuses in on Faith, Self-Giving and

Family Spirit. We will look at each and ask what it

is? Use an activity that will help all experience the

charism and then we have asked witnesses to say

how they have lived it).

Our Committee time is usually interesting, filled

with energy and productivity. That also seems to be

a good definition of the presence of the Holy Spirit

active in our midst.

Meeting of the General Council with the

Charism Committee

6 Volume 17 N

o 3 - June 2018

Several years ago, Father Frank Morrissey stated that as long as there are persons attracted to our

charism, this is a sign of the Holy Spirit that our Charism is still needed in the Church in the

world. It is a conviction of this truth that gives us so much energy and love. One of our latest acts

in the Committee was to ask the Province Leader and the Council if Leadership might appoint a

lay woman as our Vocation Directress. The request was granted and the Vocation Directress is a

vital part of our Committee. (The Committee is her support group and her brainstorming group).

We are constantly aware of the question, “In what ways can we share our Charism with others?”

and we look for ways that that might be implemented.

75 Years of Religious Profession...

The chosen date, March 3, 2018, for my 75th anniversary of religious profession was,

at the same time, when the Cross of Evangelization was in Saint-Eloi-les-Mines,

MÉKINAC. What a coincidence!

At 3 pm, in the chapel of this service, several

people from five Christian communities of the new parish

of Holy Heart of Mary came to prayer time, which was

followed by the Eucharistic celebration offered at my

intentions and celebrated by the Abbot Benoît Matiri. A

group of affiliates was present; my brother Raymond and

sister-in-law Jacqueline Benoît came from Quebec. The

choirs of the three former Christian communities Saint-

Eloi, Saint-Rémi and Notre-Dame-des-Anges raised the

celebration. A choir-member, Mr. Jacques Leblanc, to my great surprise, sang: "Dieu seul, Dieu

seul.". At the sound of his voice, my heart rejoiced.

After the mass, Mr. Florent Girard, on behalf of the affiliates gave me a gift: St. Joseph lying

sleeping deeply. The liturgy team of the three former Christian communities offered me a

beautiful wreath of white flowers.

Sister Céline Boilard, my community companion, thanked the

Assembly and especially all the people who came to share with us the

joy of this anniversary. Finally, the same singer interpreted the song: O

Holy heart of Mary, a major first since the formation of the new parish.

Really, this has exceeded my expectations. We came back home, at

5:45 pm, with our guests, Mr Benoît Matiri, priest moderator, my

brother and my sister-in-law, to eat and continue to share our feelings.

This feast was spent with joy and filled with love. Thanks to sister

Céline, who arranged everything and all those present in body and mind

for their affection near the Lord.

A Small Wink of Affiliation

For 27 years, my spouse and I are affiliated with the beautiful family of the Servants of the Holy

Heart of Mary. We find there a good way of ‘’resourcement’’ for our life as married couple. We

belong to the Group Mary of Nazareth attached to the House of 37, avenue des Cascades.

The year just ending allowed us to live within the group, but also with the religious activities:

prayer time to prepare the feast of Christmas, Marian celebration, renewal of our commitments '

on the occasion of the Vespers... Precisely, on June 3

2018, we lived the celebration of the first engagement in

the affiliation of Mrs. Carole Blackburn. These moments

of prayer with the Community mean a lot to people

affiliated of our group. Praying in the chapel brings

more to our interiority.

It is with a lot of nostalgia that we see the Sisters leaving

37, avenue des Cascades to be relocated at 2500,

Camille-Lefebvre Street, Quebec. But we will continue

the mission and embodying the charism of Francis and

Jeanne-Marie on a daily basis. Let us make our own these words of our Founder: "Often,

obstacles seem insurmountable. What’s to be done? Pray. »

Sudden Death of Father Jean-Claude, Lafleur, ofm capuchin,

Chaplain at the Provincial House 37, Avenue des Cascades, Québec

This is the message of condolence addressed on May 14, 2018 to

the Capuchins at a mass offered for the repose of the soul of Father

Jean-Claude Lafleur:

Dear Father André Chicoine and your dear friars,

At the Eucharist, this afternoon, we carry in our prayer the good

father Jean-Claude Lafleur, whose earthly pilgrimage ended with

his pilgrimage to the Virgin of Lourdes, on May 7.

This unexpected departure leaves a great void to our Capuchins

friends as well as to the Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary, both Francis of Assisi and Francis

Delaplace being so close.

Our deepest condolences to you, Father André Chicoine, Father Jacques Mathieu, guardian, to all

of you at the monastery of Limoilou and to your religious family! We deeply share your sorrow.

8 Volume 17 N

o 3 - June 2018

We also want to give thanks to God the Father for the extraordinary mission accomplished by

dear Father Lafleur. This born educator marked generations of young people; his generous heart

accompanied: poor and voiceless; his priestly soul proclaimed the Word of God and

accomplished his ministry with great fervor; his generosity and sense of humor were

proverbial. We greatly benefit of it and we thank him very warmly. We pray to the Lord to welcome his worthy son of St Francis and we beg to intercede for all

people Father Lafleur has known, loved and served. May he rest in the peace of the Lord!

A Centennial to celebrate! In the Holy

Heart of Mary Province, this is a first:

celebrating 100 years of a sister and 80

years of consecrated life; It's all a burst

of Thanksgiving to offer.

Yes, on Sunday February 11, it was a

great celebration at 30 des Cascades, as

guests came from different places to

celebrate the centenary of our dear sister

Alice Tardif.

First, there was a time of welcome and spontaneous sharings of our superior general, Sister

Kathleen Mulchay, of several Sisters Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary and Tardif family

members. It was the joy of the reunion and above all happiness to celebrate a Centennial.

Then, we go to the chapel for a moment of Thanksgiving with the Eucharistic celebration

presided by Father Albert. Everything was bright, solemn and chosen for the occasion: Word of

God, comments, songs and music, not to mention the flowery decoration. The heart was at the

party.

A festive meal in the cafeteria followed the joy of the Eucharistic celebration. The kitchen team

put all their heart for a meal equal to our Jubilee sister and her guests.

We recognize in Sister Alice a woman of hope that she is and always was. To illustrate, let me

borrow a few sentences from the tribute that Sister Ginette Hardy addressed during the meal.

"Your happiness, your thoughtfulness, your empathy make you a charming woman with whom life

is good. Your responses very appropriate still testify to your quick wit. Woman of contemplation,

every day, you spend hours in prayer and worship. You are open to change and new things. You

still have a great interest in news; you are a regular reader of the newspaper. The events of the

Congregation echoed in your heart, you are aware of what is lived in the different countries."

Volume 17 No 3 – June 2018 9

We could still continue... On notes of warm congratulations again repeated for the wonders that

the Lord did in our dear sister Alice and with her, the day ends on a harmonious Symphony of

good wishes and marks of appreciation. Congratulations Sister Alice and we wish to continue a

long way on your way!

The Celebration of the Golden Jubilee

On June 2, 2018, the beautiful chapel of our family house, at 37, Avenue of waterfalls, in Quebec

City, shone brilliantly to celebrate the Jubilee of four of our sisters, S. Céline Martineau, S. Alice

allaire, S. Noelline Turgeon, and S. Colette Dostie.

After this time of Thanksgiving to the God of their

life, to whom they gave all their strength and their

talents, the party continued with a fraternal meal

where the joy of celebrating with their own

families, sisters and friends seemed obvious.

This meeting allows you to reconnect with bonds

weaved by years of service and various

commitments and presence to the world and to the

Church.

S. Kathleen Mulchay, sign of the fraternal

communion of the whole congregation, is in the

center of the picture.

An Educator Mission That Continues...

As an educator, I continue to work with joy, for the knowledge of the child which maintains the

youthfulness of the heart. The wonders of nature reveal the glory of God. The child, as well as

the flower begins to grow in fertile ground for the awakening of his person.

For that, a lot of qualities must be attributed to the teacher: affection, patience, listening,

creativity, resourcefulness, respect, etc. Thanks be to God, I

think I was called for this career, which is a long journey to

plan, to be able to open the door to the positive, to the beauty

of life.

I always liked children, be they little or small or older. I do

not regret my 40 years of teaching and I am proud to extend

by giving recycling regardless of the degree, to the youth of

the Holy heart of Mary day school. These young make me

live with their candid thoughts and the explosion of their joy

in front of a success.

Let Us Protect Life! Let Us Protect The Environment!

Since the session on the spirituality of Creation, lived in February with sisters Lise Lavallée and

Susana Teruel, aware to the theme of the

protection of our common home, we wondered as

team of pastoral for Vocations how to help

educate others regarding this reality. So we think

of taking benefit of the workshops Maria Moisan

to transmit to the children the values of

environmental protection. With games, songs, the

message of the Holy Father in Laudato Si, the

Word of God, the life of Marie Moisan, children from three of our communities: Arroyo Apolo,

Florida y Santa Cruz del Norte, have discovered little by little the beauty of our planet, the

importance of each one, the urgency and the responsibility of taking care. They expressed their

commitment by drawings, posters, the collection

of waste on the edge of the sea in Santa Cruz del

Norte, the seed of a plant. One of the children, 8

years Brayan said: «I liked seeing the message of

the Holy Father, asking us to take care of the

planet." I want to tell the world that we should no

longer contaminate nature, that we should no

longer throw waste in the sea »

orientations of the 2016 General Chapter, for this we have been faithful to our daily biblical

prayer, we decided to do the mission between the

two and to be sign of community in the people.

One of the two sisters agreed to give a course of

bible on Lectio Divina, in two Christian

communities of the country, at the easternmost

border of the diocese.

We initiated the Group Orantes, with women

who pray for our intentions and feed from our

The Rosary every day of May with the neighbors and members of the community, deepening

As we have a wide land, we take care of our property, eating what we cultivate with organic

fertilizer.

We continue to visit our neighbors and the families of the village in moments of joy or sorrow.

We try to use e-mail and phone calls to be close to people in

difficulty. We encourage the missionary team of the Christian

community to go to a distant colony to bring the Catholic

presence.

During Advent, we went out on the street carrying Mary and

Joseph on their donkey and during Lent, praying the Stations of

the Cross every week in different areas of the district.

For our Self-financing, we started selling the surplus of the harvest of the chard, cucumbers and

beans and we have made the Christmas cards and crafts to sell.

Restoring the Strengths of a Traumatized Person: An Easter Experience in Nuevitas

From April 28 to May 2, a group of 45 people lived an intense experience of "Easter" in the

parish of Nuevitas, in the North of Camaguey. It was a “'caravan of restoration of human vital

strengths in the traumatic experience': four days of training for individuals who were deeply

affected by the hurricane "Irma" - which struck Cuba

last September - or by another traumatic

situation. The animation team consisted of eight

religious men and women religious, three arrived

from Montreal (a Honduran, a Peruvian and a

Haitian), another of Haiti (a Brazilian missionary)

and four religious of Cuba, all trained at the Institute

of Integral Human formation of Montreal (IFHIM).

The people arrived with for fears, sadness, rage, resentment, guilt... but with the desire to stand

up, to recover the confidence and the joy of growing up in the inner freedom, to be "restored." In

the afternoon of Tuesday, May 2, when returning home, all recognized with admiration and

gratitude, the change that was operated within them and which can be seen on their faces, their

smiles, and even in their body posture: inner peace, joy of living, release of guilt, steps of

reconciliation... even you already discovered fruits shining on their families and closest friends! It

is the strength of the Easter at work in the hearts...!

all those who have supported us

Echoes of our Vocational Activities

The vocational Committee of our region directed its activities this year under the

theme of the next Synod of youth: "Youth, Faith and Vocation Discernment." In April,

a vocational session gathering 57

girls held at the Marie Moisan Center of

Mbalmayo with the theme: "Young today, How

do you live your Faith?” Our S. Hortense

Nyamouth helped them to discover how to live

their faith on a daily basis practice.

On Sunday May 8. 2018, we went out to Ekam –

Ndama, town of Akonolinga, Jesus the good

Shepherd Parish of the diocese of Mbalmayo, to reach out to the youth for promoting the culture

of vocations and daring to offer the SSCM

consecrated life. What a joy to see so many

young people in research and thirsty to

discover their vocation! In June, we had a

vocational camp of 6 days in Mbalmayo and

a 3 days spiritual retreat for our older

aspirants. Thanks for keeping us and all of

them in your prayers.

The Family Spirit at Our Lady of Victories College

In the college of Our Lady of victories, the SSCM team

there, works with the staff for complete formation of the

students. We also do our best to transmit the spirit of our

Founders. What has been significant throughout this

school year is the family spirit that exists between

students, parents, and coaches. At happy events, such as

the Festival of our Lady of Victories, the teachers of each

class with their students promoted conviviality through a

shared

meal. For the staff, the Family spirit is lived through

the celebrations of birthdays. On May 1St

, Labour

Day gave us also an opportunity of being together, of

sharing the joy of exchanging gifts and strengthening

the bonds. These moments of joy are the

characteristic of our college and our entire

'The Effects Which Arouse the Experience of Mutual

Confirmation': One of the Fruits of the International

Meeting of Young Members of the Congregation Lived in

France from May 15 to July 13, 2017.

Providence decided that three sisters who have lived this

experience make up our community. The challenge became

bigger for us... Under the impulse of the spirit, our Region wanted to grow more this year in "the

taking care". As a result, our community is inspired by this symbol.

The mutual confirmation was one of our chosen means. That bears

many fruits within us, such as the joy of the consecration, the inner

vitality of the positive energies, the regular dialogue between us, the

ability to adjust to the unexpected and many others... We continue our

experience which models us within and gives us a true and deep peace.
