Dear Associate Sisters and Brothers, Let’s get together at Mount Saint Joseph! Associates and Sisters Day is just around the corner on June 11. Our day together promises to be powerful and thought-provoking. It could even change our lives! For many of us, this day is the one occasion we have to share prayer and laughter with sisters, associates, and friends together. It’s our chance to welcome new associates and affirm those making their lifetime commitments. Let’s keep these sisters and brothers in our prayers as they take these steps with us, following the guidance of Saint Angela. Please take special note: The meeting place for Associates and Sisters Day has changed. We will gather in Conference Room A on the third floor of the Mount Saint Joseph Conference and Retreat Center. You’ll find the registration form on page 8. Here’s one more thought ... Mark your calendars and join us Aug. 27-28 as Sister Marietta Wethington leads an Angela retreat for Summer 2011. Watch our Mount Saint Joseph website for additional details. Deadline for registration is Aug. 15. See you soon!

Dear Friends, As we complete our year of prayer and reflection on change, this seems to be a good time to share with you a change that will happen in our office. At the end of June, I will be leaving the Office of Ursuline Partnerships as the director of formation. The decision was not an easy one and it has come only after a lot of prayer and discernment. This change allows me to focus more on my two other ministries, adjunct to Mount Saint Joseph Conference and Retreat Center and pastoral care for our senior sisters in the infirmary. These years of ministry with all of you have been wonderful ones. Walking with you as you have pursued a deeper relationship with Jesus in the spirit and charism of Saint Angela has been a time of deep enrichment for my own life. Thank you! I will not be too far away and I’m confident that our paths will cross again. Thank you for the blessing you have been to me. In the love of Jesus and Angela,

Sister Marietta Wethington, OSU
