From the PrioressBy: Sister Benita DeMatteis, OSB

We are theBenedictine Sisters

of Pittsburgh,continuing 1500 years

of seeking God inCommunity,

Prayerand Ministry.

Fidelity, faithfulness, and commitment do not get muchreinforcement in our society or media. We’re more likely tofind articles encouraging spontaneity or a readiness to trysomething new - often at the expense of a prior obligationor promise.

I realize how fortunate I have been to be surrounded by examples of faithfulnessall my life. My mother adhered firmly and devotedly to us and to the needs of ourfamily for 64 years. She showed us that faithfulness does not know weariness.

Monastic life is also grounded in commitment and faithfulness. Underlying thethree vows we take is one commitment. The promise we sign at the altar is onepromise: a promise to commit one’s entire being to the life God has given (stability),to change and grow in grace in this life (conversatio), according to the demandsand limits this life brings (obedience). Faithfulness is a spiritual guard that forces usto stop running in order to encounter God, self, and others right now, right here.Beyond the challenging and sometimes painful process of growth in a relationship,there is the tedium of stability. One wakes up in a marriage to the same face, yearafter year. There are the little habits and quirks that never seem to go away. Andit is tedium, found in the daily round of monastic prayer, rising at the same earlytime every morning, sharing meals and recreation with the same people week inand week out, and always in the same place or keeping a household going, thatforces us to stop running away so that we may find God in the here and now.

Both the marriage bond and monastic vows involve commitment and faithfulnessto years of difficult, often painful learning. Neither guarantees automatic peace ofmind. But each gives a firm foundation in which to enter into the inevitable difficultiesof growth, for we know that growth will indeed come through commitment.“Never swerving from his instructions, then, but faithfully observing his teachingin the monastery until death, we shall through patience share in the sufferings ofChrist that we may deserve also to share in his kingdom.” (RB Prologue)

St. Benedict spoke of progress in monastic life as a progress in faith. Faith meanssomething more than belief. It is steadfastness through the ups and downs of lifeand our psychological responses to life. This is the sense St. Benedict has of theword when he says the monk is a “man of faith.” The monastic is a person who isfaithful to the journey she has begun to follow. She is committed to that opennesswhich is a progression from the limitations of self into the limitless life of God.Faithfulness to prayer bolsters us in hard times. Our prayer is a mirror of our life.

Commitment happens on a daily basis. It is something we grow into. On ourProfession day, we profess our vows to live a life of dedication to God, but each andevery day, we make a conscious decision again and again to live with faithfulness.Commitment is being at home within ourselves. Whatever we do we do for apurpose larger than ourselves.

The faithfulness of each of you, our friends and benefactors who have blessedus so abundantly throughout this past year, is such an inspiration. Thank you forthe many ways in which you bless the lives of our Sisters and our ministries.

Mary, who lived faithfulness to its fullness holds our hand and leads us to Jesus,our hope. One step at a time we can make small daily differences which, over time,add up to big differences. This is faithfulness.

Youshallneverwalkalone…

FaithfulnessBy: Sister Shelly Farabaugh, OSB

Toward the end of the year, often people

stop to evaluate their lives. Where am I going?

Is my career successful in the way I had hoped?

Are there relationships in my life that I need

to evaluate? Am I happy? The last question

is often the hardest since our definition of

happiness changes with each age and era.

Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh

Abraham Lincoln said: “People are about as happyas they make up their mind to be.” When I was younger,I hated that quote because it made me responsible forsomething that I wanted to fall out of the sky andland on my head. Does this mean I might have somechoice if I am unhappy in my life? And what is it thatcontributes to happiness? People who use drugs mightsay happiness means having no pain. Some peoplemight say happiness comes from getting what you wantfor yourself and others. There was a recent moviecalled “The Pursuit of Happyness” where a man losteverything and continued to be an example of hope forhis son. He was not destroyed by adversity but tookthe challenges that presented themselves and workedhard to transform his life in order to be a good fatherand example for his son.As Benedictine monastics, we take a vow that used

to be called Conversion of Morals. Now it is moreappropriately called “Conversion according to themonastic way of life.” That means that we never stoptrying to grow and learn. We never arrive at the end

point until we die. To be open to change, to let go of our opinions, to let someone else do it their way(when we think that our way is better) can be verydifficult – yet that is what this vow means. It calls usto allow ourselves to be transformed by the life thatGod presents to us. We are called to be faithful inour pursuit of a higher good and to be transformedby the journey.Now some of you might say, but that is what I

do and I have never taken the vow of Conversion of Life. You may have been baptized, formally orinformally, and you have chosen to allow your life tobe directed by something greater than yourself andyour own appetites and wants. As religious people byour Baptism, as spiritual people by our commitment inour lives, as Benedictines by our vow, we have decidedto allow the glory of God to be alive in us and to shareit with others. So how is this really important? Weare talking about fidelity to the song God placed inour lives and hearts. A real meaning of happiness isaccepting things as they are and not just as we wouldwant them – to be different or to be smoother or tobe my way.We are really talking about happiness that comes

from fidelity. Fidelity has synonyms like loyalty,devotion, and piety. Fidelity means faithfulness tosomething to which one is bound by pledge or duty.And most especially, loyalty indicates faithfulness

in the face of temptation to renounce, betray, or desertthe process of being transformed by fidelity. We live in a time of “seeking the easier way”, “what’s

the least I can do?”, and “that is too much trouble.” I dare say transformation and fidelity have lost theirimportance for many people in their pursuit of happiness.Psalm 1 talks about the way to happiness which isclinging to God’s way. The second chapter of Sirachalso spells out the process of fidelity:

“My child, when you come to serve the LORD, prepare yourself for trials.

Be sincere of heart and steadfast, undisturbed in time of adversity.

Cling to him, forsake him not; thus will your future be great.

Accept whatever befalls you, in crushing misfortune be patient;

for in fire gold is tested…”(Sirach 2: 1-3)

As Benedictines, as Christians, as people of faith andspirit, we are called to fidelity in the search for God inour lives and in our world. If that search is a time of trialfor you, remember that others are journeying along withyou and can be a support and help in your transformation.We need Conversion and Fidelity and Loyalty to be pilgrims together on the way to true happiness.

Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh

By: Sister Evelyn Dettling, OSB

The front entrance of St. Benedict Monastery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

In the Holy Rule, St. Benedict says: “The concernmust be whether the novice truly seeks God and showseagerness for the work of God, for obedience and for trials.” This good zeal comes from a heart trulymotivated by love, a love that overflows in peace andjoy in the daily observance of the Rule. This is thebenchmark for an authentic monastic vocation. Intoday’s world, there are people who still find this age-old injunction “to seek God in prayer and in service”a compelling invitation.

A recent conversation with several women who areinterested in becoming vowed members of our monasticcommunity, made clear that this focus of St. Benedicton seeking God, on obedience and loving service, onremaining steadfast even in difficult situations is atthe heart of their attraction to religious life. Eachresponded in her own way to the question, “Why areyou interested in monastic life?”

One woman said:

I came to the monastery because I wanted to seekGod in a deeper way and to discover ways to serveGod in and through others. I wanted to do this everyday, not just as a volunteer in my parish. I enjoyed mycareer in the business world but found that it becameshallow and meaningless. I felt I was being called tomore. As I listened to the Spirit of God in prayer andthrough those around me, I realized I desired a wayof life that would encompass my very being. I wantedto live in community, to be engaged in communalprayer from which would flow a ministry of serviceto others. Each day I seek to continue on my journeyin seeking God in the present moment. Even thoughthis is not always easy, I witness the peace and joy ofthose older sisters who have struggled faithfully tolive this life for many years, and I am at peace.

Another stated:

Women today live in a climate of radical change.Our culture has slowly begun the hard work ofunveiling past structures and mindsets in order toface the deep truths that set us free to claim our trueenergy and become who we truly are. Religious life isa viable, intentional path for seeking our inner soul.We are looking to connect with our truest self, ourdeepest identity that unites us with God. We want tojoin our mission, our ministry, our cause with thecause of all creation, with God. We can do this onlyin the framework of sacred relationships. By living incommunity, by sharing communal prayer and life’sdeep mysteries, we become one with each other, onewith creation, and one with God. Religious life is notso much an answer to the mysteries of life, as theroad that leads to the fullness of life. The closer weget, the more we see that we have been there allalong. The journey of monastic life is about learningto know and trust ourselves, each other, and God.

A third woman who has been a vowed member of anapostolic community for a number of years and nowwants to transfer to a monastic community noted:

I found here at St. Benedict Monastery a strongcommitment to living a vital, faithful, and meaningfulcommunity life. The sisters treat each other with reverence and help one another with mutual respect.

Fidelity to communal prayer, religious traditions andcustoms like standing in “statio” on major feasts andprocessing into chapel as a total community havetouched my heart. This supportive atmosphere andcommon prayer have enabled me to minister whole-heartedly to people in need. Each day, I feel more athome, more able to be myself within the communityworking, playing, and praying together.

When asked about the challenges of living monasticlife today, all three women agreed that maintaining abalance among prayer, ministry, and leisure is at thehead of the list. They mentioned that living simplytakes insight and determination to distinguish theirreal needs from their wants and desires. For each ofthem, there is a need for patience with the process ofincorporation. To grow into a community of friendsand disciples and attain a true sense of belonging and“at homeness” takes time. The spontaneous and unrehearsed answers of

these women support the findings of researchers likePatrice J. Tuohy who states that women are drawn toreligious life today for an in-depth prayer life, immersionin community, and meaningful service to God’s people.Today’s vocation directors and discerners prove thatthe wisdom of Benedict in the 6th century is still true,viable and meaningful in our post-modern world.“The concern must be whether the novice truly

seeks God and shows eagerness for the work of God,for obedience and for trials.”

“Let all, therefore, follow the

Rule in all things as their guide,

and from it let no one rashly

turn aside. Let no one in the

Monastery follow the will of her

own heart: nor let anyone presume

insolently to contend with her

Prioress, either within or without

the Monastery.”

(Rule of St. Benedict, Chapter 3Saints Benedict and Scholastica(Original clay sculpture by Sr. Dolores Conley, OSB)

Benedictine spirituality teaches us that life inCommunity is Christ-o-centric. The Prioress isto represent Christ to her Community.

Sr. Judith Nero, OSB

Sister Judith Nero was born inCanton, Ohio, of Italian immigrantparents, Cipriano and Santella. Shewas raised with her sister Jean andreceived her education in both thepublic and Catholic schools. As she became acquainted with the Benedictine Sisters in herparish, she had the desire to enter the Communityafter the 8th grade, but due to her mother’s long termillness, she deferred to her father’s wish that she stayhome and help with her care.Following high school and work in the business field,

Sr. Judith did enter the community. Her experienceswere, and still are, ones in which she has used hercreativity. As she puts it: “Perhaps what is typical of my years in ministry is my readiness to take on

new ventures, the ability to adjust and adapt to newcircumstances, applying education, formation andexperience in pastoral ministry to new situations.” Sr. Judith is one woman who has the talent to “thinkoutside the box”! She has been teacher, Parish SocialMinistry, DRE, Pastoral Care Associate, CampusMinister, Coordinator of Elderly Services for CatholicCharities, Community Vocation Director, and more. What keeps Sister Judith faithful? Judith states that

experiencing the fidelity and constancy of family, sistersin community and others enables her to be faithful. Sheremembers the promise of the presence of God whenthe going gets rough: “I will be with you always”, and“I can do all things in God who strengthens me.”

Regarding the future of the community, Sister Judithhopes that we embrace the world, not afraid of adjustingto new circumstances, addressing new challenges tocontinue this way of life known as Benedictine.

Sister Mary Edward Skovran, OSB

Sister Mary Edward Skovran has called Pittsburghhome from the early 1920’s when her parents immigratedto America with 5 children. Eventually 5 more childrenwere born. To be even more specific, she grew up onthe North Side and attended St.Mary School which wasstaffed by the Benedictine Sisters. Her high schooleducation was at St. Benedict Academy. “To becomeBenedictine was a whole lifetime experience. Theirexamples led me to listen for the call from God.” Nowthis is not so unusual when we learn that her motherwas a Benedictine Oblate and an older sister, SisterAndrea, entered the Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburghten years before Mary Edward did.Education, as a teacher and principal, was her main

ministry in Pennsylvania and Ohio for most of her yearsin Community. After those years in education, there wereother ministries; and to name a couple, she worked atan Adult Day Care Center, in the Nutrition Center ata Senior Citizens Center, and as a volunteer in an elementary school. Recently, Sister was granted theopportunity to “retire”. She enjoys the time that she

now has for herself and remains a vibrant, full of life, willing to help, and always smiling member of Community. So what keeps Sr. Mary Edward

Skovran faithful to her Benedictine commitment? “The grace of God; Community living and prayer; the

companionship of my Sisters and their acceptance andaffirmation of who I am and what I do” is her unhesitantresponse. And when it gets a little rough, what keepsher steady? With her beautiful smile, she states: “Simplyplacing all in the hands of God. Smile and be happy;help others in need; spread God’s love to others.” Speaking about faithfulness, Sr. Mary Edward will

be celebrating her 60th Anniversary in Religious Lifein 2009! Her hopes for the future of the Communityare that “… the Community remains a spirited onewith the Sisters involved in the ministries of the timethat give witness to the love of God. Above all, theSisters should be a witness and/or advocates for thosein need. Work for PEACE here and now for the entire world.”

Sister Eleanor Easly, OSB

Sister Eleanor Easly’s gracious gentleness was conveyedto the hundreds of young children she educated. Throughher many years as an educator, Sister Eleanor’s deeplove of the Eucharist became an example for the littlechildren as she prepared them for First Holy Communion.You could readily see Sr. Eleanor’s love for her studentsas they would surround her with their bright, eagerfaces. Sister said that it was a “toss up” as to whobenefited the most in her classroom – the children intheir pursuit of learning or Sr. Eleanor as she receivedtheir warmth and love. Sister Eleanor was a faithful presence at the Divine

Office and Eucharist, the love of her life. She participatedin all of the prayer times of the community even whenit became difficult for her. The rhythm of prayer wasan important part of Sr. Eleanor’s life. The gift of laughter was an important part of Sister’s

make-up. Whether it was her hearty laugh when she wona round of pinochle or her appreciation of somethinghumorous, Eleanor had an infectious laugh and smile.The members of the Community would delight in anyvisit of “Agnes” at our many community gatherings.This was a time when Sister Eleanor (the former AgnesEasly) would regale the community with stories, jokesand quips while attired in her “Agnes” dress and finery. Sister Eleanor went to our gracious God on July 9,

2008. May she live in peace.

God called three of our Sisters one by one to come to their eternal home.

Sister Ludmilla Rojik, OSB

Sister Ludmilla Rojik heard the words of the ProphetIsaiah “…with divine recompense God comes to saveyou…” Sister’s long life of 101 years was a witness tothe fullness of fidelity, abiding friendship, reverence forthe young and the old. Throughout her 83 years ofmonastic life, she spent much time in front of the BlessedSacrament praying Divine Office, attending EucharisticLiturgy and quietly reading or praying the rosary.Her love of all was evident, particularly during

her years of ministry. Sister taught for 53 years in theelementary schools of the Pittsburgh and Greensburgdioceses. After caring for her elderly mother, Sr. Ludmillacame home to the Monastery to continue to serve herMonastic family in a variety of ways.Sister Ludmilla appreciated the monastic value of

stewardship. Later years would find her beautifyingspecial nooks of the Monastery. Sr. Ludmilla reallyenjoyed caring for plants. Her “green thumb” couldmake a “stick” take on lush foliage. She also had an artistic bent that was expressed in her crochetingprojects. Many an infant wore the delicate creationsthat her crochet hook had produced.Like Sr. Eleanor, Sr. Ludmilla had a lively sense of

humor. With a perfectly straight face and a twinkle inher eye, she would share a quip that made one trulyappreciate her and her insight into a situation.Sister Ludmilla followed the call of the Guardian

Angels on October 2, 2008. May she sing with theangels on High.

Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh. She was preceded in death by Sister Anna Marie Kunzler. Sister CarolynKunzler continues to reside at the Monastery.When asked about why she entered the Benedictine

Sisters of Pittsburgh, Sister Claudia responded, “Forme, the best way I could fulfill my Baptismal call toknow, love and serve God, was to give myself totallyto God through my vowed life as a Benedictine Sister.”During her 61 years of Monastic life, she spent asmuch time as possible in quiet prayer before theBlessed Sacrament. Sister Claudia had great devotionto the Blessed Virgin. The rosary was an importantpart of her personal prayer life. Ministry to others was also very important to

Sr. Claudia. For 55 years, she educated primary children in the Dioceses of Pittsburgh, Greensburgand Altoona-Johnstown. One of the “best” parts ofher teaching experience was the preparation of secondgraders for their First Holy Communion. Sr. Claudiafelt deeply honored to assist these little ones in coming“to the Table of the Lord”. One of her pastors, Fr.

Here on the Mount, our Sisters continue to faithfully serveGod through their ministries. Even though the ministriesvary, the mission is always the same – to seek conversionof life in all humility through their daily work of serviceto others. In this column, we recognize both the ordinaryand extraordinary events that lead to the conversion oflife or “conversio morum” in the daily lives and ministriesof the Sisters.

The Benedictine Senior Center received a “face lift” with newcarpeting and freshly painted walls thanks to a bequest from aformer member, Ann Rose Smith. Sr. Evelyn Dettling, whoserved lovingly as the community subprioress for the past tenyears, is now the new Director of the Center. Sr. Mary AgnesGmuer, who served as the procurator/building manager incharge of housekeeping and maintenance for the past seventeenyears, is developing new talents as the Secretary of the Center.Sr. Corinne Moeller sadly relinquished her job at the local foodbank to return to the Center as the Information and Referralcontact. Sr. Norma Weigand transferred her culinary skills fromMeals on Wheels to the Nutrition Center where she organizesand distributes meals to the seniors. These three Sisters join withSr. Georgine Schweers, Finance Director, and Srs. ValeriaOsterrieder and Mary Kay Easly, loyal volunteers, as theycarry out their respective ministries. The Center recently received

a Certificate of Achievement from the County’s Area Agencyon Aging in recognition of 100% compliance with the SeniorCommunity Center Validation Process.

Sr. Audrey Quinn recently had her picture in the paper as the Director of the Salvation Army Service Center for GreeneCounty. Sisters Audrey and Susan Fazzini have long beeninvolved in serving the needy of Greene County through avariety of volunteer projects.

Sr. Barbara Helder, our community secretary and liturgist,can be found in her office these days continuing to createbeautiful and meaningful prayer services or printing out theworship aides in the print shop. Her creative writing talentscontinue to bless the community and guests.

Sr. Barbara Jayne Vopat led a pilgrimage to the Holy Landwith Fr. Dan Begin in December. The trip is a fundraiser for the community.

Sr. Benita DeMatteis, our new prioress, and Sr. Michael Mack,our new treasurer, attended NATRI (National Association ofTreasurers of Religious Institutes) in Denver from November 17 toNovember 21. Even though this was their first NATRI meetingin their new monastic leadership roles, this was actually the lastNATRI meeting as NATRI is merging with the Legal ResourceCenter for Religious. The new organization will be called theResource Center for Religious Institutes. Dan Ward, OSB, willbe the Executive Director.

Sr. Bridget Reilly was an adult leader at a Kairos Retreat forJuniors and Seniors at Quigley Catholic High School this pastFall. She led a meditation on the Challenge of Christ. Duringthe retreat, the students developed a deeper understanding ofChrist, of others and of themselves that will help them growinto mature adults.

It is the Monastic woman’s belief that “to be faithfulthrough the years” means that she must walk the paththat Jesus walked. This does not mean simply to knowhow to pray, or to suffer, or to teach religion. It is theability to bring a loving touch of concern to thosewith whom we are working. As monastic women, welearn early in our religious lives to bring God into ourdealings with others.As I was thinking about this article and the theme,

Faithfulness, I received a letter from a former studentsharing with me a thesis she wrote while attendingJohn Carroll University. The theme of the thesis wasabout religious women who were certainly spiritualwomen but also were human beings. She used as hermodels, St. Therese of Lisieux and Dorothy Day. Thesetwo women she says lived the ups and downs of dailylife in a spiritual manner. They succeeded in capturingand sharing their religious experiences with others.In her letter to me, she states that “these were holy

women… of whom I consider you one…” and shecontinues…”you have been such a mentor to womenwho strive to be righteous. I often think about thepowerful demeanor you convey through such apeaceful manner. You were touchable yet alwaysrespected. You accomplished so much, changed lives,and taught us all to believe in God and in ourselves.

So often in life people don’t embrace both tenets of a truly authentic being.”Her letter continues: “I desire a journey here that will

ultimately lead to personal transformation and eternalhappiness. I am not seeking a grandiose existence butonly to act as a mere instrument to promote Godlinessin ‘everyday-ness’ to the lives of those I love.”Reading her letter and the way she addressed

“everyday-ness” in her thesis, the word, Faithfulness,came to my mind. This is what we mean by “Faithfulness”… following God day by day, facing the daily ups anddowns in a manner that will touch others and bringthem closer to their Creator.

The past year has blessed the Benedictine Sisters

of Pittsburgh with many Partners of St.Benedict

and other benefactors who have been very generous

in supporting the ministries of the Sisters.

Through their active participation in our outreachto those in need, our donors have assisted the Sistersin educating youth in grade schools, high schools andcollege; serving parishes as parish coordinators, pastoralministers, administrative personnel, RCIA directorsand teachers; caring for the elderly; fostering childrenand serving the needs of the needy in Greene Countyand Phelps, KY; caring for those with special needs,mental challenges, the homeless and those alienatedfrom society. They have assisted the Sisters in promotingthe Benedictine values of stewardship, peace and justicein Western Pennsylvania and Kentucky. Our Partnersof St. Benedict and benefactors have reached out inservice to the hundreds of individuals who are servedby the Benedictine Sisters.Throughout the year, donors have responded to

our appeals with enthusiasm and support. They havecontributed $418,552.50 in outright donations andmany thousands of dollars in in-kind and donated itemsand services.

Without such generosity, the Benedictine Sisters

of Pittsburgh would not be able to continue to

carry out our ministry to those who are in need.

Without them, the Sisters would not be able to

adequately give witness to the Word of the

Gospel message or the Rule of St. Benedict.

The Gifts of 2007-2008

Monastic Women with Discerning Hearts

“The ancient rabbis said that anyone who enjoysthe pleasures of this earth without a blessing is athief! … This sense of gratitude should find expressionnot only in our celebration of the Mass, the liturgy of thanksgiving, but also in our awareness of such common gifts as the sunrise, a new pair of shoes, or even a hot shower!

To pronounce a blessing prayer is to be remindedthat we are, today, in the middle of the divine flowof gifts. The mystery of God’s love for us is allaround us, alive and dynamic.”

(Edward Hays)

As a part of a Community Meeting prior toThanksgiving, the Sisters gathered to pray for all ofthe blessings that they experienced individually andcommunally during the previous year. Since this issue of BENEDICTINES lists all of our

donors and the blessings that they have gifted us withthe past year, we thought that you might like to read asampling of the gratitude papers written by our Sisters.

• I am grateful “for the challenges and opportunitiesto be the ‘Glory of God.’”

• I am grateful for Community Members who areloving, caring and reliable.

• I am grateful for the support my Sisters in community give me each day. This, in turn,reminds me of my responsibility to be a joyfulinfluence for them.

• I am grateful for our Liturgical life because itdraws us closer as a Community.

• I am ever grateful for our Community Prayer. It is what initially drew me to enter … and it isthe ‘glue’ that keeps us who we are.

I am thankful • For various ministries• For daily prayer and Eucharist• For the people who guided me, supported me, affirmed me and helped me to grow

• For warm smiles, kind words• For the love and support I receive from community• For food, shelter and clothing• For the opportunities of service that have been givento me throughout my years in Community

• For my parents, family and friends

• For challenges and transitions

• For material needs and comforts

• For the example of loving service from community members

• For being able to assist others• For those who are gifts to us and share their blessings

The prayer service ended with these words read together:

“May our giftedness always help us remember those who have less.

May our comforts always help us remember those who are suffering.

May our wants always be distinguished from our needs.

May we live always with an attitude of appreciation, rather than an attitude of entitlement.

May we live with open hearts, receive with open hands, and pass our blessings on to others everyday.

May we begin and end each day with hearts overflowing with thanks.

Prayers of GratitudeSisters join in a service of Thanksgiving in theMonastery dining room.

Fr. William Fay, MonasteryChaplain, raises the Word for the congregation to seebefore proclaiming theGospel. The Eucharist is themain liturgical celebration ofthanksgiving and gratitudefor the Benedictine Sisters.
