Corazón turns 10: What your support provides via this SSND ministry

Corazón a Corazón celebrated its 10th anniversary with an Open House celebration in April. Sponsored by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, Corazón has, over its first decade, gradually adapted its program to the needs of its students in South Shore’s St. Michael’s parish—now using the Rosetta Stone program in providing English as a Second Language classes for Hispanic men and women, conducting an After-School Program, primarily for African-American students K-8th grade and a Summer Achievement Camp for African-American and Hispanic students. These programs provide a respite from urban life’s challenges and help students of every age gain strategies for living peacefully in their community.

Corazón has enjoyed a strong A.O.L. connection: Sr. Lucy Giacchetti, SSND (A.O.L. ’50), co-founder and tutor; the late Sr. Helen Joseph Leffner, SSND (A.O.L. principal), tutor; and Sr. Miriam Patrick (Patricia) Cummings, SSND, ’49 (A.O.L. principal), current Board of Directors’ chair. Board members include Mary T. Burke ’72, Therese Smith ’59; Sr. Emily Wollschlager ’59; Rita Zambon, (formerly Sr. Mary Ann Josephe, SSND,

an A.O.L. teacher in the ’60s); and Sr. Joan O’Connell, SSND ’50 (former A.O.L. teacher), treasurer. Among volunteer tutors: Nina Garrison ’83, Shirley Blount ’86 and Dinavia Griffin ’91. More volunteers are needed. Training is provided.

Sister Loretta Rosendale, SSND, Corazón’s executive director, is grateful for your generous support and hopes it will continue--allowing the program to grow. One long-range goal is a program for Hispanic pre-school children and their mothers to learn to speak English. The mothers would also learn to read and write English. For more information, call: 773-221-0620.

Geraldine Garvey Dite ’37 received red roses as “senior” alumna; a smiling trio represented Longwood Ladies of ‘87; Alumnae president Marge Carroll ’54 and her niece, reunion volunteer Susan Bock Wrzesinski ’63, awaited the raffle drawing.

Congratulations to A.O.L. alumnae among 2013 SSND Jubilarians: Sister Lucy Giacchetti ’50 (60th) and Sister Catherine Sarther ’61 (50th).

1945Sister Gilmary Lemberg, SSND, was among those honored at SisterHouse’s 30th anniversary dinner dance last October. Known affectionately as “Sister Fix-It” among clients of the SSND-sponsored residential substance abuse program for women, Sister Gilmary handled repairs and upkeep of the North Side facility for many years. Also a sculptor and fine artist, Sister Gilmary now lives at Resurrection Life Center in Chicago.

1946An article in the Beverly Review news-paper about the Beverly Theatre Guild’s 50th anniversary mentioned the late Steve Leeder (Ella Stevens ’46). In the BTG’s 1966 production of “The Music Man,” Steve starred as Marian the Librarian—and she also directed the musical. The Guild cel-ebrated its milestone anniversary with a gala in May.

1947In their Christmas letter last December, Vivian Groll Comis and her husband, Bill,

let friends know they have moved from their longtime home in one New Jersey town to a senior community in another. Their home was not damaged by Hurricane Sandy, but they were saddened by the destruction suffered by others in the state, especially on the New Jersey Shore.

1958Noelle Carroll Repetto and her daughter, Mary Jo Viero, were pictured in the Beverly Review newspaper as they prepared toys and other gifts for Operation Christmas Child. Mary Jo is a member of the St. Barnabas Women’s Club, which sent more than 150 gifts to children in underdevel-oped nations.

1962Joan McCarthy Murphy, R.N., Ph.D., director of Women’s Wellness Consultants at Little Company of Mary Hospital, is a sought-after speaker. With more than 30 years’ experience in the health care field, Joan is known for integrating the physical and spiritual aspects of life into a holistic approach to health care. Always lacing her wisdom with wit, Joan gives her talks titles such as “It’s a Wonderful Life: Health, Healing and Laughter.” At LCM’s 2013 “Girls’ Night Out” event on Sept. 25 at the Hilton Oak Lawn Hotel, Joan’s topic will be

“The Gift of Five”—“how to make five min-utes work toward a happier you.”

1967Loretta Eadie-Daniels was retained as a judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County in last November’s election.

Joan Bernhardt Radtke plays vio-lin in the musical ensemble GraceNotes, a group of local area women who enjoy playing music together and sharing it with others. The band got its start as a Celtic group, but now embraces styles that range from 13th Century English to modern folk, show tunes and the Beatles. Throughout the past year, Grace Notes performed in many senior living residences and health-care settings, at church gatherings and private events.

Historian Ellen Skerrett sent the news that the restored National Shrine of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini in the Lincoln Park area includes a portrait of Mother Cabrini painted by Sister Stanisia, SSND, the famed artist who lived and taught at A.O.L for a number of years beginning in 1915 and who in 1929 founded the art department at Mt. Mary College in Milwaukee. The portrait was found in a closet as mementos were collected from the chapel and other areas of Columbus

When will we hear your story? Please let us know your news. We love hearing from you.

Lives well lived1945: Sister Camille Clark (Rose Mary Frances Clark), CHM, 84, died on Christmas Day 2011. At her funeral, another Sister’s tribute outlined Sister Camille’s life. As a member of the Congregation of the Humility of Mary and known for her vivaciousness, Sister Camille taught for years in schools in Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. In the 1970s, after being treated for alcoholism, she gave AA’s program to others, helped establish half-way houses for recovering addicts and worked with sobriety organiza-tions in an effort to save addicts’ lives. In interviews she gave, she said she viewed her advocate’s role as “loving individuals until they could love themselves.”

1950: Carole R. Nolan, 80, died on July 5, 2012. Carole began her career as a Chicago Public Schools science, music and TV production teacher, and beginning in the 1970s developed Chicago’s public radio station WBEZ (95.5 FM) from an underused educational outlet to a lead-ing not-for-profit broadcast entity. At her retirement in the mid-1990s, Carole had served for 25 years as WBEZ/Chicago Public Media’s general manager and chief executive. In accepting one of her many awards, Carole credited her SSND teachers at A.O.L. for their career-shaping guidance. (A full obituary appears at www.AcademyofOurLadyAlumnae.org.)

1960: Betty Ann Rysdon Moebs, 69, died August 29, 2012. With degrees in psychology, early childhood devel-opment and pastoral theology, Betty taught over the years at schools including Mother McAuley High School, Chicago; Sacred Heart Kindergarten and Roncalli High School in Indianapolis and Ivy Tech Community College in Columbus, IN. In addition, she served as chaplain of the Marion County Children’s Guardian Home in Indianapolis. She ministered to individuals with HIV/AIDS, terminal illnesses and those grieving the loss of a loved one. An endowed scholarship in her name is planned, the financial aid going to a college student who wants to be a teacher.

1969: Janet Black Malpede, 60, died August 3, 2012. Since 2005 Janet had volunteered with the annual Toys for Tots Motorcycle Parade, which raises money for holi-day gifts for children of disadvantaged families. In 2008 she joined the organization’s board of directors and was named treasurer. Her Chicago Tribune obituary recalled that when an apparent embezzlement of thousands of dol-lars from the organization was discovered in 2011, Janet increased her efforts for donations and more than made up for the loss before Christmas. In her 40 years as a Chicago Board of Education employee, Janet worked her way up from an order taker in one of the district’s supply warehouses to being a data processing coordinator.

“I believe very strongly that education for women is the gateway to self-confidence, professional satisfaction and, most importantly, economic independence.”

Kathleen Therese Meany ’66 expressed this thought dur-ing an interview via e-mail in July. A longtime member of the Board of Commissioners for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD), Kathleen was elected presi-dent of the Board by her fellow commissioners in January.

But long before she began her career with the agency that works to provide a safe water supply for Chicago and other communities, Kathleen carried her books for four years through Longwood’s halls. In the edited Q&A below, she reflects on her experience back in the day.How did A.O.L influence your life?

At A.O.L., respect for our teachers, classmates and our-selves was paramount. Common courtesies and kindness toward others were expected. We didn’t always follow those “golden rules” (thus the sometimes high attendance in the detention hall!), but we always knew where the line was, and didn’t dare to cross it [without consequences]. I believe that the values of self-respect and respect for others are critical not only in our personal lives, but as contributing members of society.Was there a teacher you most admired?

During my senior year, I was fortunate to take Miss Cahill’s course in contemporary history. Miss Cahill exposed me to global political and social issues that influenced my future academic and professional pursuits. She taught us the critical thinking skills necessary to better understand the sweeping societal changes and tumultuous times we were entering.

What’s one thing you remember about the campus?

One of my fondest memories is (playing) the piano (in a Hackman Hall practice room), looking out on the snowy campus, and listen-ing to the sounds of various instruments echoing through the building. It was warm, cozy and very peaceful.Does one memory stand out as historic?

As do many others, I vividly remember the assassination of President Kennedy during my sophomore year. We were at lunch when the news of the shooting went viral through the cafeteria. I went down the hall to the pay phone and called my mother and father to get my bearings. [In our next class period] the announcement came over the PA system that the President had died. I remember everyone crying and asking what would happen to Mrs. Kennedy and the children. School was dismissed early, and we all went home to watch the television news. What advice would you offer to young women with regard to their education and professional choices?

My parents had four daughters who attended Longwood (Mary Lou ’59, Jane ’61, Clare ’65), and they stressed that we needed to be able to support ourselves. They pointed to the example of my grandmother, widowed during the Great Flu Epidemic of 1918 and left to raise three young children. Her life was very difficult, because in 1918 there were few economic opportunities for women. Education provides preparation for life’s challenges, and the faculty at Longwood certainly encour-aged that line of thinking.

Water agency president looks back on her A.O.L. yearsBy Mary R. Wright ’72

Hospital, founded by Mother Cabrini. The hospital closed in 2002 and was razed to make way for construction of a high-rise condominium. As part of the development agreement, the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart retained the shrine and were provided with an outdoor garden and interior space for the shrine offices. Ellen curated the permanent historical instal-lation “From Immigrant to Citizen Saint: Frances Xavier Cabrini in Chicago.” The shrine is located at 2550 N. Lake View Ave., at the base of the new condo tower.

1968Barbara Mickevice Brunka is busy with her management consulting business--but not too busy to enjoy her grandson born in March.

1969Nancy Snyder Ronquillo, CEO of the Chicago-based Children’s Home & Aid, was in Washington, D.C. in February for the Wicked Problems in Child Welfare Institute, a meeting of foundation, state and public child welfare officials, university research-ers and Children’s Home Society of America members. The session focused on assessing the effectiveness of existing child welfare interventions to support safe and permanent homes for children.

1970Susan Tassone’s 2012 book, “Prayers, Promises and Devotions for the Holy Souls in Purgatory,” is her 5th book honoring the Holy Souls in Purgatory. Copies are avail-able from the publishing division of Our Sunday Visitor Inc.

1972Pamela Sherrod Anderson was selected by Kartemquin Films and Community Film Workshop in Chicago to be in its 2013 Diverse Voices in Documentary program. She was among local writers honored at the Chicago Public Library Foundation’s Carl Sandburg Literary Awards in October 2012. Her first feature-length documentary, The Curators of Dixon School, made its debut last August in the Black Harvest International Film Festival in Chicago, received a three-star review from film critic Roger Ebert and the Black Harvest Audience Award for Best Feature. Her film shows how art in the daily lesson plan can change the picture for the better in our schools and our communities (www.cura-torsofdixonschool.com). The Curators of Dixon School continues to show across the country and in Chicago. It was selected for Chicago’s Movies in the Park summer pro-

gram and for neighborhood screenings at public libraries. Pamela, a former Chicago Tribune writer, owns Graceworks Theater and Film Productions

1976After 28 years as a Chicago police officer, Susan Madison Rashad retired as a ser-geant in 2010. She had been a sergeant since 1998. Susan said a number of A.O.L. alumnae serve as Chicago police officers.

1980Actress T’Keyah Crystal Keymah cel-ebrated her 50th birthday with a fundrais-ing concert and party for her elementary school alma mater, St. Sabina Academy, last October. T’Keyah and several class-mates later attended the A.O.L. reunion. T’Keyah also is chair of CHARM, an organi-zation that raises college scholarship funds for young women. Winners of this year’s scholarships were honored at a gala at the Oak Lawn Hilton in July. Among those attending were T’Keyah’s sister, Karen Walker ’78, Natalie Scruggs-Bumpers ’79, Kimberly Allen-Brown ’79, Katrina Allen ’80 and Alethea Poole ’83.

SSNDsSister Anne Mayer (Evangeline), SSND, 106, longtime teacher, social activist and author of “A History of Academy of Our Lady High School,” died on Sept. 9, 2012. Sister Anne was best known for her founding of SisterHouse in 1982. The residential facility on the North Side, which ini-tially served as transitional housing for women coming out of prison, now assists women with substance abuse addictions. Sister Anne, who directed SisterHouse for about 10 years, was in Chicago’s Senior Citizens Hall of Fame.

Sister Olivia Reindl, SSND, 94, died on Oct. 4, 2012. She had lived in Greenfield, WI. Sister Olivia taught math, chemistry and remedial English at A.O.L. from 1950 to 1955. She later earned a Ph.D. in psychology and worked as a teacher and psychologist for many years. In 1987 she became a pastoral minister in Mazomanie, WI, retiring in 2001.

FriendsLeda (Lee) Pitaro, 79, a former A.O.L. teacher, died in October 2012. Ms. Pitaro taught history and religion for a number of years, beginning in the 1950s. A talented musician and always loyal to A.O.L., Ms. Pitaro played the piano for guests at the “Miracle on 95th Street” fundraising party at Willowbrook Ballroom in 1997. Pat Dowd Coffey ’55 described her former colleague as “a Renaissance woman.” Among Ms. Pitaro’s survivors are nieces Dr. Mary Pitaro ’70 and Dr. Natalie Pitaro ’72.

Jack Simmerling, 77, fine artist and owner of the Heritage Gallery in the Beverly neighborhood, died July 18. Prints of Mr. Simmerling’s pen-and-ink drawings of area churches and of A.O.L.’s Administration Building were among popular items sold in the gallery. A great collector of histori-cal artifacts, he was known for being generous with his time and talent with Beverly/Morgan Park neighborhood organizations. 1929Werner, Marie Reiter, mother of Marianne Werner King ’56 and Virginia Werner Devona ’63
