Celebrate 125 years in Spokane<br />
We are Grateful<br />
The diocese is called Nesqually. Statehood is still a year away. Horse-drawn carriages are<br />
the order of the day on downtown streets—what few streets there are. But already, by the<br />
summer of 1888… Jesuit missionaries have planted and nurtured seeds of faith among the<br />
native peoples….<br />
On July 25, 1888, three hot, dusty Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary stepped off the<br />
Northern Pacific train and into the history of Spokane. Father James Rebmann, SJ, Pastor of the<br />
parish, Our Lady of Lourdes…met the travelers. The Sisters of Providence…provided the first<br />
taste of a Spokane welcome, initiating a century of friendship and mutual support. Spokane,<br />
and especially its Jesuit clergy, had been bombarding heaven…for help to meet the evident and<br />
growing need for Christian education….<br />
The first Sisters spent July preparing the building on Main...for living quarters and the school.<br />
On August 28, three more Sisters arrived to round out the faculty and all six spent September 2,<br />
the day before the opening of school, in retreat, asking God’s blessing on the work ahead.<br />
The School of the Holy Names began a full range of educational services underscoring the<br />
charism of the Holy Names Foundress, Blessed Marie-Rose Durocher. She wanted her Sisters to<br />
be “educators in faith” whenever and wherever they would be called.<br />
?<br />
s<br />
July 25 arrivals. The day witnesses the arrival of the Sisters to open the mission of<br />
Spokane. For many years the Jesuits stationed at this place have solicited the<br />
Provincial House of Portland, Oregon to send Sisters but the scarcity of subjects<br />
prevented its acceptation. During the visit of Mother John the Baptist, General<br />
Superior, in February, she with<br />
Sr. Mary Elizabeth, General<br />
Secretary, visited Spokane<br />
and being delighted with the<br />
brilliant prospects for a school<br />
accepted the place and<br />
promised to send some Sisters<br />
from California to aid in<br />
opening the mission.<br />

The Sisters of the Holy Names<br />
stepped off the train in Spokane Falls and were met by Father<br />
Rebmann and his dog, Caro, in his new Bruster-buggy pulled by<br />
Fanny, the horse. They arrived at Our Lady of Lourdes in time for<br />
Mass. As the Sisters and Father were preparing for Mass, curses<br />
reververated through the open church doors.<br />
Fr. Rebmann had left Caro loose outside the church. Fanny<br />
was tied to a telephone pole. Fanny’s lead had slipped down<br />
the pole causing her to try to pull her head up. A man<br />
passing by attempted to help Fanny but Caro was having<br />
none of it. He snapped and bit the man in the leg.<br />
Fr. Rebmann heard the commotion and went out to talk<br />
to the man and tied Caro up to the buggy. The man left.<br />
Father reentered the church to say Mass. But outraged, the man<br />
told a policeman that the dog was rabid. The policeman attempted to shoot<br />
the dog and fired three shots.<br />
The Sisters heard the shots and cried, “O, Lord? To what place have we come?”<br />
The terrified Sisters huddled together in the church pew “waiting for the crown of<br />
martyrdom.” Father raced back to the church door just in time to see the policeman<br />
running after Fanny, the buggy and Caro. Fanny made her way back to her stable.<br />
Caro was hunted down and shot as he tried to escape by jumping in the river.<br />

The Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary is an international congregation of Catholic Women<br />
Religious. Together with Associates, Lay Consecrated and Volunteers, they dedicate themselves to the<br />

[and living quarters]. The last five days have<br />
been busy ones preparing for the blessing of<br />
our school which took place this afternoon.<br />
Rev. [Rebmann] S.J. assisted by Reverend<br />
Father Folchi S.J. performed the beautiful<br />
ceremony. How happy are we to be in our<br />
home and happiness is still more appreciated<br />
from the fact that up to this time we have<br />
been guests [of our friends, the Sisters of<br />
Providence] at the Sacred Heart Hospital.<br />

The Age of Active Wisdom<br />
This article begins a series of profiles that was inspired by Sandra M. Schneiders, IHM’s article,<br />
Ministerial Religious Life Into the Future. She suggests that women Religious are “not in old age but<br />
somewhere in a roughly 25 year period of adulthood two, a period...called...the age of active wisdom...<br />
this...stage of human life is perhaps the richest and potentially most productive period of the human<br />
life cycle.” We wanted to present to you Sisters who represent the ‘age of active wisdom’ who continue<br />
to live out the charism of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary long past what mainstream<br />
America would consider retirement.<br />
Sr. Anne Bosserman, <strong>SNJM</strong> (Corita Mary)<br />
graduated from<br />
HNA, Seattle in<br />
1954 and entered the<br />
Sisters of the Holy<br />
Names of Jesus and<br />
Mary in 1955. She is<br />
an accomplished<br />
musician and taught<br />
music in grade and<br />
high schools. She<br />
spent 16 years in<br />
parish ministry.<br />
Graciousness,<br />
generosity of spirit,<br />
passion and variety<br />
are defining threads<br />
woven into the fabric<br />
of her life as a Sister.<br />
Editor: How do you as a Sister in the ‘age of active<br />
wisdom’ live out the <strong>SNJM</strong> charism?<br />
Sr. Anne: Through a wide variety of volunteer<br />
works I try to live out our <strong>SNJM</strong> charism: The<br />
primacy of the Love of God with emphasis on the<br />
full development of the person with concern and<br />
action toward justice for the poor and marginalized.<br />
Through daily prayer alone and with my Sisters, I<br />
touch into God’s unconditional love. Reading about<br />
other cultures and countries I grow in appreciation<br />
of being a global citizen and the beauty of diversity.<br />
Sharing resources and insights with my Sisters and<br />
others is a wondrous gift.<br />
4.<br />
I partner with my <strong>SNJM</strong> Sisters and Associates and with<br />
lay people in many different fields.<br />
On Mondays I help our renowned artist, Sister Paula<br />
Mary Turnbull, create a diversity of art pieces. I work<br />
with a committee to grant scholarships for music lessons<br />
at Holy Names Music Center. Six times a semester, I<br />
tutor Japanese college students for English conversation.<br />
I did one summer in Vietnam also. These are exceptional<br />
young women who are struggling to learn our difficult<br />
language.<br />
With Religious Sisters from other communities since<br />
2007, we plan Twilight Retreats twice a year for women<br />
18 – 35, sharing the riches of spirituality we have been<br />
blessed with. I also represent the <strong>SNJM</strong>s at the Spokane<br />
Diocesan Vocation meetings which plan events about the<br />
life and ministries of Religious Sisters today.<br />

Our Place Ministries which, currently is run by Sr. Ann<br />
Pizelo, <strong>SNJM</strong>, (Angelo Marie) and <strong>SNJM</strong> Associate Mary<br />
Ann Hartsfield, is an organization that provides food,<br />
clothing, and basic resources. I thoroughly enjoy serving<br />
there once a week.<br />
Pax Christi Spokane and the Spokane Alliance<br />
are organizations that work for the common good<br />
locally and peace and justice actions nationally and<br />
internationally. I gain a lot of energy and hopefully<br />
contribute some of the wisdom of my years.<br />
Editor: How do you see the future of religious life?<br />
Religious life for apostolic Sisters has changed<br />
remarkably since I entered 58 years ago. Since the<br />
early church and through the centuries, women have<br />
joined together to meet the needs of the time. When<br />
the Holy Names Sisters were founded 170 years<br />
ago in Montreal, it addressed basic educational<br />
needs. Though we continue to foster educational<br />
institutions, our Sisters have also moved to address<br />
the needs of the 21st century by educating on<br />
a broader scale.<br />
I believe religious life for Apostolic Sisters<br />
will continue into the future with its changing<br />
ministerial face even as our world changes.<br />
I am proud to be wherever my <strong>SNJM</strong> Sisters<br />
and Associates are promoting justice and<br />
creating community.<br />

Twilight Retreat<br />
original Twilight Retreat content courtesty of the<br />
Inland Register, January 17, <strong>2013</strong><br />
Women Religious of the Spokane area offered a<br />
Twlight Retreat for young woman age 18-35 on<br />
February 15, <strong>2013</strong>.<br />
The retreat offered space and time for prayer,<br />
reflection and an opportunity to share with other<br />
women who share a desire to deepen their<br />
spirituality and discuss topics that are relevant<br />
to their lives.<br />
Some of the participants have also indicated a desire<br />
to speak one-on-one with a Sister to discuss issues<br />
of spirituality, what it’s like to live as a woman<br />
religious, and the Sister’s ministries.<br />
The Sisters of the Holy Names offered Twlight<br />
Retreats at their convent in the St. Francis of Assisi<br />
parish. The retreat began with dinner followed by<br />
an evening of prayer and discussion.<br />
Gonzaga and Whitworth University recent graduates and young<br />
women joined Franciscan, Providence and Holy Names Sisters for<br />
a Twilight Retreat. Sr. Anne back row, far left
CHN Forest Fire, August 2012<br />
excerpted from Spokesman Review, City News, August 13, 2012<br />
Fire aftermath; photos<br />
by Rosemary Fuller.<br />
A brush fire Monday forced the evacuation of a northwest Spokane<br />
convent that serves retired nuns in need of assisted living services.<br />
About 60 people were evacuated from the Convent of the Holy Names<br />
as the brush fire advanced within 100 yards of the structure.<br />
STA buses and ambulances were used to evacuate employees and 36<br />
nuns from the convent...officials said. The convent has a wing that<br />
serves Sisters from around the region in need of nursing services.<br />
Fire crews saturated the area around the convent with water<br />
and a Department of Natural Resources helicopter was called<br />
in to help fight the fire. Between 75 and 100 firefighters<br />
helped contain the approximately five-acre blaze.<br />
?<br />
Far left, Sr. Pat Basel (M. Michael Francis)<br />
and Sr. Joan Christine Von Bank enjoy lunch with two<br />

The Sisters have referred to the fire event<br />
as an adventure, and truly, it was! It was<br />
an adventure into the web of services that<br />
make us so safe in Spokane. Fire fighters,<br />
police, ambulance and bus service, St.<br />
Joseph Residence and the Providence<br />
Sisters, Red Lion River Inn, many friends<br />
and volunteers—all formed a web of<br />
support that can only be part of the<br />
fulfillment of Jesus’ dream “that all<br />
may be One!” We are so grateful to<br />
have lived this adventure!<br />
Sr. Mary Ann Farley, <strong>SNJM</strong>,<br />
Community Director CHN<br />
by Frances Kendrick, <strong>SNJM</strong> (Kenneth Mary)<br />
During the August 13th fire in the convent forest, Sister Celine<br />
Steinberger, <strong>SNJM</strong> (Lorene Therese) Developent Director,<br />
gathered Blessed Marie-Rose medals and Rick Delano, CHN<br />
Director of Strategic Planning, dispersed them around the<br />
grounds during the fire. A number were also given to the fire<br />
fighters.<br />
Recently, fire fighters were invited to a “thank you” lunch at the<br />
convent. Several firemen asked if they, too, could have medals.<br />
6.
We thank Blessed Marie-Rose<br />
for protecting our Sisters,<br />
our home and our forest.<br />
She has protected many people from fires!<br />
Later, at the inspection of the fire site, the line was found where the fire<br />
turned away. At its edge were found three Blessed Marie-Rose medals!<br />
Other evidence of our being watched over might include the condition of the<br />
soil. It is not deeply scorched and plants should be able to rejuvenate easily.<br />
Also, many of the burnt trees are not actually dead and are expected to<br />
recover in a year or two. The flat headed bark borer is already at work on<br />
those that were deeply burnt, a sign of nature’s economy in readying<br />
new uses for wildlife.<br />
The Boy Scouts worked to level the bulldozed<br />
fire breaks and sew native grass seeds<br />
supplied by the Forest<br />
Service. The Forest<br />
Service also offered a<br />
grant to cover half the cost<br />
of removing the dog hair<br />
stands, which are groups of<br />
little saplings which weaken<br />
the larger trees. (If you’ve been<br />
fortunate enough to hike in old<br />
growth forest, you’ll remember<br />
how clear the understory is of<br />
these.) The same saplings are a<br />
real fire danger. They provide fast<br />
and hot burning fuel which ignites<br />
the larger trees.<br />
Department of Natural<br />
Resources Forester,<br />
Guy Giffords, discusses<br />
with Srs. Mary Ann Farley<br />
(M. Angela Therese)<br />
and Anne Herkenrath<br />
(M. Leonore) the state<br />
of the Convent forest<br />
a month after the fire.<br />
The only trees burned to the top in our<br />
fire were those around a dog hair stand.<br />
The cut saplings will be chipped in place,<br />
their wood returning nutrients to the<br />
ground. In a side note, mule deer used<br />
to abound in the old woods of Eastern<br />
Washington. As under growth grew in the<br />
secondary forests, they became replaced<br />
by white deer and are now comparatively<br />
rare. Perhaps our new healthier forest<br />
will contribute to that species survival<br />
here!<br />

of my commitment to theological education.”<br />
