When I moved from 12 years of parish ministry in Newfoundland to Kingston, my thoughts were on what shall I do now? As I explored the city the word that was always on my mind was “Periphery.” One afternoon my attention was drawn to a very large campus with beautiful grounds, a striking array of buildings, topped with a majestic red dome. It all reminded me of Disneyland. I concluded that it was a Theme Park. I awaited its opening, only to be informed it was one of the five prisons within the city. That was a shock, yet gradually the realization came... here lies the periphery for me.
We are happy to announce that beginning on July 1, 2019:
Maria Cabello-Vazquez will serve as Co-Coordinator of the Associate Relationship for a three-year term. She brings a profound relationship with Marguerite Bourgeoys and apparently boundless energy. Donna Wuhrer will continue as Co-Coordinator, as will Joan Mahoney (until June 2020).
Jaculyn Hanrahan, CND will serve as Coordinator of Peace and Justice for a three-year term, with the hope of being joined by a Co-Coordinator next year. Jackie has been active in advocacy, research, and networking with regard to environmental and economic justice in rural Virginia for many years. She will be expanding her scope to all the areas where Associates and Sisters reside.
We are very grateful to both of these generous and talented women.
