SHM Hosts Benedictine Novices “Benedictine Tools for Monastic Transformation”

was the theme for the annual Novice and Director Insti-

tute (NADI) hosted by Sacred Heart Monastery from

May 21 to 31. Eight Novices and ten Directors came

from Benedictine women’s monasteries from all over

the United States. S. Sharon Ann Haas hosted the event,

assisted by members of the NADI Task Force: Ss. Doris

Oberembt, Marietta Kerkvliet and Maribeth Wentzlaff

of Sacred Heart Monastery and S. Gabriel Marie Oes-

treich of Immaculata Monastery of Norfolk, NE.

Each morning a presenter used a gardening or con-

struction tool as a metaphor for one of the good works

taught by Benedict in Chapter 4, exploring it in terms of

the Sister’s relationship to God, self and others. The

theme was woven throughout the day as various present-

ers from among the Directors and Sisters from Sacred

Heart Monastery gave presentations on Prayer, Images

of Christ in the Rule, Self-Knowledge, Celibacy, Eucha-

rist, Social Media, and the prophetic role of religious life

for our future. The Novices and Directors joined the

Sisters of Sacred Heart Monastery for Mass and Liturgy

of the Hours each day and they had opportunities for

other prayer styles, such as group lectio divina, centering

prayer, tai chi, or praying with imagination. One day

was spent in solitude and prayer; another afternoon, the

women were guided by S. Kathleen Courtney in the cre-

ative process of designing stained glass artwork .

Besides the educational input and the prayer times,

one of the goals for the Institute is for the Novices to get

to know one another and to learn about the Benedictine

world beyond their own monasteries. Each novice told

the others something of the history and traditions of their

own monastery. The Yankton Sisters provided tours not

only of the monastery, but of local points of interest.

Since Benedict believed in moderation and balance, food

and fun were also part of the schedule. On Memorial Day, the women chose between outings to Sioux Falls,

the National Music Museum in Vermillion, to Lewis and Clark Lake, or to relax by the river. Evenings al-

lowed time for games, movies, visiting and creating community among these Sisters for tomorrow.

Above, Ss. Maribeth and Marietta lead off the day

with the introduction of another tool for good

works. Below, left to right, in the back row are

novices Tamra Thomas of St. Benedict’s Monas-

tery, St. Joseph, MN; Elizabeth Farias of St. Scho-

lastica Monastery, Duluth, MN; Susan Elizabeth

Rakers of Our Lady of Grace Monastery, Beech

Grove, IN; and Iowalyn Kandito of Queen of An-

gels Monastery, Liberty, MO; Front row: Paule

Pierre Barbeau of St. Scholastica Monastery, Du-

luth, MN; Agnes Le Doan of Monastery of Our

Lady of the Desert, Blanco, NM; Michelle Renee

St. Marie of Sacred Heart Monastery, Cullman,

AL; and Aica Jo of Mother of God Monastery,

Watertown , SD.

These, then, are the tools of the spiritual craft. Rule of Benedict, Chapter 4:72

Reflections from the Prioress — S. Penny Bingham OSB

Dear Friends,

This past year of drought, which has stricken many parts of our country, has brought me a new appreciation for the gift of moisture. I have come to welcome it in any form, even when it seems an inconvenience to plans, remembering that every drop or flake is a gift from God, helping to replenish the earth’s dried soil and shallow rivers. Because of the dryness, spring came late this year and very slowly. The flower beds on the south side of our monastery, as usual, offered the first gifts of spring with their eager crocuses, and in the garden rhubarb and asparagus carefully poked through the soil. Then suddenly it turned hot one day and, amazingly, the newborn green of spring erupted overnight in lawns and in some trees and bushes. Gradually, trees on a slower schedule displayed their new leaves. Sadly, there are some bushes and trees that seem not to have survived the drought. As I walk our campus, I keep watch on these bare friends, hoping that they are just more timid this year and that the resilient life force within will soon emerge, if only

I wait patiently. Time will tell, and dying is part of life.

Religious life in our country may also appear drought-stricken, with a small number of new members and with overall declining numbers. Although there are rational explanations for this – including the fact that the great surge in religious vocations in the mid-20th century was really an exception – it can still feel as though we are in a drought. Many of our communities might seem like those bare trees, with observers questioning the resilient life within. New signs of life are most welcome, as we receive a new postulant, as we celebrate the first profession of a Sister, or as we respond to the questions of women who are seriously seeking to understand religious life as something to which God

might be calling them.

Here at Sacred Heart Monastery we have had the joy of hosting the Novices and Directors Institute, as you will read about in this issue. These participants are great signs of hope and new life, as novices continue to seriously con-sider their call and commitment to this monastic life, and as directors remain grounded and growing in this life, wisely mentoring those new to it. In our chapel, their voices and energy add to our own; there is an increased level of laugh-ter and of conversation as they join us for meals; there is a general infusion of enthusiasm. It is great to participate in this mutually renewing time. It is an important reminder – though it may be evolving in new ways and though there may be some forms of it that do not last – that religious life remains alive and resilient and responsive to the needs of our time. Our God is the source of life and love who provides for our needs – in times of

drought and in times of moisture. We trust in you, O faithful God.

For their annual conference in February, fifty Benedictine Prioresses of the US, Cana-da, and Mexico gathered at a retreat center near Tucson, AZ. Responding to the needs of this time, they considered statements on immigration reform and on prevention of gun violence, urgent social issues affecting us all. The prior-esses approved both statements in an effort to add their voices to those of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, calling for needed reform. These soon will be available on our monas-tery website (http://www.yanktonbenedictines.org/SHM_News_Home.html); I encourage you to read these state-

ments and consider them prayerfully as you respond to the needs of our day.

May your summer days be blessed, and may you savor all that our loving God provides.

farm against her older brother Jim. During high school, her ca-

reer goal was to become a phys. ed. teacher, but she was also

“haunted” by the thought of becoming a religious sister. “The

seed had been planted early by the sisters I had at St. Mary’s

grade and high school.” Although money was an issue, her par-

ents supported her plan of attending Mount Marty College.

Meanwhile, “God continued to be in my face so I took the

bait and entered Sacred Heart Monastery my senior year.” After

making first Monastic Profession in 1975, S. Joyce taught and

coached in Lincoln, NE, Sioux Falls, SD, Yankton, SD, worked

as Activity Director at a Mitchell, SD nursing facility and in the

business office for the Sioux Falls Catholic School System. Be-

cause knee problems limited her activity, she also pursued a

business major at Mount Marty College and an MBA from the

University of Sioux Falls (1999). Coming full circle S. Joyce

returned to Mount Marty to work in the Student Affairs office

for 9 years, and is now Director of Maintenance and Housekeep-

ing at the Monastery.

A Sister in an athletic Hall of Fame? Not

our usual stereotype. But that’s the life of

S. Joyce Feterl! S. Joyce was one of 5 indi-

viduals inducted into the Mount Marty Col-

lege Athletic Hall of Fame in 1985, the first

year that the Hall of Fame was opened. S.

Joyce was a member of the first women's

basketball and volleyball teams, participating

from 1970-1974. She led the team to a state

championship and a 15-4 record in 1972.

She also participated in field hockey and

softball and was voted team captain in each

of the sports during her career. Now in 2013,

the 1972 Lancerette Volleyball team, of

which S. Joyce was a member, was inducted

40 years after they won the South Dakota

State Volleyball Championships.

Knowing every player’s moves was

their key to success. S. Joyce recalls, “In

1972-73, we played for the state volleyball

championship – we had to beat South Dako-

ta State University twice for the champion-

ship — the first major state title in Mount

Marty history. It was like David and Goli-

ath. But we were strong, had desire and

were too naïve to have an attitude.”

S. Joyce grew up on a farm near Salem,

SD, with her parents, a sister and two broth-

ers. Since this was before Title 9 mandated

opportunities for women in school athletics,

S. Joyce did her earliest training out on the

Team Inducted into

So, what do sports and Monastic life have in common?

St. Paul tells us to run the good race. St. Benedict tells us to run to the Kingdom by doing good deeds. S. Joyce says that religious life is a lot like athletics:

You build on your fundamentals (faith). You learn, practice and develop your skills

daily (work and prayer). You condition and build up your strength

(conversion and endurance). You need to have a desire and fire in your

belly (hope) so you are ready for that oppo-nent whoever or whatever it may be.

With the help of your teammates (your Sis-ters) you achieve your goal.

Jubilee is a time to celebrate the God who remains present as the Sister-Jubilarians continue to listen and grow and walk in faith. Coincidently, both our Golden and Silver Jubilarians chose images from nature to express this journey.

Jubilarians Celebrate God’s Call to Growth

Sister Marlene Stetz Born at Genoa, Nebraska on July 20, 1942, S. Marlene Stetz (baptized Carolyn

Jean) was the fifth of six children of Francis and Marian Stetz. She grew up on a

farm between Genoa and St. Edward, where the faith of her parents planted the seeds

of a vocation to religious life in Carolyn and her brother Eugene, now Fr. Allan of

Conception Abbey in Missouri.

She graduated from Genoa High School in 1960. During her freshmen year at

Mount Marty College, she was attracted by the prayer of the Sisters, especially the

daily Mass, and made the decision to enter Sacred Heart Monastery. She made first

profession in 1963. Continuing her education at Mount Marty, she received her B.

A. in Elementary Education in 1965, and made perpetual monastic profession in

1968. She taught in elementary and junior high classrooms in NE and SD.

After teaching 18 years she began working in computer technology, serving

Mount Marty College, Madonna Rehabilitation Center in Lincoln, NE, and the Diocese of Sioux Falls, SD. More

recently, from 2002 to 2011, S. Marlene worked two part-time positions, as a Nurse Aide in Parkston, SD, and in

Pastoral Care at Avera Brady Health & Rehabilitation in Mitchell, SD. Presently she is working as a companion to

the elderly for the agency Joy in the Journey in Omaha.

As S. Marlene reflects on her experience of Jubilee, she recalls that “St. Benedict described his Rule as ‘a rule

for beginners.’ Even religious who have been following the Rule for decades find new life and challenge in it.

People have been living this little rule for centuries. I am grateful to be part of this 1500 year tradition of ‘the Rule

for beginners’ and that I am celebrating these 50 years with my sisters of Sacred Heart Monastery in Yankton,

South Dakota.”

Sister Michaeleen Muhovich S. Michaeleen Muhovich was born on December 25, 1943 in Del Norte, Colo-

rado and was baptized as Mary Michaele. Her only sister died at birth, so she was

an “only child.” She attended school in Center, Colorado until the spring of 1951,

when her family moved to Pueblo, Colorado. “Though not well-educated in a for-

mal way,” she says, “my parents loved learning and encouraged me to explore my

many and varied interests. When I told my parents that I wanted to be a nun, they

gave me their blessing, even though that meant they would never be grandparents.”

Feeling called to the Benedictine way of life, hospital ministry drew her to Sa-

cred Heart in Yankton, where S. Michaeleen made First Monastic Profession in

1963 and Perpetual Profession in 1969. She received her B.S. in Med Tech in 1966

from Mount Marty College and a Master’s from the Medical College of Virginia in

1973. She enjoyed work as a Med Tech in hospitals in Parkston, Yankton and Canon City, CO and teaching at

Mount Marty College. In 1981, she began study in psychology culminating in a Ph. D from St. Louis University in

1990, and was licensed as a psychologist in 1991. She took a position at Benedictine Family Services from 1989 –

1991 and then ministered 3 years at SD Human Services Center. From 1994 to 2005, she worked at Heartland Psy-

chological Services. A hearing loss forced her to leave the field of psychology. In subsequent years, S. Michaeleen

has been working in Information Technology at the monastery.

Her hobbies include “birding” and photography as she finds the presence of God in nature. Reflecting on her

Golden Jubilee, she says, “As I approach my 50th year of vowed life, I am filled with profound gratitude that, first

of all, God led me to Sacred Heart Monastery, filled with living legends of holiness, humor, and happiness; and

then graced my life with so many other good people who have contributed to the rich tapestry of my life.”

Ss. Michaeleen and Marlene see in their lives the constancy amid the changes of the Missouri River just down from the Monastery. Ss. Denette and Lynn look to the trees as they see themselves planted and rooted in this community, pruned and still growing, and now recommitting themselves to stability in the holy ground of Sacred Heart Monastery.

Sister Lynn Osika Born in Harvey, IL, in 1957 to Louis and Rose Osika, Sister Lynn Osika was an

only child but had many cousins and friends. After graduating from Marian High

School in Chicago Heights, she studied forestry at Michigan Tech University in

Houghton and then Range Management at University of Wyoming in Laramie. S.

Lynn worked as an agricultural researcher for the Kansas Rural Center (Whiting,

KS) and later served as a volunteer in Kansas City, working in a Catholic Worker

House in Kansas City, MO and running a Community Garden Project at Seton Cen-

ter, a parish neighborhood center serving the poor of inner Kansas City. Serving the

poor and stewarding God’s creation have always been important to her.

S. Lynn entered Mother of God Monastery in Watertown, SD and made first mo-

nastic profession in 1988 and perpetual monastic profession in 1992. She took care

of the monastery grounds and assisted in the business office at Harmony Hill Center.

After receiving a Master’s degree in library science from the University of Missouri in Columbia in 1993, she

worked as librarian in Watertown and from 1997-2010 in the Brookings, SD, Public Library.

In 2010 she returned to Watertown to serve as the monastery archivist, and in 2011 moved to Sacred Heart

Monastery in Yankton, SD to discern a transfer to this community. In Yankton she volunteered in Mount Marty

College library, worked at Yankton Community Library, and taught a Wisdom of Benedict class at MMC. Cur-

rently she ministers at the monastery by driving for the care center, and working in the Monastery Library. Com-

menting on community living at this time of jubilee, she says, “I treasure and need our times of prayer and the

common life as much as I need breathing and eating. It has helped me become a whole person.”

Sister Denette Leifeld Denette Marie Leifeld was born on March 17, 1960 at Neligh, Nebraska, the

daughter of Dolores (Leifeld) Lingren and the late Jerome Leifeld. Growing up on

a farm southeast of Petersburg, Nebraska, playing in the woods outside their

house, exploring the hills, and herding cattle, she dreamed and wondered about

God.

S. Denette attended District #56 for kindergarten, then St. John the Baptist

Grade School and Pope John XXIII High School, Elgin, NE, graduating in 1978.

Music was a big part of her school days, accompanying various musical groups

and the annual high school musicals. She attended Mount Marty College and grad-

uated with a BA degree in accounting and business administration. Later she ob-

tained an MBA from the University of South Dakota. From 1982 - 1986, she

worked as an auditor for the US Department of Agriculture, Office of Inspector

General. During this time she made annual retreats at the Monastery and felt called to enter Sacred Heart Monas-

tery in 1986. She made her first monastic profession in 1988 and final monastic profession in 1991.

S. Denette continues to use her talents and training as accountant in the Monastery Business Office, for the Fed-

eration of St Gertrude, and for the regional Conference of Religious Treasurers. She also is accompanist at litur-

gies, Council member for Sacred Heart Monastery, and has served as board member for various health care spon-

sored facilities, for United Way in Yankton, SD and is a member of the Residents Encounter Christ (REC) Renew-

al Team for Mike Durfee Prison in Springfield, SD. Reflecting on community, prayer and work, Sr. Denette says,

“Within community I celebrate life and the sisters call me to growth and to become more. Through liturgy of the

hours and my own lectio my relationship with God and others deepens. In my ministry, I see the face of God.”

After twenty plus years in campus ministry, S.

Rosemarie Maly, Director of the Catholic Newman

Center at the University of Nebraska-Kearney, is

convinced that “the foundation of this ministry is to

provide a 'home away from home' for the students

while they attend college, a place where they belong

and feel connected, where they find support and are

challenged to grow as persons and in their faith."

The success of her work in building up the students

was evident when the UN-K Newman Center won a

nationwide “Semester of Faith” social storytelling

campaign with a video produced by the center’s stu-

dent ministry council. The campaign was sponsored

by Catholic Extension, with the aim of having cam-

pus ministry groups “share, celebrate and amplify the

good news in Catholic campus ministry” To view

the video, go to their website: newman-

center.unk.edu, scroll to Video about our ministries

and enjoy!

As the first place choice, the Newman Center will

receive a $1,000 grant for their campus ministry and

be featured in the Catholic Extension national maga-

zine. Also, four students and S. Rosemarie will have

their expenses paid to the Campus Ministry Leader-

ship Institute's national conference in Mobile, Ala-

bama, in June.

"This is an exciting opportunity for our Newman

Center as well as for the four students who will at-

tend the leadership institute. I am so grateful for all

who supported us during the contest, for all the sup-

port we receive on a daily basis and especially for all

the students who are actively involved in the New-

man Center and who are the Good News that we

share," said S. Rosemarie.

and received the name Rachel. She made her first profes-

sion on June 24, 1937 and made her final profession on

reer she taught all grades from second to eighth grade. Af-

ter leaving education, she served as the Sacristan for Bish-

op Marty Memorial Chapel for a number of years. This

ministry gave her extra time for prayer and she offered

hospitality to visitors to the Chapel.

S. Rachel was a woman with a ready smile and kind

nature. She collected jokes and loved sharing them with

others. She summed up her life of religious commitment

with these words: Behold—What I longed for I now see!

sion. Born with a physical disability, she never wavered in

her enthusiasm to live an active life though her life was

marked by surgeries. She was also very devoted to her fami-

ly and her home parish, St. Joseph’s, Huntimer, SD.
