Dear All in the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
i would ask - beg, prostate myself before you ... that you pray with all your hearts for an extremely dear friend who has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Don't know all the details but it is never good and hard to find someone more deserving of being cured. Has started and chaired numerous charitable organizations - is extremely generous with his time and money. Like Teresa of Avila, i am begging the good Lord not to take one of the good ones.
Thank you all and best wishes for a happy and holy Christmas.

He attended Queen of All Saints grammar school, Quigley Preparatory Seminary (1970) and Fairfield University, CT (1974). He earned his MBA from Northwestern University in 1978.

He was recruited to manage the Chicago branch of Standard Chartered , a British Bank in 1984 and soon became Senior Vice President and Regional Manager. Four years later he was tapped to manage the entire U.S. corporate banking business for Standard Chartered. In 1991 he was promoted to CEO of Standard Chartered's South Korean and Indonesian businesses. He and his family spent two and a half years in South Korea and eighteen months in Indonesia. Mr. Hasten joined Mercantile Bancorp, St. Louis in 1995 as president of its lead bank in St. Louis and of corporate banking system-wide.

As we work, hope and pray for the more complete inclusion of women in partnership positions with men on this Earth, in order to achieve more balance in individuals, places and groups, help us to "be the change that we want to bring about." In particular, let those of us who have been fortunate to receive education in the schools and serving places of the Religious of the Society of the Sacred Heart be mindful of the admonition of the Founder to commit ourselves to grow "Deeper in Wisdom and Wider in Charity."
Also, let us be mindful, without self-pity or rancour, that millenia of oppression and warfare have left deep marks on the souls of all women and men as we have internalized the opinions and edicts of oppressors. Help us find the strength we need to move away from any acts which illustrate the research in the book by Dr. Phyllis Chesler, WOMAN'S INHUMANITY TO WOMAN. Especially, let us show our gratitude for the training and resources we have received by "tending and befriending" our sisters, lay and religious, in Sacred Heart schools, alumnae/i associations, convents or in any locations.

Mariann Fagan Fitzgerald - WA '44, BC '48
Mariann (Margaret Mary) Fagan Fitzgerald, 83, passed away on the August 22, 2011, at her residence in Naperville, surrounded by her loving family. She was the daughter of Elizabeth (Elsie) (Gallagher) and James R. Fagan, long-time residents of Joliet and Chicago. Mariann was born in Joliet on September 25, 1927, where she resided until moving to Naperville. She was a devoted and cherished member of St. Raymond Nonnatus and St. Jude's in Joliet, and Our Lady of Mercy in Aurora since 2000. Mariann graduated from Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart High School in Lake Forest, IL, in 1944, and continued her education at Barat College in Lake Forest, where she majored in psychology and education, and graduated in 1948. While at Barat, Mariann became actively involved in the French, ski and golf clubs. Mariann possessed a deep love of life and a relentless passion for learning through her entire career, which started with her work for several years for Bishop Romeo Blanchette in the Joliet Diocese Chancery office. She then embarked on a wonderful teaching journey, beginning in the Joliet School District and then molding third and fourth graders for 18 years in the Troy School District until retiring in 1988. Blessed with an indomitable positive Irish sprit, an unwavering Catholic faith and a wonderfully dry sense of humor, Mariann fully committed her life to her family. Whether spending time with her parents, sharing laughs with her sister or enjoying time with her children, Mariann always kept focus on the importance of family. She adored having her family together on Christmas Eve. While the menu never varied, her love and laughter increased year after year. She opened her door freely to old and new friends, always finding a place at her table for those that sought to join her family. Celebrating birthdays became an additional opportunity to share her love - celebrations that brought her an immense amount of joy and tightened Mariann's connection to her family in an unbreakable bond. Mariann's complete selflessness, wisdom, devotion to others and spirit of giving was infectious, making everyone she touched better for having known her. During her retirement, Mariann thoroughly enjoyed traveling. Annual trips to Siesta Key, FL, were a highlight - walking on the beach, reading a novel and keeping an eye on the clock for happy hour. Even her travels became a focal point for her devotion to her family as opportunities to give more of herself. She traveled to Cypress and the Greek isles for a wedding with her devoted sister and best friend, Rosann, made several trips to Colorado to visit her daughter Aimee and son-in-law Dean, and enjoyed the beaches of Kauai with her son John's family. In 1996, Mariann and her sister took their families to Ireland - a trip that included visits to relatives in County Westmeath, and to Cobh, County Cork, from where Mariann's family originally departed for the United States. Continuing Mariann's legacy are her two children Aimee (Dean) Bennett of Castle Rock, CO, and John (Becky) Fagan Fitzgerald of St. Charles, IL; sister Rosann F. Kohler (WA '41, BC'45) of Naperville; and dear nephews Jeff (Kathy) Kohler of Centennial, CO, and James Kohler of Arvada, CO. In addition, her step-granddaughter Olivia Evers, great-niece Allie Kohler and great-nephews Brendan Kohler and James Kohler are blessed with wonderful memories to carry to their families. Her grandson, Padraig Fagan Fitzgerald, the light of wonder for Mariann - who possesses her indomitable positive spirit - will forever be blessed with Mariann's passions for life and learning. Mariann joins her parents, Elsie (1974) and James (1983), and brother-in-law Frank Kohler (1974) in eternal life. A Memorial Mass celebrating Mariann's life will be held on Friday, August 26, at 10:00 a.m. at the Church of St. Jude, 2212 McDonough Street, Joliet, with Reverend Richard Ross officiating. Inurnment to follow at Mt. Olivet Cemetery. The family will greet friends and family at the Church on Friday from 9:00 a.m. until the time of Mass. As it was Mariann's request, cremation rites have been accorded. Go n-éirí on bóthar leat. In lieu of flowers, memorials in her name to the Church of St. Jude are greatly appreciated.

Dear Sacred Heart Alums -
I received an email from Judy Garson, RSCJ who forwarded a message from Cecile Meijer, RSCJ which speaks of the current situation in South Sudan and a call to prayer and action!
In part the email states: "You will note the website (http://www.solidarityssudan.org,) that gives us the opportunity to join with other faith-based groups in putting pressure on governments to act without further delay..... On this site you will find a joint ecumenical statement on Abyei as well as a Novena for Nation Building"
July 9th will mark the emergence of a new state: South Sudan. The novena is to be prayed from June 29, 2011 to July 7, 2011.
I encourage you to pray for peace and for our alums and RSCJ that are currently working in Sudan and the surrounding region.
Respectfully,
Maureen E. Ryan AASH President 2011-2013

Feast of St. Aloysius June 21st
O God, assist our weakness, cast upon us a look of condescension and mercy, in favor of Thy Blessed Confessor, our holy patron, St. Aloysius, who preserved innocence in the midst of the world; practiced austerity, though surrounded with allurements to pleasure; and humility in the bosom of earthly pomp and magnificence; so that, by imitating him, we may pass through the perils around us without receiving any injury. We humbly hope for this favor through Thy Divine assistance, and his gracious intercession. Amen.
Taken from: Special Devotions – Compiled for the Children of the Sacred Heart
On this special feast day of St. Aloysius, let us take a moment to think and pray in gratitude for those that educated us, especially the R.S.C.J.
Love and prayers to all alumnae/i of the Sacred Heart,
