Giving a Hoot: Baby Owl Rescue at Albany Provincial House
Baby Great Horned Owl.
In early February, Lucy, a member of the housekeeping staff, discovered a baby great horned owl beneath a pine tree near Albany Provincial House’s front circle. The Provincial House Administrator Tracy Needham contacted Amanda S., a local wild bird rehabilitator, who identified the owlet as a one- to two-week-old female. Great horned owls begin nesting earlier than most North American birds, and a nest was visible high in a nearby pine.
The baby owl wrapped in a blanket.
Following standard rescue protocol, a milk crate was securely fastened to the tree as a substitute nest for the owlet. We were delighted when the parents accepted this arrangement, moving in and continuing to care for their baby. A trail camera was installed to monitor the owlet’s safety and feeding schedule, capturing regular meals of mice and squirrels, and even documenting an encounter with an intrusive hawk. During this time, we educated ourselves about great horned owls, particularly regarding their development and needs.

On early Friday, March 21, the approximately eight-week-old owlet left the nest. Amanda returned to provide guidance, advising: “Just let her go. She now needs the tree cover of the woods.” Though juvenile owls cannot yet fly well or hunt independently, this ground phase is a normal part of their development. Under our maintenance staff’s watchful supervision, the young owl, now hen-sized, waddled and flapped toward the woods, guided by her parents’ hoots. We’re thankful for our time with this feathered family and the lessons they taught us about our shared ecosystem, and we wish them continued success.

Toad said, “My list tells me that we will go for a walk.”
“All right,” said Frog, “I’m ready.”
Frog and Toad went on a long walk. Then, Toad took the list from his pocket again. He crossed out, “take a walk with Frog.” Just then, there was a strong wind. It blew the list out of Toad’s hand. The list blew high into the air.
“Help!” cried Toad. “My list is blowing away. What will I do without my list?”
“Hurry,” said Frog. “We will run and catch it.”
“No!” shouted Toad. “I cannot do that.”
“Why not?” asked Frog.
“Because,” wailed Toad. “Running after my list is not one of the things that I wrote on my list of things to do!”

Nothing messes with your list like life turning left or going cattywampus! Life is what happens when we are busy making plans.
The theme of God surprising us has been with me for a very long time. I think that God reveals Godself in the unexpected. It’s very important for us to be open to these surprises, whether we perceive them as good or bad. When something doesn’t go as planned, I always say to myself, “Angela, pay attention! Something’s going on here. Somebody else is in charge.”
If you look at the Bible, God surprised people all the time. Moses was surprised by the burning bush, and it was God revealing Godself in that bush. It shows how God uses unassuming things and extraordinary ways to show God’s glory, to show God’s presence. And the birth of Jesus! Nobody expected the Messiah to come in a humble manger. They were expecting royal splendor. Soon, we will celebrate Easter. The ultimate surprise—when life emerges from death! God is always surprising us.
As I was prepping for this talk, I thought about what doors God has opened for me. The doors I have refused to go through and the doors where I was open to whatever God wanted to reveal to me.
Several years ago, when I was leaving Hawai`i, I took a sabbatical. I had my sabbatical all planned out. I was going to a blessing place in Louisiana to work with clay and nourish my creative side. Then, I was going to Notre Dame to study and update my theology.
Being at the blessing place was such a powerful experience, I wanted to stay there. But, I had already made my reservations at Notre Dame and really wanted to experience winter for the first time. Would the blessing place even allow me to continue to stay? Could I ask? Finally, one morning I woke up with the thought, “Just go and do it.”
That was the same thing God said to me when I was trying to decide whether or not to enter religious life. “Just go and do it.” So I asked the blessing place, “Can I stay?” And they said, “Of course.” I canceled the Notre Dame experience and went back to the blessing place in Louisiana.
While I was there on March 19, one of the sisters walked in and said, “Angela, it’s snowing.” I said, “What? You’re kidding, aren’t you.” It never snowed in southern Louisiana in March, but that year, it snowed. To me, that was God’s surprise. “Angela, you wanted to experience winter. Here you go. When you pay attention to what I am calling you to do, I will respond in ways you can’t even imagine.”
More recently, I had a friend in our community who got Alzheimer’s. While she was celebrating her 60th jubilee, she really didn’t know what was happening. I went to visit her with my family, who also knew her. They loved her. They wanted to celebrate her. We had a wonderful celebration.
Afterwards, I took her to her room. She looked at me and said, “Why are you so kind to me?” So I asked her, “Well, why do you think that is?” I figured she’d say, “Because you love me.” Instead, she said, “Because I love you.”
After I finished crying, I thought of St. John’s letter. It’s not that we love God, but it’s that God loves us. God’s love gives us the ability to do anything, even just to be. That was what I had experienced with my friend. Her surprise response revealed God’s love to me.
When you have a surprise—good or not so good—we have three choices. First, we can do nothing. Ignore it, chalk it up to coincidence, consider it meaningless. Second, we can consider it. We can keep it in mind, but not do anything, not let it take us anywhere. We can remain secure in the place where we are. Finally, we can really listen to the message and act. We can try to move forward into whatever it is challenging us to, whatever it is calling us to and move forward into the unknown. We can ask ourselves “Where is this leading me?”
Nothing happens by accident. Look for God’s surprises, how they were revealed to you through people, circumstances or challenges. Are there moments when you have encountered God unexpectedly? How can you cultivate a mindset of openness and trust in God’s plans for you, even when they don’t align with your expectations? Think about it!
February 17, 1928 – April 16, 2025
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Sister Rosemary Endres, CSJ (formerly Sister Anne Michael), who died at Teresian House in Albany, New York, on Wednesday, April 16, 2025.
Sister Rosemary was born on February 17, 1928, in Syracuse, New York, the daughter of Philip Michael and Wilhelmina Ballway Endres. In 1945, she completed her elementary and secondary education at St. Vincent de Paul School. Rosemary entered the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet in Troy, New York. She made first vows in 1952, and she pronounced final vows in August 1959.
Sister Rosemary earned a bachelor’s of science degree in elementary education and pursued graduate study at The College of Saint Rose. Her early years of ministry were in the elementary schools of the Albany Diocese as well as in the schools of the Honolulu Diocese, Hawai`i.
As Schenectady neighborhoods changed, parishes were committed to serving the needs of their neighbors, Sister Rosemary and Sister Joseph, a former teacher in Schenectady schools, were instrumental in helping to shape these responses. They were parish associates, visiting housebound parishioners. Hamilton Hill became the center of their parish/neighborhood service. They not only organized the food pantry and the thrift store, but they also engaged in the “Hill” Neighborhood Association, Police Advisory Center and other parish and community groups. Parish volunteers were trained in working in these agencies as a way of becoming “neighbors helping neighbors.” Sister Rosemary’s 40 years of ministry in the Hamilton Hill neighborhood extended to serving throughout the city to foster a community spirit that has enabled this service to expand and continue. Her life was characterized not only by her deep sense of zeal in ministry but also by a wonderful sense of humor.
Sister Rosemary was predeceased by her parents, Philip and Wilhelmina, and her sisters, Florence and Helen. Her memory is cherished by the Sisters of St. Joseph; her nephews, Charles, Mark and Donald Sinclair; and her nieces, Suzanne Golden, Denise Nolan, Jane Sadlier, Mary Kraushaar, Maureen Kurtz and their families. The Sisters of St. Joseph are grateful for the care she received at St. Joseph Provincial House and the Teresian House Community.
Sister Rosemary’s life will be celebrated in the Chapel of Saint Joseph’s Provincial House in Latham, New York, beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22 with midday prayer at 3:00 p.m. The funeral liturgy will be on Wednesday, April 23 at 10:30 a.m.
Contributions in Sister Rosemary’s memory may be made to the Office of Mission Advancement, St. Joseph’s Provincial House, 385 Watervliet-Shaker Road, Latham, NY 12110 or donate online.
November 22, 1931 – April 4, 2025
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Sister Rose Philippine Hoormann, CSJ, who passed away on April 4, 2025, at Nazareth Living Center in St. Louis. She was 93 years of age.
Sister Rose Philippine, baptized Elizabeth Helen Mary, was born on November 22, 1931, in Florissant, Missouri, to parents Anthony J. and Elizabeth (Derhake) Hoormann. She entered the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet on September 15, 1947, and made her final profession on August 15, 1953. She received a bachelor’s degree in dietetics from Fontbonne College (now University) in 1959.
Sister Rose served as a cook at Nazareth Convent in St. Louis (1950-52) and St. Joseph Industrial School in Keshena, Wisconsin (1952-53). She then served as the dining room manager at the St. Joseph Provincial House in St. Louis for a year.
In 1954, Sister Rose completed her education at the Academy of Our Lady/Spalding, Peoria, Illinois, and continued on to earn her bachelor’s degree in 1959. After a year-long internship at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, Sister Rose began her 26-year ministry as a registered dietitian, serving at St. Joseph Hospital in Kansas City (now St. Joseph Medical Center) (1960-63); St. Joseph Hospital in Augusta, Georgia (1963-73); and at St. Joseph Hospital (now St. Clare Hospital in Fenton, Missouri) in Kirkwood, Missouri (1973-1986).
Sister Rose went on to serve for two years as a certified nurse assistant at St. Joseph Hospital in Kirkwood. From 1988 to 1998, she served her CSJ community at Nazareth Convent/Nazareth Living Center in community service and as a residential care assistant.
From there, she served for four years at St. Joseph’s Academy Convent in St. Louis, first, as the assistant administrator and then as an administrative staff member. Sister Rose then volunteered for a year in the CSJ Care home service.
In 2003, she served in family care for five years, before retiring in 2008. During that time, she was also a volunteer at Nazareth Living Center until 2009.
Since 2009, Sister Rose resided at Nazareth Living Center, where she continued to carry out her mission of prayer and presence.
Sister Rose donated her body to science.
A Memorial Mass will be held on Tuesday, May 6 at 10 a.m. at Nazareth Living Center, 2 Nazareth Lane, St. Louis, MO 63129.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, St. Louis Province, 6400 Minnesota Ave., St. Louis, MO 63111-2899 or donate online.

After years of study on how best to use our Albany Provincial House into the future, the Assembly voted to let go of the Provincial House, given its size and the expense of maintaining it. The province is now in the process of turning the building over to Catholic Charities of the Albany Diocese. The Albany Province Leadership Team did a masterful job of finding new homes that met the retirement and medical needs of the more than 60 sisters living at the Provincial House.
As these moves were being completed, Sister Kate Arseneau, CSJ was asked to put together an inventory of all the furniture, equipment and supplies in the house. When she finished the inventory, the team asked her to find homes for it all. The task was quite the challenge…what could we do with 45 hospital beds, more than 100 regular beds, 150+ dressers, 150+ recliners, etc. etc.?
As Sister Kate made plans for the pickups, the maintenance and housekeeping employees at the Provincial House helped her to move, consolidate and reorganize the items. Her biggest challenge was finding a place to donate the 45 hospital beds, tray tables, Geri Chairs, extensive linens and nightstands. She spent time contacting nonprofits that look for medical supply donations. All she asked of them was to come and pick the items up, knowing that the cost of picking this furniture up was prohibitive.
Finally, she began a relationship with a nonprofit called “Food for the Poor.” In late March, they brought “containers” to the Provincial House to be filled with medical equipment and supplies. They were brought to New York City and placed on a barge ship that will deliver them to Jamaica. This pickup involved an enormous amount of planning to make sure that we used every inch of space in the containers. Sister Kate was thrilled with this contact and more thrilled knowing that our beds and medical equipment are going to very poor people who frequent clinics in Jamaica.
Sister Kate’s next challenge is figuring out what to do with about 3 trillion clothing hangers…
Eco-Challenge for Ecological Conversion: As part of our commitment to Earth via our Laudato Si’ Action Plan, we are inviting everyone who shares in our charism to explore the spiritual call to ecological conversion with us.
In the 1970s, when I was a child in Japan, local shops used paper bags to pack products. At some point, a propaganda campaign began, warning, “If we keep using paper bags, the forests of Southeast Asia will be completely wiped out!” Before long, paper bags were replaced by plastic ones.
Now, 50 years later, we hear people saying, “Plastic harms the environment, so let’s go back to using paper bags!” Yet no one talks about the forests of Southeast Asia anymore. Did we actually protect those forests by switching to plastic? Looking back, I can’t help but wonder—was that campaign just a way to promote the mass production of plastic, which was taking off at the time?
Today, plastic is treated like the villain. Images of vast amounts of plastic waste floating in the ocean, sea turtles suffering from entanglement—these have become symbols of environmental destruction. But is plastic really the problem, or is it how humans use it? Scientists must have known from the start that plastic is difficult to break down in nature and releases harmful gases when burned. Yet mass production was prioritized, and concerns about recycling and disposal were largely ignored. As a result, environmental destruction and health hazards have become critical issues worldwide.
It’s true that plastic has transformed our lives. The shift from glass bottles to PET bottles made containers lighter and easier to transport safely over long distances. Vacuum packaging and freezing technology have extended the shelf life of food. Today, plastic supports much of our daily existence. So isn’t it time we seriously consider how to coexist with it?
What journey will this plastic item in my hand take from here? How will it be recycled? Perhaps we should appreciate and take responsibility for it until the very end. Let’s support the development of biodegradable materials that don’t release harmful substances and research ways to safely process existing plastic waste.
History repeats itself. Who truly benefits from these shifts? This question applies not only to plastic but to our relationship with modern science and technology as a whole. “What do we use, how do we use it, and how do we dispose of it?” These are questions we must each think through and answer for ourselves.
As you reflect on Chizuru’s observations, let it inspire you to take action.
How many single-use plastic items do you use in a day? A month? A year?
How can you take responsibility for the plastic items you consume?
What are you willing to pay for for biodegradable or reusable alternatives—in both money and convenience?
Push yourself to find someone with whom you can share your thoughts about your ecological conversion.
375th Anniversary
The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet join with our fellow Sisters of St. Joseph congregations in celebrating the 375th anniversary of our founding.
In 1650, six ordinary women, under the guidance of Jean Pierre Medaille, SJ, joined together in community under the patronage of St. Joseph in Le Puy-en-Velay, France. These six women had a common desire to grow in their love of God and serve the unmet needs of the people around them, whom they came to call their “dear neighbors.” From their humble beginnings in a small kitchen, the order grew to include communities all over the world.
As a part of our 375th Jubilee Anniversary Celebration, we’ve asked our sisters and charism partners to write blog posts reflecting on integral parts of our history and spirituality, illuminating how these symbols and traditions continue to shape our present and future.
The Heart of the Home
There’s something special about a kitchen. It’s a natural gathering space to talk while you’re cooking or snacking. It’s the origin of scrumptious smells that waft up to your room and entice your tastebuds as you wait for dinner. It’s the place to share your endearing secrets or funny stories over a cup of tea or coffee. It’s often what you picture when you think about “home”.
A Kitchen in Le Puy
Laying the Foundation
When the “Little Design” of Father Jean Pierre Medaille, SJ began to take shape in the mid-1600s, there was only one form of religious life available to women: the cloister. Groups of women had tried to create apostolic congregations, focused on ministry and service to the people of God, but they had been shut down or shut behind the doors of a convent.
Building the foundations of what would become the Sisters of St. Joseph, Father Medaille carefully described a new community of women in service of the dear neighbor. In the Règlements, he wrote: “This association is established to provide for many young women or widows not called to the cloister or who have not the means to enter it, and who, nevertheless, wish to live chastely in the world.”
In 1650, six women of the “Little Design” joined together in community under the patronage of St. Joseph in Le Puy-en-Velay, France. Offering their lives in service to God and the dear neighbor, this religious community devoted themselves to the needs of ordinary people, living among them.
These women had no monastery and no convent but were called to live together in a “common life.” So where did they gather? A kitchen. Living in a common house, the original six sisters cooked, ate, made lace to support themselves and grew together as a congregation in a small kitchen in Le Puy.
By the time of the French Revolution, there were Sisters of St. Joseph in well over 150 communities, concentrated in the dioceses of Le Puy, Lyon, Clermont and Vienne. As the revolution took hold of France, the sisters were harassed and antagonized.
The National Assembly stripped the Church of its material goods and demanded the suppression of all religious orders. In 1793, the Sisters of St. Joseph in Le Puy were expelled from their premises, and their goods were confiscated. This included the Motherhouse where the original kitchen was located. When the building was confiscated, a regiment of soldiers moved in. The soldiers left a lot of damage. After the Revolution, it took 10 years to rebuild the site.
Returning to the Hearth
Thanks to the efforts of Mother St. John Fontbonne and other post-revolution sisters, the Sisters of St. Joseph were able to return to Le Puy and to the kitchen of our founding. In the second half of the 20th century, the sisters made the kitchen a heritage site. Today, the kitchen remains a meaningful symbol of community and sharing for sisters around the world.

Visiting the Kitchen in Le Puy
A profound pilgrimage for those drawn to our charism, we asked Sister Jeanne Marie Gocha, CSJ to reflect on the experience of visiting the kitchen in Le Puy. Here is her reflection:
For a Sister of St. Joseph, the kitchen of Le Puy is a very sacred place. It’s what we think of when we refer to our founding in 1650. The Congregation of the Great Love of God began there as our first six sisters gathered to discuss the presentations of Father Jean Pierre Medaille, SJ. The sisters shared the state of their hearts and the order of the house as they lived into the “Little Design” that Medaille had created with them.
Sister Jeanne Marie Gocha, CSJ
It is from this kitchen that women were sent forth to live and minister with the Dear Neighbor, first in France and then, little by little, all over the globe. The stone walls and wooden floor embraced our very first sisters in the 17th century, and they continue to welcome our sisters and charism partners today.
My first visit to the kitchen in Le Puy was in 2014 with sisters from our province on pilgrimage to Le Puy, Lyon and Paris. Amid the hubbub of daily work at the nursing home, we were standing in front of an ordinary, green door. The door opened, and we were transported into the Kitchen of 1650.
There we were, in the place where our first six sisters—and many more after them—gathered to eat together, relate the adventures of their day, weave their lace, share the state of their hearts. And there I was, in the very same place 364 years later! A sacred presence embraced us as we imagined a fire burning in the hearth and sisters gathered for prayer, meals and lacemaking.
I was lucky enough to visit again in 2016. I sat in this sacred space and prayed for each of my sisters and associates by name, using our directory. What a gift! The memories of being there continue to excite and inspire me today.
We cannot talk about the kitchen in Le Puy without deep gratitude to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Le Puy, now the Institute of the Sisters of St. Joseph. They cared for and preserved the kitchen for over 375 years, almost 4 centuries! Throughout wars and epidemics, renovations and revolutions, the kitchen remains, well-preserved, as a testament to our origins and an inspiration for our future because of the centuries of care given to it by our sisters from the Institute. We are forever grateful!
La hermana Anne Davis compartió esta reflexión durante la misa jubilar de la provincia de Los Ángeles en la fiesta de San José, el 19 de marzo de 2025.
Hay una expresión: “¡Esto no termina hasta que termina!”. Algunos dirán que la vida religiosa ha terminado. Se acabó. Y yo diría que sí, la forma de vida religiosa que se vivía hace 80 años, cuando la Hna. Kathleen Martin [la jubilada más antigua de Los Ángeles en 2025] entró al noviciado, se acabó. Esa forma ya no existe. Pero ¿ha terminado la vida religiosa?… Creo que no. ¿Por qué no? Estamos llamados a reflexionar más profundamente sobre lo que significa todo esto. Este no es nuestro proyecto… se trata de Dios… se trata del deseo y el sueño de Dios para el mundo. La forma de vida religiosa está cambiando, las expresiones y las respuestas están cambiando, pero el deseo y el sueño permanecen.
¿Qué significa esto para nosotros, reunidos hoy aquí para celebrar los Jubileos/aniversarios de compromiso con la vida religiosa en el Día de San José, en este año declarado por el Papa Francisco como “Año del Jubileo… un año de esperanza“?
La expresión “esto no termina hasta que termina” nos abre el espíritu a las sorpresas de Dios. Al reflexionar sobre nuestra vida, ya sea religiosa, matrimonial o de solteros, como Obreros de San José, estoy seguro de que todos podemos decir que nuestras vidas han tenido muchos altibajos y sorpresas a lo largo del camino.
Así fue la vida de José, a quien celebramos y honramos hoy. ¿Por qué nos fijamos en José? Puede que tengamos diferentes respuestas a esta pregunta, pero me centraré en la virtud de la fidelidad. José probablemente planeaba una vida tranquila como carpintero, pero como escuchamos en el Evangelio de hoy, sus planes se desmoronaron rápidamente. Se enteró de que iba a ser padre, tuvo que emprender un largo viaje con su esposa embarazada, el niño Jesús nació en un entorno desfavorable, y entonces recibió el mensaje de Dios de que debía huir con María y Jesús a otro país, donde desconocían el idioma, la cultura, las tradiciones… a una tierra extranjera.
Es en solidaridad con José que, como Hermanas de San José, asociadas, Ohana, Obreras de San José, compañeras en la misión, familiares y amigas, continuamos un camino… un camino de vida en el que nos esforzamos por ser fieles a la escucha de la voz de Dios, su inspiración en nuestras vidas.
Como Hermanas de San José y Asociadas, celebramos el 375.º aniversario de nuestra fundación en Francia. No es poca cosa. Estuve de retiro en Perú en enero y estuve con un grupo de hermanas de otra congregación internacional que sirve en Perú. Me contaron que su congregación se fundó en Francia y con mucho orgullo me dijeron que celebraban su 75.º aniversario. Nos alegramos juntas y les compartí que nosotras también fuimos fundadas en Francia y que este año celebramos un aniversario significativo. Se quedaron atónitas cuando les dije que nuestra congregación celebraba trescientos setenta y cinco años. Ese número, 375 años, permaneció presente en mis oraciones durante el resto del retiro. Dios me decía: “¡Presta atención!”. “Esto no termina hasta que termina”. Es cuando ya no se necesita el carisma ni la misión de una congregación que esta puede concluir que “se acabó”… Amén. Nuestra misión está completa.
La misión de las Hermanas de San José no se ha cumplido. Tenemos un carisma que el mundo necesita desesperadamente (pausa): un carisma de amor unificador.
Como escuchamos en nuestra segunda lectura, la Declaración de Consenso de las Hermanas de San José: Estimuladas por el Espíritu Santo de Amor y receptivas a la inspiración del Espíritu, las Hermanas de San José avanzan siempre hacia un profundo amor a Dios y al prójimo sin distinción. Este es el sueño de Dios, nuestra misión. Estamos invitadas a la oración profunda y a la escucha atenta para que podamos actuar con la confianza de que estamos respondiendo al sueño de Dios. Todos los que estamos aquí en esta capilla (y en la transmisión en vivo) estamos incluidos en este llamado. Necesitamos escuchar y discernir juntos.
Esto no termina hasta que termina. Amen.
