| Summary: | This book is a compilation of stories witnessing the lives of the Sisters of Saint Agnes who were imbued with the missionary spirit of their founder Mother Agnes Hazotte. Mother Agnes was known for her courageous initiatives and pioneering spirit. The reader will find that the memories of mission work by Sisters of Saint Agnes, who have shared life, love and service in Nicaragua, Ecuador, Honduras and Russia, allow a glimpse into the creation of community across extraordinary boundaries of geography and culture. A beginning missionary experience involved several sisters setting up a medical clinic along the Rio Coco on the Atlantic Coast in Waspam, Nicaragua, for the indigenous Miskito Indians -- with a couple of bottles of aspirin, some quinine and a few other supplies -- while also starting a Catholic elementary school. A more recent response found sisters travelling across 16 time zones at the request of a Catholic bishop to serve as educators and pastoral workers for the German/Russian Catholic remnant in Chelyabinsk, Siberia, Russia, after the breakup of the Soviet Union. The bishop was of German/Russian descent and he appealed to CSA members from Ellis County, Kansas, who shared a similar heritage God's way-not my way / Sister Rosa Ines Silva -- Marta / Sister Zorelia Chavarria -- Youth leaders in the making / Sister Anabel Torres -- Activist for the poor / Sister Colette Hartman -- A split-second difference / Sister Bertha Bumann -- Missionary among my own / Sister Zorelia Chavarria -- No time for dancing / Sister Celia Fernandez -- Laura / Sister Deydamia de Fatima Ruiz -- One woman's trust in God / Sister Susan Seeby -- New initiative / Sister Dulce Maria Rodriguez -- I first saw Managua / Sister Regina Anhalt -- Responding in faith / Sister Maria del Carmen Avendano -- Glimpses of Nicaraguan culture / Sister Miriam Therese Putzer -- MAN BALRAM ("you came!) / Sister Anne Jude Van Lanen -- What i do matters / Sister Rose Kowalski -- Living with little / Sister Imelda Salazar -- Ministry of mercy / Sister Mirna Alvarado -- Santa Clara-1983 / Sister Patricia Hayes -- Let the little children come / Sister Esperanza Rico -- Rafting on the Rio Coco / Sister Regina Anhalt -- "Sister, you need to go home" / Sister Eileen Mahony -- Divine intervention / Sister Jomarie Zielke -- A journey with the sorrowful mother / Sister Caryl Hartjes -- Faith and holy water / Sister Anne Jude Van Lanen -- A journey back / Sister Marilyn Ellickson -- "Seeds planted ... will flower again" / Sister Petrona Herrera -- New venture in education / Sister Katie Schilling -- Paying it forward-transforming lives / Sister Ann McKean --Also among the needy / Sister Marise Meis -- I carry a dream / Sister Francis Sanchez -- Revolution in Rosita / Sister Marise Meis -- Music in the air / Sister Cecelia Schlaefer -- Missionary memories / Sister Janet Ahler -- Brunhilda / Sister Lael Niblick -- Blessed by those we serve / Sister Guadalupe Aguilar -- Child-worker: the boy with the rubber boots / Sister Guadalupe Aguilar -- The women of La Ceiba / Sister Vivian Schmidtberger -- Soccer mom! / Sister Ines Lezama -- Missionary memories / Sister Janet Ahler -- Pioneering spirit / Sister Paulette Shaw -- Miracle of life on "the baby barge" / Sister Dolores Taddy -- Blessed Irina / Sister Alice Ann Pfeifer -- Soul of Russia / Sister Lucy Ann Wasinger -- A day of faith / Sister Mary Ann Schippers -- New springtime / Sister Deborah Golias -- My son lives / Sister Mary Elise Leiker -- A story of forgiveness / Sister Deborah Golias -- The regions we have served -- Acknowledgments and photo identification -- Russia |
