On May 10th we will be celebrating Mother’s Day. As well, the month of May in our Catholic tradition is dedicated to Mary Mother of Jesus and our spiritual mother; so I would like to share a personal reflection on motherhood, linked to our mission at Mont St Joseph.

I believe no matter what our vocation is in life, we are all called to be “life bearers”- giving birth in different ways. As a spiritual care provider and through my vocation as a consecrated sister, I feel I have lived this calling to spiritual motherhood. There are many ways that we can give birth not just in the physical sense.
I see part of my spirituality intimately connected to the call to be like Mary… carrying life within me - the presence of Christ.

When I look at the vision of Mont St Joseph I see that call to motherhood in being “A Welcoming Christian Community Giving Life Meaning”. I have seen this in the two months that I have been here- arms wide open, welcoming all, and giving life in so many diverse ways. That is being a bearer of life! When I deepen MSJ mission, “To give and receive care and compassion for mind, body and spirit based on Catholic ethics and Christian values”, I see the heart of motherhood in that. Mary received and was open to her call that came at the Annunciation when the angel told her she would conceive through the power of the Holy Spirit and give birth to the saviour Jesus Christ. She freely said YES to receive and give birth to the most Compassionate One.

Since my mom’s death in 2023, I feel my relationship with Mary has deepen. She instilled in me a new commitment to the rosary - something that was always a part of my life, but has taken a different direction now that my mom is gone. At the heart of the rosary are the three mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious. Perhaps we can see our lives and the relationships that we have with one another in this light?
Our lives can be beautiful and indeed messy at times. Our relationships with our mother’s and all our family relations, is a beautiful gift, but also complicated, and at times painful. Giving birth to a child I am told is filled with both pain and joy. Because of mom‘s love for the rosary I’ve begun to see all of life reflected in those mysteries. We have sorrowful, joyful and glorious moments and memories in our lives.
This is also at the heart of our Christian faith and the Pascal mystery… death, to new life. It is one mysterious cycle of birth, death and our faith tells us that death is only a new birth into a new life. As we celebrate Mother’s Day may we deepen this mission to welcome, nurture and give birth to compassion, joy, and love in our world, through all the joyful, sorrowful and glorious experiences, that give our life meaning!

This year's theme for National Volunteer's Week is 'Ignite Volunteerism'. Highlighting the importance of sharing the incredible impact that volunteering has on our own communities just like fanning a small spark can flame into a whole fire and looking to re-ignite the culture of volunteerism in our community.

If we could share all the amazing work that our Mont St. Joseph Volunteers do for our Resdients, Home and Foundation then our little spark would ignite the people in our entire community to find a place as special as Mont St. Joseph's to give of their time!

Thank you for all that you do to help make Mont St. Joseph the home that it is for all of us!! Every moment and every minute you give matters!
You are important!

You are honoured!
It is with the most heartfelt gratitude that we thank all of you that share your valuable time serving our Mont St. Joseph family!

For this week's 'Mission Monday' Sr. RéAnne shared with us some incredible links between the work we do here at Mont St. Joseph and what the astronaughts on Artemis II had to say:

Recently I watched an interview with the four astronauts on NASA’s Artemis II moon mission. I never would have thought that what I heard would reflect who we are at Mont St Joseph’s.

(Below is the link where you can hear the entire interview, but here are some highlights of how they articulate some of the ways we live our Mission, Vision, Core Values, Eden Alternative Domains of Well Being)

1. Reid Wiseman (Commander)

- “It’s a special thing to be human and on planet earth”.

- Highlights gratitude and family.

2. Victor Glover (Pilot)

- Thanked God in public at the beginning and wanted to end that way.

- “The gratitude of seeing what we saw, being with who we were with - it’s too big to be in one body…the gratitude to be in this agency together.”

3. Christiana Koch (Mission Specialist)

- Reflected on the difference between a crew and a team:

“Crew - a group in it all the time, no matter what, stroking together every minute with the same purpose, willing to sacrifice silently for each other, holding one another accountable, same cares and needs, beautifully linked.”

- What struck her was the black around the Earth- “That earth was just this lifeboat hanging in the universe…Planet Earth, you are a crew!”

4. Jeremy Hansen (Mission Specialist)

- Highlighted 3 of the human experiences; “It was the human experiences that touched us the most. Sounds like it’s what touched you as well.”

- Gratitude: so much to be grateful for…

- Joy: the joy train… “Committed to getting back on the joy train. This is a useful life skill for any team trying to get something done.”

- Love: “to love contributing, having meaningful contribution, and extracting joy out of that”. With their arms linked standing up together – “We are a mirror reflecting you… If you like what you see, look a little deeper. This is you!”

Mont St Joseph Vision: “A Welcoming Christian Community Giving Life Meaning” (MSJ Family)

Mont St Joseph Mission: “To give and receive care and compassion for mind, body and spirit based on Catholic ethics and Christian values”

Mont St Joseph Core Values:
Hospitality, Spirituality, Compassion, Collaboration, Accountability
The Eden Alternative Domains of Well Being:
Identity, Growth, Autonomy, Security, Connectedness, Meaning, Joy

The astronauts of the Artemis II mission are speaking now for the first time since their historic space mission and successful splashdown back to Earth.–––Su...
