Saint Mary-of-the-Woods now on National RegisterBy Natalie Hoefer Catholic News Service

ST. MARY-OF-THE-WOODS, Ind. (CNS) —When Katie Spanuello Rah-man recalls the campus ofher alma mater, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, shepaints an idyllic picture.

“It was like living in afairy-tale setting, with a mar-ble staircase to ascend to myroom” in Le Fer Residence

Hall, said the 1993 alumna.“I always took great pride inthe castlelike buildings andthe surrounding naturalbeauty of the trees and thereligious shrines on cam-pus.”

Providence Sister DawnTomaszewski, a 1974 alum-na, agrees.

She is now general superi-or of the Sisters of Provi-dence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, who founded the

college almost 180 years ago.“One of the things people

say all the time is, ‘This(property) is a hiddenjewel,’” she noted aboutboth the campus and the sis-ters’ grounds. “But we don’twant it to be hidden.”

Now that jewel is beingheld up for all to see — on anational level.

Last fall, the grounds ofthe college and of the Sistersof Providence were listed on

the National Register of His-toric Places as the SaintMary-of-the-Woods Nation-al Historic District.

The designation recog-nizes the national architec-tural, educational and his-toric contribution of the col-lege and religious congrega-tion, both founded in 1840.

“The status is not justabout the architecture,” Sis-ter Dawn told The Criterion,

Death, a Lenten mirror

I n Acts of the Apostles, St. Paulreveals a hard lesson. He failed toattract people to Jesus when he

kept silent about Christ cruci-fied. He tried to lead with wis-dom and wonders. But peoplemight find these elsewhere.When he changed his startingpoint, the Lord’s suffering anddeath gained Paul a hearingand attracted adherents. HolyWeek focuses on only a fewdays of Jesus’ life, and yet thePassion and Resurrection takeup about a third of Gospelpages.

Let’s remember this as weenter Holy Week. And go astep further. Contemplatingour own suffering and deathmakes Christ more real and relevant tous. Let me skip many steps in myargument, and suggest that we fail inour presentation of the Good Newswhen we gloss over mortality. If weleave out the Catholic Catechism’streatment of “the last things” (num-bers 1020 through 1060), the presenta-

tion of the faith loses integrity and rea-son for being.

Considering our own death pro-vides a mirror that tells uswhat we look like, what wevalue, where we are blessed,and where we miss the mark.Composed hundreds of yearsbefore Christ, Psalm 90 medi-tates on this important theme,including a petition to God atverse 12: “Make us know theshortness of our life that wemay gain wisdom of heart.”

I think that a strong currentin our culture puts off impor-tant decisions because we actas if people are immortal. Imean that we avoid decisionsby leaving them to the next

election cycle or the next generation by“kicking the can down the road.” Oursociety operates as if it is acceptable tolet whole lifetimes pass without reach-ing out to correct needs in health care,education, public safety and opportu-nities to “naturalize” into citizenship.

“The measure that you measure

with will be measured back to you,”says Matthew 7:2. When we do notfeel the vulnerability brought by life’sshort duration, we only deepen thevulnerability and suffering of others. IfI am unable to look squarely at mytemporariness “above the grass,” Ibecome immune to consideringurgency among people who are walledoff from the good things I might opento them.

There is that expression about ourearthly wealth: “You can’t take it withyou.” This may not be true in everysense. When we don’t work for thecommon good, and an equitable shar-ing of life’s benefits and burdens, thenwe can take with us opportunities forimproved health care, education, pub-lic safety and paths to citizenship.Lent, and the wisdom of knowing theshortness of life, can help us leavebehind things that really matter whenwe no longer can use them.

To put it bluntly, it will go better forus if we show up empty handed at theFinal Judgment.

Lafayette diocese welcomes new chief financial officerBy Jesica E. HollingerThe Catholic Moment

LAFAYETTE — He’s beena business owner, an execu-tive and a mayor of Kokomo.Now, it’s time for MattMcKillip to enter a newchapter in his work history— chief financial officer forthe Lafayette diocese.

With a list of prominentcareer positions in his past,including Procter and Gam-ble, Katra and Purdue Uni-versity, McKillip hopes touse his skill set to advancethe strategic mission of thediocese.

McKillip said that hiswork history has helped himlearn and solve fiscal issues,manage projects and leadchange.

“I’ve been blessed withmany great mentors andchallenging problems tosolve and projects to imple-ment,” McKillip said.

“I really cut my teeth infinancial management whenI had to quickly solve a nearbankruptcy and cash flowcrisis I inherited as mayor.

“As a computer technolo-gy manager and businessowner, I had to continuallybalance daily operation withlong-term projects, whichthis position certainlyentails.”

McKillip also believes thecomposition of the diocese(which spans nearly 10,000square miles) will providehim with many opportuni-ties to work with a diversepool of talented people.

“As a director at Purdue, Iinteracted with a verydiverse audience spread

across large geographicalregions, which has made iteasier for me to work effec-tively with people of allbackgrounds and culturesand to in fact thrive on thoseinteractions.”

The decision to leave thesecular world and come towork for the Church is a bigdecision — one that McKilliphad been discerning forsome time.

“For the past few years,I’ve had this deep hunger, ayearning inside to betterserve Christ in the eighthours a day I work,” hesaid.

“I believe we have a greatopportunity to expand thecapacity of our parishes anddiocese so we can all grow inholiness, proclaim theGospel and evangelize in thediocese and beyond.

“As one who feels called, Ijust pray that as the ole say-ing goes, God does not callthe qualified, he qualifies thecalled,” McKillip said.

McKillip’s skills in man-aging both people and pro-

jects, while successfully bal-ancing financial resources,will be an integral part of hiswork for the diocese.

“Effective stewardship inworking with priests, parishstaffs, schools and parish-ioners will empower every-one to bring Christ’s lightand mission to all parts ofthe diocese,” he said.

Gordon Slack, whorecently retired from theposition of chief financialofficer, was well-liked andwell-respected for the newinitiatives he brought to theposition.

McKillip said he is look-ing forward to expanding onSlack’s success and workingcollaboratively to create newprocesses that will benefiteveryone in the diocese.

“I have some good strongshoulders to stand on, giventhe great initiatives my pre-decessor, Gordon Slack,accomplished — his shoeswill be hard to fill,” McKillipsaid.

“However, I feel blessedto have a very talentedDiocesan Finance Council,as well as an engaged andknowledgeable bishop tohelp me with the heavy lift-ing and big decisions,” headded.

The diocesan financialofficer is a canonical posi-tion mandated to adminis-ter the financial affairs ofthe Central Administrationunder the authority of thebishop.

“Together, we’ve alreadyoutlined some areas wherewe can standardize processand make the work of parishstaff and diocesan staff less

tedious and time consum-ing, better serving the peo-ple of the diocese, as weanticipate the changes thatcan impact our parishes andpeople more quickly,”McKillip said.

McKillip said he will beexploring new ways to con-tain costs, and share knowl-edge and resources. Heemphasized that the dio-cese’s programs andfinances make an invaluablecontribution to the vitalityand health of the priests,parishes and people of thediocese.

During Slack’s tenure,increased teamwork andtransparency reduced barri-ers and helped create anenvironment of collabora-tion and teamwork.

“Ultimately, the big prizeis that we have flourishingparishes and a diocese withimpactful ministries thatlead souls to Christ,” McKil-lip said.

He said his own spirituallife will be reflected in howhe approaches and delivershis position as CFO.

“Without a solid faithfoundation, the administra-tion tasks are meaningless,”he said.

“My morning silent con-templative prayer helps mestart each day focused on thefirst things, while my men’sBible study helps me grow infaith, remain rooted inChrist’s love, and bring thatlove into the decisions andprograms of which we are alla part.”

While he’s no caberthrower like his predecessor,Slack, he does have an array

of interests that round outhis financial and spiritualcharacteristics.

McKillip said his expo-sure to other countries andcultures through his previ-ous positions broadened hisworld view.

“Living in Portugal forseven years certainly had animpact on the way I think,eat and live,” McKillip said.

“I’ve come to love interna-tional travel and all thingsinternational ... just last year,our family hosted an Italianexchange student, and thatwas a very enjoyable experi-ence.”

Having strongly consid-ered a career as a veterinari-an, McKillip also has a pas-sion for animals and nature,feeling a connection to Godduring his interactions andoutdoor experiences.

“One of my favorite pas-times is to visit our nationalparks, especially WatertonGlacier International PeacePark, which to me is heavenon earth,” he added.

McKillip and his wife,Heather, have a 9-year-olddaughter, Sara, as well as a12-year-old foster son, Tay-lor.

McKillip’s 87-year-oldmother, Joan, is a large partof their lives, along with hisbrother Mike and sisterSusan, who still live in theKokomo area.

He and his family areparishioners of St. PatrickParish in Kokomo, whereMcKillip serves as a lectorand as an adorer in theEucharistic chapel.

Using Myers-Briggs per-sonality types, participantsfirst learned to define theircharacters, then which typeof prayer might best helpthem determine what Godcreated them to do.

“I think one of the harderthings to do in spiritualityand prayer is to try and dis-cern God’s will for me,”Dugan said. “When we arein line with God’s will, weare at our happiest.”

Alicia Woods, a breakoutsession leader who attendedthe keynote address, said itwas wonderful to learn herpersonality type “that heput together with a spiritualprayer.”

Woods’ presentationtopic was “Um, I’mCatholic: Being a Disciple atWork and in the Communi-ty.” She invited discourse onwhat it means to be aCatholic when facing whatshe called the greatest prob-lem of the 21st century:indifference.

“The discussion was veryhelpful to all of us and Ali-cia cited many Scripturepassages that strengthenour defense,” Arrivo said,explaining how Woodstaught about being “faithfulfoot soldiers” of Catholi-cism in the secular world.

Father Tom Metzger, pas-tor of Our Lady of GraceParish, celebrated Mass aswell as presented a break-out session on discernment.

He cautioned retreatants

against “consulting theBible as a tool to finding theanswer” since reading it is“about growing intoChrist.”

“We think of a sign as

something that over-whelms,” he said. “We wantthe voice, we want the angel... the sign is not proof; it isan invitation to faith.”

Jane Rulon, also a parish-

ioner at Our Ladyof Grace and partic-ipant at thewomen’s retreat,said what really res-onated with herwas Father Met-zger’s message that“Discernment isGod searching us.”

“Christ is in youalways,” Dr. ClariceDoucette said in herpresentation called“We Are on OurWay: St. Teresa’sGuide for the BusyPerson.”

“We continue toconverse with theguest in our heart,”she said, remindingparticipants that“our relationshipwith God feeds intowhat we do in theworld.”

Stating that theday was teachingher humility, JoanGabrielli of OurLady of GraceParish said shelearned that whatSt. Teresa of Avilaspoke of is stillvalid today, espe-cially “finding timefor prayer in a busydaily life.”

“I’m thankful tohave this time of fel-

lowship ...,” Gabrielli said.Anita Corely, also of Our

Lady of Grace, agreed that“it is really nice to take timeto be with other faithfulwomen.”

hard for lawmakers to get alot done,” Tebbe said.“Knowing that reality, I hadfairly low expectations forsignificant progress. Yetdespite the short session,some fairly significant andpositive legislation passed.”

Tebbe said he was verypleased with the quickaction lawmakers took tocorrect the “Dreamers” pro-fessional licensing dilemma.

“Dreamers” are partici-pants in the federal programof Deferred Action for Child-hood Arrivals (DACA).

As a result of a 2011 billpassed by the Indiana Gen-eral Assembly, which predat-ed DACA, “Dreamers” wereshut out of getting profes-sional licenses in Indiana.

“Sometimes the immigra-tion issue can become parti-san, but this year, lawmakerstook quick, bipartisan actionto restore professional licens-ing for young ‘Dreamers,’”Tebbe said.

In all his years of workingin the Statehouse, Tebbenoted, he has seldom seensuch resolve and success infixing a problem.

Indiana lawmakerspassed the “Dreamers” pro-fessional licensing proposal,Senate Bill 419, whichrestores access to profession-al licenses for roughly 9,800

Hoosier DACA participantsfor up to 70 professionallicense categories.

“The bill will have a posi-tive impact not only on thoseindividuals directly affectedby the licensing, but for theirentire families,” Tebbe said.“Employers will also benefitbecause they will be able toretain or hire those whomaintain the proper licens-ing.”

Lower-income Hoosierswill benefit in two waysfrom legislative action thatthe ICC worked on this year.

The ICC advocated for anexpansion in SupplementalNutrition Assistance Pro-gram (SNAP) benefits forpersons with a former drugfelony conviction.

State lawmakers passedthe proposal, Senate Bill 11,which removes the perma-nent ban from food assis-tance under SNAP for con-victed drug felons, as long asthey follow certain releaseguidelines.

“Individuals, after serving

their sentence and releasefrom jail or prison, havemany obstacles when rejoin-ing the community,” Tebbesaid. “Persons who havepaid their debt and areattempting to rectify pastmistakes should be given theopportunity to prove them-selves and be eligible forsupport and programs thatcan assist them and affirmtheir human dignity.”

To prevent exploitation ofthe poor, the ICC alsoworked to stop an expansionof payday loan practices inIndiana.

The proposal, House Bill1319, which failed to pass inthe Senate, would have cre-ated a new class of paydayloans, with annual interestrates more than triple whatIndiana law currently con-siders felony loan sharking.

Testimony earlier in thelegislative session indicatedthat such high-interest loanproducts keep peopletrapped in a debt cycle.

The House passed the bill,

but it was stopped in theSenate when lawmakers didnot give the bill a hearing.

Tebbe said communitydevelopment organizations,nonprofits and manychurches are workingtogether to help low-incomepersons meet day-to-dayneeds, and teach them long-term, constructive ways tobudget, save money andbuild credit so they canemerge out of poverty.

The ICC also advocatedfor several proposals to pro-tect the sanctity of life of theunborn and protect andinform mothers consideringabortion.

Senate Bill 340, whichpassed both houses, willupdate Indiana’s abortionregulations to require annualinspections of abortion cen-ters and add distinct require-ments for surgical and chem-ical abortions.

Tebbe said that due to theincrease of chemical abor-tions and complications aris-ing from them, and as moreand more drugs come fromInternet purchases, doctorsand emergency centers willnow be required to reportthese complications to theIndiana State Department ofHealth (ISDH).

Information about Indi-ana’s Safe Haven law alsowill be included in theinformed consent brochure

and on the ISDH Web site sothat women are aware of theways they can give up theirbaby anonymously afterbirth should the mother beunable to provide care.

In the same proposal,Indiana’s Safe Haven lawwas expanded by allowingnewborn safety devices,commonly referred to as“baby boxes,” to be installedat fire stations that arestaffed by emergency med-ical providers at all times.The boxes themselves mustbe located in conspicuousareas visible to the staff andhave dual alarm systemstested at least monthly.

An Indiana law regardingdeath of an unborn childalso was changed.

Current law provides thatshould an unborn child bekilled during an attack onhis or her mother, the sen-tence for the crime wouldinclude the unborn child, ifhe or she had reached viabil-ity.

The law passed this yearwill allow an enhancementof the sentence for an unbornchild at any stage of devel-opment, affirming life atconception.

Archabbey named 2017 Indiana Tree Farmer of the YearAround Indiana

ST. MEINRAD — SaintMeinrad Archabbey was rec-ognized as the Indiana TreeFarmer of the Year for 2017at the recent annual meetingof the Indiana HardwoodLumbermen’s Association inIndianapolis.

Michael Gregg, SaintMeinrad’s consultingforester, and Father GuyMansini, OSB, were on handto receive the award onbehalf of the archabbey.

The American Tree FarmSystem, established in 1941,is the oldest and largestorganization in the UnitedStates promoting steward-ship of land, water and tim-ber on family-owned land.

The system provides theimportant service of certify-ing sustainably grown andharvested timber.

In 2013, Saint Meinradwas recognized as the 10th50-year-old tree farm in the

state. The archabbey’s interest

in good stewardship dates

back to 1923, when itenrolled in Indiana’sClassified Forest Pro-gram, establishedunder the leadershipof distinguished con-servationist CharlesDeam.

Since then, thearchabbey woodshave provided tim-ber for its own build-ing projects and,since 1965, havehelped sustain thelocal timber andwoodworking indus-try with more than 4million board feet oflumber.

In 2006 and 2007,the archabbey refor-

ested substantial acreage ofold pasture and crop landwith the help of the Ameri-

can Electric Power Co. andthe Wetlands Reserve Pro-gram of the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture.

Many people have con-tributed to the archabbey’sstewardship of its woods,including Father BertrandGilles, Father Joseph Mortand Father Kevin Ryan,monks; past managers of theproperty, Pat Clark and JohnWilson; and currently, AndyHagedorn and ShawnSchwindel.

The help of local districtforesters of the IndianaDepartment of NaturalResources also has beenindispensable — Jim Willis,Martin Grose, Joe Bruggen-schmidt and Earl McCleery.
