3 JULY 28-AUGUST 3, 2014 St. Louis Review JUBILARIANS PAGE 3 Building something better Sparkill Dominican s neighborhood-building in East St. Louis exemplifies dedication By Joseph Kenny jkenny@archstl.org When Sparkill Dominican Sister Carol Lehmkuhl came to the East St. Louis, Ill., neighborhood, its most prominent feature was a big house with drug-dealing and prostitution. Dilapidated, abandoned homes dotted the landscape. It wasn t a place where you d want to be. Now, the area outside what once was the rectory of the former St. Adalbert Parish is a neighborhood of new homes for low-income families. The streets are clean, and the drug-dealing and prostitution are for the most part gone. Sister Carol is the director of the East Side Heart and Home Family Center. Together with the staff and the board, she has led the neighborhood-building and it isn t just the home ownership but family support that has made a difference. Programs include alternative education, paying the tuition and expenses for attendance at local private (usually Catholic) schools; a senior program with transportation; a Women s Circle, with support for women who are the primary caregivers to their families; an afterschool program assisting with homework and improved math and reading skills; a summer program for children, with older youth hired as counselors; and more. I m OK Hey, Mae, how are you feeling? Sister Carol exclaimed on a walk along a street of new homes one recent weekday morning. Mae Strong s house was one of the first built by the Family Center volunteers. She had come home a few days earlier after having surgery. I m OK, just a lot of pain. I have to go to the doctor tomorrow, Strong said. Moving to the home about 10 years ago was life-changing, said Strong, who formerly lived in a housing complex. She has five grown children and seven grandchildren, and they are frequent visitors. Lisa Johnston lisajohnston@archstl.org Sister Carol Lehmkuhl, OP, director of the Eastside Heart and Home Family Center in East St. Louis, Ill., center, walked the grounds of a new home being built with Sarah Hyde. I never would have thought I could have purchased a house, she said, explaining that she became disabled, lost her job and was ready to give up. They stood behind me and kept pushing and pushing. Sister Carol always is so supportive. I ve struggled, but I ve maintained. Sister Carol s destination was the newest home, where volunteers were helping the homeowner put up a fence. She was accompanied by Sarah Hyde, and earlier the two stopped by to check out the Family Center s garden. Another resident, Sharon Wilbourn, helps care for the garden with beans, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, cantaloupe, peppers, corn, celery and grapes. Hyde received advice from Sister Carol and other staff members of the Family Center for the difficulty she was having getting in touch with state workers concerning Food Stamps, which she hadn t received for more than six weeks. Hyde, who has four children, cares for two grandchildren, including one who has special dietary needs. Hyde also updated Sister Carol on a potential job she has on an assembly line. Catalysts for change The mission of East Side Heart and Home Family Center is to help people to be catalysts for change by providing them with opportunities to work side-by-side with each other on programs and projects that bring positive changes in their lives and their communities. Staff members include two full-time and two part-time Sparkill Dominicans and three laypeople. Many volunteers lend help, such as two young women who volunteered earlier this year to teach children to bake and to make pizza. Sister Carol, who lives in St. Louis as do some other staffers and volunteers, is celebrating her 50th anniversary as a Sparkill Dominican. This area once was filled with beautiful homes, Sister Carol said, noting that social problems affected East St. Louis and led to a loss of jobs, population and structure. The Family Center was founded in the fall of 1993 to turn the closing of an alternative high school site that had been a valued community resource and sign of hope into a positive for the Olivette Park Neighborhood. With a goal to improve housing stock for low-income families, East Side Heart and Home began in 1995 as a collaborative effort of local groups, including the Family Center, Catholic Urban Programs and St. Vincent de Paul Parish in St. Louis and leaders such as Joe Hubbard and Vincentian Father James Cormack. In 1997, they built the first four homes with the help of donors and volunteers. In all, 18 houses have been built. Since 2013, the combined agency has been known as East Side Heart and Home Family Center. I believe in the people. They have potential, they just don t have a lot of ways to get out of poverty. They re poor. So they re trapped, Sister Carol said. That s why we re here, to say there s something better, even if they don t want to get out of East St. Louis because their roots are here. Family Sister Carol cited Wilbourn, whom she met in 1993 when Wilbourn did not have a high how to help East Side Heart and Home Family Center seeks volunteers for homebuilds as well as donated materials. Volunteers are sought for other programs as well as funding for those programs. For information or to contribute, contact: East Side Heart and Home Family Center, 705 Summit Ave., East St. Louis, Ill ; (618) ; or send an to school degree and felt stuck. She did not trust anyone. Now part of the program, she has her GED, a job, raised a family and lives in one of the houses. The education program also has many successes, including a girl who will attend junior college in the fall to study early childhood education. She belonged to a chorus that sang at school Masses at Althoff High School as well as the Crusaders Against Alcohol and Drugs club. She served as a camp counselor and belonged to the teen group at the Family Center. She is working during the summer to save money for college. People who really believe in us are like family to us, Sister Carol said. Though not a Catholic agency, we help each other learn who God is by talking with each other, challenging each other and being open to each other, she noted. Sister Carol recently wrote in the center s newsletter that our faith assures us that we are not alone. We walk this mysterious journey called life in blessing and hopefulness confident and assured of the love of God and the companionship of faithful and loving friends.

He challenges us to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ with fervor, joy, generosity, courage, boundless love and attraction. Archbishop Robert J. Carlson has noted in his column in the Review that we all are called to be missionary disciples who are willing to move beyond our comfort zones to proclaim the Good News and serve others, especially the poor and those who are most vulnerable. The message of Jesus is clear, he explained: Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you (Matthew 28:19-20). This great commission belongs to each one of us and to the whole Church, Archbishop Carlson wrote. We fulfill this responsibility each in our own way according to the gifts and talents given to us by the Holy Spirit as stewards of our baptismal calling. Archbishop Carlson noted the particular role of those in ordained ministry and the consecrated life and thanked and congratulated those who are celebrating their jubilee this year, calling them a blessing and gift to the archdiocese. Love for Christ Those in the priesthood are called to serve the baptismal priesthood, which all baptized Christians share. Their particular ministry, the ministerial priesthood, guarantees that it really is Christ who acts in the sacraments through the Holy Spirit for the Church (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1120). The archbishop cited their love for Christ and His Church and their desire to lead all Catholics, and indeed all God s people, to a deeper and more loving relationship with God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The priesthood is a vocation that requires courage and self-sacrifice, but it is a way of life that is filled with joy and satisfaction, he stated. Seeking the Kingdom In Vita Consecrata, the 1996 postsynodal apostolic exhortation, St. John Paul II wrote of the different forms of consecrated life as the many branches which sinks its roots into the Gospel and brings forth abundant fruit in every season of the Church s life. The consecrated life also is not easy but has joy, Archbishop Carlson noted in a column in the Review. It requires a special fidelity to the pursuit of holiness that is the vocation of all baptized Christians. As Blessed John Paul II wrote, the mission of women and men called to the consecrated life is to remind the rest of us to keep our eyes fixed on the peace to come, and to strive for the definitive happiness found in God. Consecrated persons are meant to be signs that there is much more to life than the here and now. True happiness will not be found in the pursuit of worldly things. Instead, these holy men and women remind us, we should seek first the Kingdom of God and everything we truly need will be given to us (Matthew 6:33). Our Church owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to the women and men whose whole lives are devoted to reminding us that we are all called to be poor, chaste and obedient according to our state of life married, single, ordained or living the consecrated life, he added. Three-fold service Archbishop Carlson noted that permanent deacons give a three-fold service of the Word, the altar and charity. In a message to permanent deacons, he said that in your role as Christ the servant, your mission of charity is more important than ever in our secularized world where charity and love do not prevail. He cited St. John Paul II, who noted that deacons, like other disciples, are to be a leaven in the world, a positive influence for change so, as the Second Vatican Council noted, society may be renewed by Christ and transformed into a family of God. We have learned over the years that the secret to promoting vocations is simple, Archbishop Carlson wrote. We must pray. We must give witness through our own lives. And we must invite women and men of faith to prayerfully consider God s personal call. The seeds that God has planted must be nourished, cultivated and harvested with great care. We must all pray, witness and invite.
