President's Message       April 2025

NCBWL President 2023-25

Isaiah 43: 18-19

Remember not the events of the past, the things of long ago consider not; seee, I am doing something new! 

What a wonderful 75th Anniversary celebration at Aquinas College last month!


Thanks to those who helped Patricia Smith and me with the logistics and preparation that led to a record attendance. 
Our speaker Katie Seigenthaler knocked it out of the park with her insider information about the life and times of her uncle Fr. Strobel.
We even raised some more scholarship money via our pop up silent auction that included the Nashville Sounds' donation of baseball tickets.  Katie and her family members present were also touched with our addition of peanut butter and jelly appetizers at each table. Several past Presidents and long term members helped make the evening special.


The League scrapbooks were returned to the archives at the Catholic Pastoral Center. Thanks to Erica Beaty, the archivist there, who welcomes visitors by appointment. 


This month, we won't be recalling the past as much as looking to the future. A new Board will be installed and plans for next steps will commence.


However, the current Board will add brief reports on what was accomplished or attempted in the past two years.
At this writing, there are still crucial vacancies to be filled. I want to personally testify that my two years as President has included the incredible team work of the current board who I must mention by name:
Patricia M. Smith, Trish Cronin, Ellen Wade, Karoline Mahoney, Mary Rolando, Jennie Guinn, Lauren Barca, Courtney Conklin, Connie Allison and Carol Ann Ferdandez.


As you may know Patricia has taken on President-Elect and added it to her Communication Chair role for months.
Together, we are all actively seeking others who can help her go forward.


Most of us will remain active members with experience to share.


Please pray on it and call or write to any of us if you can consider: President-Elect, Communications, or Development.
I have been honored to serve this League and will continue to assist as needed.  Thanks for your help and trust.

Respectfully,

The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known 
that anyone who fled to thy protection, 
implored thy help, 
or sought thy intercession, 
was left unaided. 
Inspired by this confidence 
I fly unto thee, 
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. 
To thee do I come, 
before thee I stand, 
sinful and sorrowful. 
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions, 
but in thy mercy hear and answer me. 
Amen.
