Annually, we observe Jubilee - the anniversary when a Sister professes First Vows in a religious community - and this year we are pleased to celebrate the Jubilee of 10 of our Sisters in July. Throughout their religious life, these Sisters served in various capacities at our hospitals in Illinois and Wisconsin along with our missions in Tanzania and Taiwan, served in leadership of our American Province and International Community, and served in cities throughout Illinois, Missouri, Thailand, and Germany.

We congratulate Sister Ines Schlatholter, OSF (seated center) who was honored at the Franciscan Federation conference in Buffalo, NY. She is pictured with (seated) fellow Hospital Sisters Mary Mac (left) and Anjali (right), and (standing) Carol Sue, Arlene, Rosily, Ann, and MaryAnn.

Sister Ines received this honor as "someone who embodies the values of being incarnational, personal, communal, transformative, engaging the heart and developing servant-leaders."

Sister Ines Professed First Vows with the German Province of the Hospital Sisters of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis on May 5, 1974 and transferred to the American Province in 2000. While currently serving in St. Louis, MO, Sister Ines ministers to the poor, elderly and refugees including people from Liberia. Furthermore, over the years Sister Ines has offered leadership in providing development of the program and input sessions for International Formation Conferences which are offered for Sisters who are professed at least three years and up to 10 years after final profession.

The Catholic Health Association (CHA) of the United States recognized Sister Jomary Trstensky, OSF (pictured left) with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Annual Assembly last week in New Orleans, LA. She is pictured with Sister Carol Keehan, DC, CHA President and CEO, and Rodney Hochman, MD, CHA Board of Trustees Chair.

Sister Jomary is chairperson of Hospital Sisters Ministries, the public juridic sponsor of HSHS.

The lifetime achievement award recognizes people who have devoted much of their lives to Catholic-based health care. It honors those who have mentored and inspired others. And it goes to people who have shown leadership beyond Catholic institutions to the local community and beyond.

Sister Jomary has spent more than 50 years in Catholic-based health care. Past roles include Provincial Superior of the American Province of the Hospital Sisters of St. Francis and HSHS President.
