Br. James Vorndran, SM

Apr 1, 2025

The Province of the United States recommends to our fraternal prayers our dear brother James R. VORNDRAN of the St. Leonard Community in Centerville, Ohio, USA, who died in the service of the Blessed Virgin Mary on February 22, 2025, in Centerville, at the age of 84 with 65 years of religious profession. Embracing a lifelong willingness to try new things, Brother Jim ministered in a wide variety of ways as a Marianist—teaching in the United States and two different African nations; serving as a religious formator; nursing in clinical settings; directing and managing community centers; and offering pastoral care and spiritual direction, among other roles as a vowed religious. He also developed a talent for heritage handweaving and a deep affection for mysticism and centering prayer. James Richard Vorndran was born on July 9, 1940, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

He was the only child in the family of Benno and Louise (Baumgartner) Vorndran. While attending the parish grade school – St. Ambrose – he recalled feeling the stir of a religious vocation even as a second grader. Jim first encountered the Marianists at North Catholic High School in Pittsburgh. Inspired by the example of the Marianist Brothers who taught at North Catholic, Jim entered the novitiate at Marcy, New York, in 1958 and professed first vows there on September 2, 1959. Brother Jim then pursued scholasticate studies at the University of Dayton. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Education at UD in 1963 and professed final vows there on August 15, 1963. Even before completing his undergraduate degree, Brother Jim agreed to “go out early” and begin teaching high school. It was only after agreeing to the assignment that he learned that the subject would be typing – a fact that “came as quite a shock since I never had learned to type,” he wrote on the occasion of his 60th jubilee. Noting that it was the first real surprise in his life as a Marianist, the experience “gave me a sense of courage and a willingness to try new things. In the end, my students actually did learn to type – and so did I!”

Brother Jim spent the next two years teaching at Marianist-sponsored high schools in Covington, Kentucky, and Dayton, Ohio. Then came the next surprise in “a string of many surprises”: the invitation to take on (as a 23-year-old) a teaching assignment in Africa. His missionary work began at Mangu High School in Thika, Kenya, where Brother Jim served as a classroom teacher and librarian until 1965. He moved next to Chaminade Secondary School in Karonga, Malawi, where he served as a teacher until 1969. During this time, Brother Jim also became the country’s National Chief Health Science Examiner and learned to speak two local languages: Swahili and Tumbuka. His book, An Outline History of Malawi, was published by Malawi’s Department of Education in 1970. Returning to the United States, Brother Jim spent the next 15 years in formation work and administrative duties for the former Cincinnati Province. During this period, he served as both Assistant Director and Director of Novices, Director of Aspirancy and Post-Novitiate, and Director of Foreign Affairs. In 1985, he returned to Pittsburgh and began work on a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree at Duquesne University, earning it in 1989.

While living in the Troy Hill Community in Pittsburgh, Brother Jim served as a staff nurse and clinical computer instructor at Shadyside Hospital. He also became the project manager for the hospital’s home computer selection process. In 1996, he moved to Dayton and, over the next ten years, took on roles as business manager and community director for three different Marianist Communities. Brother Jim also helped to create and lead the Founders Family Center, a collaboration among eight religious orders that provides support and resources for underserved residents on Dayton’s west side. During this period, Brother James was diagnosed with macular degeneration – a progressive retinal disease that would ultimately render him legally blind. Still, he continued to “try new things,” for a time becoming the medical coordinator for Marianists living in the province’s extended care facilities.

In 2005, Brother Jim moved to the Maui Marianist Community in Hawaíi, where he served as Pastoral Associate at St. Anthony’s Parish until 2013. He retired from active ministry and moved into the Marianist Community in Cupertino, California. While there, he stayed active in volunteer work – including a teaching stint at the Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired which was featured in The Mercury News in 2016. With his health declining, Brother Jim moved back to Ohio and joined the Siena Woods Marianist Community in 2019. Marianist Brother Bob Metzger recalls that Brother Jim was always open to whatever ministry he was being called to by the province. “He was very talented and enjoyed learning new experiences,” Brother Bob says. “Jim was an ardent believer in Centering Prayer as it greatly affected his spiritual life, and he enjoyed teaching this method of prayer to others. He never let his blindness stop him from listening to the latest books on theology and spirituality or keeping up with current events from around the world. He will be greatly missed as a dear friend and Marianist Brother.” Amy Taulbee, staff aide at the St. Leonard Community, particularly enjoyed Brother Jim’s sense of humor. “We were always laughing and joking around,” she says. “And Brother Jim was concerned about having his hair cut – he would ask all the time to get a trim! He liked his music and audiobooks. He was just a funny man and is very missed.”
Brother Jack Somerville felt blessed to be at Brother Jims’ side during his final days. “Three days before Jim’s death, we were alone together in his room,” Brother Jack says. “We thanked each other for our mutual honesty, brotherhood, and friendship. It was our way of saying goodbye and bringing to closure the gift of our life together as brothers.”

May he rest in peace.

Fr. Kevin Joyce

Mar 3, 2025

05/28/1949 – 03/01/2025

Passed on to God’s Eternal Care, in Palo Alto, on March 1, 2025, at 75 years of age, Reverend Kevin Patrick Joyce, dearly beloved son of the late Patrick and Margaret (Margie) Joyce; loving brother of the late Brian Joyce, preceded in death by all of his aunts and uncles and many cousins; survived by numerous cousins and many friends both locally and nationally.

Fr. Kevin was born on May 28, 1949, and was raised as a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ at St. Philip Neri Parish in Alameda. He was a graduate of St. Joseph High School and St. Patrick College, Mountain View, and St. Patrick Seminary, Menlo Park. Fr. Kevin was ordained to the priesthood on April 12, 1980, for the Archdiocese of San Francisco by the late Most Reverend John R. Quinn. In 1981, when the new Diocese of San Jose was formed Fr. Kevin decided to serve in the new presbyterate. He served with distinction for almost 45 years in the following assignments, St. Catherine of Alexandria Church in Morgan Hill (1980-1985), faculty of St. Joseph College, Mountain View, CA (1985-1988), director of the permanent diaconate (1985-1988); completed his doctoral dissertation in Catholic spirituality through Catholic University of America (1988-1991), parochial vicar at St. Maria Goretti Church, San Jose, CA (1991-1993) and then pastor (1993-2005), founder of SpiritSite Spirituality Center, under the auspices of the Diocese of San Jose (2004-2009), pastor of St. Lucy Church (2009-2015). Following retirement, Fr. Kevin served at Our Lady of Guadalupe, San Jose (2015-2018), full-time chaplain of Presentation Center, Los Gatos (2018-19). For the past 6 years, Fr. Kevin has served on the faculty of St. Patrick Seminary, Menlo Park, both as professor and spiritual director and serving at St. John Vianney Parish in San Jose.

Fr. Kevin recently published an autobiography about the first 30 years of his spiritual journey entitled, “Surprised by Grace.” He was greatly influenced by the spiritual masters of St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila, and the Desert Fathers. He had great hopes that his journey would help people see the beauty and truth of the Christian faith in the modern day. Fr. Kevin was an accomplished pianist and organist and composer of sacred music.

Please join us in praying for the repose of Fr. Kevin’s soul and for his family during this time of loss. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Ash Wednesday Schedule

Feb 24, 2025

Ash Wednesday  | March 5, 2025

Ash Wednesday derives its name from this practice, in which the placement of ashes is accompanied by the words, “Repent, and believe in the Gospel” or the dictum “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” The ashes are prepared by burning palm leaves from the previous year’s Palm Sunday celebrations.

The imposition of ashes is a solemn ritual that signals the beginning of the holy season of Lent. The ceremony is distinctive; there is no liturgical action like it throughout the entire church year. For the imposition of ashes on Ash Wednesday, the usual customary practice in the USA may be followed, i.e. tracing the sign of the cross with the ashes on the forehead while reciting the proper formula. Sensitivity should be given to parishioners seeking ashes who prefer that instead they be sprinkled on the head.

Those who wish to be sprinkled should bow their head when approaching the minister. Bishop Cantú leaves it to the discretion of the pastor whether or not to allow sprinkling at their parish.

Guidelines during Fasting Days

Age 14 & older
Abstain from eating meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all Fridays during Lent.		 Age 18-59
Fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday; one full meal per day, two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.

 

Let us  prepare ourselves during Lent  to grow deeper in our relationship with God in preparation for the celebration of the Paschal mystery of Christ – His passion, death and resurrection.  During these 40 days, beginning Ash Wednesday through the Saturday before Easter, we are given an opportunity to reflect and transform our connection with Christ.

Testigo de Misericordia: La Labor Esencial de Catholic Relief Services

Feb 18, 2025

English | Vietnamese

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas:

Hace algunos años, era presidente del Comité de los Obispos para la Justicia y la Paz Internacional. En esa función, viajaba cada año a partes del mundo que enfrentaban las dificultades más graves en Oriente Medio, Asia, África y América Latina. El propósito de estos viajes pastorales era, en primer lugar, expresar la solidaridad en nombre de la Iglesia en los Estados Unidos con quienes sufrían dificultades. En segundo lugar, era observar la situación local y escuchar una variedad de voces (de laicos y clérigos de la Iglesia, de la sociedad civil, diplomáticos, gubernamentales, etc.) para comprender profundamente la dinámica de los conflictos, sus necesidades humanitarias y espirituales, así como sus ideas sobre posibles soluciones a tales conflictos. Luego regresaba a los Estados Unidos y abogaba en nombre de los obispos estadounidenses ante el Congreso y el Departamento de Estado por políticas que ayudarían a esas situaciones particulares.

Después de establecer los primeros contactos con los líderes de la iglesia local, siempre me ponía en contacto con Catholic Relief Services (CRS) que presta servicios en esos lugares en particular. CRS es el brazo humanitario global de la iglesia en los Estados Unidos. Hasta ahora, CRS ha ofrecido ayuda humanitaria a personas en más de 100 países de todo el mundo. Fui testigo del tremendo y estratégico trabajo de CRS, ya que se adapta a las necesidades de las circunstancias locales. Cuando ISIS masacró a yazidíes, musulmanes y cristianos en los Altos de Nínive, los sobrevivientes huyeron a las regiones del norte de Irak. Me reconfortó encontrar a CRS presente en Duhok, en el norte de Irak, no solo proporcionando suministros humanitarios para familias y apoyo emocional para niños traumatizados; también negociaron con los propietarios de casas inacabadas, ofreciendo impermeabilizar las casas a cambio de permitir que las familias que habían huido de Nínive permanecieran en sus hogares durante los meses de invierno glaciales. Este es solo un ejemplo del tipo de ayuda humanitaria estratégica que CRS proporciona en todo el mundo.

Lamentablemente, el mundo no escasea cuando se trata de crisis humanitarias. Afortunadamente, CRS siempre está presente para brindar asistencia sin importar raza, religión o etnia.

CRS se financia con donaciones privadas y contratos gubernamentales (USAID). El presupuesto total de USAID, aunque considerable, representa menos del 1% del presupuesto federal total. Se han planteado inquietudes sobre el uso indebido de los fondos de USAID. Esas inquietudes deberían investigarse y, de ser así, interrumpirse las asignaciones. Sin embargo, como dice el refrán, ¡no tiremos al bebé junto con el agua de la bañera! Los programas deberían examinarse e investigarse, y interrumpirse cuando se asignen de manera inapropiada.

Aunque la tradición judeocristiana influyó mucho en la fundación de los Estados Unidos, nuestro amado país es pluralista. Sin embargo, creo que todas las religiones principales, así como los humanistas seculares, estarían de acuerdo en que ayudar a los seres humanos que se encuentran en extrema necesidad es esencial para la humanidad. En nuestra tradición cristiana, pienso en la parábola de Jesús sobre Lázaro y el hombre rico, que enseña que el cuidado de los pobres es esencial para la vida humana y cristiana (Lc 16:19-31). Estados Unidos es el país más rico del mundo y ha sido un faro de esperanza en muchos casos en todo el mundo. Rezo para que sigamos siéndolo. Con menos del 1% de nuestro presupuesto, creo que podemos permitírnoslo.
