nity for much of what they do. Though the sisters no lon- ger carry a "begging basket" - as was their tradition - they still go into the commu- nity asking for donations in the tradition of their found- ress St. Jeanne Jugan. The Little Sisters of the Poor began in 1839 in France when St. Jeanne Ju- gan took home and cared for a paralyzed and blind elderly woman. To sustain the elderly poor she served, St. Jeanne Jugan walked the streets of France carry- ing her begging basket and asking for alms. Her small ministry flour- ished and attracted oth- ers. Today the sisters serve in more than 30 countries worldwide and in more than two dozen cities in the United States. There are 11 Little Sisters of the Poor serving in Louis- ville and they are assisted in their work by a full staff of healthcare professionals. All the sisters contribute to the well being of the resi- dents though some are now too elderly to provide direct care. Seven sisters are active in the care of residents and operation of the home said, Mother Magyar. They con- tribute a range of services, from coordinating the staff, to helping in the dining room and walking residents to the chapel. Even those who can- not participate directly, con- tribute by praying, visiting and offering simple gestures, such as a "beautiful smile," said Mother Magyar. Some of the residents in the home are frail and need more care than others, said Mother Magyar. These resi- dents receive help from nurs- es and nursing assistants. Despite their limitations Mother Magyar describes the residents as "beautiful people." The average age of a resi- dent at the home is 94, said Mother Magyar. The eldest resident is 106-years-old. "In our culture now it's important we show respect for the elderly. Their life is meaningful and they have dignity," she said. The el- derly are on the "other end of the life spectrum on earth. We want to just be there and assist them on this journey. All should have the love and care they need." Residents have the oppor- tunity to attend Mass ev- ery day. Physical therapy is available, as are a variety of activities, including art, music, shopping trips and discussion groups. St. Joseph Home for the Aged has been at the Audu- bon Plaza location for close to three decades. When the sisters came to Louisville they established a home for the elderly at 622 S. 10th St., where they re- mained for 108 years. That home was closed and the sis- ters left Louisville for some time. In 1991 they returned and opened St. Joseph Home. Ninety-four-year-old Mar- tha Owens - a resident of the St. Joseph Home - re- members the home on 10th street. Her grandmother was a resident there in the 1940s. Owens was a student at Presentation Academy in 1938 and she volunteered in the dining room, helping to serve the elderly. She is a mother of six and became a widow early in her life. She described herself as "independent." It took a while to learn to depend on others for care, she said. But she likes living at the home, she noted. "It's a wonderful place. Anybody that comes to see me says, 'I can't believe this place. It's so clean.' " said Owens. "It's easy living here. The people are friendly, the food is delicious and I can go to Mass every day." The Little Sisters of the Poor are also celebrat- ing 150 years of service in America. The sisters came to the United States in Sep- tember of 1868 and estab- lished their first home in Brooklyn. A year later they came to Louisville in Sep- tember of 1869.

Four years ago, the center supported 48 students in pre- kindergarten to 12th-grade who attended seven Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Louisville and Southern Indiana. Now the center assists 111 students in 14 archdioc- esan schools, including: Mary Queen of Peace Preschool, St. Lawrence Preschool, Im- maculata Classical Academy, Notre Dame and St. Nicholas academies and St. James, St. Leonard and St. Paul schools. Students also attend As- sumption, Holy Cross, St. Xavier and Trinity high schools, as well as Mercy and Presentation academies. The center opened in 2003 after the last Catholic school in West Louisville closed. It was born from the closure of Community Catholic School, a regional institution cre- ated in 1971 by the closure of St. Cecilia, St. Anthony and Our Lady schools. Lou- isville's West End is gener- ally characterized as west of Ninth Street and north of Algonquin Parkway. Hamilton announced the plan to increase enrollment in the spring of 2015. At the time, Hamilton said she wanted to assist more chil- dren who lived in the impov- erished area. Part of that effort was to get the word out about the center and the Catholic Education Founda- tion, which provides tuition assistance to families seek- ing a Catholic education. The biggest factor in the center's growth has been word-of-mouth referrals from current families. "It's because families are happy with their Catholic school and the services they receive here and want to share that joy with others," Hamilton said. Polio, a mother of twin daughters who attend sixth- grade at Notre Dame and a junior at Presentation, said Catholic schools have made all the difference in her fam- ily. She's a registered nurse living with her husband and children in the Portland neighborhood. The center's staff and volunteers have empowered them as parents, she said. "Their support has meant everything. It's comforting to know if you ever need any- thing or someone to talk to, the resources are there," she said. "They are a friend right in our own backyard." She added: "Their support is second to none." Menesha Smith, a parent of two boys, agreed. "They have been so sup- portive with anything I need. They've guided me in the right direction and re- ally helped me find the right fit for my younger son," she said. Smith's son Royal is a third-grader at St. James. Her older son, Mekhi, is a sophomore at St. Xavier. Smith said she explored Catholic schools because she wanted her boys to have more opportunities for their future. "I wanted them to see life differently, to not get stuck in one situation," she said. The smaller class sizes at St. James have been a partic- ular benefit for her younger son, who requires more one- on-one attention, she said. Hamilton said the staff of the center work closely with each family to ensure they have the resources for their child to be successful in school. And, that goes far beyond financial assistance, Hamilton said. The center provides tu- ition assistance, with the help of the CEF; support services, such as tutoring and homework help; and family counseling sessions. Each family pays a portion of their child's tuition and is expected to attend service opportunities and parenting workshops, Hamilton said. "We want to walk this journey with our families, but we do expect attendance at meetings, service oppor- tunities and family growth workshops," she said. Five individuals work part-time at the center, in- cluding Hamilton. Linda Greenwell is the director of education. Mary Ellen Hil- bert is the intervention coor- dinator. Vern Rickert serves as the counselor, and Rae Giuffre works as the office manager. Their work is supported by about 45 volunteers, and the center is always looking for more, Hamilton added.

New film on St. Faustina to make one-night debut
Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON - A new film on the life of St. Faus- tina Kowalski, the Polish nun whose visions of Jesus led to the Divine Mercy devo- tion, will have a one-night- only showing Oct. 28 on more than 700 screens across the United States, including at theaters in Louisville. The 90-minute movie, "Love and Mercy: Faus- tina," will also have some features about St. Faustina surrounding it, according to Marian Father Chris Alar, who is seen on-screen dur- ing the film. Shot in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Mexico, Colombia and the United States, "Love and Mercy: Faustina" was filmed twice, with the actors speaking in English or Polish, said Fa- ther Alar in an Oct. 3 phone interview with Catholic News Service from his na- tive Michigan, where he was giving a retreat. The movie was directed by Michal Kondrat, who may be familiar to some Catholics as the director of "Two Crowns," a 2017 film biography of St. Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish priest who died in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II.
