Dear MCA Members,
May the grace and peace of the Holy Spirit be with us forever!
Recent events in my life as General Custodian of the MCA have truly enhanced my faith into a state of "white heat." I am encouraged and overwhelmed by the abundance of grace which I received in March 2003 throughout our Margaret Healy Leadership Assembly. How obvious it was that the Lord transforms insignificant gifts and skills into magnificent results. At the Assembly, it became clear that there is a highly spiritual, conscientious, responsible and well-seasoned leadership in the MCA ready to own that which Fr. Judge willed to us. Joanne Jones is a good example and I welcome her with open arms as General Custodian Assistant. It is always a privilege to work with Joanne. She is a great asset and blessing to the MCA.
I am challenged and inspired by the sacrifices and dedication of our leaders. Every Region is represented when the MCA Council meets. They fill me with hope for the future of the MCA and for the entire Missionary Cenacle Family. I am also very pleased to report that the MCA is making considerable progress in the area of improving communication through the newsletter, the use of e-mail, and the Internet. It is an occasion of grace to know that all requests for prayers are being received by most MCA members, Spiritual Guides and by many other members of our Cenacle Family. Thank you, Jim and Smittie Bolner for your wonderful work!
Another event that enhanced my faith into a state of “white heat” was in June 1-7, 2003, at the joint General Cenacle of the Missionary Servants of the Most Blessed Trinity and of the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity held in Eufala, Alabama. The MCA and BTMI General Custodians were invited; however, the STs extended an invitation to a number of lay persons of whom six were MCA Associates (Deborah Plummer, Pat Regan, Enriqueta Quiros Castro, Shawn Witmer, Martha Vega, and Josie Morales). This took courage and a certain amount of risk on the part of the STs because even though we would not be voting, we were active participants in the discussions and working sessions.
After reflecting on our shared experience with the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity, the MCA gave the following challenges and affirmations to the STs:
We challenge you to:
*accept that we love you and care about you;
*become more transparent with us;
*maintain ongoing dialogue with us, as you deal with your many congregational challenges;
*move beyond collaboration based on convenience toward a more radical partnership for mission, e.g., in planning and evaluation for missions;
*recognize that not all lay people are alike, just as not all religious are alike;
*accept that you need our gifts - just as we need your gifts;
*realize that we share your commitment to our charism, beyond personalities and even your presence in our particular location;
*embrace us as a constitutive element of your identity, in so far as we share your passion for mission, your Cenacle history, and your hopes and dreams (and fears) for the future.
We affirm you as:
*you are very collaborative;
*you share power in pastoral life and decisions;
*you are willing to be vulnerable with us;
*you are passionate in serving the poor and abandoned;
*you are willing to go the extra mile for even one soul;
*you are extremely generous, even to the point of being taken advantage of;
*you have been willing to embrace the MCA as partners in mission even when you have not understood it or had experience with us;
*you are willing to learn another language and to embrace other cultures;
*you choose to begin missions among the most abandoned, to start at zero;
*you are compassionate confessors and spiritual guides;
*you share your love of the Eucharist;
*you show great respect for your employees, especially domestic help;
*you are willing to eat almost any thing!
*you relate to the simplest person, in spite of your formal education;
*you accommodate new members, in where and how you do formation;
*you are open to receiving affirmation.
In relation to the MCA, a proposal was presented and accepted that a process of dialogue be developed between the STs and the MCA focused on Article 8 of the Rule of Life. The STs also accepted another proposal recommending that within the formation programs the history, charism and mutual relationship with the MCA be taught with clear, continuous and consistent vision, both in theory and practice.
The atmosphere which prevailed was a genuine atmosphere of family—a family at work. Throughout the meetings, meals, and liturgies there was a sincere and deep expression of hospitality and affection among all.
In gratitude to our Triune God for the graces received through our Missionary Cenacle Family, I would like to express a renewed commitment to continue working ever more diligently to deepen the spirit of family.
In the Most Holy Trinity,
Josie Morales, MCA, General Custodian

We welcome Father John Seymour, ST, who has been named as the new MCA International Spiritual Guide. Father John is well known for his love of and dedication to the MCA. On several occasions throughout the last four years, Fr. John served as the Acting International Spiritual Guide. We look forward to his letters and to working with him in promoting the spiritual growth of the MCA.
On behalf of the MCA we wish to thank Fr. Domingo Rodriguez, ST, for his service as International Spiritual Guide. His love for the MCA goes back long before he ever was our International Spiritual Guide. Father Domingo’s letters in this publication were an inspiration to all of us. Those of us who participated in retreats or meetings with him, know of the tremendous gifts he brought to us all. We send him off with our best wishes, prayers, and support in his new assignment.

Letter From Father John Seymour, ST
Dear Brothers and Sisters of the MCA,
“May the grace and peace of the Holy Spirit be with us always!”
As you may know, Fr. Domingo Rodriguez, ST, has received a new assignment as Director of our professed seminarians in Mexico City. Because of his new responsibilities, he will not be able to continue as International Spiritual Guide. We owe a debt of gratitude to him for all he has done and continues to do for the MCA. His counsel and encouragement have been key factors in the progress the MCA has made over the past few years.
I first entered the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate as a 20 year old college student in New York City. We worked with our Trinitarian sisters teaching catechism in Spanish Harlem. There I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Margaret Healy, a gracious and holy woman. Shortly after that I heard God calling me to be a priest. I decided to become a Trinity Missionary because I was drawn by the family spirit I had experienced in the Cenacle. I feel blessed to be able serve the MCA where the roots of my vocation were planted. I believe in the MCA. I did when I first entered in 1962. I believe in it even more today.
One thing I ask is for you to send your e-mail address to Jim Bolner, MCA, at jimbolnersr@cox.net. With the help of other Spiritual Guides, I would like to send out monthly reflections to you by means of e-mail. If you don’t have e-mail, someone in your Cenacle may. That person could then pass the reflections to the others in their Cenacles. We would like to reach as many as possible.
Meanwhile, I will be praying for you in my daily Mass. As I lift up my chalice I will lift your intentions with it. For your part I ask that you make every effort to meditate daily on the Gospel readings, even if all you have is ten minutes. Ask for the grace to know Jesus better, to love him more, and to serve him generously. The apostolic life is founded on a personal and intimate union with Jesus. We do what we do out of love for God, who loved us first in Jesus. Daily reading and reflection on the Gospel helps to keep that love alive in us. That’s where the fire is. Let’s keep it burning.
— Fr. John Seymour, ST

Joanne Jones, New Assistant General Custodian
At the MCA Leadership Assembly held at Holy Trinity, Alabama, on March 27-30, 2003, Joanne Jones was unanimously nominated by the delegates to fill the position of Assistant General Custodian for the next four years. Her nomination was affirmed by the general membership in the elections held after the Assembly. Although we have seen Joanne’s name in the newsletter many times over the past several years and know of the work she does in the MCA, we do not know a great deal about her personal life. We have asked Joanne to write a brief biography so that we can get to know her better.
Born to military parents in Mobile, AL, I grew up with a tremendous sense of the need for prayers in our daily life. My dad was a strong believer in the teaching of Bishop Sheen that the “The family that prays together stays together.” We would pray the rosary together as a family; our mom, a convert to Catholicism in my Junior High School years, taught us the Baltimore Catechism . These were early formative faith lessons in my life that influenced my call to be a Catholic missionary in the providence of my everyday life. I grew up accompanying my parents as we moved from place to place in the in the U.S., Japan, and Germany. It was in Frankfurt, Germany, that I met and married my soldier husband, Harry. We spent the next 23 years in the military. Our first two children were born in California during our first three years of married life. Harry served two terms in Viet Nam while I stayed home with our children in Mobile, then in Atlanta. We then went back to Frankfurt, Germany, where our third child was born. We bounced back and forth between the U.S. and Germany two more times. Each tour in Germany was for three years. In Europe, we traveled as much as a young family with three children could. In our travels, we camped or stayed at European guest houses. Some of our travels included England, Ireland, Spain, France, Austria, Holland, and even a visit with the Pope in Italy. Thus, I was introduced to many different cultures . One of my most rewarding trips was a ten day trip to Israel where we celebrated the liturgy in different towns that had just been names in Scripture. This added a depth to my understanding of Bible stories and the people in Jesus’ homeland.
During one of my trips to Germany, I attended a Cursillo weekend. This was the setting of the first cornerstone of my adult understanding and commitment to the Catholic faith. This marked my first step to “choosing to become a committed adult Catholic.”
The next cornerstones came when Harry retired and we moved to Florida. I began a search of how to more fully live out my Catholic commitment to serve. That is when my sister, Pat, answered the question for me by introducing me to the spirituality, charism, and life of service of Fr. Judge at Holy Trinity. I call it “Spirit full timing,” as I probably wouldn’t have been open to the promptings any sooner. I went with Sister Pat to visit and walk the holy ground we came to know and love. From the first moment, it seemed, I fell in love with the whole idea of being a missionary in the providence of my everyday life. MCA just provided the vehicle and the continuing grace and support to do so. Becoming a missionary has added depth, meaning, and grace to my life. It has asked a commitment of time, talent, and treasure. It has asked and I’ve responded “yes.”
The third cornerstone to my foundation was a connection to the MSBT. Sisters Jean, Nancy, Beckie and Chris in Pensacola became my teachers. They taught me initially through LEAVEN, a diocesan program dedicated to teaching Catholic lay leadership. I attended this formation program for two years; then I was asked to become a facilitator and later a director, positions I held for the next ten years. It was during this period, also, that I began my ministry of counseling bereaved family members and visiting patients in nursing homes.
The fourth corner is my service and learning within the MCA. Initially I joined Living Waters Cenacle in Pensacola (45 miles from my home in Fort Walton Beach, Florida), then we started Spirit of Light Cenacle in the Fort Walton area. Moving from Custodian to Assistant Regional, to Regional Custodian and now to Assistant General Custodian has been an unexpected challenge, growth, and grace in my life. At each change, prayer and discernment have led the way. It has not been without fear, or without mistakes, but always with the encouragement and support of my brothers and sisters in the Missionary Cenacle Family.
So it is that I begin this Ministry of Authority as your Assistant General Custodian, open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and the call of our General Custodian, Josie Morales, as to what will follow. I am honored to serve in this position and at Josie’s side. I ask for your continued support through communication of your needs to your General Council and your prayers for guidance.
If I have just one thing to share with you, it would be to remain open to the Holy Spirit, and when asked, respond with zeal, “Yes, I will go, serve, and contribute.” It will change your life immeasurably! May God be with you in the providence of your every day as you live your life in witness and service to our Triune God.
—Joanne Jones

Anita Santos-Ortiz , MCA, Lorain, Ohio, passed away Saturday, April 25, 2003. Only 49 years of age, she had battled cancer for a number of years. A long-time friend of the STs, Anita lived out her apostolic commitment to the MCA through her service to her church, Sacred Heart, and to the larger community in Lorain. Anita is survived by her husband, Al, and her five children.

Dear Members of the MCA,
“May the grace and peace of the Holy Spirit be with us always!”
For the past 12 years, it has been my good fortune to serve on the General Council of the MCA, first as Regional Councilor and then as Assistant General Custodian. This service has been most rewarding and the source of many graces. For reasons of health, I am no longer able to serve in these positions. The sacrifices and diligence of those who have served with me will always be an inspiration. Through the years I have come to know and love many MCA Associates, not just those on the Council, as well as members of the other three branches of the Missionary Cenacle Family. Through them I have acquired a knowledge of the history and charism of the founder, which has helped me to strengthen my resolve to use whatever gifts I have to serve out my baptismal call to be an apostle. I look forward to continuing to serve the MCA and the MCF in the area of communications, but most of all, I look forward to continuing the apostolic way of life through my life-time commitment to the MCA.
With heartfelt thanks,
—Jim Bolner, MCA

DAY OF REFLECTION
Days of reflection (or recollection) are a recognized practice in the apostolic life. “We pray together to promote zeal in the apostolate, more supportive community life, and stronger bonds within the Missionary Cenacle Family” (Rule of Life and Constitution, Art. 19). During the fall and winter several Cenacles are planning a “Day of Reflection.” If you live nearby any of the areas where these will take place, we urge you to join your sisters and brothers in sharing a day of prayer and community. Even if you do not live nearby, it would be a wonderful way to take a grace-filled vacation. Below are invitations from two Cenacle groups in the Southeast U.S. region.

For the second time in its history, members of the MCA gathered on March 27-30, 2003, at Holy Trinity to evaluate its current state, deliberate its future, and nominate candidates to lead the MCA for the next four years. There were 34 voting MCA members present, including 26 delegates representing the six regions, the Regional Custodians, the General Custodian, and the Assistant General Custodian. Also attending were the Spiritual Guides from the regions, Missionary Cenacle Family guests and the Assembly team. The 26 delegates were either selected or elected to represent their respective regions. In a nominating process that involved only the voting members present, Josie Morales was nominated for a second term as General Custodian and Joanne Jones was nominated to fill the position of Assistant General Custodian. In accordance with the Rule of Life and the Constitution, the Associates are required to vote for individuals to fill the positions of General Custodian and Assistant General Custodian. Since no other candidates had been nominated, a ballot was sent to the Associates asking them to vote by affirming, or not affirming, the nominations. A total of 451 Associates voted, with all but one voting in the affirmative
Question of leadership
—A personal viewpoint
I attended the Assembly, not as a delegate, but as a member of the team, primarily as a recorder. Following the Assembly, I was asked by Josie Morales to send out election ballots and to tally the results. Some Associates expressed concern (1) that it was not a “true election” in that there was not a slate of candidates from which to select, and, (2) that the lack of a slate of candidates is indicative of a lack of leadership among the members.
As an observer at the Assembly, I would like to address these concerns. As to its being a “true election,” it is natural that as lay persons, accustomed to democratic election processes, we should have this concern. However, the process for nominating candidates and voting on the nominations was not unlike many with which we are familiar. The 26 delegates were either selected or elected by the members in their regions to represent them at the Assembly. In the nomination process the delegates and voting members from each region gathered at tables to discuss the qualifications they were looking for in candidates to fill the positions of General Custodian and Assistant General Custodian and, following this process, to nominate candidates. They were instructed to consider those persons present at the assembly as well as other potential leaders from their respective regions. There was no discussion across regions, yet at the end of the process when the delegates at each table were called upon to present their nominations, each region brought forth only one name for General Custodian, Josie Morales, and one name for Assistant General Custodian, Joanne Jones. (Jim Bolner had announced that he was not a candidate for re-election due to reasons of health.) The fact that only one candidate was nominated for each position was a clear recognition that the two persons nominated best represented those qualifications delegates were looking for in their leaders. Members were then asked to vote on the candidates nominated by their representatives.
As to the second concern, it is true that the MCA does not have a long history of developing leadership, and, even in the recent past, there has been a problem with finding leaders. Leadership workshops and assemblies such as the one held this spring, have done much to change that. The increased involvement of the other branches in the development and nurturing of the MCA has played an important role in identifying and educating leaders as to its history and charism. We need to keep in mind that the organization requires strong leaders in all areas (local, regional, and national ) if it is to carry out its mission. It was evident to me that from among the delegates and regional leaders at the Assembly, a young, vibrant group is emerging with potential to lead the MCA at all levels.
--Smittie Bolner, MCA

Holy Spirit Region– Western U.S.
Our Region, Holy Spirit, is doing well and is very much alive. Fr. Frank Conkle, ST, was the speaker at our Pentecost retreat. “How To Forgive” was the theme. Fr. Frank covered topics such as “reconciliation and forgiveness” and “five reasons why we can’t forgive.” Over 300 members and guests attended. Five affiliates were accepted into candidacy and 12 candidates became Associates.
We have begun an Angel Cenacle (children from 8 to 12 years of age), with the help of the Youth Cenacle, Jesus of Nazareth. In charge of their formation are Lupita Sandoval, Raul Estrada, Lisa Lopéz, and Lili Rivera. Shindy Loza from the Cenacle Juan Diego is also collaborating.
Marta Vega was home and was able to visit many Cenacles.
Fr. John Seymour, formerly our Regional Spiritual Guide is now the International Spiritual Guide. This region is extremely proud of him and glad that he will have the opportunity to share his spirit, love of the MCA, knowledge, and wisdom with the other regions. He is definitely not replaceable, but thanks to four previously local Spiritual Guides, Victor and Ana Gutierrez, Artemia Perez, and Luz De La Torre, who now share the role of Regional Spiritual Guides, the spiritual needs of Holy Spirit Region will be met.

Magnificat Cenacle-Washington State, U.S.
The Magnificat Cenacle in the Northwest is struggling but keeps finding ways to hold together this apostolic life. We consider ourselves one Cenacle that meets in three different cities. Therefore, Magnificat Cenacle includes the cities of Yakima, Tacoma, and Seattle. We meet monthly or twice monthly in our regions but come together four times a year for adult retreats and family camp. This past summer Fr. John Seymour joined us in July for a weekend camp celebrating the Feast of All Saints. Eighty-five adults, youth, and children gathered for a weekend of skits, music, mass, small group sharing, family activities, peer group time, and play. Fr. Dennis Berry joined us in August for a second family camp following the same theme.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Region– Mexico
On Sunday, July 13th, The Missionary Cenacle Family in Buenavista, Michoacan, Mexico, hosted a “Find Your Mission” workshop for 29 young adults from the area. Trinity Mission Center had been invited by Vicente Mora, MCA, and Bertha Zepeda, MCA, to come to Buenavista after they heard about the workshop at the MCA Assembly in April.
The team included Maria Lauren Donohue, MSBT, Maria Zepeda, MSBT, Deborah Wilson, MSBT, Veronica Espina, MCA, Eva Martinez, MCA, and Alejandra Galvan. The young adults heard presentations including "Missionary Spirituality," "How to Discern God's Will," and "How I am a Missionary in My Daily Life."
The workshop included time for reflection and sharing. It ended with a social hosted by the Sagrada Corazon, MCA. While the workshop was in progress, local MCA members were having their own gathering to which over 20 potential MCA candidates had been invited. Martha Vega, MCA, was their guest speaker. The entire day was an excellent opportunity to promote vocations to the Missionary Cenacle Family.
—Deborah Wilson, MSBT
On August 10, 2003, the MCA in Buenavista bid farewell to the Trinitarians who are moving to a different area in Mexico. Father Eugene Mueller, ST, arrived in Buenavista, Mexico, on December 13, 1979. He was assigned to the parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, where he served until he ended his mission here on August 10, 2003. He has been a great missionary who was willing to serve with total commitment. The first of the STs to serve in this area, he was a model for those who were to follow him. In spite of his age, Father was youthful in spirit, working tirelessly to serve the needs of the poor, visiting the sick, and working with the victims of alcoholism and drug addiction. As the Spiritual Guide for the Sacred Heart of Jesus Cenacle in Buenavista, he taught us to be missionaries. We are infinitely grateful to Father Eugene, who brought Christ to life for us in this area of Mexico. It is our intention to continue the example of service he has left us.
Similarly, our Regional Spiritual Guides, Sr. Margaret Fay, MSBT, and Sr. Maria Lauren, MSBT, working with Sr. Grace Raymond, MSBT, Spiritual Guide of the Holy Trinity Cenacle of Santa Ana Amatlán, Michoacán, are an excellent team, who have supported us by keeping the Church alive and working with the most abandoned and needy in our parishes. They, too, are leaving our area, and we will miss them tremendously, but we know that they have to leave to carry out the mission of the Missionary Cenacle Family. Señora Tere Guerrero de Castañeda is now the spiritual guide of the Cenacle of the Sacred Heart. In her farewell speech to Father Eugene and the Sisters on August 10th, she said that “ in leaving the parish to go to another mission they have left us with a challenge. To be without the other branches of the Family is a great loss for us. Vicente Mora, the Regional Custodian, will continue to lead us in our mission, and God remains with us. We are Family. We are going to continue the charism of the Missionary Cenacle Family. We will support the new pastors, Fathers José Luis Espinosa Ramos and Antonio Mendoza.” In her concluding prayer she offered thanks to the Triune God that we may continue to work together to build the Kingdom of God.
The MCA in Buenavista wishes the STs and MSBTs well in their new mission as we open our doors to the diocesan priests and bid them welcome in the name of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
In other news, Alma Rosa Zúñiga de Mora is now the Assistant Custodian of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Cenacle in Buenabista, Tomatlan, Michoacan.
