Sisters of Mercy of the Americas president to speak at SXU
Lecture to address challenges of faith and religion for adult believers
Chicago (Nov. 23, 2010) Sister Mary Waskowiak, President of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas will speak at Saint Xavier University for the Catholic Colloquium lecture series. Her lecture is titled “Sister Says: ‘Be Adult Catholics.’”
The lecture will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Wed., Dec. 1 at Saint Xavier University in the Warde Academic Center’s Butler Reception Room, 3700 W. 103rd St. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Drawing on her commitment as a Sister of Mercy and her broad experience in Catholic Church ministries, Sister Waskowiak will address some of the challenges that religion and faith pose for all adult believers. How does one hold together faith in a transcendent God and membership in a less than perfect religious organization?
Sister Waskowiak has served as President of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas since July 2005. Prior to her role as president, Mary served as councilor on the Institute Leadership Team from 1991 to 1999 and as President of the Sisters of Mercy Regional Community of Burlingame, Calif., from 2003 to 2005.
Sister Waskowiak also served as President of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) from 1996 to 1999, during which time she participated as official observer to the Bishops' Synod for the Americas at the Vatican. Her prior ministry experiences include secondary education, parish ministry, seminary field education, Sisters of Mercy vocation and formation ministry, and directing Mercy Center in Burlingame. Sister Waskowiak has served as facilitator and/or presenter for groups of women and men religious in Argentina, Chile, England, Guyana, Ireland, Peru, South Africa, the United States and Zambia.
The Catholic Colloquium series is sponsored by the Office for University Mission and Heritage. It honors the responsibilities of a Catholic university to its many constituents and illustrates how Catholic universities are resources for examining contemporary civic and social questions.

Chicago (Oct. 22, 2010) Former network news anchor and ABC political analyst Cokie Roberts drew more than 1,100 people to the fifth installment of Saint Xavier University's Voices and Visions lecture series on Oct. 21.
Roberts brought a practiced political eye and keen perspective to the issues currently facing lawmakers in her lecture “An Insider’s View of Washington, D.C. with Cokie Roberts.” Prior to her lecture, Roberts participated in an exclusive classroom discussion with SXU students.
Roberts discussed heightened partisanship among elected officials, the relevance of the Tea Party movement and three important long-term demographic trends: the closing of the "gender gap," referring to women voters previously being more likely to vote for Democrats; the growing political influence of minorities; and President Barack Obama attracting large numbers of young voters during the 2008 election. She drew parallels between the Reagan Revolution of 1980 and the current political environment, suggesting the country may have made a generational shift toward the Democratic Party.
"I look at the long-term trajectory and I look at the issues younger voters are interested in and I still think it's possible, even after the bath Democrats are likely to take in this election, that we are looking at the ushering in of another generation of change in politics," Roberts said.
Roberts is senior news analyst for National Public Radio and a political analyst for ABC News. She co-anchored the weekly ABC interview program "This Week" from 1996 to 2002. Roberts has won numerous awards, including three Emmys, in her more than 40 years in broadcasting. She has been inducted into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame, and was cited by the American Women in Radio and Television as one of the 50 greatest women in the history of broadcasting. The Library of Congress this year named her a “Living Legend.”

SXU hosts fifth annual “Breakfast With Your Legislators” question-and-answer and networking event
Attendees included Congressman Dan Lipinski (IL-3rd), State Sen. Edward Maloney (D-18th), State Rep. Al Riley (D-38), State Rep. Mary Flowers (D-31st) and State Rep. John O'Sullivan (D-35th)
Chicago (Oct. 19, 2010) Elected officials from the southern Chicago area answered questions from local business leaders about everything from the health care reform bill to Illinois' pension budget shortfall at the fifth annual “Breakfast with your Legislators” event today. The Beverly Area Planning Association and the Blue Island, Evergreen Park and Oak Lawn Chambers of Commerce presented the event. Saint Xavier University hosted the event at its Chicago campus, 3700 W. 103rd St. AT&T sponsored the event.
Congressman Dan Lipinski (IL-3rd), State Sen. Edward Maloney (D-18th), State Rep. Al Riley (D-38), State Rep. Mary Flowers (D-31st) and State Rep. John O'Sullivan (D-35th) attended the event.
Congressman Dan Lipinski (IL-3rd) on opposing the health care reform bill:
"I opposed it because I don't think in the long run it is fiscally sustainable. I think we need to do more to reform the health care system. There's a perverse incentive in our system to keep ordering more and more tests because it's paid for by quantity rather than the quality of care people receive, and I think that's the big reason why we spend so much in this country on health care than other countries without being more healthy. I have not supported repeal. I want reform, I don't want to repeal and have nothing."
State Sen. Edward Maloney (D-18th) on Illinois Monetary Assistance Program grant funding for college students:
"MAP funding has been flat the past several years, we had to go through a major battle to get it funded last spring. I really think the victory in getting it funded was due to students who told their stories and contacted their local legislators, saying 'if this isn't funded I can't go to school.' The problem with MAP is it's currently going to be flat funded again and as the costs go up students have less money to deal with."
State Rep. Al Riley (D-38) on the state's pension funding shortfall:
"It comes from a lot of things – the economic situation that hurt all states equally, but also from neglect. Every time we do a budget, the unfunded pension budget hangs like a sword of Damocles above everyone's head. I think there were some systemic problems with the way we addressed these issues in the past, and you can't do a meaningful budget without looking at how you're going to deal with this $80 billion."
State Rep. Mary Flowers (D-31st) on the housing foreclosure crisis:
"There's a mortgage crisis going on here and a lot of us did not create this crisis. A lot of people have lost their homes because they trusted the people telling them to refinance their homes. We trusted them and we believed in them and we didn't know about all these shenanigans going on, so it's in the state's best interest to make sure that for those who can afford to stay in their homes that we should provide them with a way and a means."
State Rep. John O'Sullivan (D-35th) on the biggest issues in the upcoming veto session:
"I think one of the most important things we're going to face in the veto session are funding for education. Before we go with a tax increase, I think we should consider property tax relief for homeowners."
