  3    Annual Report, 2019 – 2020
Inspirational Giving ANNUALREPORT | 2019-2020 - IHM Sisters
Dear friends of the congregation,
We are pleased to present the 2019 — 2020 Annual Report, as has been our practice.
While the report focuses on your generous inspirational giving that supports our life
and mission, it is difficult to present such a report without reflecting on this past year.
Certainly, it has been a year like no other. At this time last year, we were looking forward
to various celebrations of the 175th year since our founding in 1845. Needless to say, they
did not happen. Instead, like our brothers and sisters throughout the world, we found
ourselves face-to-face with two pandemics — COVID and that of systemic racism.

For months, we were sheltering in place, staying home to stay safe. It is a practice that
our residents in IHM Senior Living Community (IHM SLC) continue in order to keep
everyone safe and healthy. The powerhouse of prayer within IHM SLC was enhanced
by the prayer ministry of our sisters. Each week, we held a Zoom call with sisters and
associates not living at the senior living community during which we became aware
of other efforts to create a sense of community. These efforts are shared in an article
in this report. Our staff within IHM SLC have worked hard to ensure the health of
our residents. Unfortunately, we have had some COVID cases among our staff and
several residents. During this past year, we suffered the loss of life of three sisters
and an associate, due to COVID. We have been saddened by the loss of these lives
and those of hundreds of thousands of our brothers and sisters.

Following the death of George Floyd, we renewed our efforts to deal with systemic
racism. We did so within our personal lives, our communal life and by working
with others to eliminate systemic racism within our Church and society. You will
notice in each issue of ihmpact that we are inviting the voice of others to share their
insights and experiences as we try to understand the experience of racism and deal
with our complicity at times when confronted with this reality.

We creatively celebrated the jubilees of 18 of our sisters in July. Sisters and associates
were invited to share video greetings that were combined and shown to the jubilarians
at a luncheon with small groups at the tables. We also completed the renovation of a
wing of our facility to create 19 apartments for lay residents who desire to join our
Life Plan Community. To this point, 13 residents moved into 11 apartments and are
looking forward to the time when they can join the rest of the residents for liturgies
and other activities. In Detroit, the Marygrove Conservancy continues to grow with
the construction of a state-of-the-art early childhood center. The IHM commitment
to education and to the city of Detroit is coming alive in new ways.

Through these months, your inspirational giving enabled our life and mission to
continue. There was no “shut-down” in your giving, as evidenced by your responses
during this past year to our annual appeals. They gave evidence of your commitment
and belief in the IHM mission and presence in our world. Theresa Maxis, IHM, and
Louis Florent Gillet, CSsR, our co-founders, faced some challenging times during the
initial years. Let us rely on their gifts of courage and openness to the Spirit as we face
the challenges of today. Thank you for your inspirational giving and for your continued
prayerful support. Know that we continue to hold you and your families in our prayers.

Gratefully,

Mary Jane Herb, IHM
President

Keeping In Community
                                   During Quarantine
          The following are highlights of how some lifted spirits and handled the “new normal” of this pandemic;
    from making masks, to adjusting in ministry and finding creative ways to keep in touch. While each of us experienced
       the pandemic in different ways, efforts to keep a sense of community abounded. Our shared experience during
                              these unprecedented times has brought our community closer.

MASKED WONDER
Sister Gretchen Webb and her certified therapy dog,
Gretel, were set to begin a new job together in March.
The coronavirus pandemic derailed that plan.
One evening on the news, she saw a report regarding
the burgeoning need for face masks. She had sewing
experience, a sewing machine and material on-hand.
She bought a supply of elastic and turned to the internet
for patterns and a tutorial.
“The first one took me more than two hours to make,”
she recalls. “I got faster and finished 45 masks over the
weekend, which I dropped off at IHM Senior Living
Community (IHM SLC).”
People who heard about her effort began donating material.
Sister Gretchen has made masks for friends and family
throughout the continental United States and Puerto Rico —
almost 800 and counting. She now makes masks in bulk,
working on 35-40 at one time. Supplying IHM SLC has
been a priority; she’s delivered approximately 350 for use
by residents and employees and plans to continue making
masks in anticipation of volunteers returning.
“Orders kept coming in” she laughs, “so I kept sewing.
It’s been nice to do something during this pandemic
that’s helpful.”                                                 TOP: Sister Gretchen Webb and her certified therapy dog, Gretel;

SOAR! Grant and Generous
                                     Donation Received
                   In February 2020, we submitted a $25,000 grant request to SOAR! – Support Our Aging Religious –
                             to aid in the purchase of a 2021 Ford E-350 Econoline handicap accessible van.

Our previous van needed to be replaced and limited our
ability to accommodate more than one regular sized
wheelchair. Due to this limitation, we had to outsource
transportation services to accommodate larger wheelchairs.

In June, we were delighted to learn we were awarded the
entire amount requested from SOAR! to be used toward
the purchase of a new handicap accessible van. We
were also fortunate to receive a $50,000 gift from a
very generous family, wishing to remain anonymous,                                                                        Chauffer, Sister Mary Jane Herb

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the community has
not been able to use the van to its fullest potential.
However, on Dec. 18, Sister Mary Jane Herb donned
her chauffeur cap and took a group of sisters on a
Christmas lights tour of Monroe. They were the first
to enjoy the benefits of the new van and experience
the comfort and ease in which they traveled. As
restrictions decrease, the van will be used to its full
potential and provide safe, non-emergency transportation
for our sisters. It will also meet various transportation
needs, such as physician appointments, chemotherapy,
dialysis, shopping trips and special outings, boosting
emotional well-being, keeping our sisters happier
and healthier as well as increasing camaraderie.

“We are grateful for the generous support of the family
and SOAR! that allowed us to purchase this vehicle,” said
Richard DeLoof, Director of Development. “The van will

IHM SLC Independent Living
                      Apartment Residents Move In!
           Nov. 30, 2020, was a milestone day! Pauline Boucher moved into her new two-bedroom apartment on the
    IHM Motherhouse campus. We captured the excitement as boxes and furniture were unloaded from the moving trucks.
    Family members and friends, moving companies and IHM staff assisted six residents as they moved into their new home
       the first week in December. Residents tell us they are happy to be living here in a majestic, LEED-certified historic
               building, lovingly restored and renovated for comfortable, safe, environmentally responsible living.

The opening of our new independent
living with its 19 brand new apartments
is part of IHM Senior Living Community,
a Life Plan Community. The area’s
only Life Plan Community, we provide
complete accommodations for aging
with grace — that means independent
living with the confidence that if more
advanced support is ever needed, it
can be provided onsite.

In addition to unpacking, figuring out
furniture arrangements, where to hang
pictures and getting computers set up,
residents are also spending time getting
to know each other. Residents look
forward to a monthly meeting at which
they can ask questions, receive updates
about upcoming programs and share
suggestions. They are also getting to
know Monroe: finding the grocery
store, post office, hardware store
and other local services. The new
residents hail from Wisconsin, Sterling
Heights, Monroe and Kalamazoo.

                     in their retirement years knowing they have a place to live together
                     in IHM Senior Living Community. Your support also inspires those

                     from friends like you. We look forward to a round of golf as we
