8 Page 1, Q3. Please rate the following elements about the content of the Theological Reflection Day: 1 Pat Ragone is so knowledgeable and I loved her experiential stories as they related to Catholic Social Tradition within Church teaching. 2 Please continue these types of days. They are so enriching, and just what I needed to become more aware of the various ministries within the Midatlantic congregation. Thaanks so much. Jan 21, :54 AM Jan 20, :38 AM 3 Thank you I appreci Sr. Pat's presentation Jan 16, :07 PM 4 Thank you! Jan 16, :02 PM 5 Pat was very good and entertaining at times. She is a great teacher. Jan 16, :03 PM 6 I t was a really great learning experience. I have heard it all before but it was so organized and well presented that I believe I could talk about it with persons who were unable to attend and wanted to know more. 7 Pat was superb and the panel added so much to the conversation. Whole day was outstanding. Thank you!! 8 The presentation and panel discussion were truly enlightening, encouraging and life-giving. 9 Although "nothing brand new" was presented, I found the presentation and the day enriching and a great opportunity to take the time to reflect on how Jesus calls us to respond to needs of our part of the world and society. Jan 16, :34 AM Jan 15, :40 PM Jan 15, :50 AM Jan 15, :24 AM 10 The sharing by the panel members was excellent! Jan 14, :23 AM 11 I remember teaching the Catholic Social Teachings in Grammar School through the history books. Jan 14, :12 AM 12 The Sisters on the panel were excellent with their reflections ad presentations. Jan 13, :54 PM 13 S.Pat was excellent! She was clear, concise, and very knowledgeable. Thank you, Pat. 14 I expected the panel to be a response to the presentations, not a description of the panelists' ministries. 15 We had just done something in the parish about Catholic Social Teaching. So I put agree because it was already very fresh in my mind. Pat was very good. 16 Pat is an excellent teacher and her presentation with her examples from her experience made Catholic Social Tradition very clear. The handout is a keeper for further reflection. 17 I especially enjoyed the table conversations and panel. The stories shared deepened my understanding of Catholic Social Tradition as it has been lived in Mercy community 18 As a Mercy Associate with a strong background in theology, I was thrilled with the hospitality, high quality and contemporary relevance of this informative and reflective gathering. Jan 13, :29 PM Jan 13, :26 AM Jan 13, :58 AM Jan 13, :41 AM Jan 13, :03 AM Jan 12, :12 PM 8

Jan 12, :46 PM 29 Thank you for one of the best theological reflection days I have ever attended. I am so luck and proud to be a Sister of Mercy. 30 S. Pat's presentation with opportunities to reflect and participate were placed just right.. Jan 12, :37 PM Jan 12, :47 AM 31 thank you very much.

10 Page 1, Q4. Please rate the following elements about the logistics of the Theological Reflection Day: 1 I would have liked to hear a continuation of the presentation for, at least, part of the time in the afternoon. 2 THE EXPERIENCE FOR ME WAS THOUGHT PROVOKING & DREW ME DEEPER INTO REFECTION OF MINISTRY. Jan 17, :32 PM Jan 17, :04 AM 3 I wonder if this could be at another time of the year rather than January Jan 16, :03 PM 4 I had planned to stay only for the morning; however the morning was so good I stayed for the whole time. Jan 16, :34 AM 5 Day flowed very nicely and moved along well. Jan 15, :40 PM 6 I am so grateful for the presentation on Catholic Social Tradition. The presenter was amazing. I would have liked to have some reflection time. The morning session was long. I know we were told to take breaks as needed but considering the valuable input, it didn't seem appropriate to take a personal break. Jan 15, :15 PM 7 What a gratifying and profitable day. Jan 15, :50 AM 8 thank you for these invaluable experiences. Jan 14, :23 AM 9 The whole day was well balanced and not rushed. Jan 13, :41 AM 10 Item 4 a is conceptually repetitious and thus provides little or no evaluative information distinct from that elicited from Item 4b. Thus, the items in this section are conceptually duplicative. Jan 12, :12 PM 11 The flow of the day was very good. 10 till 3 was perfect. Jan 12, :44 PM 12 The creativity and inspiration of the opening prayer was so inspiring and thought provoking. 13 S.Pat did a marvelous job. She was well prepared, easy to listen to, most informative and gave much to reflect on. The panel members were excellent as well. 14 Leaving the room for dinner was a nice change. Long hours on a folding chair gets harder each time. 15 The flow of the day was very good and the 10 to 3 p.m. was timely. Also the 45 minutes forlunch was ample. However, the GYM was very cold even with layers and winter coat. So be it...cannot have everything!! Thank you.! 16 The flow of the day was very good and the 10 to 3 p.m. was timely.

11 Page 1, Q4. Please rate the following elements about the logistics of the Theological Reflection Day: 19 Overall excellent day. Jan 12, :47 AM Page 2, Q1. I was able to watch the video: 1 saw it in person Jan 13, :23 AM 2 Trouble with my IPad, but I do intend to watch it. Jan 12, :57 PM Page 2, Q4. Comments about the video: 1 I appreciated the update - I tend to forget some of these things Jan 16, :05 PM 2 Comment on the preparatory video: I watched only half because I couldn't get it to work after that. Your video or my computer?? 3 Excellent...Pat used some of the pictures in the closing prayer service which was a nice touch... Jan 13, :29 AM Jan 12, :49 PM Page 2, Q5. Suggestions for future videos: 1 Spirituality of the Psalms... Palliative and Hospice Care Jan 12, :49 PM 11

12 Page 3, Q1. The Theological Education Day was worthwhile and informative. 1 Pat Ragone was excellent in her presentation and I learned a lot about the Catholic Social Tradition within the teachings of the Church. I enjoyed the mention of a number of encyclicals and how well Pat explained them. Jan 21, :03 AM 2 VERY!!! Jan 15, :51 AM 3 Pat Talone was excellent. The set up for the day was very good. Jan 15, :54 AM 4 The presenter was excellent! Jan 14, :15 AM 5 One of the best days! Jan 13, :42 AM 6 It was very informative because I don't minister or deeply study in that field Jan 13, :32 AM 7 I have vision problem. If lights were turned off during viewings, that might be helpful. Jan 13, :55 AM 8 This was like finding water after a long journey in a diocesan desert. Jan 12, :23 PM 9 I found it to be the best one yet. Jan 12, :47 PM 10 Absolutely... great topic, excellent presenter and I like the way Pat pullled together some information from the Encyclicals and the Church. Jan 12, :23 PM 11 It was a very good pace for me. Jan 12, :00 PM 12 Pat Talone is dynamic in her presentation Jan 12, :18 PM 13 It was an informative & enjoyable day! Many thanks! Jan 12, :15 PM 14 While I always enjoy the church's best kept secret, the topic could have been shaped to connect better with Mercy life in the MAC. 15 It was excellent! Just the right combination of input, reflection and sharing at the tables. Jan 12, :57 AM Jan 12, :23 AM 12

13 Page 3, Q2. Improvements for future Theological Education Days: 1 Different time of the year Jan 16, :07 PM 2 well planned Jan 14, :25 AM 3 Continue to weave the critical concerns into the theological education days. Jan 13, :58 PM 4 Heat in the gym at Merion was very low!!! Too cold for most of us! Jan 13, :49 PM 5 No panel and more time for questions/comments from the body Jan 13, :33 AM 6 I liked the panel and I'd like to hear more about the Sisters endeavors in this field. Jan 13, :25 AM 7 please continue these days. Invite other communities. Bring lunch to cut costs. Jan 13, :32 AM 8 Shorter day Perhaps morning only. Jan 13, :06 AM 9 Provide participants with copies -- if they wish them -- of the Power Point. Jan 12, :23 PM 10 Break in between the hour talk. Jan 12, :58 PM 11 Small matter-the chairs at Merion were uncomfortable. Jan 12, :10 PM 12 Keep to the same time frame 10 to 3 p.m. Jan 12, :23 PM 13 This was the best day that we have had. Keep this type of format. Jan 12, :17 PM 14 More speakers like Pat Talone. Afternoon session is not necessary Jan 12, :18 PM 15 The format was excellent Jan 12, :19 PM 16 I find the date in early January difficult. I don't think the day received much advance "press". The crowd was small. 17 Explore theological concepts vis-a-vis another discipline,e.g., science, psychology, art, economics Jan 12, :01 PM Jan 12, :57 AM 18 Liked the pattern of the January Days. Jan 12, :50 AM 19 the chairs at Merion were not adequate for the length of the presentation Jan 12, :45 AM 20 Will just the slides be available on the internet site? Jan 12, :29 AM 13

14 Page 3, Q3. My suggestions for topics and presenters for future Theological Education Days: 1 Mission and the Mercy Charism Consecrated Life Jan 21, :03 AM 2 Please continue these days. They are so beneficial. Jan 20, :43 AM 3 Continue using our own sisters! Great was Pat! Ellen Murray might be another voice to hear1 Jan 13, :49 PM 4 Golden years, slowing down and theological learnings for that period of life Jan 13, :33 AM 5 Connection between theology and science, breaking down barriers. Energy connections to point us toward the Christ. Jan 13, :32 AM 6 non-violence 12step spirituality Jan 12, :58 PM 7 Focus on documents of Vatican II with some effort to elucidate why Vatican II has basically been ignored by "Mother Church" for the past several decades. 8 Women in Scripture and their influence on the development of Christianity. Speaker: Joan Chittister 9 Decisions re end of life issues may be interesting both personally, and re community and re some families who have dimenmas in this regard. Pat Talone or Peter Clark S.J. (renowned ethicist from SJU) Jan 12, :23 PM Jan 12, :58 PM Jan 12, :23 PM 10 Something on the Scripture of Saint John Jan 12, :19 PM 11 Spirituality of dreams Teilhard de Chardin & life in the 21st century Spirituality of Ecology Jan 12, :57 AM 12 Islam and Christianity Jan 12, :24 AM 14

15 Page 3, Q5. I like the timing of the Theological Education Days in January. 1 But there is always a possibility of snow. Jan 21, :03 AM 2 Fortunately the weather was good! Jan 16, :10 PM 3 March or October Jan 16, :07 PM 4 I find it hard so close to the holidays, but I think any time is tough with our busy lives. 5 I like January just not so early in January - more toward the end or even early Feb. = weather permitting Jan 16, :05 PM Jan 15, :41 PM 6 depending on the weather Jan 14, :25 AM 7 February instead of January Jan 13, :25 AM 8 Would you ever think about October? Just a suggestion. Jan 12, :10 PM 9 The day was a good pick up after the holidays. Thank you. Jan 12, :23 PM 10 ' Jan 12, :00 PM 11 We were lucky with no snow or rain but it was very cold. Jan 12, :13 PM 12 Mid-February or the summer Jan 12, :01 PM 13 Summer Jan 12, :57 AM 14 April Jan 12, :57 AM 15 Mayabe later in the month, or early February The weather is so chancy...but February can be just as bad. Jan 12, :29 AM 16 october Jan 12, :28 AM 17 Perhaps not so early in the month. Jan 12, :21 AM 15
