May 30: Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

At that time Jesus exclaimed,
I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for hiding these things from the learned the clever and revealing them to mere children.

May 25: Feast of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat
Foundress of the Society of the Sacred Heart

I am the true vine
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes
to make it bear even more.

Congrès Apostolique Mondial de la Miséricorde (WACOM)

Nous étions 7 rscj à participer à ce premier congrès de la Miséricorde qui réunissait à Rome, et plus précisément dans l’Eglise de St Jean de Latran, plus de 4000 personnes de tous continents, en ce début du mois d’avril !

El 18 de febrero tuvo lugar la tan deseada audiencia de los consejos ejecutivos de la Unión de superiores generales (USG) y de la Unión Internacional de superioras generales (UISG) con Su Santidad Benedicto XVI. 

January 26, 2008 was a day of joy and pride for the sisters of the Society of the Sacred Heart, Indian Province, and the staff and students of Sophia College for Women, Mumbai, and of CWD, Torpa. 

Betsy Hartson rscj and a co-worker from Living Wages joined the demonstrators who protested at the Supreme Court on the sixth anniversary of the opening of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

It is quiet now in the compound of the Lyceée du Sacré Coeur N’Djamena. Asunta Clausen, the area superior, and Juliette N’Guemta, Chadian rscj, have returned to the school compound in order to begin to clean up. The school and community buildings have not been looted. The sisters can once more be reached by phone.

It was in June 2007 that Sr. Koko Nagano and the Provincial Council began to prepare the Centenary. We knew that Koko’s intention was to make the ceremony a very simple one, considering the present day situation and the ages of our RSCJS. The ceremony was divided into two parts: the Centennial Mass and the Tea Party.
