A Jubilee of Profession, like a wedding anniversary, is a time of great rejoicing. A fiftieth jubilee is a time of amazement as well – so many years, so much love, so much faithfulness, such a collection of memories when you look back…and you’ve each lived to tell the tale—as you have been doing with each other for these last several days. Of course, all of us surrounding you join in marking this jubilee with great joy.

"We all know that we are in the midst of a social and cultural
upheaval; a new civilization is being created. Our world, and within
it religious life, is experiencing the pangs of giving birth; it is a
painful and messy moment but also a beautiful and exciting one. What
have touched you during these months are values that, consciously or
unconsciously, humanity is crying for. We are at a turning point in
history, but this time, you and I, all of us, are agents of change. . .
. Every birth is a wondrous mystery (a mystery that inspires wonder)
that calls for a new song…. The history of religious life is a
remarkable story of change, of adaptation, of re-focusing of the
charism and mission; in other words, it is the story of one great act
of giving birth. Our future lies in our capacity, your capacity, to
give birth and thus revitalize our mission and structures across time.
The fate of our Society is in your hands, as it is in ours. Your song,
your incarnational creativity in living out our charism, our mission,
will be an expression of your faithfulness, an act of giving birth."

 Dear Sacred Heart Students and Supporters, In 2002 when the first building of our primary school started to take
shape there were some inquisitive village children visiting the site
each day fascinated by what was happening. Imagine now with 441 sets
of eyes checking on the daily progress of the construction activity for
the classroom block. By the Feast of Mater, thanks to the generosity of
our faithful friends, we were a good way along towards our $500,000
construction goal. So it was thought best to break ground and begin
construction and go as far as possible with the funds on hand- for the
longer we wait the more expensive the project will be. Hopefully by
February 2010 there will be an academic block for the fourteen
classrooms and a much less congested dormitory area. The excitement and
joy at our school would surely warm your good hearts.

Pope Benedict XVI invites all the people of God to join in prayer for vocations on Sunday, May 3, 2009. Pope Benedict has designated this Sunday as the World Day of Prayer for Vocations; his message is attached. The purpose of the World Day of Prayer is explained in the message: to constitute a public witness of the community at prayer in obedience to the Lord's command, 'Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest' (Mt. 9:38; Lk. 10:2).
We invite you to pray with us for vocations to the Society of the Sacred Heart, to other religious orders and to the priesthood on this day. We thank you for praying with us.
