 January 6, 2008 (Feast of the Epiphany)
Dear Heads of School and members of the Sacred Heart family, In the past two weeks we have all been keenly aware of and concerned
about the post-election situation in Kenya. Our province there, which
many of you know through the generous support you have given to help
build Sacred Primary School in Kyamusansala, Uganda, includes both
Uganda and Kenya. Sister Irene Cullen, our USA Mission Support
Coordinator for the Uganda-Kenya Province, and I thought that you would
want to know how the Kenya crisis is impacting the RSCJ there, their
educational mission and the people they serve.

 The Academy of the Sacred Heart is pleased and proud to welcome to its grounds a life-sized, bronze sculpture of Philippine Duchesne by artist Harry Weber. The sculpture, the second one commissioned by the City of St. Charles in its Historic Figures in Bronze Art in Public Places series, was installed December 13 at the corner of Second and Clark Streets. Last spring, a committee of Foundry Art Centre board members, City Council members and a representative from the Society of the Sacred Heart selected Mr. Weber's design from more than 20 submissions. |

"Take a look through one large, glass window and visitors can see milk
being churned into cheese or a wheel of savory Toussaint being rolled
into the ripening room. Take a look through another window and a cow
may very well stare straight back...."

Last month’s article quoted the Annual Letters of 1906-1907-1908 describing the arrival of the colony of RSCJ from Australia who founded the first house of the Sacred Heart in Tokyo in January 1908. Three years later, when it was time to write the circular letter again, the new community had progress to report. They had built a large new building for the boarding school, described as European in style but built according to Japanese methods to withstand earthquakes. They already had 130 pupils. |

The Annual Letters, Third Part, 1906-1907-1908 carried the following account, the first from the new foundation in Tokyo: "It
was at the dawn of this year, 1908, a special year for us all because
of the glorification of our blessed Founder [Madeleine Sophie Barat was
beatified in 1908.] that Japan was finally opened to the ardent zeal
and desires of the spouses of the Sacred Heart. On January 1, the Nikko
Maru cast anchor in the harbor of Yokohama, and the same day Reverend
Mother Salmon [vicar of Australia], accompanied by the founders arrived
in Tokyo…."
