 On the 15th of October, 2006, on a clear, typical beautiful Korean
autumn day, the RSCJs of Korea celebrated the 50th anniversary of their
foundation. From early morning the RSCJs prepared joyfully for the
occasion, placing the artistic display of our various apostolates in
the garden, carrying flower pots, fixing the banners etc.

This month we continue the
series on “Builders of the U.S. Province” with a sketch of the life
of one of Mother Duchesne’s earliest and best-loved pioneer associates,
Adeline Boilvin.
Philippine wrote from Florissant
in 1820: “We now have twenty boarding pupils, most of them docile.”
Among the most docile was Adeline Boilvin. She was born September 24,
1813, in St. Louis of a Creole family engaged in the fur trader; she
had some Osage blood in her veins.

When the novitiate for the Society of the Sacred Heart, U.S.
Province, was moved from 860 Beacon Street to Cambridge, the new house
was named Layton House for the first American to enter and remain in
the Society. Bits of Mary Layton’s story appear in several house
journals, and the whole story, expertly told by Margaret Williams, was
featured in 1988 in the RSCJ Newsletter in a series entitled “Builders
of the U.S. Province.” As we look ahead to 2007, the 25th anniversary
of the U.S. Province, a backward look at some of these builders seems
in order.

Many RSCJ, Sacred Heart Associates and faculty members at Sacred Heart schools who participated in a Spirituality Forum in late July described it as one of the highlights of the summer. The number of participants – nearly 90 – well exceeded expectations, as did the strong presence of non-RSCJ: about half of the total, divided nearly equally between associates and faculty.

“Kensington
is going home,” declared the Detroit Free Press in a recent
report on the merger of Academy of the Sacred Heart, Bloomfield
Hills, Michigan, and Kensington Academy. The schools will begin
reuniting educational programs this fall after twenty-four years
apart. When the merger is complete, Kensington, now situated in
Beverly Hills, Michigan, will return to the 45-acre campus it left in
1982 to become independent.. Bridget Bearss, RSCJ, head of Sacred
Heart, said the schools will build on each other’s strengths.
Bearss will lead the reunited institutions.

Philippine
Duchesne remained just a year at Sugar Creek, but her memory lives
among the Potawatomi people as “the Woman-Who-Always-Prays.” Her
companions remained at Sugar Creek until 1848, when the Potawatomi
moved father into Kansas. The Jesuits established a new mission at St.
Marys, and the RSCJ went with them. The RSCJ stayed at St. Marys until
the Potawatomi moved so far west that there were no longer Native
American pupils in the school they had established.

Have
you ever had the experience of reading something familiar, for example
a chapter of Scripture or a favorite poem, and coming across a few
lines which you swear were never there before; you see the words truly
for the first time? That happened to me two years ago on retreat when I
decided to spend a day reading the original Constitutions of the
Society. Towards the end, after a lengthy section on the three vows,
Sophie notes that, though these are the three sacred vows which bind
religious women to Jesus, still we can never unite ourselves to the
Divine Heart without being united at the same time to one another.

Julie Siderfin, Sacred Heart associate and archivist at the Academy of
the Sacred Heart, St. Charles, Missouri, and Cleta Flynn, St. Charles
County Historical Society member have been working together on academy
history. At Julie’s suggestion Mrs. Flynn wrote an article for St.
Charles County Heritage, bulletin of the historical society, about the
small octagonal chapel on the grounds of the academy that housed
Philippine Duchesne’s remains for almost 100 years. Julie delved into
her records to supply the information and Mrs. Flynn did the same.
What they found created rather than solved a mystery.
