As of mid-May, five RSCJ had formed a community at Teresian House, a skilled care facility in Albany, New York, operated by the Carmelite Sisters of the Aged and Infirm. Although Teresian House is a large facility – 300 residents – it is divided into "neighborhoods" of fifteen to twenty residents, each with its own living and kitchen/dining area. Daily activities take place in these areas. They are comfortably furnished in various styles to simulate home environments. Each resident has a private room and bath. A large, bright chapel is situated on the first floor.

Elizabeth White, RSCJ, will receive an honorary degree from Boston College on May 22 in recognition of her lifelong commitment as a Religious of the Sacred Heart to the ministry of teaching. Sister White, a specialist in English literature, has spent more than five decades in higher education at Newton College of the Sacred Heart in Boston and at Boston College. She holds a doctoral degree from Catholic University in Washington D.C.

"Deus Caritas Est has been a happy surprise in every way both for what it contains and what it does not," wrote Kathleen Hughes, RSCJ, in a reflection on the first encyclical by Pope Benedict XVI, Deus Caritas Est, or "God is Love," promulgated on December 25, 2005.
