On September 9, 2007, several RSCJ joined Juana Resto and her friends at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston for her Golden Jubilee Celebration. It was an honor and a joy for us to join the community of folks from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic and other Hispanic countries to rejoice with Juana. She has served with them for over 30 years in Boston's South End. Juana was the last RSCJ to continue this ministry which started about 1970 when a group of RSCJ moved from Newton to Pembroke Street and eventually opened Casa del Sol.

Juana now lives at Kenwood where she had joined other RSCJ for another jubilee celebration.
