Beyond Borders

Prayers for Chile

A first report was received February 27 from Kim King, RSCJ, a member of the US Province, who is serving in the northern sector of Valparaiso, in Viña del Mar, Chile’s fourth largest city. Five other Religious of the Sacred Heart are in community there, working in a Sacred Heart school and youth ministry. Sister King described the earthquake experience as "wild" and said physical damage was minimal there - but that prayers are needed for all those missing…

Today’s news regarding the situation in Haiti

One letter is from Sister Moreno herself, who is presently in Mexico at a conference; and one is from Natividad Hernandez, RSCJ, Provincial of Puerto Rico, and Josefina Ramos, RSCJ, also in Puerto Rico, with news from Josefa Corrada in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Helping Education in Africa - Reaching Together (Spring 2009 update)

class-th.jpgDear 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.
