In the wake of yet another mass shooting at an American School, the leadership of the Society of the Sacred Heart in the Unites States - Canada Province joins its voice to those of the surviving students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, and people of good will from all faiths across this country, who are demanding an end to the legislative paralysis that prevent common sense gun control from being enacted in this country.

In the Spring of 2008, Sr. Ursula Bugembe, the Provincial of the UGK Province, wrote to Kathy Conan, the US provincial, to ask if it would be possible to invite me to the Uganda/Kenya Province to be an elder sister in community and to offer spiritual accompaniment as well as to serve in one of the Society ministries in the province. When Kathy approached me about this request, I felt very energized! It was one of those moments of clarity that needed little discernment. As a young child at Academy of the Sacred Heart in St.

While I was still teaching (Buffalo 1970) – though not certifiable yet, I was asked by Ev Kane RSCJ, responsible for studies in the New York Province, if I would like to continue my education as a teacher or if I would like to become a nurse. I had started to do volunteer work at a hospital in Buffalo and really liked the care of patients. I come from a medical family. My response was to choose nursing. I moved to New York City and completed my degree in Nursing at Cornell University NY Hospital School of Nursing.

In 1987, Helen McLaughlin came to the US for an LCWR meeting in Niagra Falls. She invited me to lunch by the falls. It was time for me to think of a change of ministry. “I know you’ve always wanted to serve outside the country, Nance. How about Indonesia?” “We’re not in Indonesia.

In 1964 as college graduation and the next step in my life approached, I made a weekend retreat to pray about what next. I wanted to enter but I knew in my gut that it was too soon. I was interested from an easy age in “missionary life” in another country. At that time there was a Sacred Heart Society lay missionary program. As I read the journal MITTE ME, I felt the answer was to apply to be sent struck to a country where our sisters has missionary work. This inspiration was confirmed by Sister Cavanagh who was in charge of my senior class.

It is easy for me to write about what it means to be a missionary in the spirit of Philippine. I entered back in 1951 on November 17th for the feast of Blessed Philippine and felt a deep attraction to her spirit of prayer and austerity even then. Later in the 1950’s, after my vows, I heard an Egyptian Jesuit talk about his missionary vocation suddenly taking hold at God’s words to Abraham,” Quitte ton pays” (Leave your country). I felt on fire, as if they were also spoken to me. It took 20 years of nagging and the 1970 General Chapter to achieve it but in 1971 I was sent to Uganda.

The Missions were never a general calling for me, but when I was a first year novice I did receive a call from God to go to Sweden. Never mind that we had no house there or that I had never thought about Sweden at all and had no contact with that country. The call was specific, not just to any mission country where we might send personnel. I told this to the mistress of novices and was told that we don’t send novices to the missions, and that we did not have a house there in Sweden. I replied that the house or lack of one had not been part of the invitation, which I had accepted.

My sense that God was calling me to the msns began when I was in 1st grade. We were reading a Holy Childhood magazine about the ‘pagan babies’ in China. When we finished, I knew that God was calling me to be a missionary in Africa. It was a conviction that never left me. When, as a senior in high school, I spoke to Rev Mer Barry about entering the Society, I told her this. Her response was simply, “If God wants you to go to the missions, he’ll send you.” Studying for a doctorate in anthropology, I chose to do my fieldwork in Africa.
