Saint Madeline Sophie stated that she would have founded the Society of the Sacred Heart for the “sake of a single child”. Because this commitment to the safety and well-being of children is at the heart of our mission, the United States Canada Province stands in strong opposition to the present policy of separating children from their parents as they seek asylum in the United States.

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 moved to New York City and completed my degree in Nursing at Cornell University NY Hospital School of Nursing.
