The 12 Promises in Daily Life
08-11-2019Rev. Kenneth BrighentiDear Friends in Christ,
Now that we have the historical and theological basis for devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I would like to demonstrate how this practice can affect ordinary family life. I recently read about a deadly tornado outbreak on May 31, 1985. It affected parts of Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and Ontario, Canada. Eighty nine people died and more than 1,000 were injured; the damage was estimated over $600 million. In today’s cost of living situation it would be in the billions. A bombed out-battle-field was how one local weather service described the borough of Wheatland, PA.

Can you help?
The Convent was in much need of the back stairs and railing needing repair. It was a safety concern for the Sisters, being that the stairs were not stable. Being that this was an unexpected repair it was not factored in the budget. If you would like to donate towards the repair, we would be so grateful.
