As Associates and Religious of the Sacred Heart, we watch with horror and heart break the scenes of violence and tragic loss of innocent lives in the Middle East. As people inspired by the Gospel we condemn war and join Pope Francis in demanding that the attacks and weaponry cease. 

The Religious of the Sacred Heart join the Convent and Stuart Hall community, the City of San Francisco and the nation in mourning the passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein, a Sacred Heart alumna. Senator Feinstein lived consistently Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat's invitation to “Children of the Sacred Heart” to extend into the world through their lives the mission of the Society of the Sacred Heart. We are deeply grateful to the Senator for her work on behalf of so many people who needed their voices heard.
