Dear Members of the Sacred Heart Community,

The Provincial Leadership Team of the Society of the Sacred Heart, United States – Canada Province affirms and supports the statement released by The Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR):

The Society of the Sacred Heart, United States – Canada Province Leadership Team stands in support of the following powerful “Red Record Statement” issued by the National Black Sisters’ Conference on “21st Century Lynchings in America.”
