On December 6, 2020, the United States – Canada Associate Leadership Team hosted a presentation by Sisters Anne-Louise Nadeau, SNDdeN and Patty Chappell, SNDdeN. The presentation introduced Associates, RSCJ and provincial staff to transformational anti-racist values that can help us, the Sacred Heart family, make a shift in our attitudes and actions.
