Celebrating 100 years in the Western American Area
We would like to share with you one of the projects we have done as part of the celebration of the Western American Area Centenary Celebration and the Year of Gailhac. “A Widow’s Transformation” is a Short Film depicting a contemporary issue, connecting Father Gailhac’s insight and charism as relevant for today.
The film is about Carmen, a recent widow whose husband unexpectedly dies of a heart attack. Carmen finds herself in a chaotic whirlwind: growing arguments with her daughter, on the brink of financial ruin of the family business, and personal relationships that just aren’t the same. Carmen is in need of spiritual transformation. With the help of her sister-in-law and through the teachings of Father Gailhac, Carmen must piece together her life one hurdle at a time. Running time: 20 minutes.
Here are the links to the film on RSHMChanel:

“Called to be Community”
As apostolic religious, we believe that community, the witness of unity among people of diverse ages, background, cultures and racial origins, is at the heart of our mission in a fragmented and divided world.
The mission of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary is “to know and love God, to make God known and loved, to proclaim that Jesus Christ has come that all may have life.” Since our founding in 1849, this faith vision of the founder has been implemented in different ways, according to the needs of the times in various cultures. Our Mission Statement today emphasizes our work for those “most in need of justice” and we are especially committed to the empowerment of women and children.
