Comments: Good Morning Everyone Below is a request from an SHP alum
Dear Sacred Heart Alumni, I am writing this on behalf of Cristina Echeveria- Moustirats and Christophe Moustirats, Class of SHP ‘90. Their toddler son, Sebastian is in ICU and urgently needs your help. Please take the time to schedule a screening with Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital. Your effort could save his life! Below is a letter from the family, followed by instructions and contact information. With sincerest gratitude, Erin Gillett, SHP ‘90
Dear Family & Friends, We want to send all of you a note to give you an update on Sebastian. About one week ago, Seb started coming down with common flu symptoms and had a rough couple of days trying to fight it (vomiting) but by Saturday he seemed to make a turn for the better and was starting to get his strength back. With several daily calls to his doctor, we felt that Seb should be fine until his doctor appointment on Monday morning. Well, by Sunday he just was not himself, unable to really eat/drink, hold up his head and then had a 45 minute seizure, where he was rushed to the hospital by ambulance at 11pm. Seb is now at Lucille Packard and will be there most likely for several weeks or longer. The doctors saw that he has bleeding throughout his brain and told us he would likely not make it. Incredibly and thankfully, they were wrong. He is stable at the moment and the good news is that the bleeding has not progressed. He is able to move his arms and legs, but at this point we do not know the extent of any permanent brain damage. The neurology team tells us to expect the worse but hope for the best as babies are extremely resilient. He is on daily platelet transfusions to keep his platelet levels up until we have a donor. This is where we would like to ask all of you to please help out in any way that you can, particularly local folks. We'd greatly appreciate it if you could send an email out to your family/friends/network and ask that anyone with A- or O- blood types become a platelet and blood donor for Seb. * THEY ARE NOW REQUESTING ALL BLOOD TYPES Seb is being put into Stanford's Directed Donor Program for blood platelets. He will receive platelet transfusions weekly from a pre-screened list of donors. Ideally, we are looking for up to 6-8 donors to donate their platelets every four weeks on recurring Monday's for up to one year. Direct blood related family members are not eligible donors. We need lots of people to be screened as there is a long list of things that can eliminate one from being an eligible donor. (I won't go into all of them here). He will need platelets weekly to keep him alive until his transplant. The reason for the limited donor list is to minimize the total number of HLA anti-bodies Seb is exposed to from different people. HLA anti-bodies complicate the stem cell transplant (aka bone marrow). Those interested and willing to become a directed donor to Sebastian can contact Carlene Vasques at the Stanford Bood Center, 650-723-6667. Carlene is on vacation the week of 10/13 - 10/18, but she will have a back up to schedule a pre-screening. There is no cost for the screening. All costs will be covered by insurance. Cristina and I would not be able to get through this difficult time without the support and love of family and friends. We are particularly blessed with such incredible grandparents who stay with Seb so often at the hospital to give us time with Landon and to rest. We ask that all of you please keep Seb in your thoughts and prayers.
Comments: Dear Friends: Could find no other place to change my name and address. Would you kindly forward these changes for me. Am currently registered with AASH as Gloria Gillespie Bilik living in Canton, IL 61520. My current name is Gloria Gillespie McConkey living at 316 West Crestwood Drive, Peoria, IL 61614. Thanks kindly.
Comments: Good Afternoon Everyone Below is a message sent to the AASH National Board from Kathleen Simon, our southern regional director. Please continue to keep those who have lost so much due to the devastation of the recent storms and hurricane IKE in your prayers. Remember, we ar Missionaries of the Heart and must continue to carry on the committment of St. Philippine to help those in need whenever possible.
UPDATE ON IKE I have just returned from a Board meeting at the Rosary where of course our concern was focused on our schools in the path of IKE - Grand Coteau and Duchesne in Houston. Our headmaster Dr. Tim Burns has been in text contact with his contemporaries as both schools and it appears that we have avoided catastrophic damages to both campuses. We have offered to assist in any way we can from students to housing; from monetary help to hands on help - we will let you know what the needs are for these two schools. Certainly at the Rosary we have walked a mile in their "pumps" and are forever grateful for the entire Sacred Heart Family. Our prayers go out to all of those effected in Galveston/Houston area and Southwest Louisiana. Sister Muriel Cameron has learned that Grand Coteau has "lots" of tree damage and roof damage to the assembly room and other areas of the building. The damage is said to be significant enough that it is "not something the father's club can fix". The Grand Coteau website is password protected for parents so I could not get the latest official scoop - but will keep you posted. I can do a little better for Houston - Posted on the Duchesne website - as follows: IKE NEWS UPDATE
Comments: Hi, my name is Eleanor. I graduated from The Rosary (in New Orleans) in 2007. I currently attend The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. I have always valued my Sacred Heart education and am still in disbelief that I do not attend anymore. My goal in life is to go back to The Rosary and be a counselor, but until then I feel "homesick," for the society. If anyone is the D.C. area needs help with anything Sacred Heart related, do not hesitate to email me! I would love to be active in the Sacred Heart society!
Comments: Dear Fellow Alumnae, I am a graduate of Carrollton, Miami, Florida 1967. I am writing in hopes that one of you may have the music to a choral piece our Glee Club sang in a public performance in the Miami Bandshell. The piece is "The House of Wisdom" and was a commissioned work at Manhattanville in 1925 for the canonization of St. Madeleine Sophie. I have already checked at Manhattanville (thank you Sandy Horsman) but it was not in their archives. The publisher was also contacted (J. Fischer & Bro., New York). We have been able to come up with the words, but alas, not the music. Perhaps one of you have it in your scrapbook or music bench. I welcome your contacting me at dkbrewer@bellsouth.net. The music is by Theodore Heinroth, words by Sarah Brownson, RSH., Ph.D. Good luck and thanks for checking. Diane
Comments: Class of 1965 Peru We are working in a proyect to travel to the Latin American Reunion in Santiago de Chile South America, and we hope to see more proms of 1965.

Comments: Good Morning Everyone
As we look forward to celebrating the Feast of the Sacred Heart Please hold in your prayers the Kenwood Community and so many alumnae and alumni of the Sacred Heart as they close the last pages of a beautiful, 150 year old story of this very special Convent of the Sacred Heart In the words of Mother Louise Callan spoken in 1937 "Kenwood's history is crowded with deeds of faith and love, high courage and nobility, and sacrifice in its most perfect form"
Kenwood is a special place where so many young women entered the Society of the Sacred Heart and became our Mothers. For the past forty years Kenwood has been a place of peace as so many of our RSCJ went there as a final stop before heaven.
With love and wishes for Happy Trails always, Marcie

Comments: I am the School Archivist at Kincoppal-Rose Bay School of the Sacred Heart in Sydney,NSW Australia and have just had a request from a very dear German friend and I wondered if you could help or know of any new York Alumae/i who could help her find accommodation for her son and his friend. She writes "Do you know somebody or a school in New York where Joachim and his Australian schoolmate, Cameron, could stay from May 19th (the day they come from Toronto) till May 26th (when they will take the train to Washinfton DC)? The young men are 26 and try to find a good place, not too expensive. . . Joachim will leave on April 30th for LA." If you are able to help, please e-mail Joachim's mother. Christiane Ehrenthal direct at this address: ehrenco@web.de and she will get in touch with Joachim. I was the fortunate recipient of the hospitality of this wonderful family at Gottingen when I was in Germany in 2000 so I do hope someone among our worlwide Alumnae family can help in return. Many thanks in advance . Margaret McKay, RSCJ

Please pass this on to others in our extended family. I wish you all a Very Happy New Year filled with peace and love thoughout the world.

There have been many expressions of concern about the situation in Kenya following the presidential elections. Reports mention violence in Nairobi (particularly in Kibera) and in the Eldoret area, where some of our communities are located. We want you to know that our sisters are gathered at the noviceship in Mbiko, Uganda for their Assembly/Chapter which began on Friday, December 28th.
The provincial of Uganda-Kenya, Ursula Bugembe, called Clare Pratt on Tuesday afternoon, January 1, to say that a postulant who was traveling to her community in Uganda was turned back at a roadblock, and has taken refuge in a church in the Eldoret area. Another church in the area has already been burned and a number have been killed or injured. Ursula's plea was to do whatever we could to mobilize international pressure to stop this violence.
Comments: Graduated from the Convent of the Sacred Heart Roscrea, Co. Tipperary in1964 (convent was closed in 1992) I live in the Los Angeles area since 1985 and just found this webpage. Wondering if there is anybody else out there in the area that attended Sacred Heart Roscrea?? Catherine

Comments: I am looking for my best friend from Lawrence Avenue Academy of the Sacred Heart, Detroit, Michigan. Her name is Mary Catherine Ryan. We were students there in the late 40's and early 50's. Her sister Delores-younger- also attended at that time. Their mother died suddenly and she and her sister were sent to Kenwood Academy boarding school. I lost track of her after that. I look at our old pictures from school that Mother Brown took of us and wish I knew what happened to her after Kenwood. I heard that she may have gone on to Manhattenville College. If anyone out there went went to Kenwood with her or knows her whereabouts I would love to hear from you. She would have graduated from Kenwood in 1960. Thanks, Katherine

Nancy has felt the wide embrace of love and support and offers her thanks to all. In the Heart, Jeanne Burke O'Fallon
Comments: Good Morning Everyone
It doesn't seem possible that four months have passed since our National AASH Conference in New York Since that time your National Board of Directors have been working diligently planning for the 2007-2009 biennium. We have made some bold decisions looking toward the future of AASH.
In hopes of keeping you informed, the Esprit de Coeur will be published four times during this biennium. It will contain information on current events in your region, information on the network of schools, updates on the RSCJ"s and the Society's "Mission For Life" Also included will be human interest stories of alums and associations throughout the country. The regional directors will be gleaning information from their associations to include in this very current publication.
In every issue, the Esprit de Coeur will contain information on the 2009 National Conference to be held in Los Angeles April 23-27th, 2009 Make your plans early. Your National Board wants your input so keep in touch. Till me meet again Happy Trails Marcie Amory President AASH National Board of Directors

Comments: I have been receiving the "Share the Spirit!" newsletter for many years and always enjoy all the news and articles. I graduated from the Convent of the Sacred Heart El Cajon in 1965 and have always remembered with fond memories and pride my years as a "Child of the Sacred Heart". It has been through the faith and love I learned from the Religious of the Sacred Heart that I have been able to meet the challenges in my life.
Recently (August 2005), my husband Gerry and I adopted our daughter Marianne's two sons and made them permanently ours. It was a long and stressful struggle (January 2001 to August 2005) but through prayer and support from our friends and family we were able to survive the ordeal and happily start our two little boys on a path of love and stability.
Unfortunately, our daughter, Marianne has not been able to break the hold on her drug addiction and we have not seen her in almost three years. We pray for her everyday and ask God to deliver her from the demons that possess her and return her safely to her family.
We are, however, blessed with her two little boys to raise and love. We are also very fortunate to have our two oldest sons and their families living so close to us. All our efforts to raise our grandsons would not be possible without their support and God's.
May all of my fellow "Children of the Sacred Heart" remember us in their prayers. My life at El Cajon was so very special and I would not trade the love and education I received for anything. May God bless all of you in your special works.
