USA Mission Office

Jim Miller wwrites:  The USA MSC are now establishing our own Mission Office, which we will try to model on the Australian Office listed in this post. We are limiting our focus to Clean Water at this time, where we want to mainly get projects from the Americas. Please pray that we are able to get our MSC Mission Office off the ground so that we can continue to be an effective witness to the love that the Sacred Heart has for our world. 

Joane Sigarara  Pacific Retreat

The MSC Fiji District annual retreat began on the evening of 22nd May and ended on the Feast of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart at Wailoku Formation Centre. Fr Ioane Sigarara MSC offered daily retreat sessions and reflections and guided the members in deepening their relationship with God.

Fr Sigarara is not new to us although he is a member of the MSC US Province. He hails from Macuata in Vanua Levu, Fiji. He was a formator in Wailoku back in 1999 and the director of AAFR Centre in Nabua. He moved to the US and became a member of the MSC US Province prior to a request to the US Provincial. He served as a US Military Chaplain with the US Army until his retirement a year ago.

Accompanying the MSC presence in South Sudan.

For almost two years Alan Neville MSC (Ireland) has been making present the 'WHOLE' MSC congregational in this long-suffering country. Superior General, Abzalon, visited Sudan.

The mission is carried out in a wonderful and prophetic project of education and integral promotion, especially of young women. This project has been founded by the Sisters of Loreto, who together with a group of lay people struggle day by day to build and transform this challenging and complex, but at the same time, beautiful reality.

Alan Neville is also a significant presence in the diocese of Rumbek, mainly from the Catholic University of Rumbek.

This accompaniment of the Superior General included a visit to the FDNSC sisters who are in another challenging area of this diocese.
