Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
Some of life’s problems are just too big. At least they seem that way to those facing them.
Mission Advancement Advisory Board
You will read about Daniela’s and Janika’s problems in this booklet. And about how, with the help of the Holy Child community, they were able to overcome situations none of us would wish even on our enemies. Not only did they surmount their problems with the help of the Holy Child community, but they both realized what a gift they had been given and, as a result, decided to give back to others as a natural expression of their gratitude. After becoming a citizen, Daniela joined the U.S. Army where her talents have been evident as a surgeon’s assistant. Janika leads seminars in conflict resolution and peer interactions.
Margaret Mary Bell, SHCJ
What a gift they were given and what a gift all of us were given through them. We all live in this world which is a better place because of Daniela and Janika. Maybe some of us will be affected directly by Daniela’s assisting a surgeon in saving the life of someone close to us. Maybe others will receive the gift indirectly by not having to live through a war averted by Janika’s skillful negotiation. And maybe some of us will be inspired to overcome our own problems simply by reading their stories in this booklet. Predicting the effects and myriad beneficial interactions which result from the Holy Child community’s initial acts of kindness and love is impossible. All we can be sure of is that without these acts of kindness or love the transformation in the lives of Daniela and Janika may not have happened and instead of being the subjects of this letter, more than likely both would continue to be the unlucky victims of the world. The gift that was given to Janika and Daniela by the Holy Child community was in fact received by all of us. It simply takes a change in our perspective for us to realize that this is true. Our enlarged perspective may cause us to view Janika and Daniela as our responsibility or it may cause us to want to make the world a better place so that all of us can benefit. Either way, the gift has helped all of us achieve our objective which benefits each of us and the world. The natural expression of our gratitude for these gifts may be to give back, just as Daniela and Janika did. And by giving back, you initiate the next chain reaction of events destined to make this world a better place. Thank you for all that you do for the Holy Child community and for enhancing our collective future. With gratitude,

The SHCJ and our colleagues continue to light the way for those we serve. Through our ministries in underserved areas we provide opportunities for people to access the resources they need to leave dark places behind. Many of those we help are children. In this report, we share the story of Daniela*, a young girl who endured unimaginable pain, as well as Janika, a child forced to grow up too soon. Their stories demonstrate the power of the love, support, and resources that allowed these children to turn their lives around. None of this work would have been possible without you. The pages that follow are a testament to your generosity and to your belief in our mission. The photos you see on this page give a glimpse of the families we serve because of you. I can never thank you enough for your gifts. I assure you of my prayers and those of our Sisters for you and your loved ones. With my gratitude,

The celebratory quilt depicted on our cover was created by our Holy Child community. Each square symbolizes a cherished event and place in the growth of the Society and its influence on those we have touched. The squares, organized and stitched together, tell us a story…a story of hope. While the stories may vary, the guiding light is the same. It is the spirit we inherited from our foundress, Cornelia, a spirit of reverence for each person, a spirit that encouraged each one to be the person God wants him or her to be.
Mary George O’Reilly, SHCJ Rosemont College ’38

Michael’s Garden When the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus arrived in Chicago, the Shugrue family was among their earliest supporters. All the children attended St. Ignatius School in Rogers Park. Michael, a 1948 graduate of St. Ignatius, achieved success as a writer, professor, and academic dean, always crediting his faith and scholarship to the SHCJ. Michael shared a strong bond with the Class of 1948. He passed away in 2010, but even now, 65 years after he graduated from St. Ignatius, his classmates remember Michael fondly. To create a lasting tribute to Michael and the SHCJ, which he loved dearly, Michael’s classmates proposed the idea of creating a memorial garden at New Sharon in Rosemont, PA. Under Jim Mooney’s leadership, 18 members of the Class of 1948 contributed more than $1,300 for the project.

Today visitors to the province offices at New Sharon pass Michael’s Garden. It rests at the top of a hill with native plants, flowers and grasses that are both visually interesting and care-free. The garden requires minimal mowing, fertilizing, and watering and has become a haven for birds and butterflies. Those who visit the garden find peace and tranquility as they admire its natural state and beauty.

Patchwork Quilt Marks 150 Years of History When the first Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus arrived in America in 1862, they began a journey that took them across the United States and beyond. To mark these 150 years of service, the Holy Child community created the patchwork quilt shown on the cover. It illustrates the many ministries and places in which the Society has been engaged since those first sisters arrived from England.

Stitch by stitch and piece by piece, Marian Kennedy Voorhees sewed together all the squares and in the process, the journey of 150 years came to life. Ms.Voorhees is an alumna of the former St. Leonard’s Academy in Philadelphia, PA, founded by the Society in1867. The quilt was unveiled at the Society’s Province Gathering in Philadelphia last October and is now available for display. For more information, contact Pat Hope at
[email protected]. Above Left: During the Associates’ June 2012 Gathering, Holy Child Sisters and SHCJ Associates enjoyed finding their schools on the quilt. Left: Center detail of quilt featuring the Holy Child. Photo by Michael Leslie.

On October 28, 2012, the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus hosted a Mass of Appreciation in Rosemont, PA for those who have shared their time, talent, and financial resources with the Society. The newest members of the Cornelian Society, Stephanie Walsh Beilman and Madeline Sherry, were recognized during a pinning ceremony that followed Mass. Members of the Cornelian Society have left a legacy gift (bequest, trust, or will) to the SHCJ. These gifts ensure that the love these individuals have for the Society will continue beyond their lifetime and allow the Society to live out Cornelia’s “meeting the wants of the age” for years to come.

Cornelia Connelly Digital Library
The creation of the Library began in 2009 under the direction of Eileen McDevitt, SHCJ, Director of the Holy Child Network of Schools, and was launched in 2012. (The Holy Child Network of Schools is an association of 10 Catholic, independent elementary and secondary schools founded by the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus.) A committee of teachers from the schools in the Network reviewed and scanned hundreds of documents related to Cornelia’s life and the Holy Child legacy and organized all of the content into a user-friendly website available to all. Visit the library at
www.corneliaconnellylibrary.org where you will have unrestricted access to a comprehensive repository of materials. To ensure that Cornelia’s message will impact generations to come, additional monetary contributions are needed. The Sisters invite you to enjoy the Digital Library and encourage friends and visitors to preserve the SHCJ history by making a donation.

Honoring Those Who Light the Way On Thursday, March 14, 2013, the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus held their fifth annual Awards Dinner at the Radisson Hotel Valley Forge in King of Prussia, PA. Mrs. Marianne Grace was honored with the Faith in Action Award, and Mr. Christopher McNabb received the Holy Child Spirit Award. Both Marianne and Christopher embody the theme of the evening, “Lighting the Way.” For more than two decades, Mrs. Grace has held key positions in Pennsylvania’s Delaware County and currently serves as the County’s Executive Director. Mrs. Grace was a trustee of Holy Child Academy, Drexel Hill, and her children, Ryan (in 1998) and Kelly (in 2000), graduated from the school. Mr. McNabb is the youngest person to be honored with the Holy Child Spirit Award. He is a 2001 graduate of the Rosemont School of the Holy Child and currently serves as the Director of Campus Ministry at St. Augustine Prep, Richland, NJ.
Anita Coll, Head of Holy Child Academy in Drexel Hill, introduced Photo caption award winnerher Marianne Graceforand presented with the Faith in Action Award. 16
Lighting the Way: Daniela’s Story Daniela’s aunt vowed that her niece would remain in the United States. Faced with protecting Daniela and operating within immigration laws, this kind woman sought help from the Casa Cornelia Law Center (CCLC) founded in San Diego by the Sisters of the Holy Child in 1993.
The sixth annual Holy Child Awards Dinner will be held on Thursday, March 20, 2014, in Los Angeles.Visit the Society’s American Province website at www.shcj. org/american for the latest information on the event.
Andrea Santos, Children’s Program Director (left) and volunteer attorney Amy Chang (right) congratulate Daniela (center) on completing her basic training. Mary Ann Buckley, SHCJ welcomed guests at the Awards Dinner and thanked them for their presence and support. Maya Brown-Hunt ’13 from Holy Child Academy in Drexel Hill gave the evening’s invocation.
Elizabeth Dallara ’13 from Rosemont School of the Holy Child offered the grace Photo caption for award winner following the invocation by Maya Brown-Hunt.
Born in Columbia, Daniela was abandoned at the age of four by her mother and placed in the care of relatives. But the “care” she received was anything but kind and compassionate. By the time Daniela was nine years old, she was living in a nightmare of abuse in the home of her aunt and uncle. At the age of 17, she visited a relative in California and discovered a kinder side of life. Within the safety of her aunt’s home in California, she began to share her story, allowing in those who could bring light into her life.
Mary Ann Buckley, SHCJ presented Christopher McNabb with the Holy Child Spirit Award. Anne Phyllis Ryan, SHCJ (M. M. Julian) introduced Christopher via video.
CCLC staff met a teenager who was traumatized, frightened, and withdrawn. They realized that Daniela would be eligible to obtain Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), entitling her to a green card. The staff would have to work quickly to submit Daniela’s application before she turned 18 and was no longer eligible. Daniela’s aunt was appointed her legal guardian and the SIJS application was completed. Although the process was fraught with roadblocks, the determination of the CCLC staff was more than a match for the obstacles.
Lighting the Way: Janika’s Story When Janika was a fourth grade student at the Washington Middle School for Girls (WMSG), teachers struggled to address her behavioral issues. Janika was not able to express what was causing her so much pain. Eventually, one teacher reached through to Janika. The door opened ever so slightly, and slowly, Janika began to express herself. Janika’s responsibilities at home were weighing heavily on her. Because her mother worked full-time, Janika ran the household. She was responsible for getting her younger sister to daycare and then walking a mile farther to WMSG. It was no wonder she had no time to complete her homework!
Janika excels at a top-tier charter school in Washington, D.C. She works as a Junior Counselor at the WMSG Summer Program where she leads seminars in conflict resolution and peer interaction. The Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus founded the Washington Middle School for Girls in partnership with the Religious of Jesus and Mary and the National Council of Negro Women in 1998.
Daniela received her green card in October 2011. She joined the U.S. Army, completed basic training, was accepted into a medical training program, and works as a surgeon’s assistant. *Name changed for confidentiality.
WMSG staff listened and acted. Teachers volunteered to pick Janika up in the morning and drop her off in the afternoon to decrease the time she spent walking each day. To lighten Janika’s responsibilities, the school’s leadership connected the family with resources that allowed them to improve their financial and housing situations. Janika was soon able to focus on being a child. Her attitude improved and so did her grades. She admits that “WMSG taught me to be a lady and take care of myself.”
Janika beams as she graduates from the Washington Middle School for Girls.

West Philadelphia Catholic Girls High School Alumnae Show Their Appreciation Members of West Philadelphia Catholic Girls High School’s Class of 1961 have fond memories of their high school years and the Sisters who contributed to their intellectual, social and spiritual growth. The Sisters of the Holy Child were among the many congregations of women religious who taught there. Fifty years after graduating, the Class of ’61 wanted to show their appreciation for the education they received. They collected contributions from classmates and sent donations to each of the communities of sisters who made up West Catholic’s faculty. The Sisters of the Holy Child used their donation to purchase two La-Z-Boy recliners for the sitting room at Holy Child Center.
