From May 26–28, Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology was honored to welcome representatives of SCJ ministries from across the US Province to our campus for LEAD, a leadership formation program rooted in Dehonian spirituality. Following last summer’s pilot program, this marked the third LEAD retreat cohort.
During their time in retreat, participants visited our retired SCJs at Sacred Heart at Monastery Lake, where they listened to stories of vocation, ministry, and faithful service spanning decades.
In his final remarks, Fr. Vien Nguyen, SCJ, provincial superior, reminded participants of the importance of their ministry and partnership in the mission of the Priests of the Sacred Heart:
“There is a beauty about our mission together; you give us life. I’m very proud to call you my colleagues and, with you, extend the mission of the Priests of the Sacred Heart. Our mission is not possible without you.”
