As noted last week, the summer session of ECS (English and Culture Studies) is underway at Sacred Heart Seminary and School of Theology. The students’ focus is not only on improving English language skills but also on learning about the culture of the United States, including the US Province. Last Wednesday, the Provincial Offices hosted the students, who received an introduction to the province, as well as an overview of the Priests of the Sacred Heart and Fr. Leo John Dehon. Many of the summer students are from outside of the community; the visit was an opportunity for them to learn about the religious community that sponsors the ECS program.
The session included a brief welcome from Fr. Vien Nguyen, SCJ (provincial superior), a summary of the Dehon Study Center and its services from Fr. Joseph Mukuna, SCJ, (director of the center), and a quick biography of the community’s founder, Fr. Leo John Dehon, shared by Monica Misey, director of Dehonian Associates.
