In the post-Vatican II decades of the 1960s and 1970s, the Society of the
Sacred Heart ended 150 years of living in semi-cloistered, school-centered
communities, freeing its members to engage in a myriad of social justice
initiatives beyond their traditional works. It became obvious in recent
years that unless the stories of these RSCJ pioneers were collected and
told, the history of those initiatives would be lost. Highlighted in these
pages is a representative sample of the creative and courageous work done
by so many RSCJ during the first decades after Vatican II.
Written during the time of Pope Francis, who has supported and defended
the renewal set in motion by Vatican II, the book honors the RSCJ who
embraced the challenge of responding to their call to "reveal the Love of
the heart of God in the heart of the world" by addressing the suffering and
injustices around them.
