SacredHeartDNA launch marks new moment for partnering with young adults

By Amanda Codina, Reyna González, RSCJ, and Karla Reyes

March 6, 2023

Community. Love. Hope. Vision. Opportunity. These, among many others, were some of the words that our guests used to describe the SacredHeartDNA project during its launch party on Friday, February 24.

SacredHeartDNA is a group of Religious of the Sacred Heart (RSCJ) and young people connected by the charism of the Society of the Sacred Heart and its mission. This group aims to create spaces and opportunities for young people (ages 17-35) to engage with RSCJ and others rooted in a shared purpose that is unique to Sacred Heart. This project is a platform for intercultural and intergenerational dialogues, and also a safe place for young adults who are looking for an opportunity to make their ideas, dreams, and hopes for the present and future visible.

We believe SacredHeartDNA is within everyone. It is the inheritance received from Madeleine Sophie, Philippine Duchesne and many other RSCJ who keep forging our path.

During the launch, we—the SacredHeartDNA team—presented the purpose of SacredHeartDNA, introduced our core values, and showcased the work we’ve done so far, including programs we’ve hosted and the launch of our Instagram. Most notably, we announced and released the digital version of the SacredHeartDNA passport—an interactive spiritual resource that guides you through a twenty-week reflective journey. We also introduced multiple upcoming pilgrimages and our next steps.

The launch took place both virtually on Zoom and in-person at the Society of the Sacred Heart Provincial Office in St. Louis. There were 150 participants representing countries such as India, United States, Canada, Mexico, and England.

We thank all who connected virtually as well as all those who visited us in-person to join us for this important day. We hope to continue helping to reveal the SacredHeartDNA of many more people—especially young adults—in the world with your help.

Amanda Codina is the Director of Student Programs and Special Initiatives for the Network of Sacred Heart Schools. Reyna González, RSCJ, is the Director of Young Adult and Vocation Ministry for the Society of the Sacred Heart, United States – Canada Province.Karla Reyes is the Young Adult and Vocation Ministry Assistant for the Society of the Sacred Heart, United States – Canada Province.

El lanzamiento de SacredHeartDNA marca un nuevo momento para integrarse con los jóvenes adultos

Comunidad. Amor. Esperanza. Visión. Oportunidad. Estas, entre muchas otras, fueron algunas de las palabras que usaron nuestros invitados para describir el proyecto SacredHeartDNA durante su fiesta de lanzamiento el viernes 24 de febrero.

SacredHeartDNA es un grupo de Religiosas del Sagrado Corazón (RSCJ) y jóvenes conectados por el carisma de la Sociedad del Sagrado Corazón y su Misión. Este grupo tiene como objetivo crear espacios y oportunidades para que los jóvenes (de 17 a 35 años) se comprometan con las RSCJ y otras personas enraizadas en un propósito compartido que es exclusivo del Sagrado Corazón. Este proyecto es una plataforma para diálogos interculturales e intergeneracionales, pero también un lugar seguro para jóvenes que buscan una oportunidad para hacer visibles sus ideas, sueños y esperanzas para el presente y el futuro.

Creemos que SacredHeartDNA está dentro de todos. Es la Herencia recibida de Magdalena Sofía, Filipina Duchesne y muchas otras RSCJ que siguen forjando nuestro camino.

Durante el lanzamiento, el equipo SacredHeartDNA presentó el propósito, valores fundamentales y el trabajo hasta el momento. Esto incluye diferentes recursos espirituales, el lanzamiento de sus redes sociales y un pasaporte interactivo que lo acompaña. Además, se presentaron diversas oportunidades y próximos pasos para el grupo.

El lanzamiento tuvo lugar de forma virtual y presencial en la Oficina Provincial de St. Louis, y entre los participantes se incluyeron 150 personas de diversas partes del mundo: India, Estados Unidos, Canadá, México e Inglaterra, etc.

Agradecemos a todos que se conectaron virtualmente, así como a todas las personas que nos acompañaron este día tan importante. Esperamos seguir compartir a revelar el Sagrado Corazón de muchas más personas en el mundo con su ayuda.
