Thank you, Peggy Gorman & Lori Wilson!

We thank you for your six years of dedicated leadership of the Associates of the Society of the Sacred Heart in the United States – Canada Province.

As the Co-chairs of the Associates Leadership Team (ALT), you supported the launch of two new virtual Associate groups and a new Associate group in St. Charles, Missouri. Along with the ALT, you supported the Associates during the pandemic, helping groups transition to virtual gatherings and organizing virtual retreats, meetings and an all-Associates virtual conference in 2021. You created an Associates Newsletter, meaningfully participated on various Province committees, and collaborated on joint prayer celebrations with the Religious of the Sacred Heart for many important feast day celebrations including the Feast of the Sacred Heart, the Feast of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat, and the Feast of Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne. Most recently, you have helped lead the Associates’ contemplative visioning process launched in 2022, which, along with the 2021 Associates conference, has laid the foundation for the future of the Associates program.

For all of this and for sharing your time and talents most generously, we extend our deepest gratitude.

Gratefully,

The Provincial Team
