Background
The Philippine project was introduced as a way of celebrating our internationality. St Philippine was the first RSCJ to take the Society to another country when she set off for the United States in 1818. In October and November we invited Sacred Heart Schools across the world to reflect on Migration in our Times and write a prayer to share electronically with sister schools. During the week of her feast day, November 18th, we will unite in prayer with Philippine, the woman who prays always, for the millions of migrants facing hardship across the world and for those involved in helping them.
