Recently, during a Mass in the New Sharon Chapel in Rosemont, Pa., in the Chapel at the Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child in Summit, N.J., and at the grave site of two of Cornelia Connelly's children in Grand Coteau, 14 people made formal commitments to live the gospel values in relationship with the Society as SHCJ Associates.

SHCJ Associates, who reside throughout the U.S., deepen their faith life through personal prayer, ongoing spiritual development, ministry in daily living, and community with the Society of the Holy Child Jesus.

Following each commitment ceremony, a celebratory meal with family and friends was enjoyed. For more information about the Associates, please contact Cathi Duffy, Associates Director.
