What a gift it was to gather together this past Saturday, April 18, on the anniversary of the death of our foundress, Venerable Cornelia Connelly, and to mark the occasion with the official launch of the Holy Child Collaborative (click here).
We are deeply grateful to each of you who joined us. Nearly 130 guests celebrated with us in person, and more than 40 people participated via livestream. And to those who joined us in spirit — your prayers and support were truly felt. We send a special thank you to Holy Child Academy’s Choir and Hand Bell Choir, and to the musicians, for their lovely performances. Thank you!
The Holy Child Collaborative is a beautiful way to honor Cornelia’s legacy, coming together in different ways — as one community, united in mission — to share God’s love with each other and in our world. Your continued participation and support are important, so please join us on Saturday, June 6, for a one-hour virtual meeting. See below for more details.
Founded in 2025, the Holy Child Collaborative advances the mission of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus: “To rejoice in God’s presence and to help people believe that God lives and acts in them and in our world.”
