I received my assignment to study at Sacred Heart as my teaching year in Peoria, Illinois, came to a close. Several months earlier, Mother Assumpta announced our sisters had been invited by Archbishop Vigneron to study the New Evangelization at Sacred Heart Major Seminary. The gift of this invitation was not lost on any of us. Study is a signifi- cant part of the Dominican charism. 22 Sacred Heart Major Seminary | Mosaic | Spring 2018
