Mission Co-op May 23-24 Society of the Holy Child Jesus Sr. Regina Zoot, SHCJ
Sr. Regina Zoot from the Society of the Holy Child Jesus will be visiting Holy Infancy and Incarnation parishes the weekend of May 23-24 to talk about their mission. Cornelia Connelly, an American-born wife and mother and a zealous convert, founded the Society of the Holy Child Jesus in England in 1846. Her sisters were primarily trained as educators.
The heritage of respect for the dignity of every human being, which Cornelia gave her community, has been translated through the generations as a spirit of trust and of reverence for all God’s people.
In keeping with our spirit and mission of trust and reverence for the dignity of every human being, the Holy Child Integrated Services Project was established to support youth and vulnerable individuals who are forced to leave their homes in northern Ghana for various reasons.
Name of Project: Holy Integrated Services
In the African Province—which includes Ghana, Chad, Kenya, and South Sudan—approximately 200 sisters serve in some of the most underserved communities. One of our current initiatives is the Holy Child Integrated Services Project in Ghana, which supports vulnerable youth and young adults, particularly those displaced by long-standing communal conflicts, poverty, and limited educational opportunities in the country’s northern regions.
The project aims to mitigate the impact of rural-urban migration by offering resettlement support and vocational training to young people who have dropped out of school due to financial hardship. Funds raised through the 2026 MCP will be used to construct a vocational training center and provide essential skills training that can lead to sustainable livelihoods and long-term community development.
This appeal directly supports the Society’s mission to “meet the wants of the age,” as envisioned by Cornelia Connelly. The initiative is not only timely but also crucial for addressing systemic poverty and youth unemployment in the region.
