While living and working in the U.S., I had a chance encounter with Clarita Hanson, SHCJ, who received my first vows in Nigeria.

THE LIFE OF CORNELIA CONNELLY By Judith “Judy” Talvacchia is now available in English and Spanish! To receive a copy, please send an e-mail to [email protected].

“ Thank you so much for the book on Cornelia Connelly. I first read about Cornelia during my school days at Saint Leonard’s. Many times my children heard her quotes, especially ‘be yourself but make that self just what our Lord wants it to be.’ My husband and I both read the book and then discussed it. Now I will pass it on to others and trust that Cornelia will also inspire them.“ – Nannette “ The book is beyond informative. Every page captivated me. Kudos to Judith A. Talvacchia! I shall keep my copy on the coffee table for the rest of my eighty-four years! The twelve of which have made me ever grateful for the education the Holy Child Sisters imparted to me.” - Katharine

“Generosity, generosity, generosity must be the beginning and ending of our life.” – Cornelia Connelly

• 33 News from Cornelia Connelly School of the Holy Child in Anaheim, California

“…the Sisters rejoice in knowing that the young women who attended Connelly School carry with them the confidence, love of learning, and faith-based values that were instilled during their time there.”

1341 Montgomery Avenue Rosemont, Pennsylvania 19010 610.626.1400 phone / 610.525.2919 fax www.shcj.org/american

Dear Friends, For almost six decades, graduates of Cornelia Connelly School of the Holy Child in Anaheim, Calif., have been inspired by the spirit of Cornelia Connelly to “meet the wants of the age” and distinguish themselves as compassionate leaders and global citizens. It is therefore with deep regret that I inform you that the Board of Trustees of Cornelia Connelly School of the Holy Child has voted to close the school. The board cited diminished enrollment and financial difficulties for the closing. However, the Sisters will continue their financial support and take the necessary steps to ensure the school remains open until June 30, 2020, the end of the academic year. The Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus recognize that the school’s closing will be a loss for the entire community, especially the students, both past and present. Conversely, the Sisters rejoice in knowing that the young women who attended Connelly School carry with them the confidence, love of learning, and faith-based values that were instilled during their time there. Since 1961, a dedicated community of administrators, educators, and volunteers have guided Connelly students and helped them to develop into accomplished young women. The Sisters are deeply grateful for the support and leadership of these individuals, including the current board of trustees, faculty, and staff, especially Board Chair Priscila Forbes and Head of School Jacqueline Quinones Sienkowski. The Holy Child Sisters continue to pray through Cornelia’s intercession for the Connelly School community, including for the loss felt by the students and their families, faculty, staff, trustees, Holy Child Network of Schools and the Sisters themselves. With God’s help and grace, we pray for compassion and acceptance during this challenging time. On behalf of all the Sisters, thank you for your help in advancing the Society’s mission “to rejoice in God’s presence and to help people believe that God lives and acts in them and our world.” Peace and blessings to you today and always,

Carroll Juliano, SHCJ American Province Leader
