Moving Towards Reconciliation: Conversations and Efforts about Race, Slavery and History Across the Network
Read MoreUnquestionably, the issue of race and reconciliation is a topic that confronts and challenges our school communities today. It is not a new topic, and while it is national in scope, the reality and impact are felt in particular in the local context of each school community. For that reason, the Network of Sacred Heart Schools is working with the Society of the Sacred Heart United States -- Canada Province to provide opportunities and resources for our school communities to understand the experience of racism broadly and locally.
