Finding Her Way

We share with joy our second Jean Gailhac film, “Finding Her Way”. This inspiring short film connects Father Gailhac’s timeless words, “Take courage, dear daughter, if God permits obstacles and delays in satisfying your aspirations, it is because God has a loving plan for you,” to the challenges of today.

Overview: “Finding Her Way” is an inspiring short family drama film that delves into the emotional and personal struggles of a young woman at a crossroads in her life. Set against the backdrop of her impending high school graduation, Ana must choose between pursuing a college degree to carve out a life of her own or staying within the confines of her family and working in the family business.

A note of interest: a portion of the filming took place at our Area Office in Montebello, California and the other portion of the filming took place at Cantwell Sacred Heart of Mary High School (CSHM), Montebello, with actual students from CSHM, along with some professional actors/actresses.

Here are the links to the films on RSHM YouTube Channel:

COMMUNITY

“Called to be Community”

As apostolic religious, we believe that community, the witness of unity among people of diverse ages, backgrounds, cultures, and racial origins, is at the heart of our mission in a fragmented and divided world.

MINISTRIES

The mission of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary is “to know and love God, to make God known and loved, to proclaim that Jesus Christ has come that all may have life.” Since our founding in 1849, this faith vision of the founder has been implemented in different ways, according to the needs of the times in various cultures. Our Mission Statement today emphasizes our work for those “most in need of justice” and we are especially committed to the empowerment of women and children.
