Celebrating where it all began!
The last of the three Centennial celebrations for the US Province of the Priests of the Sacred Heart (Dehonians) was held on July 30 in the place where it all began: Lower Brule, SD. It was there in 1923 that Fr. Mathias Fohrman, an SCJ priest from the German Province, first celebrated Mass at St. Mary’s parish. Dozens of SCJs from around the world joined parishioners for the celebration.

A ministry of beginnings
For nine years, Fr. Quang Nguyen, SCJ, was the vocation director for the US Province. In January, he moved to Houston to continue to work with young people in discernment. However, in his new role as a campus minister at the University of Houston’s Newman Center, the scope of the discernment is much broader. The students he sees aren’t necessarily discerning a vocation to religious life, but life itself. “They are always looking forward,” said Fr. Quang. “Their lives are wide open with possibilities.”
