Welcome James and Juan Carlos!

The Priests of the Sacred Heart welcomed two new members to the community on August 15 when James Nguyen and Juan Carlos Castañeda Rojas (“Juancho”) professed their first vows during a morning liturgy at Sacred Heart School of Theology.

The two SCJs reflect the changing face of the congregation, a religious community that is increasingly more international, even within the U.S. Province itself. Juancho is originally from Colombia and James was born in Vietnam, though he and his family have been in the United States since James was four.
