Happy Independence Day, Belize! On Sept. 21, we celebrate the vibrant culture, rich history, and the beautiful spirit of the Belizean people.
A new book invites readers to experience Nazareth through photographs, history, Scripture, and the words of those who helped shape the spiritual life of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. Nazareth the Beautiful is now available for purchase.
For more than two decades, Sister Rose Plathottam has helped girls from marginalized communities in Bihar, India, pursue education and new opportunities. At Chirag Vidyalaya, more than 200 girls have graduated, including former students who now work as nurses and other professionals, creating new possibilities for themselves and their families.
Frances “Frannie” Groom returned to Nazareth one final time on Oct. 6, when Sisters gathered for her burial in the SCN Cemetery. A former Sister, longtime donor, and Legacy Society member, Frannie remained connected to Nazareth throughout her life and chose to make the community her final resting place.
Happy Independence Day to all my Belizean friends. What a difference you have made in my life! 🇧🇿
Happy Independence Day to all our SCNs and people of Belize! I treasure the memories of the
summer of 1978 when I was able to be in San Ignacio to teach remedial reading
to a group of school students and have Bible study with some of the parishioners in
the evenings. That summer was very happy and unforgettable in my life!
Many thanks for all you shared with me during that special time.
All blessings to you all, each and every one!!! Sister Margaret Lillian Davenport, SCN
How wonderful it would be to be in Belize tomorrow to celebrate!
