These last few days I have had the pleasure of meeting almost all the high school girls of St. Joseph Hill which was founded by the Daughters of Divine Charity. What a wonderful group of young women. They reminded me of the older women who, after forty years of Communist tyranny joined together to have a plaque installed in their high school in Budapest which the Communists took away from the Congregation, dispersing the sisters without any warning or provision for their support. The girls remembered the joy and enthusiasm for God and His people that their teachers had conveyed and they made sure they expressed this gratitude at the first opportunity. All over Staten Island are successful women in many helping professions and strong mothers raising good citizens for our church and country.
The girls showed their interest the promotion of women and children in Uganda by health care and education so that happy citizens can help their country join the group of responsible nations making a better world for us all. God bless them.
