Brief History of the Congregation of the Missionary Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Continued from page 21 Column 2 this need was found at Hyde Park, near Reading, Pa. where the estate of Henry Felix, a Reading shoe manufacturer, had been willed to the Catholic Charities. From 1884 to 1907, the facilities were a girls’ seminary run by Sacratissimi Cordis). Today the complex of buildings houses the novitiate, administration, and retirement facilities of the community. Workshops, retreats, and days of recollection are also held there. In 1922 the Knights of St. George established a home for its aged members and the following year the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart came to staff it. Over the years, the Sisters have endeared themselves to the many people associated with the home. Several Sisters have spent many years in this apostolate and their presence has always been appreciated. In 1982, the Knights of St. George honored Sister M. Richard at the Awards Banquet by making her a Knight on the occasion of the fifty years of service which she has given to the Home. Today, there are approximately 1360 MSC Sisters all over the world: United States, Peru, Germany, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Spain, Korea, India, and Italy. From the earliest days of the congregation, foreign and home missions have grown side by side. Presently 220 Sisters in the American Province engage in a variety of apostolates in 25 places in three states: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Georgia. The Sisters serve as teachers, nurses, counselors, pastoral ministers, accountants, secretaries, homemakers, and visitors of the sick. They are active in hospitals, homes for the aged, home health care programs, parishes, elementary schools, schools of nursing, and universities. The community also runs a House of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters. Vacated after a few years, and then used as a sanatorium for a short time, the estate was acquired by the Missionary Sisters in 1911. Since that time, St. Michael Convent has been the motherhouse of the MSC Sisters. (MSC is derived from the Latin title of the community: Missionaria Prayer which provides a quiet place for solitude, prayer and retreats for those who wish. Recently, the Sisters celebrated their seventy-five years of presence and service in the United States. The jubilee was the celebration of each MSC Sister’s response to the shared vision of life commitment to which she has vowed herself and which is so aptly expressed in their motto: “May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be loved everywhere!” Continued from page 21 magazine’s December issue, were chosen on the basis of recommendation by leading senior scientists. Barany, 29, was the only Minnesota scientist on the list. Barany was born in Budapest, Hungary, and raised in New York City. The son of two research scientists, he went directly from high school to a graduate program at the Rockefeller University, where his research adviser was Bruce Merrifield. Merrifield, who is still at Rockefeller, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry this year for inventing a new way to link together amino acids — the building blocks of protein — in chains known as peptides. After completing his Ph.D. in 1977, Barany remained at Rockefeller as a postdoctoral fellow until becoming an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota in 1980. Science Digest noted in a biographical sketch that Barany has improved methods for the chemical synthesis of oxytocin, a peptide hormone that induces uterine contractions, and methionine enkephalin, a natural painkiller made by the brain. “My work is to come up with mild methods for peptide synthesis that will result in higher yields and greater product purity,” Barany said. “I was very surprised to have been selected for this honor and am in very distinguished company.” Pennsylvania Governor's Heritage Affairs Commission 1984 Christmas Continued from page 20 column 5 In his opening remarks, Dr. Tise said that Pennsylvania’s founder William Penn would take great pride in the ornaments, costumes and performers assembled for the celebration. For Tise it was like “history come alive . . . observances and traditions passed from one generation to another; from one homeland to another; from parent to child to grandchild.” Executive Diector of the Governor’s Heritage Affairs Advisory Commission (GHAAC) Richard J. Jankowski said that the festivity has grown each year since it began in 1980. “This year over 2,000 people, a record, came to participate in the opening ceremonies of “Christmas ... An Ethnic Experience.” "We hope the crowd continues to grow and to appreciate Pennsylvania’s diverse ethnic background,” he said. “Christmas ... An Ethnic Experience” closes Saturday, Jan. 12 and is jointly sponsored by GHAAC and the State Museum of Pennsylvania. GHAAC Representative Mr. Tivador Czotter coordinated the Hungarian-American community tree trimming with help from the Hungarian Community of Harrisburg.
