"For almost 90 years, the Dominican Sisters of St. Rose of Lima (known as
the Hawthorne Dominicans - named for their foundress, Rose Hawthorne)
served at a special ministry in North Philadelphia. There they offered
hope, care, and companionship to men and women who needed assistance at
the end of their lives. The facility was officially known as the Sacred
Heart Home for Incurable Cancer. It was unique in that it relied
entirely on freewill donations. Started in a time before Medicaid or
Medicare, the facility accepted no money from its residents or any
government agency."
In a recent commentary, Father Jack Kolodziej, OSFS, reflected on the relationship between the Sacred Heart Home and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
