Viva Sao Jose!

Viva Sao Jose!









*To begin with, a technical note-- if you wish to view the screen bigger, press the "FN" key on the left of the keyboard and the "+" key on the right. (Tip from Sr. Grace :) thank you!)
Sao Jose began as a farm to provide for the needs of the sisters in Colegio Santa Clara, as well as for educating rural children in 1919. Following the "Room for One More" principle, the six children and three founding nuns under the "house covered with straw," quickly grew to hold 100! The tree pictured above gives witness to the ninety-one years of fertile growth of Sao Jose from the beginning.
It was enriching to meet the Sisters and to visit the school which is "Committed to Life" and the "Transformation of Society" as evidenced through their special care of the earth in their active study of indigenous plants and their biohabitats, while planting the seedlings on the farmland for a continued future!
