Missionaries of the Sacred Heart

The Illinois Community's Dinner Dance was a huge success and the proceeds are going both to directly support the missions of the MSC Africa Union and to support the education and training of the MSC who realize those missions. We are excited to be able to help more people through our educational, health care, and local development programs.

On Sunday, April 27, nearly 300 people came to the Lincoln Inn in Batavia, IL where they enjoyed dinner, live music, and the chance to hear Fr. Jean Marie Ndour, MSC speak from first-hand experience about the MSC missions in Africa. Guests also had the opportunity to meet and visit with Fr. Gaby Lobee, MSC, another MSC from the MSC Africa Union. Thank you to those who attended the Dinner Dance and to our many sponsors, benefactors and volunteers who made this great event possible through donations of time, talent, raffle and auction items and much more! Your generosity has truly made a difference in the lives of people living in Senegal, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa. Thank you for helping to make the love of the Heart of Jesus known everywhere!
