The beginning



Hello all


First time out!
We are the archives for the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio Texas!



The congregation is filled with amazing women taking part in amazing projects around the world.


Their ministries include: Social Justice, Health care, Education, Environment and Women's Issues in such places as The United States, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Ireland and Africa.


We are starting this blog so that we can share archives projects with the public and members of the congregation around the world.




Next up: Headwaters collection


The Headwaters of the San Antonio River lie next to the University of the Incarnate Word. The congregation deeded these 53 acres to the Headwaters Coalition to be preserved as a public nature sanctuary, called the Headwaters Sanctuary. The archives has received cultural artifacts found in the sanctuary from numerous archaeological collections and as we catalogue it we will paint a picture of the history of these lands.

  2. Suggestion: do more stuff on the blog... and then we can invite the sisters to come see... (language at first could be an issue... we need to think about bilingual blogging).

  4. Really great start, Eva! Thanks and congratulations on the wonderful display for the history day. I am sorry I could not be there, but maybe next year I can be in SA for the bigger display. I am sure people learned a lot about our congregation and also the university with the choir's performance. Good going to all!

    NOTE: check the e-mail you sent, RE the location of the website address for the English website. "Spanish" is just above it, so that could be a little confusing for those who are just learning to navigate the e-mail and website stuff.

    Peace, blessings, God's Love and Wisdom in all things.
