International Operation
The SHC sisters have felt called in recent years to expand their work into other countries. Initially they opened a branch house convent in England, but this closed again in November 2010 as a result of the administrative difficulties experienced in obtaining visas for the sisters to come to the United Kingdom. Instead the community is now working with postulants from Myanmar, Singapore, and Hong Kong, with a view to possibly expanding into these countries in the near future.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
