Ten years ago, a group of sisters named the Sisters of the Holy Names visited a neighborhood in the poorest area of East San Jose. Thats when they started the Santee Mission. The sisters transformed a poor, dangerous neighborhood into a more peaceful place for childeren and family to live. The sisters provided religous education and Sunday worship. The families and childeren, that live in nothing but packed apartments and one family homes, are very grateful for the sisters help in making their neighborhood a more Christ centered community. Otherwise, these families would not be able to participate in Catholic education.
I feel that the Santee Mission is very important. It gives families a chance to have a better life and a better neighborhood. This mission is also inspiring in living out our catholic faith and may inspire others to start a mission on helping a neighborhood or community. In helping family and childeren, who dont have very much and who live in dangerous neighborhoods, by giving them a better life by providing Catholic education is a wonderful thing to do in spreading the word of God in making the world a wonderful, peaceful and loving enviorment.
