In the experience of worship, we gather to contemplate the mystery of God, interpret the wisdom of religion, and explore the insights of science. Our purpose is to awaken our sense of the sacred and renew our resolve to transform ourselves and our world. As human beings, we all emerge from the same Source and share the same Destiny. As a community of faith, we make shared commitments and offer mutual support. As individuals, we each bear responsibility for our own beliefs and actions. We practice a discipline of gratitude, by which we acknowledge our utter dependence on the people and world around us, and we practice an ethic of gratitude, by which we accept our obligation to nurture others and the world in return.
As a church of Jesus Christ, Redeemer exists to help build a great city for all people through a movement of the gospel that brings personal conversion, community formation, social justice, and cultural renewal to New York City and, through it, to the world.

Every year the French Heritage Language Program helps hundreds of young Americans and new immigrants make the most of their French here in the United States. In the US, French is spoken by hundreds of thousands of people, who come from Haiti, West Africa, Canada, and Europe. French is also spoken by Americans from New England and Louisiana. Yet for many of them, especially new immigrants and lower socio-economic status families, having the possibility to continue learning or keeping up their French is often a challenge. The French Heritage Language Program is a program of the non-profit foundation FACE, in partnership with the French Embassy in the United States. Since 2005, it has helped over 2,500 children, students and adults from underserved communities of francophone background enrich their knowledge of the French language and maintain strong bonds with their respective cultures and identities. "Making French an asset for new Americans" The primary objectives of FHLP program are to help these students make the most of their French linguistic and cultural heritage here in the United States. By strengthening their knowledge of the French language and reinforcing their cultural identities, our students develop strong bilingual skills and so increase their opportunities for success in their new environment, both academically and professionally. They can take valuable examinations facilitating access to higher education and expand their perspectives for job careers in the US. In doing so, French becomes a strong asset not only for our students but also for educators, schools, families and communities. Through university partnerships, our program also contributes to scholarly research in the field of heritage language learning. As a program embedded in schools and community centers, it is a place for pedagogical and methodological exploration, and a way to build new partnerships. We develop curriculum models that can be replicated and adapted in other cities in the United States. The French Heritage Language Program works closely with the Internationals Network for Public Schools, which includes seventeen high schools for new immigrants in New York City, Washington DC and California, all working at the development of models for global education. Our program is offered in New York, Florida, Maine and Boston and currently serves 700 students from elementary to high school levels. There is high demand for French Heritage classes across the country and we are looking for new partners to help us set up new programs where there is need. In New York, the French Heritage Language Program currently serves 485 students at elementary and high school levels, and in several community centers. HIGH SCHOOLS - Bronx International High School - Claremont International High School (Bronx) - International Community High School (Bronx) - International High School at Crotona (Bronx) - Brooklyn International High School - International High School at Lafayette (Brooklyn) - International High School at Prospect Heights (Brooklyn) - International High School at Union Square (Manhattan) - Manhattan International High School (Manhattan) - GED+ Jamaica Learning Center (Queens) ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - NYFACS, New York French American Charter School (Harlem) COMMUNITY CENTERS - Malian Cultural Center (Bronx) - Haitian Americans in Action, Bethanie SDA Church (Brooklyn) - Haitian Americans in Action, Eben-Ezer SDA Church (Brooklyn)

Why do the Philippine Jesuits need your help? As soon as a young man desiring to become a priest enters the Society of Jesus at Sacred Heart Novitiate (SHN), Quezon City, the Philippine Province takes care of his board and lodging, his education and basic formation for the next eleven or twelve years. At the end of this period, the Jesuit is ordained a priest. Because of the desire of the Society of Jesus that this priest or brother becomes an expert in his field, he is usually sent for further studies, called “Special Studies”. Usually, this is a doctorate degree; in some cases, a master’s degree. The “Special Studies” is normally pursued outside the Philippines, often in Europe or the United States, and is funded by the Philippine Province. Once this priest or brother obtains his degree, he is finally assigned to the apostolate. More often than not, he is sent to an educational institution, like the university. Only then does the Philippine Province cease financial support. The educational or other apostolic institutions then provides for his needs. Upon retirement, the Jesuit returns to the auspices of the Philippine Province. The Province provides for board, lodging and medical care, until he dies and is buried at Sacred Heart Novitiate (SHN). And so it is the Philippine Province who takes care of the young man in his formation, stretching for about 16 years, and in retirement, for another 15 - 20 years, until his death and burial at SHN (where he begins and also ends his religious life)—having given all of his life to God! Many alumni of our universities and schools are understandably more than eager to donate to their alma mater, and we thank them for their generosity. Unfortunately, they assume that they are also donating to the Philippine Province --which is not true. That is why we appeal to you that the Philippine Province, not just Jesuit universities and schools, needs your massive support! When you donate, write your check to “Philippine Jesuit Foundation” and at the memo line indicate: “Formation Fund” and/or “Elderly and Infirm Fund”. We thank you for your help.
