Fatima School Celebrates Fiftieth Anniversary of its Foundation |
 BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - In
March Fátima School celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
its foundation. During the celebrations the School was
honoured by the visit of the religious and civil authorities of the
City of Buenos Aires. This School of Fátima, that was initiated as a small
wooden construction in an inundable zone close to the Parish of Our
Lady of Fátima, accounts today with some magnificent installations
where 2,500 students receive an education and a technical
training. Besides the school attention, some 600 students
receive also an eating aid each day. This School attends, since its
beginning, to a very poor population that resides in the neighbourhood
and the surrounding Villa Miseria de Soldati. The
Congregation of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, very committed to
this School, has spread in her an unequalled figure: Fr.
Leoncio Núñez msc, founder of the School and, for many years,
its Legal Representative and Director. |
For us, a life in union with the Heart of Christ is not just a devotion - it is the very core of our spirituality. the heart of Christ is the source of living water, that is, of the Spirit. 
Jules Chevalier (1824-1907) was a man of his time. He was convinced that the Jesus he found in the Gospels was a person of deep compassion and understanding. 
Through her union with Jesus, Mary knows the unsearchable riches of his Heart and wants to lead us to him, who is the source of a limitless love that gives birth to a new world. 
Fr. Jules wanted to found a missionary Society that would have as its purpose to bring God’s compassionate and merciful love to human beings as the remedy for the evils that afflicted society.
