Willing Hearts app for iPhone and iPad

Here is a rare opportunity to read about the Civil War era Sisters of the Holy Cross, much in the Sisters’ own words. Theirs is a remarkable story of faith, courage and finding joy amidst an angry, divisive time in our country. In this app, follow these brave women religious into the military hospitals alongside great rivers, and onto a magnificent naval hospital steamboat. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Sisters of the Holy Cross ministries.

“The hospital was full of sick and wounded, but after some days we succeeded in getting it comparatively clean. We were not prepared as nurses, but our hearts made our hands willing and our sympathy ready, and so with God’s help, we did much towards alleviating the dreadful suffering.” — Mother M Augusta (Anderson) CSC
