Healing Connections – Mission in Brazil and Peru

Helga Auer RSCJ, an Austrian sister of the Sacred Heart, lives in Vienna. She finished her studies in the late 1960s, worked for four years in a pharmacy, then, as a young volunteer, traveled to Brazil to participate in a mission project. Three years later, she joined the Society of the Sacred Heart. Early in her novitiate, she had a serious car accident that required multiple surgeries and her return to Vienna. From 1988 to 2005, she worked as a pastoral psychologist in Austria and taught in Peru at the Universidad Femenina del Sagrado Corazón (UNIFÉ)* in Lima, where she published a textbook on humanistic psychology and various shorter manuals. Erika Tornya RSCJ talked with her about liberation theology, the Church in Peru, and Latin American experiences in general. TOVÁBB “Healing Connections – Mission in Brazil and Peru”
