Sue Buck

Sue Buck is the Leader of the ACI Associates for the US Province of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and a volunteer at St. Raphaela Center.  She felt called to become an Associate because she wanted to go deeper into her own spirituality, to be part of a community that practiced Ignatian Spirituality, and to learn more about adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, an important form of prayer for her.  She is particularly attracted to uniting the whole world through Eucharistic Reparation--being Eucharist to everyone she meets.  Sue and three other women, under the guidance of Sr. Sagrario Núñez, aci, began a new group of Associates at St. Raphaela Center, which has more than doubled in size.  Part of her apostolate as an Associate is to teach English over Zoom to some of the Handmaids in formation in Vietnam, in which she feels mutuality and joy for the hour each week that they share life and learning.  Sue also works part-time as a physical therapist and lives with her husband Ed, and they are both extremely proud of their daughter, Maggie.
