The holy foundress has taken care of those who place themselves under her protection, and will continue to do so.

The Spanish city of Cadiz experienced on September 22 what could have been a terrible tragedy. The roof of the chapel the popular school of Las Esclavas (run by the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus), with a surface area of about 4300 square feet, collapsed. The whole interior of the chapel was destroyed by the falling beams, bricks, and roof tiles.

The fact that the collapse happened at a school caused concern, although firefighters arrived immediately and were able to verify that there were no injuries: the collapse had occurred in the morning but before school hours, at 7:30 a.m.
