Bringing Christ's love to the world through service
Our apostolate flows directly from our contemplation of Christ's Sacred Heart. The love we receive in prayer compels us to share that love with others through concrete service.
From the earliest days of our congregation, the Daughters of the Sacred Heart have been dedicated to both prayer and action. Our foundress understood that authentic love cannot remain closed in on itself - it must reach out, embrace, and serve.
Today, our sisters serve in diverse ministries across multiple continents, always seeking to make Christ's love tangible in the lives of those we encounter. Whether in a classroom, at a bedside, in a parish, or on the streets, our mission remains the same: to be living witnesses of the Sacred Heart's love.
"Our hands must be the hands of Christ, our hearts an extension of His Sacred Heart, bringing healing, comfort, and hope wherever we go."
— Our Foundress
