Deep Prayer Life
You feel drawn to spend time with God in prayer and find peace in His presence.
Is God Calling You?
Discover the joy of giving your life completely to Christ
A Call to Love
Every vocation begins with a whisper in the heart - a sense that God is inviting you to something more, something beautiful, something deeply fulfilling.
If you've ever felt a stirring in your heart when you pray, a desire to give yourself completely to God and to serve others, you may be experiencing the beginnings of a call to religious life.
As Daughters of the Sacred Heart, we live this call in community, united by our love for Christ's Sacred Heart. We find our joy in prayer, in sisterly love, and in serving God's people through our various ministries.
Discerning a vocation is a journey - one that takes time, prayer, and guidance. We're here to walk with you every step of the way.
"Do not be afraid to give your life to Christ. He will never be outdone in generosity."
— St. John Paul II
