The Society of the Sacred Heart is an international order of women in the Catholic Church, founded in 1800 by a French woman, Madeleine Sophie Barat. Her desire was to heal the pain and division in her country in the aftermath of the French revolution, by helping others to discover the love of God's Heart. She chose to do this primarily through education and spirituality.
Today there are 2,600 religious, present in 45 countries around the world. Religious of the Sacred Heart (RSCJ) are called to discover and reveal God's love for all, whose source is in the Open Heart of Jesus. We aim to be contemplative in spirit, generous and educative in mission and passionate for justice, peace and the integrity of creation. We are contemplatives in action, rooted in prayer and reflection, as, by looking deeply at the world around us, we try to see it as God sees it, so that we can better love and serve others.
We hope this website will help you to get to know RSCJ from England-Wales Province, our lives, prayer, ministries and aspirations, and how we live our spirituality and mission. Do contact us if you'd like to know more!
