CHARISM
The Charism of the Congregation is ‘to glorify the Sacred Heart of Jesus and an insatiable thirst to transmit to others the compassionate love of the Heart.’
AIM AND SPIRITNever ending adoration, praise, thanksgiving and reparation are offered to the Heavenly Father through the Sacred Heart of Jesus from our Congregation. The life, love and compassion, we experience through the Sacred Heart flow into the orphaned, the destitute, the distressed, the ignorant and non- Christian brethren for our sanctification as well as theirs. Thus our aim is the consecration of our own self for the glorification of the Heavenly Father through our works and sufferings. OUR INSPIRING MODELSOur Lady, the co redeemer of Jesus Christ who surrendered to the will of God under every circumstance, St. Joseph who guarded and protected Jesus and the Virgin Mary, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, who glorified the Sacred Heart of Jesus ceaselessly through her life of reparation and our saintly Founder and founding members who found the identity of their lives in the Sacred Heart imitating the Holy Family are our very inspiring models. IDEAL AND MOTTOTo our call to the Sacred Heart Congregation for love, self giving and service, we respond through prayer, suffering and service. We accept “Snehaya Danaya Cha Rakshanaya” (Redemption through love and self giving) which reminds us of the self giving as our ideal and motto. STRENGTHFather Mathew had said, “The Congregation will flourish after my death.” This prophecy of the founder began to be realized steadily. The congregation has now 3576 professed members and in about 492 houses spread out in the different dioceses of India and abroad under eleven Provinces and one region. We have three mission provinces (Ujjain, Assam, Delhi) and one mission region (Belthangady). Our sisters also work in Africa, America , Italy &Germany . About 800 Sacred Heart sisters from these provinces and the Kerala provinces serve in the mission vineyard of the Lord such as Agra, Maharashtra, Chanda, Karnataka, Arunachalpradesh, Tamil Nadu & Uttarakhand. This shows the marvellous growth of the Congregation during the past hundred five years.
