Ametur-MSC

Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.  We are a missionary congregation in the Catholic Church, founded in 1854 by Fr. Jules Chevalier in Issoudun, Diocese of Bourges, France. 

He had a vision of a new world emerging from the heart of Christ. Contemplating the Heart of Christ pierced through on Calvary, Chevalier could see the depths of God’s desire to make his love known to humanity.  Such is his love for us that he would give his entire life to us.  Chevalier was moved by this reality, seeing it as the answer to the ills of his time, and this is still the driving force at work in us today.  We want to make known the generosity of God’s love and care for all people, and to evoke a response in every human heart.  As a result, we have come to especially value, love, concern, compassion, understanding, respect and acceptance of each individual person: “I give you a new commandment, love one another”. [John 13:34]

Our motto: “May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be loved everywhere. Forever!”.
