“May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be loved everywhere” is our motto. It was coined by Father Jules Chevalier, MSC, who founded our Society in France in 1854. Since that time, we have been committed to bringing God’s love, revealed in Jesus, wherever we are sent. You can find us ministering in a variety of ways, from healing the hearts of those who struggle at home in the United States to building schools and communities internationally such as in the jungles of Papua New Guinea.
Our Ministries
Parish Ministry
Parishes are a great place to find God’s love. As Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, we are committed to discover and highlight God’s presence in any situation we encounter. One of the easiest ways to do this is in parishes. The parish setting makes it possible for us to reach many, many people: the young and the old, the rich and the poor, the sick and the healthy, the single and the married.
International Mission
The MSC have had a global focus since 1881; indeed the name includes Father Chevalier’s desire to act as messengers to people across the world. From the South Pacific to Colombia, from Guatemala to Papua New Guinea, the MSC have worked to build chapels, clinics, and orphanages, as well as provide funds to support schools, health centers, and seminaries.
Chaplaincy
Whether serving in the military or at a hospital or in a prison, MSC chaplains bring an assurance to each individual that he or she is surrounded by God’s love.
MSC Preaching Ministry
The Missionaries of the Sacred Heart offer a pastoral service of preaching for parishes, parish groups, priests, and seminarians. Our band of preachers, available all year long, offer retreats in both English and Spanish.
Prayer
Our infirm and elderly MSC priests and brothers have devoted their lives in the service of the kingdom and, in their later years have taken on the ministry of prayer. Both priests and brothers who have served in ministries and been schooled in sacrifice and heartfelt concern, are now spending their days in prayer to intercede for people faced with suffering, loss, or longing to seek divine assistance on behalf of loved ones.
What is truly significant in all that the MSC do is your involvement with us. On our own, we would be unable to accomplish much at all. Your prayers, your donations, your participation—at whatever level—means you are missionaries with us. Because of you, we continue to be missionaries.
