legacy of education, leadership and advocacy.

continuing and adapting the heritage and legacy of Barat College to our
21st-century world.

“This name, Religious of the Sacred Heart, is in itself a mission.”
St. Madeleine Sophie Barat
The Society of the Sacred Heart
continues its mission each day: to discover and make known the love of the
Heart of Christ in the world. We do this through our commitment to prayer
and contemplation, serving in the Network of Sacred Heart Schools, in colleges,
universities, and other educational institutions, in spiritual ministry
centers, parishes, hospitals and in direct service to those most in need. We
care for our elderly sisters and are involved in the ministry of justice and
peace.
For the Society of the Sacred Heart,
mission advancement is about fidelity to relationships, expanding and being
faithful to the larger family of the Sacred Heart – associates, alumnae/i,
Network colleagues, families, benefactors, friends, ministry collaborators and
Religious of the Sacred Heart so that the love of the Heart of Christ will be
better known and our world will become a more loving place. Mission advancement
seeks to increase our resources and direct them to the present and future
mission of the Society and the care of our eldest members.
