Justice, peace, & integrity of creation | The Society of the Sacred Heart

A love for the whole world

Justice, peace and the integrity of creation lie at the heart of our mission and spirituality as sisters of the Sacred Heart. Our mission, to discover and make known the love of the Heart of Jesus, compels us to live out the Gospel message ‘with all that it demands from us of love, forgiveness and justice, and of solidarity with those who are poor and rejected by the world.’ (Constitutions 4 & 7)
