Our Mission

We are Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, consecrated women of the church. Impelled by the Spirit active in each of us and faithful to the charism of Clelia Merloni, we seek to make the compassionate Heart of Christ better known, loved, and served. We do this by personal and communal witness to the Gospel, commitment to growth in holiness, and ministry to the people of God

Charism

Having experienced the joy of knowing God’s tender love, the Apostles are sent out in mission to share the reparative love of the Heart of Christ with all whom we encounter, especially those in most need. We are called to witness to His merciful love by our words and our very lives.
