Great Family of the Sacred Heart

Great Family of the Sacred Heart, also known as Grande Famiglia del Sacro Cuore or GFASC, is a mission for families who want to be consecrated to the heart of Jesus and to live an authentic Christian life following the charism of Mother Clelia Merloni.

Members of the GFASC community seek to witness to the love of the heart of Christ through a life of service and reparation. The aim of GFASC is to lead each person to the source of life, Jesus Christ, in order to rebuild the family through prayer and faith-filled, loving service. 

Families from 11 countries around the world form one Great Family of the Sacred Heart and together seek to:

• Learn about Sacred Heart devotion and Mother Clelia Merloni
• Consecrate their families to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
• Witness to the love of God for others in the spirituality of the Sacred Heart and the charism of Mother Clelia Merloni
• Journey with other families and support one other in a desire to live an authentic Christian life
• Support the mission and vocations of the Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus with their prayers
