Religious of the Sacred Heart of
Mary (R.S.H.M.) The paths we
walk are paved with a shared dream...
that all may have life and have it to
the full. Founded in France in 1849, we are now
in 13 countries in Europe, Africa, and the
Americas. Prayer and community are the twin
pillars that support us in many forms of ministry
including education, healthcare, pastoral
ministry, social work, legal services, and retreats.
While representing different cultures, languages,
talents, and experiences, we have one heart and
one spirit. We have staked our lives on the belief
that God is revealed to us in creation, in the
person of Jesus Christ, and in the power of the
Holy Spirit. The most vulnerable on earth and
the vulnerability of the earth itself are the focus
of our quest in these critical times to know and
love God, and to make God known and loved.
We invite you to consider walking with us.

Religious Teachers Filippini
(M.P.F.) Go and Teach the Word of
God! This has been our mission
since 1692 when our foundress,
Saint Lucy Filippini, formed our community of
sisters dedicated to the Christian education of
youth. In imitation of Christ the Teacher, we
serve primarily in schools and catechetical
programs from preschool through university
levels and are known for being outstanding
educators. We share the Good News of the
Gospel with those we meet in education, pastoral ministry, youth/young adult ministry, retreat work, and our work with those who are in
physical or spiritual need. Our living together
joyfully in community, rich daily prayer life,
and focus on service in ministry enable us to
make God known in seven countries across five
continents. Our sisters help others to know
God, love God, and serve God. Contact: Sr.
