Our Congregation was founded in 1894 in Krakow, Poland by Saint Joseph Sebastian Pelczar and Servant of God Mother Klara Szczesna.  We are a contemplative-active religious congregation of Pontifical Right, affliliated with order of Frairs Minor Conventual. 

 

Our Mission is to worship the Triune God in the mystery of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and spread the Kingdom of Love of this Heart by serving Christ in our neighbor particularly among girls, the poor, and the sick.
