- Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary
The Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary is a group of vowed women who, in collaboration with their associates, auxiliaries, co-workers and volunteers work with the poor to identify and transform underlying causes of suffering and seek to meet practical needs.
Origin
The congregation of the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary traces its origin from the French religious institute founded in 1866 by Father Victor Braun. Sister Winifride Tyrell, who was born near Monastrevin in Ireland, was their first Superior General.
Under her guidance the early sisters served the poor in the industrial cities, towns and villages throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Their first Irish foundation was made in Cork in 1922.
Expansion
Since then, the congregation has spread to California, Zambia, Colombia, El Salvador, Uganda and the Philippines.
Mission
The mission of their congregation is summed up in the words of their founder Fr. Braun 'There are two things in life, Jesus Christ and the poor.'
