Our Leadership

The United States – Canada Associates Leadership Team works as one body to further the mission of the Society of the Sacred Heart through association and collaboration with our Religious of the Sacred Heart (RSCJ) sisters. We seek to welcome those called to the charism of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat and become Associates. Our work is that of communication, mission and collaboration.
