Discover your deepest self

For many people the call to become a Sister is a growing awareness that religious life will bring them the most joy and a sense of fulfillment in their lives. You may realize that a life of service is the best use of your gifts and talents. This call may be sudden or a gradual process.

Are you asking?

Is this a good fit for me?
Are my priorities aligned with the mission of the Society of the Sacred Heart?
What is the discernment process?
What are the stages of Sacred Heart formation?
Are you longing for greater joy and meaning?

As you think about a possible life-choice for a vowed religious life, we invite you to learn more about the Sacred Heart charism, our priorities, and the ways that we live and respond to addressing the problems and needs of our world today.
