This book explores the life of Catherine Collins, RSCJ, founder of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools and the Center for Educational Design and Communication (CEDC) in Washington, D.C. “Kit,” as she was called, was a visionary, creative and influential educator. Schools of the Sacred Heart (now 25 total in the United States and Canada) owe the articulation of their educational philosophy, Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart Schools, to her initiative.

The Society’s vocation ministry shares the mission and charism of the Society with women who are discerning God’s call to live and share their gifts in order to discover and reveal the love of God in our world.

Religious fo the Sacred Heart (RSCJ) from around the world were asked what new initiatives they are pursuing in their provinces, and what kind of future they dream of for the Society. In this series of videos, you will be able to hear their answers, learn more about what our sisters are doing in every corner of the world, and get an idea of what our future might hold!

We turn to you, Mary, our Mother. Help now as we pray with the people of Haiti. Our Mother of Sorrows, with strength from above you stood by the cross, sharing in the sufferings of Jesus, and with tender care you bore Him in your arms, mourning and weeping.

On July 10, 2021, Ruth Cunnings, RSCJ, professed her first vows in the Society of the Sacred Heart. The vow ceremony and liturgy, which took place at the Shrine of Saint Philippine Duchesne in St. Charles, Missouri, were live-streamed for friends, family and RSCJ who could not be present. Watch a video recap of the liturgy below.
