Welcome!
It is a blessing to share
our mission with you!
We look forward to walking with you
on this journey to holiness,
providing resources and spiritual encouragement.
Here you will find practical ways to learn more about our charism and spirituality.
Our Charism and Spirituality
"Behold this Heart which has so loved men
that it has spared nothing,
even to exhausting and consuming itself, to prove to them its love".
-The Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
Our charism is to live and promote the vocation to holiness through the spirituality of the Sacred Heart of Jesus!
We walk with people of all stages in life to remind them of their call to holiness and provide them with resources for spiritual growth.
"Jesus' incarnate Heart,
more than all the other members of His body, is the natural sign and symbol of His boundless love”. The love of Christ’s Heart, “expresses not only divine love but also human sentiments of love..."
- Pope Pius XII,
Encyclical Haurietis Aquas, 22 and 38

Holy Kids Camp
We are excited to share that this summer, Holy Kids Camp came to Sacramento! This is a five-day Catholic summer program for children from Pre-K through 6th grade developed by the Pro Ecclesia Sancta sisters. It includes many dynamic activities that focus on the themes of God's love and our call to holiness. This year it was held at St Lawrence Parish in North Highlands.
We look forward to witnessing the spiritual fruits in the kids and their families in the years to come!

Volunteering at Wellspring Woman Center
We are blessed by God to be sent out to share His love and joy to our brothers and sisters in need. They love to share their stories and listen to our vocation stories.
It's a beautiful time sharing in Jesus and helping them to build a relatioship with Him through prayer.
"Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me". Matthew 5:48
Retreat for consecration to the Sacred Heart
We are very grateful to the Lord for moving the hearts of more than 150 people, who attended our retreat in preparation to consecrate themselves or to renew their consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus!
Entire families attended the retreat as well, as we offered separate talks for adults, teenagers and little kids.
Let's keep them in our prayers for abundant spiritual fruit!

Our mission and work both aim at the same goal: holiness!We are grateful to the Sacred Heart of Jesus who has brought us here to remind everyone of our call to be holy, living out and sharing our charism with all of God's people here in California.
Our service to the local Church includes families, children and adults in parishes and Catholic schools. We are blessed to be able to help lead retreats and camps, provide spiritual formation opportunities and hope to spread the love of the Sacred Heart to each person we encounter.
