Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (RSHM)

As Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary, we are women called to belong totally and undividedly to God and to channel our energies to God's desire that all may have life and have it to the full.

We are an international community of 1000 women in five provinces and two regions serving in fourteen countries. We are diverse yet united in a common spirit of faith and enthusiasm for the mission of Jesus Christ.
