“May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be everywhere loved.”

Since 1854, the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart have been working to reach out and transform lives in areas of pressing need, both at home and abroad. From initial endeavours in Papua New Guinea in the organisation’s infancy, to the Irish Province’s current missions on a worldwide scale, the MSC congregation continues to work in pursuit of a shared vision and a united purpose, sharing the message of God’s love everywhere and with everyone.
