Mission
The charism of the congregation consists in making the mystery of the infinite love of God for mankind which is the Perennial Sign in the Heart of Jesus - the inspiring reason of our spirituality and of our whole apostolic activity. We consider the most resilient element of our spirituality as Little Missionaries of the Sacred Heart to grow intimately with Christ Our Lord, possessing the feelings of mercy, trusting in Him and abandoning ourselves completely to Him, contemplating and absorbing in our personal life the inmost virtues and feelings flowing from the Heart of Jesus.
