Inspired by God's infinite love, Sister Ida surrendered her life completely to God on October 7, 1940. That date marks the beginning of a Religious Community of women who share in Sister Ida's charism of proclaiming His love.



Today, we, the Sisters of the Society Devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, continue to be blessed by God in our life of religious consecration. We desire an ever-deepening union with the Lord through prayer, through the sacraments and through a loving Community life as we serve the Church. A charism - a "gift" of God - was given to Sister Ida. Trusting in the Holy Spirit, we strive to live out this charism that has now been entrusted to us.
