Nurturing Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life

We share in the responsibility of all members of the Church to encourage and support vocations to ensure that God's work will continue. Our Novitiate and House of Studies is located in Fairfield, PA within a few miles of Mt. St. Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg, MD where our seminarians study.  Other formation houses are located in Italy, Slovakia, India and the Philippines for our vocations in those countries.
 

Hispanic Apostolate

Since 1953, the Missionaries of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary have staffed a Hispanic National Parish in the city of Camden, New Jersey. Their vigorous apostolate for Hispanic youth in the Jornada and their long association with the Cursillo movement in the Diocese have established the congregation as a resource for meeting the needs of the Hispanic community.
 

Ministering to the Needs of the Aged and Infirm

Among the aged and infirm are many who are alone or abandoned. Following the direction of our Founder, we serve in those capacities where we can reassure them of God's love through our pastoral ministries in nursing home and assisted living facilities chaplaincies.
 

Spiritual Direction

Our facilities in Linwood, New Jersey also serve as a spiritual life center, giving us the opportunity to welcome local groups seeking a Day of Recollection or spiritual enrichment. Through our mail apostolate, thousands participate in special devotions through the year honoring the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. In Italy, India and Argentina, lay groups are instructed in the charism of our Founder and mission of our congregation and how it can impact their personal faith life.
