About the Sisters of Sacred Heart-Jesus in San Antonio, Texas:
The story of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the USA had its beginning in 1903 when the first five French Sisters courageously accepted an obedience to leave family, homeland, culture, language, and customs in order to spread the seed of their Charism to the United States, arriving in San Antonio, Texas. Today, they live the original inspiration of their Foundress, Angélique Le Sourd, who sat at the foot of a tree gathering the children to pray and to teach them the life and teachings of Jesus, intent “on reviving the faith and restoring moral values”.
Not long after the first Sisters in Texas had moved into their newly constructed convent in 1928, neighbors from the surrounding dairy farms asked the Sisters to open a “little” school for their young children. In 1929, under the leadership of Sister Rose of Lima Gonzalez, one of the first native vocations, the Sisters responded to the call to educate little children. This was the beginning of what is known today as Mount Sacred Heart School.
The sisters remain actively involved in education, catechesis, care of the sick, pastoral ministry, social services, immigrant and refugee services, and community services in San Antonio. They have made known to all the tenderness and merciful love of the Father Eleven of their members have served/are serving in Peru, Cameroon, Great Britain, Ireland, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Honduras, and France.
