SINCE 2005
The Sacred Heart of Jesus first called Pro Ecclesia Sancta to the United States by way of California. Two priests arrived in 2005 and got to work in this land of plentiful harvest in parishes, drawing families closer to the Sacred Heart. The long awaited sisters arrived in 2020, supporting the mission to share the call to holiness with all those we encounter.

But God is powerful, and can call great things out of nothing.”

Where we
SERVE
Our priests and brothers serve at Holy Spirit and St. Lawrence Parishes. Both our brothers and sisters also serve our lay movement instilling in its members the charism our founder has left us. We also serve in a variety of ways in the surrounding areas, bringing the love of the Sacred Heart to the souls the Lord has entrusted to us.
