General presentation
2008 General Chapter

Religious of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (rscj) met in Peru from rscj logoJuly 16 to August 20, 2008, to share, celebrate and discern orientations for their life and mission (General Chapter). This mission is lived and shared with many lay people in the 43 countries where the Society is present.

There was a wealth of expression in dance, song, symbolic gesture and images at this intercultural meeting… There are too, the texts of the Chapter which are in the process of being translated.

To find out more, we invite you to contact the religious of the Sacred Heart in your country.
