Mother Adela Galindo, Foundress SCTJM
Read a short biography of Mother...
 

"You have not only a glorious history to remember and to recount, but also a great history still to be accomplished!
Look to the future, where the Spirit is sending you in order to do even greater things.
Be always ready, faithful to Christ, to the Church,
to your institute and to the men and women of our time"
(Vita Consecrata, n. 110)

Go forth sisters! The Two Hearts have designs of mercy over us " (Mother Adela)


                    WHO WE ARE:
                    The "Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary" are a diocesan religious institute founded in 1990 by Mother Adela Galindo in the Archdiocese of Miami, Florida, USA.

                    We are members of the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious (CMSWR).

“We are called to manifest the reign of love of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary as the building force
for the construction of a new civilization of love, life, truth, and solidarity.”
Mother Adela, Foundress SCTJM

Our Foundress offers the Holy Father the love and unconditional fidelity of our foundation.
