We, Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary, are a religious institute of Diocesan right, founded by Mother Adela Galindo, in the Archdioceses of Miami. Mother Adela is also the foundress of the Family of the Pierced Hearts, made up of priests, deacons, and lay persons who are associated to the spirituality and the apostolic mission of the Congregation.
"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)
We invite you to continue looking through the links on the side of this page to get to know our religous community in greater depth.
“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.”
Mother Adela Galindo, SCTJM
Some fundamental elements of our Spiritual Charism include: Eucharistic adoration and contemplation; openness to the power of the Holy Spirit and to the charisms; total consecration and identification with the Heart of Mary; to love, think and live in the heart of the Church; to daily seek conversion in the active exercise of virtue; to live and do all things in a spirit of prayer, of heroic love and of humble service in the fulfillment of duty; to live fraternal life with joy and simplicity of heart; to have a mature, generous and responsible disposition to embrace every mission entrusted to each sister; integral formation, covering all areas of the consecrated person; apostolic ardor: enflaming the world with the love of the Pierced Hearts. We desire to be an offering of love and consolation to the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary by choosing in all things the perfection of love. May love always triumph!.
As for women interested in our community, we welcome young, single women between the ages of 18 and 35 who have never been married and who desire to offer their lives in humble and joyful love, prayer, and consolation to the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary, at the service of the New Evangelization to build the New Civilization of love in the heart of the Church and in the heart of the world. They should have at least a high school diploma and preferably some upper-level studies. They should be willing to learn to write and speak English and Spanish since our community is bilingual and ministers and serves in both languages.
