We have been called by God to take an active part in rebuilding the Church, which was born from the Heart of the Crucified Christ.

Flowing out of His open side, the charism entrusted to our  Community is to make the Merciful Love of Christ visible in our service.

We do this through a variety of apostolic activities.  To explore these in more detail, please click on the type of apostolic service on the right that you would like to see.                                    

Our activity in the United States began in 1923, in St. Louis,  Missouri and on April 1, 1925 we moved to Alton, Illinois. The cities in which we serve have grown to include:

St. Louis and Wildwood, Missouri; Rock Island, Springfield, and Champaign, Illinois; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Lincoln and Hastings, Nebraska; Somerset and South Amboy, New Jersey; Washington D.C.; La Crosse, Wisconsin; Steubenville, Ohio; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Kansas City, Kansas; and Vatican City, Rome.
