Our Congregation is a diocesan Congregation founded by American Maryknoll Bishop Most Rev. William F. Kupfer, M.M. in 1952 in Taiwan. He was the Bishop of Taichung Diocese in the middle part of Taiwan during that time. Anticipating the need of the local sisters to assist the Maryknoll Missionaries in pastoral work to evangelize the people in Taiwan, he founded the Congregation of Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and gained help from the Daughters of Charity who were the formators.

In 1993, upon the invitation of the priests of St. Joseph School, Philippines, we embarked to be based here in order to continue the missionary work started by them. Our apostolate includes education, pastoral ministry and social work.

In 2000, we were able to send Sisters to Vietnam to found a convent there. In just six years, with God's grace and blessing, there are several Vietnamese vocations.

In 2003, we began our novitiate here in Naga City.

We are called to be compassionate and humble disciples of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus, striving to offer ourselves as a pleasing sacrifice to the Lord.
