MSC SISTERS
The Congregation of the Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (MSC – Missionari Sacratissimi Cordis) is a religious congregation founded in Germany on March 25, 1900 by Fr. Hubert Linckens, MSC. He gave us the name, charism and spirituality of his own congregation whose founder was Fr. Jules Chevalier. Fr. Jules Chevalier is considered as the Spiritual Founder and Fr. Hubert Linckens is known as the Historical Founder of the Congregation.

CHARISM AND SPIRITUALITY
The charism, spirituality and mission of the MSC Sisters are rooted in Fr. Jules Chevalier’s experience of God’s love revealed in the Heart of Christ. His ardent desire to manifest God’s love to humanity of his time motivated him to spell out the motto – “May the Sacred Heart of Jesus Be Everywhere Loved.” The charism, spirituality and mission particularly emphases three main aspects:
• Concern for all people,
• belief in the loving kindness of God revealed in Christ,
• and the call to make this loving kindness of God visible through our work and our living in charity and kindness.
