Priests and Brothers are present in 52 countries, proclaiming the Love of God fully revealed in and through the Heart of His Son, Jesus Christ, in season and out of season to the heartless, dehumanized and wounded world. This Roman Catholic religious congregatation was founded by Fr. Jules Chevalier, MSC in Issoudun, France on Dec. 8, 1854, which was the date of the proclamation of the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception. In the last quarter of the 19th Century, Pope Leo XIII entrusted the whole area of Micronesia and Melanesia areas (to which Papua New Guinea belongs) to the M.S.C. congregation. It was the most difficult missionary endeavor of the congregation. But God is so generous that after the acceptance of the Micronesia/Melanesia mission, the congregation experienced phenomenal growth in the neighboring countries in Europe. The prayer and motto of the MSC congregation is: "May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be loved everywhere and forever." We call on the young people to answer the call of God to be "apostles of His love" and to be Missionaries of the Sacred Heart!
