About Us
We the Sisters of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus are a Religious congregation of women whose dedication to the love and service of God and our fellow men and women takes special inspiration from the Eucharistic Heart of Christ. The love of His Sacred Heart moved Him to give us the Sacrament of the Eucharist. In this Sacrament He has placed in our hands, forever, a worthy offering of praise and thanksgiving to God for all that He has done for us.
He brings us together as companions at the same table, as sharers of the one bread and the one cup. He becomes present to us, permanently in His human as well as in His Divine reality -- as the "Word made flesh" dwelling among us. He reminds us daily of the
sorrow and suffering which He willingly accepted to redeem us, and He promises us the joy of the new life which He won for us.
When Jesus gave us the Eucharist, He told us to do what He did in memory of Him. The Sisters try to respondto the love of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus by making their very lives a living memorial to Christ. They offer
each day's prayer and work as worship and thanks to God. They strive to make the world more aware of Jesus'
presence in the Eucharist by showing forth His holiness in their manner of life, in their prayerfulness, their
chastity, their poverty and their obedience; and in their apostolic love and service of all mankind. They life and
labor together in a unity of mind and heart brought about by their communion with Jesus in the Eucharist.
They willingly accept the hardship required by the following of Christ. They persevere in their dedication,
confidently, serenely and joyfully, keeping in mind the strength that Jesus gives and the reward that He promises.
