205 YEARS OF FAITH, BROTHERHOOD, AND MISSION
With hearts filled with joy, gratitude, and thanksgiving, we, the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, joyfully celebrate our 205th Founding Anniversary!
For 205 years, we have journeyed together in the mission entrusted to us through the inspiration of our founder, Father André Coindre, who founded our congregation in 1821 in Lyon, France. Inspired by the love and compassion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we have sought to dedicate our lives to the formation of young people, the service of those in need, and the proclamation of God’s love through education, formation, community, and service.
From our humble beginnings in France, our mission has reached different parts of the world. Through the generations, we, the Brothers, together with our lay partners, collaborators, students, families, and friends, continue to carry forward the spirit and mission entrusted to us.
✨ 205 years of God’s faithfulness.
✨ 205 years of brotherhood and mission.
✨ 205 years of touching and transforming lives.
✨ 205 years of responding to God’s call with love and joyful service.
As we celebrate this special milestone, we joyfully look back with grateful hearts—remembering the Brothers who faithfully lived the mission before us and all those who have journeyed with us throughout these 205 years.
We also look forward with hope and renewed commitment, trusting that the Sacred Heart of Jesus will continue to guide us in living our vocation and mission. May we remain faithful witnesses of Christ’s love, especially to the young and to those who are most in need.
With Mary, Mother of the Sacred Heart, we continue our journey, asking her to accompany us and teach us to live with humility, courage, compassion, and unwavering faith.
Happy 205th Founding Anniversary to us, the Brothers of the Sacred Heart!
Today, we celebrate not only our history, but God’s enduring love and faithfulness throughout our journey.
May our hearts always remain united in the mission entrusted to us.
AMETUR COR JESU! AMETUR COR MARIAE!
