Welcome to The Daughters of the Heart of Mary
On the death of Pope Francis
The United States Province of the Daughters of the Heart of Mary mourns the passing of Pope Francis. As he joins the great cloud of witnesses for justice, peace, and solidarity for all people, may the lessons he taught us, and the witness of his life inspire us to be the hands and feet of Christ in service to all of God’s people.
May eternal rest grant unto our spiritual leader Pope Francis, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

U.S. Provincial
Our Society is a world-wide congregation of vowed women religious founded in 1790 through the inspiration of a Jesuit, Fr. Pierre Joseph de Clorivière SJ, and a lay woman, Marie Adèlaïde de Cicé, who ardently desired to imitate Our Blessed Mother and the early Christians in their way of life.
In the 21st Century, we live our charism to respond to the needs of the time. We continue to foster and support life in a world in travail.
As part of a global congregation, the U.S. Province of the Daughters of the Heart of Mary embraces diversity, which is represented among our members in the United States and abroad.
In the spirit of our Founders, and with contemplative hearts, we seek truth, promote peace, and reverence all life in the name of Jesus, who is our center, and his mother Mary, who is our model.
