The Daughters of the Heart of Mary are twenty-first century ecclesial women of many nations and cultures alive with the gifts of the Spirit. Following the example of the original Christian communities, our spirituality is rooted in Sacred Scripture and is exemplified in lives and ministries strengthened by communal prayer and spiritual sharing.

Faithful to the charism of our Society we live an authentic, vowed religious life without any distinguishing sign or specific apostolate. Our vocation is to live in the midst of the world to love better and respond to the need of God’s people. We challenge those societal norms and laws that devalue the sanctity of human life, and the integrity of creation. We live simply, content with the honest material necessities, so that we may walk in authentic solidarity with those who are the most vulnerable in our society in order to bring about the reign of God on earth.


In the spirit of our Founders Marie Adèlaïde de Cicé and Pierre Joseph Picot de Clorivière, with contemplative hearts we seek truth, promote peace, and reverence all life in the name of Jesus, who is our center and his mother, who is our model.
