The Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus  is a religious congregation founded in Germany on March 25, 1900 by Fr. Hubert Linckens, MSC. He gave it the name, charism and spirituality of his own congregation whose founder was Fr. Jules Chevalier.

In a time of religious indifference and individualism, as well as discrimination of the poor and marginalized, Fr. Chevalier discovered in the Heart of Christ the gratuitous and compassionate love of God for humankind. He believed that this love is a "remedy" for the evils of the time. Motivated by his experience of God and a world in need, Chevalier felt urged to make this LOVE known to all people. He expressed this in our motto: "May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be loved everywhere".
   
Fr. Linckens, filled with the charism and spirituality of Fr. Chevalier, and in response to a call to evangelize Papua New Guinea, put our congregation at the service of the Church and the world.

The congregation was from its very beginning motivated by a missionary spirit for a mission "without limits", open to respond to the challenges and needs of the time and place in whatever ministry, with a preferential option for the poor and excluded.

Today the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus are present in 17 countries on all continents: Australia, China, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Germany, Guatemala, India, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Namibia, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Roumania, Spain, and the United States.
