Welcome to the Priests of the Sacred Heart Planned Giving web site

The Priests of the Sacred Heart are grateful for your interest in our Congregation and its mission. Since 1878 we have been striving to reflect to the world the compassion and mercy of the Heart of Jesus. Our hope is to serve you with helpful information, and to inspire you to respond to God's love in your life.

A number of our friends support our mission through gift annuities, life income gifts, and other plans. They have told us how their gifts to us also are a benefit to them! Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning. To learn more about the different types of planned giving read the Guide to Planned Giving.

Helping to Enable God's Work
Growing up in Croatia, Frances and her family were inspired and devoted to the Sacred Heart. Soon after coming to America in 1939, she learned of the Priests of the Sacred Heart through "their great work in spreading the word of God and helping the poor." More on Helping to Enable God's Work >>.

I admired the priests, I never forgot them...
"I first heard of the Priests of the Sacred Heart when I was in India, Bangladesh Territory in 1943-1944. We were moving up to the war front and had to wait for supplies. The Sacred Heart Fathers had an orphanage nearby and we came to know them. I admired the priests for their work and I never forgot them." More on I admired the priests, I never forgot them... >>.
