FIGLIE DEL SACRATISSIMO CUORE DI GESÙ

Italian original Cite

DAUGHTERS OF THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS. - It originated as a Congregation of diocesan right in the apostolic prefecture of Niigata by decree of 31 May 1920. The foundress was the German sister Teresa Ilerhaus, who had left the Congregation of the Servants of the Holy Spirit for this purpose. Having become a Japanese citizen, she changed her surname to that of Misono.

The Congregation has the purpose of assisting the apostolate of missionaries with social, charitable and educational works. In 1938 the generalate house was transferred to the diocese of Yokohama, and specifically to Fujisawa. From Propaganda, on 7 Apr. 1949, it obtained the «decretum laudis» and the approval of the Constitutions «ad sepennium». It now numbers 150 sisters, all Japanese, who work in nine centers scattered throughout Japan.
