MISSIONARI DEI SACRI CUORI DI GESÙ E MARIA (Majorca). — A religious congregation founded by Fr. Gioacchino Rossellò Ferrà and canonically erected by the Bishop of Majorca on 17 August 1890. On 6 May 1932 it received the decree of praise.

Its purpose is to propagate devotion to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, defend the Catholic faith, and promote spiritual progress in society through missions among Catholics and non-believers, spiritual exercises, preaching, and the education of youth.

Today the congregation consists of 80 priests, 30 lay brothers, 35 students, 20 novices, and 200 young students distributed across three apostolic schools.
