SOCIETÀ DEL DIVIN CUORE DI GESÙ (BRESLAVIA). — Founded in Breslavia in 1907 by Gabriella Klausa, as a society without vows.
The Institute’s special purpose is charitable work, especially toward children and young people who are endangered, sickly, and abandoned, toward families, and toward heretics. On 19 July 1930, the decree of praise and temporary approval of the Constitutions were issued; these were definitively sanctioned on 3 Aug. 1937. The sisters have no religious habit and number only 46 in 5 houses.
