HANDMAIDS OF THE HEART OF JESUS
-
"We, the Institute of the Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus (Ancillae Cordis Jesu), feel called to live in imitation of Mary as handmaid, virgin, bride, and mother in the diocesan life of the Church, carrying out the New Evangelization in parishes."
After nearly 50 years, the convent is full again! The Sisters have returned, and we are most grateful to have them in our community. Sister Mary Elizabeth and Sister Mary Pieta are both involved at our School and in our Parish.
Contact the Sisters at handmaids.hopkins@gmail.com or 952-234-1787.
