Priests of the Sacred Heart - Canada
Father Dehon, our Founder, was a person who placed great value on understanding
the real hopes, disappointments and hungers that exist among people. This
was his starting point for ministry. It led to a broad scope of ministry
through which people could experience the limitless love of the Heart of
God. His priorities were ministry to workers and the poor, education, and
the missionary activity.

of varied ministry since 1910. Ministry has included: |
