We commit ourselves to give witness to JPIC through these three international structures. We hope to synergize our efforts and give a stronger voice to our message of hope.

JPIC International of the religious of the Sacred Heart

JPIC International coordinates international JPIC efforts along the lines of shared regional concerns and/or the emergent JPIC themes and intuitions, and do so in coordination with existing international commissions and networks of the Society of the Sacred Heart.

The JPIC International office aims to:

  • Coordinate JPIC actions throughout the provinces and regions that will support local action, empower leadership, and strengthen responsibility at the grassroots of the Society.
  • Develop the imperatives of the JPIC document, Artisans of Hope, according to experience and new insights of RSCJ and Family of the Sacred Heart.
  • Collaborate with other networks in many forms.

Imperatives

Washing One Another’s Feet

In our pursuit of JPIC, we inevitably come face-to-face with the significant role that POWER plays in our life and mission – as individuals and communities, in the relationships and structures that underpin our societies and nations, as well as in our vision of the world and hope for the future.

Transforming and Being Transformed

JPIC is also a work of structural transformation that involves the Spirit: communal, social, political, economic, ecological, planetary, and cosmic transformation. One integrated movement weaves together the contemplative and active aspects of our Sacred Heart charism.

Care for Our Common Home

The call to care for our common home, which is replete with diverse beauty, holds unprecedented urgency. Driven by an ethic of caring about the future of our planet we along with so many others responding to this call seek creative and effective ways to heed this urgency.

Welcoming People on the Move

In a painful mix of hope and desperation, countless people risk their lives to escape war, persecution, poverty and natural disasters. Our commitment to JPIC compels us to re-examine how we stand in solidarity with those who are at these “frontiers.”

JPIC video – presentation of our 4 imperatives

As Society of the Sacred Heart, we choose to express our mission today around a set of four global Apostolic Priorities: Education, Spirituality, Formation and JPIC.

“The four Apostolic Priorities call us – both RSCJ and partners in mission – to live out all our apostolic commitments in a world deeply in need of love, hope and compassion”. General Chapter 2024
