The Mission given to Sophia Education Ministries by the Society of the Sacred Heart is to discover the Heart of Jesus and make the love of that Heart known to others.
What is found in the Heart of Jesus? The love of God for each human being! This love is unconditionally given to each of us and an invitation to ensure that all with whom we build genuine relationships, in our schools and in other ways we work, are given love. This love is made real to others when we give them Respect, Dignity and the right to become who they truly are.
This Mission is underpinned by the Five Goals of Sacred Heart Education
- Personal and Active Faith in God
- Deep Respect for intellectual values
- Building Community as a Christian value
- Social awareness which impels to action
- Personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom
From this Mission, the foundress of the Society of the Sacred Heart Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat revealed that, “For the sake of one child, I would have founded the Society of the Sacred Heart.” For that child, Sophia continues our mission to glorify the Heart of Jesus in our schools.
