We the Sisters of the Holy Angels are called to be lowly message and messagers of Love, Peace and Joy to the less priveleged
The Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Angels lives the Ignatian spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola, rooted in seeking and finding God in all things. Our life is both contemplative and active: nourished by prayer and the Spiritual Exercises, and expressed in mission and service. With a spirit of discernment, we strive to respond generously to God’s will, working for the greater glory of God (Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam). Guided by the Eucharist and Mary, Queen of Angels, we live joyfully as companions of Jesus, serving the Church, the poor, and the vulnerable with love and simplicity.
The Sisters of the Holy Angels cherish a profound devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, source of love, mercy, and compassion. In His Heart they find strength to live in humility, forgiveness, and service. This devotion inspires their prayer, community life, and apostolic mission, calling them to console, heal, and bring hope where there is pain. By uniting themselves with the Heart of Christ—pierced yet overflowing with love—they are moved to serve especially the poor and vulnerable. Their daily offering becomes an act of reparation and love, reflecting the Heart of Jesus to the world.
As Sisters of the Holy Angels, we look to St. Michael the Archangel, our patron and protector, for strength and inspiration. He is the defender of God’s people, a guardian of truth and justice, and a model of unwavering fidelity. His courage challenges us to remain steadfast in prayer and faithful in our vocation. Like St. Michael, we are called to stand firm against evil with humility, perseverance, and trust in God’s power. Under his protection, we find courage to live our consecration joyfully, confident that God’s love will always triumph in us and in our mission.
