| Our Religious Community at the Villa
Lewiston, New York is the center of the Congregation’s
activities in the United States. Purchased in July 1974, the
building was in excellent condition, and with the addition
of living quarters, the perfect place from which the Sisters
could serve the community was established. The Villa not only
houses the Sisters, but also accommodates their Private Elementary
School - grades Kindergarten through Fifth and Preschool.
The Sisters of the Sacred Heart , now serving the community
for 50 years, have prepared over 500 children for their First
Holy Communion and have educated over 3000 students in the
elementary grades.
Young
women sincerely interested in consecrating themselves to the
service of God spend their period of formation at the Novitiate,
also found at the Villa.
Since 1985, some young women from different parts of the world
have joined the Sisters at Villa and have consecrated themselves
as Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Since then, they
have continued the mission of educating the young children
at Sacred Heart Villa School.
The Congregation has grown to over 650 Sisters world-wide
and has seen its Mother Founderss, Maria Schinina beatified
on November 4, 1990.
