RSHM Volunteer Opportunity!


Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (RSHM) Volunteer Program

RSHM is currently accepting applications for one year domestic (U.S.) volunteers to serve with the RSHM working in diverse ministries, such as pastoral ministry, education, social work, or work in a law office.

About RSHM:
The Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary have dedicated their lives in service to others through their various ministries: education, pastoral ministries, retreat and spiritual direction, health care, social work, peace and justice advocacy, to promote life, especially in those situations where it is denied, devalued, or diminished.  

About the program:
One year volunteers will commit themselves to the Five Program Values: community, simple living, social justice, zeal, and spirituality.  The program is very similar to the Jesuit Volunteer Corp, asking volunteers to live in intentional community, focus on social justice, simple living and spirituality. They have extended their deadline and are still accepting applications for this September.
