Spiritual NourishmentDevotion to the Sacred Heart
Nano was drawn into the divine dynamic of the Sacred Heart devotion to such an extent that the original title of the Presentation Sisters in 1775 was Sisters of the Charitable Instruction of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On her deathbed, Nano left this legacy of Sacred Heart love to her sisters, saying “Love one another as I have hitherto done.” In the spirit of our foundress, Presentation Sisters throughout the world continue this devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the ministry begun by Nano. Maureen Manion, PBVM, RIP, was the artist of this Sacred Heart of Jesus mosaic, which can be found at Presentation Convent in Aberdeen. The Sacred Heart of Jesus sculpture pictured here is by Mary Southard, CSJ, and is located in the main administrative hallway at Presentation Convent. Sacred Heart MailingEach year the Presentation Sisters send a special appeal to our donors that coincides with the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As we strive to embody this compassionate love of Jesus, we ask for your support in our ministry efforts, which are a reflection of this love.

The Feast of the Sacred Heart has special significance for the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was the mystery of God’s merciful love that drew our foundress, Nano Nagle, to those made poor by the systems of the day. She saw them in a new light - as children loved by God. This experience of God’s merciful love compelled her to reach out to those who did not experience God’s love and light.
