FERVENT DAUGHTERS OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

The Fervent Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (FDSHJ) was founded by Mother Marykutty Puthuparampil FDSHJ on 18 April 1981 at Manacachira, Perunna, in the Archdiocese of Changanacherry, Kerala State, South India under the patronage and guidance of his Eminence Cardinal Antony Padiyara, the Archbishop of Changanacherry. She was given the special Charism by our Lord to spread the devotion to His Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through Family Apostolate, Parish Apostolate and Perpetual Adoration. The Motto of the FDSHJ is ‘’AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM.” (For the Greater Glory of God.)
