A Catholic Organization

Rev. Thierry de Roucy founded Heart’s Home in 1990 during his time as the General Superior of the Servants of Jesus and Mary Congregation. He envi­sioned Heart’s Home as a pres­ence of warmth and con­so­la­tion to humanity as Mary was to her son Jesus at the foot of the Cross.

In 2000, Heart’s Home was offi­cially approved by the Roman Catholic Church through Estanislao Esteban Cardinal Karlic, Archbishop of Parana (in Argentina) as a Private Association of the Faithful.

Heart’s Home is acknowl­edged by the bishops of the dio­ceses where it is estab­lished.

In the US, Heart’s Home is an active member of the Council of Ecclesial Movements and New Communities of the Archdiocese of New York.

The various branches of Heart’s Home:
