Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus explained
The Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus is a community of religious sisters in the Roman Catholic church that originated in 2007. In 2010, the Handmaids became an Association of the Christian faithful, based in New Ulm, Minnesota, with the goal of becoming a diocesan religious institute.[1]
The community was founded by Sr. Mary Clare Roufs, a graduate of University of St. Thomas.[2] [3] The community only accepts applicants who are younger than 35. Sisters wear a religious habit and often teach in Catholic schools, as well as participating in religious life.[4] In addition to the mother house in New Ulm, the congregation has communities in Duluth, Saint Paul, and Dickinson, North Dakota.[5] [6]
