Handmaids of the Heart of Jesus

As diocesan sisters, we bring a feminine consecrated presence to parishes. Our apostolates include catechesis/faith formation, youth ministry, family life/marriage preparation, liturgy coordination, liturgical music, sacristy work, visitation of the sick and elderly, and education in Catholic schools.

The Handmaids were established as a public association of the lay faithful in 2010 in the Diocese of New Ulm, Minnesota, with the intention of becoming a religious community of diocesan right.
