to the online presence of the Adoration Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
We are a religious institute founded to be a living sign of love, unity, and forgiveness in a broken and divided world. It is our sincere prayer that you will continually experience love in your heart and share it with those around you, so that we may truly be one, as Christ desires.
The Institute of the Adoration Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is an indigenous community founded in the Archdiocese of Benin City, Edo State, on April 6, 1975, by the late Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Benin City, Most Rev. P. E. Ekpu. The Sacred Heart of Jesus serves as our model and endless inspiration, guiding us to do all things purely out of love for the One who called us—Christ. We uphold "Unity in diversity" as the very nucleus of our institute, a value beautifully reflected in our religious habit, which uniquely embodies modesty, elegance, and African-ness.
We express our love for God through devoted service to humanity. Rooted in our local culture—striving to integrate all that is good, true, and beautiful within it—our hands and hearts reach out through spreading devotion to the Sacred Heart, education and healthcare, counseling and spiritual retreats, elevating the dignity of downtrodden womanhood and combating human trafficking, and broad social works. You are warmly invited to explore our dedicated pages to learn more about each of these ministries.
We were founded for one supreme aim: to help realize Jesus’ prayer, "That they may be one" (John 17:21–22).
Our Motto is UT UNUM SINT and our greeting is IN JESUS, WE ARE ONE!
Thank you for visiting us. May your time here draw you closer to His heart.
