The imitation of Jesus Christ on the way of the Evangelical Counsels according to the charisma offered to fr Leon Dehon, the founder of the Congregation of Priests of the Sacred Heart, constitutes a special vocation of Priests of the Sacred Heart. They imitate Jesus Christ – chaste, poor and obedient – living according to charisma of their founder and putting into practice the Evangelical Counsels on the their specific dehonian spirituality. Fr Dehon encourages his spiritual sons to pure love, to the total sacrifice made of themselves, and to count implicitly on God’s will. All these three elements make up the spirit of reparation, that was so important for the founder of the Congregation of Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and for the spirituality of his Congregation. Religious consecration in our dehonian spirituality combines both: the spirit of reparation and religious vows, that are in the Church one of the ways to imitate Christ and at the same time a confession and a sign of the Holy Trinity. In our dehonian spirituality the life according to the Evangelical Counsels becomes a practice of pure love, full of sell-sacrifice and implicit entrustment to God’s will.

Mission Seminary of the Sacred Heart Fathers in Stadniki was established in 1964. One of the major difficulties, which the Seminary struggled with from the beginning, was inadequate staff of SCJ’s professors. Beside inner difficulties in the communist period of PRL in the life of Seminary appeared also same external problems, e.g. appointment to the army from different levels of seminarians. One of the most important events in the 50-years history of Mission Seminary was to sign an agreement on scientific cooperation with the Pontifical Faculty of Theology in Cracow in 1980 (actually the Pontifical University of John Paul II). In this way, the Sacred Hear students were given the great opportunity to complete their studies with the title of Master of Theology. The dynamic development of the SCJ Seminary connects to the significant increase in the number of students in the 80's. The large group of polish students joined the students from abroad mostly from the Eastern Europe. At that time, the students undertake an amazing variety of practice in the pastoral field. After the political changes in 1989 the involvement of the students on this field even more extended. Along with the new possibilities of travelling abroad and deepening of international cooperation with other provinces, the students were given the new opportunity to participate in foreign language courses in Ireland, France and Germany. Furthermore, it should mark that the development of the Seminary was made possible through the efforts and the work of the Management Boards, as well as professors, employees and lay people who financially supported the special work of education.

This article aims to show the vocation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart in the ecclesial context. In the light of reflection of Vatican Council II each and individual religious vocation, as well as all the religious life, is firmly inscribed in the life of the Church itself. In this context the vocation and the mission of the Congregation of the Sacred Heart shall be placed as well. At first, the figure of the Founder of the Congregation, of father Leo Dehon, is presented as of a man who in his vocation was fully loyal and committed to the Church. Then the ecclesial nature of the SCJ vocation is discussed on the base of the current Constitutions of the Congregation; and finally, the mission of Polish Priests of the Sacred Heart in the local and universal Church is presented. Outlined issues help us to state that the Congregation of the Sacred Heart, which was established primarily to address the needs of the Church of Fr Dehon’s times, even today, as it is clearly seen on the example of the Polish Province of the Congregation, through its own charism and ministry partakes in the Church’s evangelizing mission of our time. The Priests of the Sacred Heart are present in a wide circle of the Church’s mission, both in distant countries, as the mission ad gentes and in the areas of the new evangelization which embraces the countries of Eastern and Western Europe as well. Wherever the Congregation is present, it carries out its mission in a close cooperation and under the pastoral custody of the Shepherds of the local Churches. Also today, as it was in the time of the Founder, the Congregation enters into those areas of human life, which the most demand support and evangelization. In this way, it is naturally complementing the pastoral ministry of the diocesan churches.
