Quick Summary

The Fratres a Sacratissimo Corde Iesu, also known as the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, is a Roman Catholic religious order founded by André Coindre in France in 1821. This order is primarily dedicated to high school and elementary school education and also functions as a missionary society.1

Coindre was influenced by the aftermath of the French Revolution and played a role in France's ecclesiastical reconstruction. He established an orphanage and trade school for homeless boys, which led to the founding of his religious congregation. The order received final approbation from Pope Pius XI in 1927 and has since expanded its missions globally, with its motherhouse now in Rome. The Society of the Sacred Heart, a related congregation of women founded by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat in 1800, also focuses on the education of girls.123
