Visitation Spirit
… for a deeper daily devotion
Watch Our New Video on the Life of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque is known for the visions of Jesus Christ that she received in the 1600’s for the purpose of enhancing devotion to the Sacred Heart. In this interview, first broadcast on the Saints & Sages podcast, Visitation Sister Sr. Susan Marie explores the difficult mission of the young Sr. Margaret Mary as she struggled to bring attention to this devotion amid controversy and disagreement.

A Deep and Practical Spirituality
The Visitation Order holds hidden treasures and resources for serious seekers of a deeply interior spiritual life.
Whether you are a lay person interested in plunging more fully into a way of daily devotion, or even considering a possible vocation to the monastic Visitandine tradition, we invite you to walk a spiritual avenue with our Founders, Saints and Sisters into the Love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Saint Francis de Sales, our Founder, was a Bishop and was named a Doctor of the Church, the “Doctor of Love,” in 1877. He emphasized a spirituality for the laity centuries ago and some of his writings will be presented for your guidance.
Our Foundress, Saint Jane de Chantal, was a wife, mother and widow before collaborating with her spiritual director, St. Francis de Sales, in establishing the Visitation. Her life and interior growth continues to provide an example to people today.
With our Holy Father, Pope Francis, and all religious, we remain committed as Visitandines to “Wake Up the World!”
