Cristian Puliche Golondrino is from Cajibio-Cauca, Colombia. Cristian tells us about what attracted him to the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart "I entered this community because I felt Heaven's call, and I wanted to be a missionary to spread the love of God to all men and women of good heart. I feel that the vocation to the religious life is the call that God has made to me and for that reason I am here in order to respond to him that loved me first..." In his free time, Cristian enjoys spending time with his large family. Cristian is in his second year of Theology.

Tokabwebwe Kiaman is from Tarawa, Republic of Karibati (an island in the central Pacific Ocean.) Tokabwebwe tells us about what attracted him to the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart "...First is about the community life, despite the diversity of people, we always live together in harmony and peace. We always have troubles but we solve it in a healthy way. Another is the brotherhood spirit that I experience in the life of the priests and the brothers. We have been taught in our novitiate that we all become MSCs first before we become a priest, meaning we are all the same...They really show it by calling each other brother rather than father..." In his free time, Tokabwebwe enjoys playing basketball and volleyball; some of his hobbies include playing guitar for the liturgy. Tokabwebwe is in his third year of Theology.

Emmanuel Ruy is from Vitoria, Espirito Santo, Brazil. Emmanuel tells us about what attracted him to the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart "I remember that one day I was invited to make the vocational meetings which enabled me to open a new curtain on the horizon of my life. After being invited, I accepted and today I am making my way for conversion. In this congregation I am discovering the problems that have affected me since I was a child, seeking spiritual growth and learning to accept myself to accept the others. I am grateful to God for this opportunity and may the Sacred Heart of Jesus be loved everywhere!" Emmanuel is very young, but ambitious and eager to follow his calling from God.

Georges Zang Amougou is from Awae-Centre, Cameroon. Georges tells us about what attracted him to the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart "I had a great devotion for the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I did not see in him a cure for the world like Father Jules Chevalier, but as a place where my own healing. I felt love by this heart so deeply that I multiplied the novenas. It was my safety, my reason for hoping that I would lose a lot. This heart, I am still certain, will give me salvation. This attraction to the Sacred Heart is the primary cause of my entry into the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart congregation. How not to share the blessings that God's love has brought in my life so that others in return seek it." In his free time, Georges enjoys helping the poor and spreading the word of God. Georges is in his third year of Theology.
