The World Association of Alumnae and Alumni of the Sacred Heart (AMASC) is the organization that brings together all the alumni of Sacred Heart schools in the world, eager to cultivate mutual aid and friendship among them and to remain faithful to the values received during their schooling.

As alumnae/i, our education is rooted in the Christian vision of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat (1779-1865). Built on respecting the value of each person, with their individual gifts and talents, the organization aims to lead students and alumnae/i to become aware of their responsibility to cultivate and use their talents for the benefit of all, developing a keen sense of social justice that is conducive to action.

Founded in 1966 as an international non-profit association (AISBL) under Belgian law, AMASC’s main objectives are:

• to be at the service of humanity for the construction of a just and united society, with an increased awareness of its social responsibility and a commitment to faith lived in both a personal and community dimension;
• create and maintain bonds of friendship and solidarity among all national federations and associations, in order to create genuine international collaboration;
• cooperate actively and effectively with the Society of the Sacred Heart in its mission and ministries;
• to have an effective voice in the international organizations to which it belongs, with a constant concern for discernment and open-mindedness.

Today, AMASC brings together national associations from six continents, representing hundreds of thousands of alumnae/i around the world.

AMASC is a member of the OMAEC (World Association of Former Students of Catholic Education).
