Summary/Abstract: The year 2020 includes jubilee of two events, namely centenary of the canonisation of Margaret Mary Alacoque and dedication of the Polish nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus done by the Polish Bishops conference. Both occasions provide the opportunity to present the figure and charism of the holy nun of the visitation and additionally zoom in the identity and mission of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In the article the author undertook the historic and spiritual reflection on the role of Margaret Mary in the growth and propagation within the Church of the devotion to the Sacred Heart and portrayed the apostolic zeal of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the Polish soil. The Congregation arrived to Poland in 1928 and started the pastoral work based on the charism of Fr. Leon John Dehon and in the spirit of personal revelations that Margaret Mary Alacoque received from Jesus Christ.
