Father Zbigniew, due to his function, is responsible for the overall functioning of the Secretariat of Foreign Missions. His personal sphere of activity is taking care of all Polish SCJ missionaries, contact with their families and foreign missionary volunteering program. His interest includes discovering new places and people. This led him to the missions in South Africa. He mentions the missionary vocation and the providence of God as the main “culprits” of this step. He brought the nickname "Ziggy" from his mission in South Africa, as well as a passion for golf. Sometimes he turns the lawn into a golf greens to practice, and the green table turns into a community relaxing place to play a game of bridge. He also does not despise a good book, but due to the lack of time, he removes detective crimes from the list and reads papal encyclicals instead.

Father Piotr is the head of the fundraising department at the Secretariat of Foreign Missions of Priests of the Heart. On a daily basis, he coordinates the work of two offices - in Olsztyn and Lublin, so he especially cares that everyone has something to do. Once he had the idea of helping missions "without money" and that is how “We collect it” was born. Apparently, the Holy Spirit had his hand in it. By the way, in similar way the Catholic jewellery brand Coriss was created. In his free time, he rides the bicycle, runs, swims and plays football. His favourite prayer is adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. He loves to visit missionary outposts supported by the mission office, and secretly dreams of his own mission experience, preferably in the Philippines.

Maciej is a self-made man orchestra, and it is difficult to assign his daily duties in the Secretariat to a specific department. Sometimes he fills himself up graphically in Photoshop, and sometimes he sits up to open up his ears in systems and databases. Maciej prepares and coordinates personalized shipments to donors, as well as the work of colleagues in the Lublin branch. He also designs websites. Privately, together with his wife Kinga, he takes care of two happy little ones whose names, just like their mothers, begin with the letter K. He loves the Tatra Mountains with a sincere love. He spends his free time with strategic level hard board games (and claims that it is possible to rest at the same time).
Father Marek is responsible for Mass intentions. He not only accepts requests to celebrate Holy Mass, but also helps in formulating intentions, which often - due to the complexity of the problem - is not so simple and requires an in-depth interview. In addition to phone calls and replying to e-mails, he coordinates the allocation of intentions to the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in Chad, Congo, Albania and Transnistria. He himself spent 27 years in Africa, where he held the position of the provincial (i.e. the superior of the South African province). After a hard day's work, he likes to rest with good music (which in his case means mainly jazz) or an interesting book. Eschatology, philosophy and psychology are the areas that he most willingly explores in the pages of his rich library.

She also takes care of the Coriss store service, contacts with customers and shipping. For many years, handicraft has been her passion also outside of work.
