The Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Bétharram (French: Prêtres du Sacré-Cœur de Jésus de Bétharram) is a Roman Catholic clerical religious congregation of Pontifical Right for men. It was established in Bétharram in 1832 by St. Michael Garicoits as fulfilment of a dream. The task of this congregation, dedicated to the Sacred Heart, was to evangelize the people through missions and to teach the young.^[9] It received formal approval of the Pope after Garicoits' death.^[9]Its members add the nominal letters S.C.I. di Béth. after their names to indicate their membership in the congregation.

They live in small communities of 3-4 persons in Argentina, Brazil, Central African Republic, France, Great Britain, India, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Palestine, Paraguay, Spain, Thailand and Uruguay.
