| HISTORY |
| THE CONGREGATION OF THE DAUGHTERS OF OUR LADY OF THE SACRED HEART WAS FOUNDED BY PERE JULES CHEVALIER WHO HAD ALREADY FOUNDED THE MISSIONARIES OF THE SACRED HEART IN 1862. TOGETHER WITH THE FIRST SUPERIOR-GENERAL, MARIE LOUISE HARTZER, CHEVALIER HAD DREAMED OF AN ORDER OF SISTERS WHO COULD SUPPORT THE APOSTOLATE OF HIS MISSIONARIES. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY FOUR YOUNG SISTERS SET OUT FOR OCEANIA WHERE THE FATHERS HAD ESTABLISHED SEVERAL MISSIONS. TODAY THE OLSH SISTERS AS THEY ARE GENERALLY KNOWN IN THE ENGLISH SPEAKING WORLD SERVE IN SOUTH AMERICA,AFRICA, ASIA, AUSTRALIA AND OCEANIA EMBRACING EVERYONE WITH THE LOVE OF THE HEART OF JESUS. |
| AUSTRALIAN FOUNDATION |
| THE ARRIVAL OF THE ORDER IN AUSTRALIA IN 1884 WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE A NEW FOUNDATION. IN FACT THE FIVE SISTERS WERE ON THEIR WAY TO PAPUA-NEW GUINEA TO ASSIST THE FATHERS THERE IN THEIR MISSIONARY ENDEAVOURS. HOWEVER, AT THE REQUEST OF CARDINAL MORAN, THE SISTERS TOOK ON RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PARISH SCHOOL AT BOTANY WHERE THE MSC FATHERS WERE WORKING. FROM THIS SMALL BEGINNING THE ORDER SOON SPREAD TO OTHER PARTS OF AUSTRALIA. AUSTRALIAN VOCATIONS FLOWED INTO THE ORDER NECESSITATING THE OPENING OF A NOVITIATE AT KENSINGTON ENABLING THE OLSH SISTERS TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO THE MSC FATHERS WHEREVER THEY WERE CALLED. ALTHOUGH ONE OF THE SMALLER ORDERS WORKING IN AUSTRALIA THEY HAVE SPREAD THE CHARISM OF THEIR FOUNDER TO MANY CORNERS OF THE LAND AND HAD AN INFLUENCE FAR OUTWEIGHING THEIR NUMBERS, A TRIBUTE TO THE DILIGENT PURSUIT OF THEIR APOSTOLATE. |
