The Daughters of our Lady of the Sacred Heart and the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart have held a joyful commemoration in Sydney of the 200th Anniversary since the birth of their founder, Fr Jules Chevalier.
In the OLSH Mother House in Kensington, the OLSH Sisters and MSC Brothers came together for a Eucharistic celebration last month, presided over by the MSC Provincial, Fr Stephen Hackett, concelebrated by brother MSC Priests.

“Following the Mass, we gathered for a beautiful morning tea, which included the unveiling of a commissioned artwork of Mother Marie Louise Hartzer and Fr Jules Chevalier by our Provincial Sr Philippa Murphy FDNSC, alongside a commemorative bust of our founder Fr Jules Chevalier to be housed in our Mother House,” the Sisters said in an article on the MSC website.
“On this special and significant milestone for our congregation, we extend our warmest wishes and blessing to all. May the vision and spirit of Fr Jules Chevalier continue to ignite our hearts, inspiring us to embody divine love as envisioned by him, forever nurturing the mission of being the heart of God here on earth.”
