Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart

The Congregation of the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart is a Roman Catholic religious institute founded in Issoudun, France, on 30 August 1874 by Servant of God Jules Chevalier (1824-1907), the Founder of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.

From the Latin form of its name, Filiae Dominae Nostrae Sacro Corde, it takes the abbreviation FDNSC.

[1] The first Superior General of the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart was Sr Marie Louise Hartzer.

Recently, the order has been active in Papua New Guinea and Kiribati with spiritual and health work.

The convent in Bowral, Hartzer Park, now also functions as a conference centre and retreat.
