The Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary is a religious congregation which begun in France during the turmoil of the 1860’s. Father François Delaplace, C.S.Sp. founder of the congregation, was concerned about the children in Paris who were left abandoned. He prayed to know what it was the Lord willed of him for these children. |

The congregation was sensitive to the great needs of the Church in France. This sensitivity deepened to include the needs of the Church in the United States when in 1889, the sisters responded to a request to serve at St.Viator’s College, Bourbonnais, Illinois. From St.Viator’s College, the work of the sisters expanded to include boarding schools for girls, hospitals and parochial schools |
