OLSH CLIENT Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart PROJECT DESCRIPTION The first five daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart to arrive in Australia, set out from France by ship on October 22, 1884 and landed in Botany Bay, Sydney on January 31, 1885. Their destination was the missions of Oceania. They were met by Fr. Navarre, MSC who had come from Thursday Island to greet them, and by Fr. Joly, a Marist who was waiting to take them up the Harbour to Villa Maria, the headquarters of the Marists. A small house on the property was placed at their disposal until they could have a convent of their own.
