History of Education in England

RSHM HISTORY - - International Beginnings

   England - 1872

The first English foundation of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary was made in response to an invitation from Fr. Thomas Kelly, parish priest of St. James, Bootle, Liverpool, who was looking for a community of women religious to help him to found parish schools where children could be instructed in the Catholic religion. A group of sisters was sent from Béziers to Liverpool in 1872.

Work got under way quickly and prospered, expanding to several other places: Barrow-in-Furness, London, Carlisle, and Cromer. One group that profited most from the presence of the RSHM in England was the Catholic children from ages five to thirteen for whom the Education Act of 1870 made schooling compulsory. Throughout the Liverpool area, the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary staffed numerous parish schools and, over the years, taught thousands of students.

Early days at the school in Seaforth, Liverpool, England

In London, Liverpool and many other areas of England, RSHM sisters are involved today in college education, school chaplaincy, counseling, retreats, spiritual direction, parish ministry, visiting the sick and homebound, and ministry with the homeless and with adults with learning disabilities.
