Dear Sr Phillippa

I am writing to extend my heartfelt congratulations and deepest gratitude on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. This milestone marks a century and a half of dedication, compassion, and unwavering service to communities around the world, and it is an extraordinary achievement that deserves to be celebrated with the utmost reverence.

Here in the Northern Territory, we are particularly grateful for the 116 years of your profound impact since the arrival of Sisters Eustille Sayers, Dominica O'Sullivan, Bertrand Mcsweeny, Kieran Doyle, and Hyacinth Lenehan in Darwin in 1908. These pioneering women embarked on a journey filled with challenges and opportunities, laying the groundwork for the invaluable contributions that your congregation has made across our region.
