The Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart were founded in Penola, South Australia in 1866 by Mary MacKillop and Father Julian Tenison Woods. In 1888, when Rome formally approved the Congregation, the Mother House officially moved to Sydney. Josephite houses in South Australia formed the Adelaide and Port Augusta Provinces. In 1893 they amalgamated to become the South Australian Province. In 2013, the South Australian sisters joined with the sisters in Western Australia, Northern Territory, and Timor-Leste, to form the ‘CentreWest Region’ of the Congregation.
