Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

The Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a Congregation of religious women that claims Mother Clelia Merloni as its foundress, first arrived in St. Louis to bring the Faith to the Italian immigrants. Since those early years downtown when they were known as “Missionary Zelatrices of the Sacred Heart,” the Sisters have served in over 20 different locations in greater St. Louis.  The Apostles’ role in the great story of the Archdiocese of St. Louis began on January 24, 1913.
