Religious of the Sacred Heart

The Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (RCSJ) were the first women's congregation of Ignatian spirituality in the US.

Founded in France by St Madeline Sophie Barat, the RSCJ were brought to the US by St Rose Phillipine Duchesne.

When the college was moved, the big building became the Augustinian Academy for Boys:
