The Servant of God, Mother M.Teresa Nuzzo, founded the Congregation “Daughters of the Sacred Heart’’ in 1903. Together with other young ladies she taught catechism in schools and in some parishes.It was one of the main aims of the Foundress to impart education to children based on love and truth. Today the Sisters have a Kindergarten School in Ħamrun and a Primary School at Marsa. They have a children’s Home at Żurrieq and a Day Centre for children in Żejtun and Mellieħa. They also take active part in teaching catechism, academic and technical subjects to the children.
