The Daughters of Divine Zeal (Figlie del Divino Zelo [FDZ] in Italian) is an international Catholic religious institute of women who offer service to the needs of the Church in various parts of the world. The Daughters of Divine Zeal have a special goal. It is to enter the Holy Side of Jesus, to live within this Divine Heart, to experience its love, to adopt its interests, to bear with all its pai

ns and to share in its sacrifice. The goal of the Daughters of Divine Zeal is to console this Divine Heart through their own sanctification, and to win people's souls for God especially by obeying that Divine Command that arose from the depths of Jesus' Heart when he said: "The harvest is great but the workers are few. Pray the Lord of the harvest to send good workers to his harvest." They will do all this with the spirit of Martha and Mary, that is, with a life characterised by prayer and activity. (Potenza, Italy, 1914 - Father Annibale, Founder of Daughters of Divine Zeal)

Inspired by Jesus' Divine Command, Saint Annibale Maria Di Francia (1851 - 1927) founded the Daughters of Divine Zeal in Messina, Sicily, Italy in 1887. Ten years later he founded the Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus (RCJ). Madre Maria Nazarena Majone (1869 - 1939), the co-Foundress of the Daughters of Divine Zeal was one of Saint Annibale Maria Di Francia's faithful followers and collaborator. Our community here in Richmond, Victoria, Australia was founded in 1959. It is part of the Our Lady of Divine Zeal Province along with many communities/missions throughout the South/South-East Asian region such as Indonesia, the Philippines and a mission station in Vietnam.
