Sacred Heart Monastery, Catholic seminary and monastery in Kensington, Australia
The stone structure features Gothic architecture with an attic storey and central tower, complemented by a Romanesque-Byzantine brick chapel connected through cloisters.
The Missionaries of the Sacred Heart established this monastery in 1897 as their Sydney base for missionary work in New Guinea with Cardinal Moran's support.
The monastery published Annals Australasia magazine since 1889, contributing to Catholic literature through articles edited by Father Paul Stenhouse.
Located at 1 Roma Avenue in Kensington, the monastery maintains facilities for religious education and serves as a center for Catholic clergy training.
Between 1968 and 1998, St Paul's National Seminary within the monastery prepared 281 late-vocation priests for ordination.
