Association Mondiale des Anciennes du Sacré Coeur

The Association is a member of AMASC (Association Mondiale des Anciennes du Sacré Coeur). AMASC was formed in 1960 in Brussels at the request of the then Reverend Mother General, Reverend Mother de Valon, who saw an important and vital role the alumnae could play in fostering the work and spirit of the Society of the Sacred Heart (the Catholic Order of Nuns founded by St Madeleine Sophie Barat in the early 1800's).

Every four years the alumnae of the world meet for a Congress.

The XII World Congress was held in Sydney, Australia, 14–19 April 2002. The theme of the Congress was Reconciliation: Matters of the Heart & Reconciling ourselves with our world.
