The Heritage Chapel is the original chapel of the Sisters located on the site of the first Motherhouse in the United States in Avilla, Indiana. 

 

It was relocated to St. Francis Woods in June 1979.  It echoes with the vision, inspiration and prayers of the founding members in each generation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rooted deeply in history, the original chapel of the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart stands on holy ground behind the present Motherhouse in Frankfort, Illinois.
