Priests of the Sacred Heart
It was founded as the Priests of the Sacred Heart in March 1884, known informally as the Dehonians after him, and its focus was parish and foreign mission work. Bishop of Soissons Thibaudier had intervened to restore the order, since he supported Dehon's work. In 1886 Dehon was elected as the order's Superior-General and held the position until his death.
