The Daughters of Divine Zeal celebrated 50 years of service in Australia on 28 February 2009.

Our Golden Jubilee is a year of reflection and thanks to God for giving us the graces to carry out His mission in this immense southern land. We invite you to be with us in presence and/or prayer in this year-long celebration as we recall the FDZ Sisters of the past and present in their journeys of bearing Rogate and caring for the Lord's harvest.

We also especially remember the many friends we have made along the way, and the people who have touched our lives—from our work in the early years with the very young, to today with our hostel for university students who are far from home, and our pastoral work amongst immigrants from many lands.

We carry forward the spirit of our founder, Saint Annibale Maria Di Francia, and pray that we will be rewarded with vocations to help continue our ministry both here in Australia and throughout the world.

Please remember us in your prayers and we pray that with God's Help we will all grow in faith and strength. Send, O Lord, Holy Apostles into Your Church!
