The Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (also known as the Dehonians, or by the initials S.C.I. or S.C.J.) constitute a Roman Catholic religious congregation of priests. The order was founded in northern France in Saint-Quentin, Aisne, Picardy by Léon Dehon in 1878.[1]

The congregation runs the Sacred Heart School of Theology in Hales Corners, Wisconsin, USA and St Joseph's Church in Stockport, England.[2] In addition, its personnel run St. Joseph's Indian School in Chamberlain, South Dakota; the facility was founded as a mission school in 1927.
