This South American country is called "the end of the world" because it lies on the west coast of the continent and is separated from the rest of the continent by the Andes Mountains. Chile is known for its numerous seismic phenomena and the driest (Atacama Desert), as well as the rainiest place on our globe (Valdivia). The country's territory is stretched over four thousand kilometers.

The presence of The Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Chile is linked to the arrival of the Dutch Dehonians in 1948. The apostolate that our priests undertook centered around parish and educational work. More Dutch and Luxembourgers came to Chile in the following years, which offered great potential for the development of missionary activities. The help that the Dehonians brought was tremendous especially during the difficult period of social, economic and cultural change. In the following years, formation houses and parishes were established, which offered not only spiritual assistance, but also the more external - material. In 1991, Chile became a Province, an independent administrative unit of The Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The following years, unfortunately, did not bring much growth in native vocations. Instead, the age of missionaries was rising, and over time they returned to the Netherlands. In 2014, thanks to new missionaries, it was possible to maintain apostolic works for a while. At that time, Father Zdzislaw Huber, who had worked at the Rectoral Church of St. Francis of Assisi in Valdivia for five years, went on mission. In August 2024, another missionary from Poland, Father Luke Grzejda, went to Chile to live in the Dehonian community in the capital of the country.

From 2020 to 2025, the Chile Region led the apostolate in 3 parishes (Nuestra Seniora del Rosario de Fátima, Santo Cura de Ars, San José Patrono de la Iglesia) and 2 schools (Colegio San Juan Evangelista, Instituto del Sagrado Corazón) in the Santiago de Chile and San Bernardo areas. In 2025, a new administrative unit of The Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was created, uniting four countries: Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.
