Please join us for our 175th Anniversary Mass on Thursday, May 21, at 3:00 p.m. at Ss. Peter and Paul Jesuit Church (629 E Jefferson Ave, Detroit, MI 48226). We’ll gather in gratitude for the generations who have carried this mission forward, and we’ll pray for the future of Sacred Heart education, just steps from where our story began in 1851. There will be a Noon dismissal for ALL Sacred Heart students this day.
As we continue celebrating 175 years of Academy of the Sacred Heart, our community came together in a powerful Day of Service rooted in faith, compassion, and action. In partnership with Kids Coalition Against Hunger, we packed enough food for 10,000 meals, supporting those affected by flooding right here in Michigan.
Sacred Heart education calls us to serve. All are encouraged to join us for our Day of Service on Saturday, April 18, from 10:00 a.m. to Noon in the Field House. In partnership with Kids Coalition Against Hunger (a global nonprofit dedicated to providing nutritious meals to those in need) we will pack meals together. Please register here.
