This Advent season, the Church intentionally prepares for the wonder of the Nativity, the God of the Universe becoming not just incarnate, but an infant born of a woman. Here at Sacred Heart Academy, our special teachers form our students to meet God on the mountaintops and in the manger, and inspire these young Catholics with the striking beauty and awe of our Faith. Support our teachers who foster moments like these everyday, moments that stick with students for a lifetime, by partnering with the SHA Annual Fund for Giving Tuesday!

It’s Giving Tuesday! Here at Sacred Heart, we used our Thanksgiving holiday as a special opportunity to remind ourselves of the praise and gratitude we owe always to our God— the thanksgiving that we partake in most perfectly in every Eucharistic celebration. In recollection of the gifts our Lord has given us, He is also calling us to give those gifts back to Him. On this Giving Tuesday, consider a gift to the Sacred Heart Academy Annual Fund. All the monies raised will go to support families through our scholarship program, and to the salaries of our beloved faculty. Partner with us today at shgr.org/annualfund ... See MoreSee Less
