8:30 a.m. Tuesday mornings during the academic school year. Come for a weekly calming prayer and a silent reflection led by Sister Dolan. It typically is 15 to 20 minutes. Leave your long to-do list behind, and find some serenity and peace. With all the buzz around us every day, quiet moments might be exactly what you need. This time of prayer is offered to people of all faiths! Questions? Contact Sr. Kathy Dolan.
Dads' First Fridays (DFF) is a community of Sacred Heart dads (current and past SHS parents) who gather on the first Friday of the month (and at other times) to cultivate friendship and to share about family, professional life, and faith. A typical Friday format is to spend a few minutes informally catching up with one another, then quietly reflecting on a passage from Scripture. We wrap up by discussing the implications of that passage on our personal, family, and work lives.
DFF has been variously described as, "Unlike the other 99% of my week," "Challenging, in the best sense," "A great opportunity to get to know dads from across the SHS community," and "A gathering that helps me become a better family man." Come check it out, and bring a friend.
Held in conjunction with the Très Bien Tea luncheon, Alumni Oktoberfest, and milestone class reunion celebrations on Alumni Day, the Alumni Mass is held each year in the Main Building Chapel. All alumni, family and friends are welcome to attend and take part in the liturgy. Click here for more details on Alumni Day Mass and activities.
Celebrate our shared Catholic faith on Sacred Heart grounds, as we come together in faith and SHS fellowship. Family Masses are held on the Sacred Heart campus up to three times an academic year.
A longstanding tradition at Sacred Heart, and newly re-instituted in 2015, the Christmas Family Mass is held on the Saturday preceding the holiday, with alumni volunteers actively taking part in the liturgy as lectors, eucharistic ministers, musicians, and other roles. Coordinated by the Parents' Association Spirituality Committee, the service is followed by holiday-themed hospitality.
