We keep in our prayers all the beloved alumnae, friends, and families from our Sacred Heart community who have passed away, keeping their spirits close to us.
The names of our alumnae and friends on this page are those we have received over the past year.
We pray for all who have entered Eternal Life and their families…
To allow for the inclusion of all loved ones, names are respectfully taken off the site after a year, while they continue to be held in our prayers. Thank you for your compassion and understanding.
