Thinking about your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year?

If you are 70½ or older, you can give directly from your IRA to our foundation without paying income tax on the transfer. It’s a powerful way to satisfy your RMD while making a lasting impact on our community.

The Sacred Heart Foundation Family would like to express our prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Glen Gonsorowski.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 & 𝐍𝐨𝐰: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥

𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍:
We recently caught up with a 1958 graduate and longtime parent volunteer who helped as a teacher’s aide and lunchroom helper in the 70s and 80s. She spoke to us about her favorite memories.

What stuck out was how incredibly close the students were. She still remembers the genuine appreciation from the kids and, of course, the running hugs in the hallway that made volunteering worth it.

𝐍𝐎𝐖:
Fast forward to today, and that same beautiful spirit is alive and well! While our school has grown, the heart of our community hasn't changed a bit. Today, we see parents, grandparents, and neighbors volunteering in so many creative ways.

And guess what? The hugs and appreciation still happen every single day.

Some things never change and we are grateful for that!
