Your Story - Your Legacy: Our Mission
Your Story - Your Legacy: Our Mission
The Sacred Heart Foundation was established in 2014 to maintain and grow the Endowments for the future financial success of Sacred Heart Catholic School.
Sacred Heart School was founded by the Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Benedict in Crookston, MN, and it honors this legacy with a constant emphasis on Benedictine values of Hospitality, Love of God and Neighbor, Community, Justice and Peace, Excellence through Virtue, Obedience, Discipline, Dignity of Work, Love of Learning, and Humility.
Our passion for the Mission of Sacred Heart School forms the basis of our relationships with all our donors: Alumni, family, friends, community members and all those called to support the students of Sacred Heart. Together with our foundation family, we are stewards of the generosity of so many who continue to build the legacy.
