Celebrating the Feast of our Foundress

Across the over 200 Sacred Heart Schools worldwide, the 25th of May is celebrated as the Feast Day of our Foundress, Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat.

At Stuartholme, the Feast Day is marked by a eucharistic celebration and Mass in our Chapel. Mass is shared by our community on the closest Sunday to 25 May, which this year was 22 May. It was wonderful to welcome alumnae, friends, and current and past staff along with their families to the Mass and morning tea.
