Sacred Heart parish operated a High School from 1918 through the mid 1970's. Though the high school has been closed for some years, the high school community remains part of both our history and our parish today.

In 1992, a few members of the SH Class of 1957, approached then-Pastor Jim Kenneally in order to use the parish mailing privileges to send out a newsletter to alumni from their graduating class.

Fr. Kenneally supported the idea but nudged the group to go a step beyond a single class effort. By his suggestion, the group opened their efforts to all Sacred Heart graduates and formed an Alumni Association. A nonprofit group was formed under the parish umbrella, with the purpose to promote Catholic education and friendship amongst graduates and former students of Sacred Heart School.

A first newsletter was issued in 1996. The publication included a warm invitation to all classes to join and share news of their post-graduation lives and class activities. Graduates started to meet yearly during Dearborn Homecoming Weekend, inviting new members to join. With tax deductible dues of $5.00 per year, members can choose to receive the yearly alumni publication, The Excalibur, by mail or email.

You can find the 2009 Excalibur, and all previous issues at http://www.ghsmi.com/shhs/gallery.html Click on The Excalibur bulletin link. A membership form is also available on the website that can be completed and mailed to the Parish office.

If you are interested sharing your class activities or other news or trying to get in touch with lost classmates, please send a note to Judy Joyce, ’57 @byrdhouse1@wideopenwest.com
