Alumnae Au Courant June 2016 Senior Passport Ceremony
On Thursday, May 19, the Class of 2016 celebrated becoming alumnae by participating in their Senior Passport Ceremony. Vicky Allen, H '13, school archivist, wrote a description prior to the ceremony in her weekly "Did You Know" newsletter. She writes, "Having the “Sacred Heart Passport” means that the possibility of travel and visits to other places in the world where Sacred Heart alumnae are located doesn’t stop at graduation. Even if you are not planning on visiting a Sacred Heart school, sometimes it’s handy to have a contact in a country you are visiting. The passport is administered by the International Hospitality Network of AMASC (Association Mondiale des Anciennes du Sacré Coeur) and links Sacred Heart alumnae/i throughout the world."

Caggiano, Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport. In her welcome address, Head of School Pamela Juan Hayes ’64 told parents of her hopes for the Class of 2016. “My hope for them is that they will continue to find, within themselves, that strength, sense of integrity, spirit and pride to make things happen, to conceive of their direction, and to follow it.” To read more click here or for pictures click here.
