About Us

Through the financial support of donors throughout the United States, Sacred Heart Southern Missions staffs and funds the programs and work of two Catholic elementary schools providing a proven path out of poverty for more than 550 children, eight Catholic social service offices serving over 3000 families each month, including the only ministry in the area to HIV/AIDS patients and their families. We staff a housing program including Dehon Village with 38 single family homes for low-income families whose rent is subsidized by Sacred Heart Southern Missions. Our Social Services department includes an active volunteer program . Our priests serve six widely scattered parishes in an area that is only two per cent Catholic.
