Eighty-four MSC deacons and seminary students will receive financial assistance. Through the generosity of supporters since 1968 this is the highest annual award the Sacred Heart Foundation has given in scholarships.
The mission of the Sacred Heart Foundation is to raise funds to provide financial assistance for the training, education and maintenance of future priests and brothers of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.
