Discover our School
Our school respectfully acknowledges that we are located on the ancestral, traditional and unceded Indigenous territory of the Algonquin Peoples,
on whose territory we pray, learn, play and work.
The OCSB acknowledges the suffering experienced by Indigenous peoples in Canada's Residential Schools and is committed to Truth and Reconciliation. Read the OCSB Response to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action to learn more.

Spirituality
Our school has a chapel that is open daily for all students and staff. The Chapel, located off the atrium, is a refuge for all. Always open to welcome students, the Chapel is used for private prayer and class liturgical celebrations. The chapel in Sacred Heart High School is blessed with a stained glass window as well as beautiful artwork by Fr. Herman Falke. Set aside some time during your day to sit in quiet reflection.
Sacred Heart High School celebrates faith in a number of ways. Our days begin with prayer calling all to be mindful of God’s presence among us as we journey through each day. Our school community celebrates the Eucharist with grade level masses throughout the year at Holy Spirit Parish. Liturgies of the word, Ash Wednesday liturgies and other smaller liturgies take place in the school chapel or within classrooms. Religion classes visit the chapel with their teacher to take some time to reflect on faith, to discuss ideas and to pray together. All students and staff members are welcome to visit the chapel to spend some time in quiet.
