Flintridge Sacred Heart Celebrates 90 Years

Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy is celebrating 90 years of inspiring young women for a life of faith, integrity and truth.
Nine decades ago, on Aug. 15, 1931, the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose purchased a hotel at the top of a hill that would become Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy. On the way up, the car broke down and the three Dominican Sisters, dressed in traditional religious attire, walked to their destination bringing a $5 bill, a statue of the Blessed Mother, and their faith. Two weeks later, they opened their doors to 200 elementary and high school-aged girls.
Today, Flintridge Sacred Heart serves more than 350 young women, encouraging each student to pursue truth in her studies — and in her life — to become a courageously curious thinker and the best version of herself.
On Sunday, Aug. 15, the Flintridge Sacred Heart Campus Ministry team hosted a Mass to kick-off the 90th anniversary year. The service was celebrated by Father Tony Marti, president of St. Francis High School, with assistance from Deacon Doug Cremer of St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish in Altadena.
Abby Davitt, Flintridge Sacred Heart campus minister, was pleased to bring the students, alumnae and community together for this event.
“This liturgy provided us with the opportunity to be in community with our Flintridge Sacred Heart family and honor our Dominican identity,” she said. “We were able to celebrate all the beauty, love and memories that this place has offered for 90 years and will continue to offer to generations to come.”
All were welcomed to attend the Mass and a casual, outdoor reception followed the service.
Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, a Catholic, Dominican, independent, college-preparatory, day and boarding school, educates young women for a life of faith, integrity, and truth.
