HISTORY
The Sacred Heart School building, dedicated in 1933, was constructed and funded through the generosity of Nativity B.V.M. parishioners of yesteryears.
The current facility, completed in 2005, is the product of a major renovation project to convert the beloved old school building to a much-needed gathering place for parish and diocesan ministries and activities. The altered interior provides a larger auditorium and kitchen for dinners and receptions, a new Youth Ministry Center, space for religious education classes, R.C.I.A., and CCD, along with meeting rooms for the Pastoral Council and Ministry Teams.
The building has new electrical and air conditioning systems throughout. The exterior and site improvements provide a porte-cochere, expanded parking, landscaping, and a new metal standing seam roof. The results are a functional, beautiful, and handicapped-friendly facility, referred to herein as Nativity Sacred Heart Center (NSHC). The NSHC is conveniently located behind the Cathedral in downtown Biloxi on 870 Nativity Drive.
The new Center was an action of love undertaken to preserve the old of yesterday and provide the new for today and tomorrow. The renovation project was paid for with the generous contributions of Nativity B.V.M. Parishioners and Sacred Heart School Alumni and Friends.
The Sacred Heart Center is available to be rented for your special event! For more infomation, please visit our Weddings page or call Paul Arguelles, the Sacred Heart Center coordinator, at 228-341-0464.
