About Us

Sacred Heart Parish Center, located on St. Joseph's Lake on the campus of the University of Notre Dame, is a building steeped in tradition. Built in 1919 as the college seminary for the Congregation of Holy Cross, this building housed generations of the Holy Cross priests who were influential in the lives of many families. The building reverted to a graduate residence in the late '70s and was then taken over in 1992 by Sacred Heart Parish. The hall, then known as "St. Joseph Hall," was renovated and became "Sacred Heart Parish Center." 

In addition to the Chapel of the Sacred Heart, the Parish Center offers a meeting/dining facility ("Community Hall") that can accommodate up to 130 people (see pictures). The Community Hall may be reserved for receptions, luncheons, dinners, group retreats, meetings, etc. We are not equipped to offer personal, guided retreats. 

We do not offer food service or catering services. Meals are left up to the individual overnight guests, or groups reserving the hall. 

The building has fifty-eight dorm-style bedrooms on three floors. These bedrooms have from two to four twin beds, a sink and mirror, and a desk with a lamp and chair in each room. We have six rooms that have their own bathroom/shower, plus one bedroom on the main floor with an ADA compliant bathroom/shower. 

 

 

There is air conditioning in the Community Hall, Chapel, throughout the main floor of the building, and in all but one of the rooms with private bathrooms. Bedrooms without private bathrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor are not air conditioned; there is a ceiling fan and a box fan in all of the guest bedrooms. 

 

 

Men's and women's bathrooms/showers are centrally located on every floor. We supply the towels (one set per ped), bed linens, blankets, pillows and soap for each room. Personal toiletries and/or grooming supplies are not provided or made available. 

 

Overnight reservations are available on a per bed/per night basis throughout the year.

 

Overnight guests must be affiliated with the University of Notre Dame, Holy Cross College, or Saint Mary's College in one of the following ways: alumni, currently-enrolled students, parents/legal guardians/immediate family members of currently-enrolled students, graduate students, visiting professors, university staff, research participants, fellowships, etc. 

 

The Parish Center is situated within easy walking distance to the spiritual riches of the University of Notre Dame's main campus, including the Grotto and Basilica of the Sacred Heart. We are located on Moreau Drive, next door to Moreau Seminary. Parking is available for reserved guests/groups in our parking lot.
