Participate in SHA's Sandstone Dinner Auction

We can't wait for you to join the fun of our largest single-day fundraiser!
When the Sisters of St. Francis bravely embarked on building our current campus at 3860 Main Street, they received the generous donation of sandstone rock to lay a strong foundation for our iconic building. Similarly, your generous support of the Sandstone Dinner Auction forms the foundation for an unparalleled SHA experience, rooted in the Franciscan tradition and boldly empowering young women to pursue their dreams.

International Opportunities

Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart offers international trips to students every summer. This opportunity to explore new cultures and communities enriches students beyond the classroom and helps develop a global perspective.

These optional trips, chaperoned by faculty and staff, are presented two years prior to departure which gives students and families time to plan finances. Past trips have been to the British Isles, Italy, Costa Rica, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. The 2019 trip to Central Europe included Budapest, Prague, Vienna, Munich, and Heidelberg.
 
In keeping with our Franciscan mission of serving others, Sacred Heart also sponsors service trips where students are immersed in cultures working alongside locals on projects ranging from Christian ministry and education to ecological community projects. Current trips travel to the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Bahamas, and Zambia.

Sacred Heart also participates in the Dortmund Student Exchange Program and each year hosts students from Dortmund, Germany. Students live with SHA families and participate in school life for the fall semester.
