The Sacred Heart Church Journal and School Calendar of September 1899 lists the names of 78 new pupils, who would be welcomed by Sisters Catherine Sienna, Mary Seton and Avila of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Ohio. Both the church and school were growing until the 1920s, when the neighborhood lost residents to the new suburbs of City Park and Park Hill,and eventually, the school would close its doors in 1979.
Growth has returned to the neighborhood around the parish and religious education continues at Sacred Heart parish with over 200 children receiving instruction in 10 newly-painted and upgraded classrooms. Religious studies are also available to those wishing to learn about the Catholic faith, couples wanting to be married in the Church and those who wish to have their children baptized.
