The parish is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a devotion honoring the boundless love of Jesus Christ for humanity, symbolized by his physical heart as a representation of divine and human love united.
Located in central Michigan near Central Michigan University, the parish serves a mixed community that includes longtime area residents, students, and university-affiliated families.
