| Blessed John Berchmans appeard
to a novice of the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1866 and through his
intercession, a local woman, Mary Wilson was miraculously cured of a
disease. The infirmary where the miracle occured was converted into a
chapel and is the only place in the United States where the exact spot
of a miraculous occurrence has been preserved as a shrine.
The Academy of the Sacred Heart, located on the grounds and founded in 1821, is the oldest continously operated of the more than 200 Sacred Heart schools in the world.
