Our Parish is part of the Archdiocese of Melbourne, located in Sandringham, a Bayside suburb of Melbourne.

We warmly welcome newcomers and visitors to our Parish.  The church has wheelchair access.

We are twinned with the Parish of Remexio in East Timor and we provide regular financial support to the people of that district.

The history of Sacred Heart extends back more than 100 years to the pioneering days of the original Gypsy Village. The first church building was blessed in 1906 and was initially a part of St James Parish Elsternwick. In 1914 Sacred Heart became a Parish in its own right. The present church was opened in 1974 and underwent a major renovation in 2010, which included the installation of its beautiful new glass doors and windows. There is more information on the history of the Parish and its art and architecture via the website menu on the right side of this screen.

The first permanent school was built in 1912 and it was about this time that the Presentation Sisters first came into the parish.  The new school, built in 1970, now has 230 students and is located alongside the Church at 11 Fernhill Road North, Sandringham.

The School can be contacted on phone (03) 9598 9322 or via the School website www.shsandringham.catholic.edu.au

We respectfully acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal peoples and especially the Boonerwrung people of the Kulin Nation, who are the traditional owners and custodians of the  Sandringham area.
