Halloween Candy Collection

Halloween Candy Collection for Sacred Heart Major Seminary.

It’s that time of year again! Halloween is approaching, and Sacred Heart Major Seminary is requesting our help.

Each year, the seminarians open their doors and their hearts to over 2000 children from the surrounding Detroit neighborhood. This annual tradition, which began in 1989, allows neighbors to meet the seminarians and provide the children with a safe and fun evening. On Halloween, the neighborhood families “trick-or-treat” from the building’s entrance through the vestibule area outside the seminary chapel.

This “Halloween Ministry” is a huge undertaking that would not be as successful without the help of the entire Sacred Heart community. If you can help keep this important tradition going, please place your wrapped candy donations in the designated bin in the Gathering Space by Sunday, October 26.

This is an opportunity for us to help our seminarians, and especially the children of Detroit, enjoy a safe and fun evening.
