Grammy-Nominee Sarah Hart Performed Founders Day Concert

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Brentwood continued their Founders Day celebrations with a free concert featuring Grammy-nominee Sarah Hart on Sunday, Oct. 20.

The contemporary Catholic musician performed for a crowd of more than 200 in the Sacred Heart Chapel, sharing songs and stories that brought joy and inspiration to the audience.

Hart also had a chance to visit with the students at Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead and The Mary Louis Academy in Jamaica Estates, Queens.

“The girls loved her,” said S. Marie Mackey, CSJ, director of Young Adult Ministry and Vocational Discernment, who arranged the events. “During a Q&A at Sacred Heart Academy, one student asked, ‘Can you come back?’, and there was a rousing applause from the student body.”

Hart performed a follow-up show at the Immaculate Conception Parish in Jamaica Estates the evening of Thursday, Oct. 24.

“My time with the Sisters of St. Joseph, the parishes and schools, and especially Sister Marie, was nothing short of amazing!” Hart shared. “The joy I felt in all these places, with all these people, overwhelmed me. I’m so incredibly grateful and my heart is so full…I can’t wait to come back!”
