Why a Center in Georgia?
The ‘history’ of the Peace Center directs us to acknowledge that first and foremost, this is where Our Lord has called us, in honor of His Most Sacred Heart. The dramatic increase in the Catholic population in the Southeast has Georgia parishes bursting at the seams. New parishes are springing up, Catholic elementary, secondary, and college level schools are being built. Our community is thirsting for spiritual rejuvenation, and the time is ripe for His request for the Sacred Heart Center for Peace to come to fulfillment. The Sacred Heart Center for Peace will be recognized as a tremendous channel of graces and haven of peace, so urgently needed during tumultuous time in the history of our faith. All the teachings and views of the Center will in be in strict accordance with the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
