Sacred Heart Academy
Immediately to the west of the Cathedral, across the closed Garnet Street, is the former Sacred Heart Academy building, once a girls' high school operated by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions, who also conducted music tuition for music students from across the city. The Sisters, whose numbers were waning, closed the school in or about 1969.
The building has now been converted to strata title and sold off as tony townhouses, but the Roman Catholic Archdiocese has retained premises in the building for its synod office.

Famous quotes containing the words sacred, heart and/or academy:
“Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it “the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.” The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of “Artist.””
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“The heart never grows better by age; I fear rather worse; always harder. A young liar will be an old one, and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
