Yes, Sacred Heart Major Sem­i­nary uses SSL (Secure Sock­ets Lay­er) to com­mu­ni­cate with your brows­er soft­ware when you reg­is­ter with us online. SSL is the indus­try stan­dard secu­ri­ty pro­to­col, which makes it extreme­ly dif­fi­cult for any­one else to inter­cept the per­son­al infor­ma­tion you send us in con­junc­tion with your reg­is­tra­tion. Sacred Heart Major Sem­i­nary has part­nered with Black­baud, a lead­ing pay­ment pro­cess­ing com­pa­ny in high­er edu­ca­tion, to pro­vide secure cred­it card pay­ment pro­cess­ing. Sacred Heart requires full com­pli­ance with PCI DSS (Pay­ment Card Indus­try, Data Secu­ri­ty Stan­dards) of any ven­dor or ser­vice provider engaged by the sem­i­nary trans­act­ing, pro­cess­ing or oth­er­wise han­dling card­hold­er data. Black­baud is inde­pen­dent­ly cer­ti­fied at the high­est lev­el of secu­ri­ty (Lev­el 1 PCI DSS).

Sacred Heart Major Sem­i­nary is a tax-exempt edu­ca­tion­al insti­tu­tion under sec­tion 501 of the Inter­nal Rev­enue Code. As such, your gift is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
