SACRED HEART

Sacred Heart is a Roman Catholic church located near downtown Waterloo, IA. We reach out to and welcome people of all ages and cultures, offering our gifts of acceptance, care, and formation in the Catholic faith... In 1908, the Catholic families in west Waterloo felt they should have a church of their own. At that time, they were worshiping at St. Mary's and St. Joseph's on the east side of town. Their petition to build Sacred Heart Church was approved in January, 1909, by the Most Reverend James J. Keane, Archbishop of Dubuque... The property was obtained through sale of land willed by Barthoemew Kelly for a site for a west-side Catholic church. Funds were raised by subscription from forty-seven Catholic and sixty-seven non-Catholic individuals. The amount subscribed was a little over $15,000.00.
