About Holy Name Of The Sacred Heart Of Jesus
Holy Name of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a Catholic parish in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and part of the Whaling City Catholic Community Collaborative. The parish was formed in 1999 through the merger of two local parishes with deep roots in the city: Sacred Heart Parish, founded in 1876, and Holy Name Parish, established in 1909. Sacred Heart’s original wooden Gothic church was dedicated in 1877, while the present church, dedicated on April 19, 1941, now serves the merged parish. Worship is traditional and rooted in the Catholic life of the community.
