About Sacred Heart Catholic Church
Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Port Arthur, Texas has served the local community since 1922, when Father Alexis LaPlant established spiritual care for African-American Catholics who had migrated to the area during the oil industry boom. Founded with support from Mother Katharine Drexel, the parish has grown from its small wooden church beginnings to become an active center of Catholic worship and fellowship. The church continues the rich legacy of the Josephite priests and their mission work, welcoming all who seek genuine community and spiritual growth in the heart of Port Arthur.
