Notes

The Sacred Heart Church in the Bronx
The Sacred Heart Church was originally built in 1872. It was a Roman Catholic parish in Newark, NJ. In its heyday, more than 1,500 people would attend a single Mass. But as the parish went through a difficult period, the number of attendees dropped dramatically. Now, the church is still in use, but it is only open for Sunday services. The remodeled church measures 120 by 75 feet and is filled with many items donated by the faithful.

The Sacred Heart Church was built in 1910 and is one of the oldest churches in the Bronx. The architect, Elliott Lynch, designed several other Catholic churches and parish schools in the area. It is connected to the Sacred-Heart School. In 1888, the Y.M.C.A. purchased a plot of land near the Bowery to build a new building. The YMCA purchased a commercial structure on the site for a new campus. The site was then sold to Murray Hill Improvements. In August, the Big Development on Fire Island was announced. On the same day, Assemblyman Joseph Cryan, who had served as an altar boy at the sanctuary, attended a school located on the grounds of the parish.

The Sacred Heart Church has an interesting history. The parish was originally a part of St. Augustine Parish. The territory was served by the Archdiocese of New York. Father Mullen secured a hall at 165th Street and Lind Avenue. On June 20, 1875, Father Mullen celebrated the first Mass in the hall. A few months later, he acquired a wooden frame chapel from St. Rose of Lima Parish, Lower Manhattan. It was disassembled and brought to the high bridge area in sections.

The Sacred Heart Church 's renovation plan involves preserving the building and using the sanctuary as a multi-use event space. The project is estimated to create 20 jobs, but the real goal is to preserve the structure. The existing priory and school would be converted into 16 residential units, with the remaining parishioners attending Saint Joseph's Church in East Orange. The current parking lot at Sacred-Heart would be used as an outdoor park.

The Sacred Heart Church is located at 1253 Shakespeare Avenue, Bronx. The Sacred-Heart Church's sanctuary is currently being used for events and would provide around 20 jobs. The existing priory and active school at a similar location would also be renovated to accommodate more people. There are plans to convert the current gymnasium parking lot into a residential building with 96 units. This is a good plan for the community.

The Sacred-Heart Church has a special Advent wreath, comprised of candles and evergreen. It is the only Catholic church in the world to have a wreath for the four weeks of Advent. The altar is decorated with flowers and a Christmas tree. The Christmas decorations will include a wreath made of evergreen, lights, and candles. A large part of the design will be made of evergreen branches. The entire centerpiece will be adorned with a cross.

The Sacred-Heart Church is now a private church. The parish closed last year because of low attendance and costs. The archdiocese of Newark has decided to save the history of the church by relocating its sacred vessels, altar pieces, and stained glass windows. Its members are still praying at the old church, but the new location will be the home for a new parish. The Sacred-Heart-Church is a beautiful place of worship and has an inspiring history.
