Sacred Heart Church, Catholic church in Sharon, Pennsylvania, United States
Sacred Heart Church is a Catholic house of worship located at 40 South Irvine Avenue in Sharon. The structure features red brick construction with a prominent bell tower and traditional architectural details typical of late 19th century religious buildings.
The church was founded in 1864 when its first resident pastor opened the doors on land donated by a local benefactor. The distinctive bell tower was completed in 1867 as part of the original construction plan.
The church served as a spiritual and social hub for the Irish Catholic community that settled in the area. It played a meaningful role in the lives of many local families throughout the decades.
The building has been closed since 2017 and is no longer in active use as a church. Visitors should be aware that it is an inactive structure and can only be viewed from the street.
A parish school once operated in the basement of the building until a separate school structure was constructed in 1889. This educational program provided instruction to children of the congregation for several decades.
