Templo del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús

Templo del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, Romanesque temple in Chihuahua, Mexico

The Templo del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús is a neo-Romanesque Catholic temple in Chihuahua, built from 1921 onward to designs by engineers José R. Argüelles and F. Tribouyet, with stonework by master mason Romualdo González. Its construction stalled during the 1926–1929 religious conflict, and part of the building served as a provisional chapel from 31 August 1931 while work continued for about thirty more years.

The temple grew out of a chapel begun in 1909 by the Jesuit Pedro Delgado for the residents of Colonia Pacífico, on land donated by governor Enrique C. Creel. When the chapel proved too small, a new plot at 20 de Noviembre and Ocampo was bought in 1919, and bishop Antonio Guízar Valencia blessed the first stone on 31 August 1921. Work stopped during the 1926–1929 religious conflict and resumed slowly for three decades.

The temple grew out of a chapel begun in 1909 for the residents of Colonia Pacífico, southwest of the city centre. Governor Enrique C. Creel donated the land at the corner of today's Avenida 20 de Noviembre and Calle 26a, and Bishop Nicolás Pérez Gavilán blessed the first stone on 25 April 1909. When that chapel proved too small, the Jesuit superior José María Maya convened the neighbours in 1919 to build a larger temple.

The temple is generally open to visitors during daytime hours but may close during active services or religious celebrations. It helps to wear respectful clothing and check on current visiting conditions before arriving.

The 1921 first stone was laid by Bishop Antonio Guízar Valencia, who also celebrated the first Mass there. Work stopped in 1926 during the religious conflict and resumed in 1929; from 31 August 1931 part of the unfinished building served as a provisional chapel. The stonework was entrusted to master mason Romualdo González.
