Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, Catholic cathedral in Pensacola, Florida, United States

The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart is a modern church building that serves as the mother church of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee in the East Hill neighborhood. The structure features contemporary architectural design and provides space for religious services and community gatherings.

Bishop Edward Allen of Mobile assigned Father Fullerton in 1905 to build Sacred Heart Church; a 1906 hurricane destroyed its roof before the Gothic Revival church was dedicated in April 1907, when the parish counted twenty-five families. The present brick church, a Modern interpretation of the Romanesque basilica style, was dedicated on May 18, 1967, by Archbishop Thomas Toolen. In 1975 Pope Paul VI established the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee and named Sacred Heart its cathedral, shared with St. Thomas More in Tallahassee.

The cathedral is named for the Sacred Heart of Jesus and shares its role as diocesan seat with the Co-Cathedral of Saint Thomas More in Tallahassee. The parish school, founded in 1907 as Sacred Heart Academy, was run by the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration and later by Benedictine and Dominican sisters until 1970.

Visitors can enter during open hours and attend regular masses held at various times throughout the week. Special devotional times and confession opportunities are available on specific weekdays.

The present church, dedicated in 1967, is a brick building in a Modern interpretation of the Romanesque basilica style. Its predecessor, the 1907 Gothic Revival church, was sold to the city for $100 in 1956 and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
