Sacred Heart Cathedral

Sacred Heart Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Amarillo, United States

Sacred Heart Cathedral was a red brick church with white trim at Ninth and Taylor Streets in Amarillo, built in the Romanesque Revival style for $18,000 and completed in 1917. It was demolished after its final Mass on January 19, 1975, and no longer stands.

Father David H. Dunn built the first Sacred Heart Church in 1903, funding its start with $400 of his own money. A larger red brick Romanesque Revival church was built at Ninth and Taylor Streets, opened for regular use in January 1917 and dedicated on April 13, 1918. When Pope Pius XI established the Diocese of Amarillo on August 3, 1926, the church became its cathedral, and Bishop Rudolph Gerken was installed there on April 27, 1927. The property was sold in 1974 and the final Mass was celebrated on January 19, 1975.

The building was demolished after the final Mass on January 19, 1975, so nothing of it remains on the Ninth and Taylor Streets site. Its windows and other furnishings were transferred to St. Mary's Cathedral, which became the diocese's third cathedral in 2011. The parish itself had shrunk to 25 families by the 1970s.

The cathedral stood at the corner of Ninth and Taylor Streets, a site bought in 1909 for $5,000. It was demolished after the final Mass on January 19, 1975, so nothing of the building remains to visit; its windows and furnishings were transferred to St. Mary's Cathedral in Amarillo.

Several original windows and architectural elements from the building were later integrated into St. Mary's Cathedral in Amarillo, where they continue to serve their religious purpose. This created a physical link between the city's old and new cathedrals.
