The foundation stone was laid on 25 March 1874 in the presence of Félix María Arrieta y Llano, Bishop of Cádiz, and John Baptist Scandella, Vicar Apostolic of Gibraltar. The church was not formally blessed until 15 July 1888. Charles Caruana, later Roman Catholic Bishop of Gibraltar from 1998 to 2010, served among its parish priests.

The church is named for the Sacred Heart, a Catholic devotion. Charles Caruana, a former parish priest here, later served as Roman Catholic Bishop of Gibraltar from 1998 to 2010. In the patio stands a grotto dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes, a devotional spot separate from the main interior.

The church stands on Castle Road in central Gibraltar, a short walk from the main shopping streets. It is an active parish, so visits are best timed outside Mass. The Lourdes grotto in the patio can be seen from the church grounds without entering the nave.

The patio of Sacred Heart Church holds a grotto dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes, a shrine modelled on the Massabielle cave where Bernadette Soubirous reported her visions in 1858. It stands apart from the main interior, so visitors can reach it without entering the church itself.
