Sacred Heart of Jesus Church is a Catholic church at 1404 South 3rd Street in Philadelphia, PA 19147. It is one of 1,755 churches in Philadelphia, and one of 37 Catholic congregations in the city.
The history of Sacred Heart Parish is meshed with the immigrants who poured through the gates of Ellis Island and the ports of Camden and Philadelphia during the late 1800's. These pioneer parishioners found their way to a poor waterfront community known as Southwark and demonstrated their values in faith and education by actually digging the cellar for Sacred Heart of Jesus Church and this has remained the cornerstone for over a century to the families in the area for spiritual growth.
