Sacred Heart parish finishes its church after years of financial difficulty
The Roman Catholic parish of the Sacred Heart on Staten Island was founded in 1875 and belongs to the Archdiocese of New York. Money was scarce, so the church was renovated and extended in stages as the congregation grew, and the work was finished in 1900. The parish elementary school and the Schoenstatt "Shrine of Light" stand across Castleton Avenue from the church.
“The parish was established in 1875. After much financial difficulty, the church building was gradually renovated and extended ... and finished in 1900.”
