Sacred Heart adapts

Since its inception almost one hundred years ago, the parishioners and staff at Sacred Heart have been working to respond to the needs of those called to worship at this small parish in the western suburbs of Boston. The changing needs of the parish have been reflected in the investments made in developing an appropriate setting for worship.

“the Dean of Boston Architecture”

"As to style in architecture, I believe that the free mediaeval styles offer the best field for further development of architecture in any country, our own included. There is formalism in the Renaissance and all since attempted in its manner, which is crippling, and restricting. Structure, dressed in transparent rather than opaque robes, is what should be followed in building."
