Sacred Heart Parish
Niagara Falls, ON
Our Story
The Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church was built over the course of 1923 and 1924. Before the construction of this house of worship, local Carmelite fathers gave mass in various places within the Village of Chippawa. Today, our church stands as a symbol of faith and community in the Niagara Falls area. Whether you're a longtime member or a first-time visitor, we invite you to become part of our vibrant faith community.
St. Joseph’s Church was established in 1849 in what was then known as the Township of Willoughby.
