Sacred Heart Church

About this church

Sacred Heart Church in Savannah celebrates a Saturday Vigil Mass at 4:30 p.m. and Sunday Masses at 8:30 a.m. in Spanish, 11:00 a.m., and 6:00 p.m. Daily Mass is held Monday through Thursday at 8:30 a.m. Confession is available before the Saturday Vigil and early Sunday Mass, while Eucharistic Adoration is offered most Fridays at 6:00 p.m.; the parish asks visitors to check the calendar for exceptions. Sunday Mass can also be watched through the church’s YouTube livestream.

The parish was organized by Benedictines, with its first cornerstone laid in 1880 and the present Bull Street church dedicated in 1905. Its history includes a school for Black children supported by Mother Mathilda Beasley, recognized as Georgia’s first Black nun; a historical marker stands at the parish center. The community today describes itself as welcoming and committed to living Christ’s message through love and service. Religious education, initiation for prospective Catholics, college and youth ministry, liturgical service, music, and adult groups give newcomers multiple ways to participate. For visitors interested in both Catholic worship and Savannah history, the architecture, Benedictine roots, bilingual Sunday schedule, and preserved Chapel of Our Lady of Guadalupe make Sacred Heart especially distinctive.
