About this church

Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Grand Rapids celebrates Sunday Mass at 7:45 and 9:30 a.m. in English and at 11:30 a.m. in Latin. A 5:00 p.m. Saturday vigil provides another weekend option, while weekday Mass is offered at 8:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and at 7:45 a.m. Saturday. Confession is normally available Friday afternoons and Saturday from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m., with additional Sunday availability when a priest is present.

The parish describes itself as a traditional Catholic community centered on reverent celebration of the sacraments. Its west-side Grand Rapids story reaches back to the late 1800s, and parish life now includes a classical Catholic academy for preschool through twelfth grade. Youth ministry serves grades five through twelve through groups, retreats, and social opportunities designed to deepen faith and relationships. Visitors will also find ushers who assist before, during, and after Mass, plus opportunities in sacred music, altar service, homebound care, and neighborhood outreach. The parish office is on Valley Avenue; the church entrance is nearby on Garfield Avenue.
