Sacred Heart Of Jesus Church

About this church

Sacred Heart of Jesus Church is a Roman Catholic parish at 215 Lackawanna Avenue in Dupont. The parish publishes a Saturday vigil Mass at 4:00 p.m., with confession beginning at 3:00, and Sunday Mass at 10:30 a.m. Weekday Mass at Sacred Heart is held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7:30 a.m. The site also lists services shared with Saint Mary's, so visitors should note the location abbreviation beside each time and consult the current bulletin for holy days or seasonal changes.

Founded in 1902 by Polish immigrants, Sacred Heart belongs to the Diocese of Scranton and carries a history closely connected with Dupont's anthracite-coal community. Early parishioners established a school, welcomed the Bernardine Sisters of St. Francis as teachers, and rebuilt after fire destroyed the original wooden church. That record gives context to a parish whose Catholic life today includes Mass intentions, sacramental preparation, religious education, and regular liturgical worship. Prospective visitors can choose an evening vigil, a later Sunday morning Mass, or an early weekday gathering. The official schedule's distinction between Sacred Heart and its partnered parish is important: the 4:00 Saturday, 10:30 Sunday, and Monday-Wednesday-Friday 7:30 services are the times specifically identified with the Dupont church.
