Originally dedicated to St. Henry, the name of the parish was changed to Sacred Heart in 1887. In 1983, the parish of Sacred Heart was suppressed and the church given to the parish of Our Lady of Fatima. The parish serves a predominantly Portuguese-American congregation.

My mom was a graduate of SH in 1945. What happened to church records?
It would be nice to access them as she was the youngest of 11.
What happened to the Cemetery affiiated with the Sacred Heart Church? My grand-Aunt “Eleanor (Fitzgibbon) Pierce” was apparently buried there in 1911.
