The Church of the Sacred Heart at 41 Adelphi Street in Brooklyn, New York was founded in 1871.
History
The church began in an old primary school building on Vanderbilt Avenue, which Rev. Thomas f. McGivern remodeled. He said the first mass on December 3, 1871. He then purchased property between Adelphi and Clermont Streets. Bishop of Brooklyn, John Loughlin laid the cornerstone on May 10, 1872. The church was dedicated in June 1877.[1]
The organ, installed in 1877, is one of the last large and intact Jardines extant in New York City; it was the organ repaired and restored in 2001.[2]
Sacred Heart Academy was founded by pastor John F. Nash and opened on September 7, 1888. The parish, which in 1871 had 600 parishioners, numbered 6,000 by 1914.[1]
