Sacred Heart Church opened December 25, 1913. The immigrants who poured into Sacred Heart Parish found it a spiritual home as they got settled in this new country. Several of the ethnic groups wanted to set up parishes which would reflect their origins, and Sacred Heart provided a base for them as they gathered resources to build their own churches.
Over the years, the Italian parish, the Spanish parish, the Portuguese parish, and the Croatian parish, got their start at Sacred Heart.
The parish became Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples on October 27, 1991, when Archbishop Joseph MacNeil declared it Edmonton’s First Nations, Métis and Inuit parish.
Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples continues the tradition of welcoming others and making them feel at home. People of all backgrounds are welcome to join in worship at the First Nations, Métis and Inuit Mass on Sunday mornings. The parish identity as a “nursery” of new ethnic parishes is also still strong.
