Sacred Heart Catholic Church

The first Masses celebrated in Warner Robins were held at the USO Hall on an altar made from stacked Coke crates and boards. On September 23, 1945, in the building we now know as the "Parish Hall," the first Mass of Sacred Heart Parish in Warner Robins was celebrated in our church by our founding Pastor, Rev. Harold Gaudin, S.J. In addition to serving as the church, this building also housed the church offices, the social hall, and the pastor's residence. The original church could seat around 200 people.

In September 1955, Sacred Heart School started and in 1956 the Presentation Sisters arrived from Ireland to take charge of the school. On February 8, 1962, the second Sanctuary was dedicated to handle our growing number of parishioners. It seated 500 people.

The religious theme that kept guiding the committee in its choices was "We are a pilgrim people on a journey to God through His Son and His Sacraments." It is our hope and belief that the beauty and dignity of the design, the splendor of the glass, the art and the furnishings will inspire, guide, heal, encourage, reconcile and reflect this community for the honor and glory of God.
