Sacred
Heart - Waseca |

Sacred Heart Parish is a community of men, women, youth and children who
believe in Jesus Christ. We strive to live the gospel values of love,
justice and peace through prayer and worship, education as expressed in
Catholic teachings, thereby serving the needs of each other and others,
and proclaiming the Good News of Jesus by our lives. Through these
ministries we make Jesus present in our world. In all of these we seek
the guidance of the Holy Spirit. |

History
Sacred Heart Parish was founded in 1869 by
four men, Thomas White, Jerome Madden, John Collins, and Gottlieb Buchler in Waseca, MN and is a member of the
Diocese of Winona which was established in 1889. The first church was
erected on the site of Sacred Heart in 1874 and faced south. The current
church was built in 1899. The parish dining room and cafeteria was added
in 1956. A fire damaged the choir loft and pews and a portion of the wood
floor in 1965 leading to a remodel in 1966. The handicap accessible
entrance and greeting space were added to the north side of the church in 1992.
The last update to the sanctuary and modernization of the church took place in
1998. There have been 11 pastors in the history of Sacred Heart Parish
with Monsignor Treanor leading the faith community for 52 years. Father
Martin Schaefer is the current Pastor.
