Sacred Heart Church of Ocean Beach

nice parish, nice homilies,

Friendly and open to All!

It is a nice quiet, low key, casual church with no real expectations.

Very nice, family-​friendly Catholic Church that has been the heart of worship for generations of devout parishioners in the Ocean Beach area.
The Church sits on what is piously called Ministry Mile-​a site along Sunset Cliffs Blvd. where several different denominations of churches have their homes.
I grew up attending Sacred Heart. I received all the Catholic sacraments here except my baptism and have a deep and abiding love for this Church, if not from childhood memories alone. Both my parents had their memorial services here and I attended a memorial service this morning for a beloved Ocean Beach lady who recently passed away.
Sacred Heart is not a particularly big church and is simple as compared to some of the more ornate Catholic sanctuaries in the area. But it’s stained glass windows and high wood-​beamed ceilings still bring majesty to their services. The Catechism classes I attended as a child at Sacred Heart Academy down the street were very instrumental in developing my religious walk. Sacred Heart Academy was the school in the Ocean Beach area where people with money could send their kids to get a good, parochial education and not have to associate with the riff-​raff that inhabited the local public schools. (LOL)
So for all that Sacred Heart church has done for the many Catholics in the Ocean Beach and Point Loma area and all that it continues to do, (homeless outreach and Fish and Bread food programs) I award this wonderful church the valuable and noteworthy 5 Unilocal STARS!
