Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish - designated for Polish immigrants in Danbury, Connecticut, United States.
In 1924, Polish immigrants obtained permission from the Bishop of Hartford Michael Tierney to organize a church for the Polish community. The first Masses were held in the basement of the Danbury Town Hall. In the spring of 1925 the property where the church now stands was purchased for one dollar and other valuable considerations. Within four months over $20,000 was collected, and construction of the new church began almost immediately, and on October 18, 1925, 2,000 people witnessed the laying of the cornerstone. On April 8, 1926 the dedication of the church was celebrated.
