Sacred Heart of Jesus Church is a historic Roman Catholic church on Berger Street in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.
The church was founded in 1869-70 for German Catholics settling in the Lawrenceburg area. The land for the church was purchased by the Cincinnati Homestead Society. Father Henry Hueser was the first priest; initially services were held in his house. The first church building was a frame building completed in 1872. The church's present brick building was completed in 1887, at which time the earlier frame church was converted into a school.[2]
The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
