A cornerstone laid in 1898, Sacred Heart Cathedral was built in the late 19th century. It was dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and was intended to become a grand symbol of the Catholic faith in Dallas. The construction of the cathedral was a major undertaking. It was built on a property purchased for $30,000, a large sum at the time. This property was located at Ross and Pearl Streets. When Dallas was established as a diocese in 1890, Sacred Heart Church was designated as the diocesan cathedral. The original Sacred Heart parish was located at the corner of Bryan and Ervay Streets. The location is now the site of the Central Post Office. It became the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. Bishop Thomas Brennan was named as the first bishop of Dallas. The growing Catholic population of Dallas soon made the original church too small. The project was led by Father Jeffrey A. Hartnett, a dedicated priest and tireless supporter. He did not live to see the cathedral’s completion. Sadly, Father Hartnett died in 1899 during a smallpox epidemic, while caring for the spiritual needs of patients at the city infirmary. The cathedral was completed and formally dedicated on October 26, 1902. Many years later, in 1977, the cathedral was renamed after Our Lady of Guadalupe. The dedication was a momentous event, marking a new chapter in the history of the church. Today, it is known as Cathedral Santuario de Guadalupe, the Cathedral Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It is one of just two cathedrals in the United States to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patron saint of the Americas. Take a moment to admire this beautiful cathedral, a testament to faith and history in the heart of Dallas.
