Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church

Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church's beautiful mid-century modern church stands at the corner of 14th St. and Mapleton Avenue in the heart of the bustling Boulder community. A constant witness to the Catholic faith for more than 140 years, the Church offers a quiet refuge to the passerby; our nearby schoolyard is filled with joyful sounds of children. Founded in 1875 by Denver’s first bishop, Bishop Joseph Machebeuf, Sacred Heart of Jesus served Catholics from around the region. Our original building was not complete by 1877, so the first Christmas services were celebrated in a nearby tent. In less than 30 years, we outgrew the original church and a second one was constructed in 1907. Over the years, our community outgrew that church building. In 1963, the current structure was built and dedicated. The 1963 design, a spare, mid-century modern aesthetic, reflects the simplicity espoused by the Benedictine Fathers who shepherded our parish until 1985. View venue website
