“Sacred Heart Catholic Church is committed to hosting Bible Study sessions and Sunday morning nursery classes during Mass. In the late 1500s, Jesuit priests founded an outpost in what would later develop into Tampa, yet circumstances led to its abandonment after approximately three years. The grand new edifice was consecrated, adopting the name Sacred Heart in honor of the parish. The cathedral is adorned with 70 stained glass windows, the most prominent of which are the 17 vertical windows adorning the nave. The cathedral also ensures various meeting spaces and hosts services throughout the week. Additionally, Sacred Heart Catholic Church serves as a haven for prayer, praise, and contemplation that extends its welcoming embrace to parishioners, tourists, and downtown community members.”
