About Sacred Heart Catholic Church
Established in 1885, Sacred Heart Catholic Church has been part of the religious and community life of Comfort, Texas, for more than 140 years. Located at 114 North US Highway 87, the church serves residents and visitors throughout the Texas Hill Country as part of the Archdiocese of San Antonio.
Sacred Heart began as a Catholic mission in 1885, initially served by neighboring parishes in Boerne and Kerrville. As the Catholic community in Comfort grew, the parish established its first church on Front Street before moving to a new church building on Broadway, dedicated in August 1949. Sacred Heart became an independent parish on September 15, 1964.
Continued growth led to the construction of the current church along Highway 87, which was dedicated in November 2012. The modern facility provides a place for worship, prayer, sacramental celebrations, and community gatherings.
Today, Sacred Heart is a bilingual Catholic parish offering Mass in both English and Spanish. Regular worship services include Saturday afternoon Mass, Sunday morning English Mass, and Sunday afternoon Spanish Mass, along with weekday services.
Beyond worship, the parish provides religious education, sacramental preparation, and community ministries. Programs support children, families, and adults through faith formation, while volunteers assist with parish activities, outreach, and pastoral care.
The church's Loving Care Ministry also provides assistance with receptions following funerals and memorial services, reflecting the congregation's commitment to supporting families during difficult times.
Whether attending Mass, participating in religious education, connecting with the local Catholic community, or visiting Comfort, Sacred Heart Catholic Church offers a welcoming place for faith and fellowship in the Texas Hill Country.
