Kamuning Church, officially known as the Diocesan Shrine and Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,[1] is a Roman Catholic parish in the Kamuning District of Quezon City in the Philippines. The church was established by Manila Archbishop Michael J. O'Doherty on October 3, 1941, making it the first parish to be erected in Quezon City after the city's inception in 1939 (although the present-day churches in Novaliches and San Francisco del Monte were in existence already in the areas now located in the city).
Sacred Heart Church is located at the intersection of Scout Ybardolaza Street, Scout Fuentebella Street, and Scout Fernandez Street. Despite its historical familiarity as the Church of Kamuning, it presently belongs to Barangay Sacred Heart, not Barangay Kamuning. The parish is part of the Diocese of Cubao.[1]
The parish celebrates its annual fiesta on the movable feast Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart according to the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, the Friday right after the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, also known as Corpus Christi.
History[edit]
Administered by the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) ever since even before its founding as a parish, the Sacred Heart Church has been an important center of religious activities in Kamuning District, also known as Barrio Obrero II, which was a government housing project by then Philippine Commonwealth President Manuel Luis Quezon for government employees and their families. Late in 1939, the Kamuning Residents' Association sought pastoral care from the SVD fathers, who later celebrated the first Mass where the Kamuning Public Market now stands on that year's Christmas Eve.[2]
On October 1, 1941, the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish was established by Manila Archbishop Michael J. O'Doherty. It has been in the care of the SVD missionaries since then.[2]
In the early 1940s, the parish boundaries reached as far east toward Loyola Heights and westward up to the Mabuhay Rotonda. Today, the parish covers five barangays – Sacred Heart, Kamuning,[3] South Triangle, Kristong Hari, and part of Obrero.[4][5] According to Philippines 2000 Census, the parish jurisdiction has a resident population of 43,074 people.[6]
On October 1, 2016, the 75th foundation year of the parish, Bishop Honesto Ongtioco declared the Sacred Heart Parish as a diocesan shrine. Its official name is Diocesan Shrine and Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus or Sacred Heart Parish-Shrine.[2]
