Sacred Heart Cathedral is a cathedral church located at 415 East Green Avenue in Gallup, New Mexico, United States. It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gallup.
History
The first Sacred Heart church was built by Father George Julliard in 1899. [1] [2] Part of the building collapsed in 1916 and a new structure on Hill Street between 4th and 5th Streets replaced it the following year. When the Diocese of Gallup was established in 1939, Sacred Heart Church became its cathedral. [3] The present cathedral dates from 1955 and replaced the 1917 sanctuary at a cost of $500,000. [4] Franciscan Friars served the parish until July 1, 1981, when the first diocesan priest, the Rev. Alfred Tachias, became pastor and cathedral rector.
