Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Join us as we meet-up at Atlanta's Church of the Sacred Heart!

This beautiful church has everything a photographer dreams of to make a great photograph: structure, detail, color, texture, and light to name a few. You can almost just point and shoot anywhere in this building and come up with a great photograph.

Often referred to as “the best kept secret in Atlanta”, the current building was built in 1898. It was thought by many to be “too far outside the city.” My, how things have changed. In an answer to the growing needs of the Catholic population in Atlanta, Sacred Heart parish, originally called Saints Peter and Paul, was founded in 1880 as the second Catholic Church in Atlanta and the third in Georgia. Check out more about this structures wonderful history at www.sacredheartatlanta.org.
