Monsignor Henry Gomez from the neighboring church of Saint Gertrude
in Bell Gardens presided at Masses at various locations on Florence
Avenue or wherever a place could be found to accommodate the crowds
who wanted to worship.
Before the establishment of the parish, the doors to the “Roman
Catholic Mission in Cudahy” opened in 1990 when Bishop Carl Fisher
found a nearby Methodist Church that was selling property.
In 1992 the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart of Jesus began administering
the Parish. The official establishment as Parish came on January
18, 1998; and with the establishment came a name change to Parroquia
del Sagrado Corazon y Santa Maria de Guadalupe.
“The Small Church on Clara Street” as it is commonly known to
the majority of the community soon grew in attendance and made
the small church inadequate, and parishioners built an additional
open-air platform for more space. There are currently 875 registered
families, and about 150 non-registered families. About 500 baptisms
are celebrated a year and fund raising efforts begun to build
a new church.
Our Church project is divided into three phases. The first phase,
consisting of a parking lot, was completed on Friday, February
12th, 2010. A lot of effort has been put into the project and
the Second Phase, consisting of the new Church, Classrooms, and
Offices, is programmed to begin by the end of 2010.
