Sacred Heart

Parish Family 32

Sacred Heart is a small rural parish in the growing town of Enumclaw, Washington. There are currently about 700 people who attend Sunday Mass. The parish has a deep history rooted in the Faith of parishioners in Enumclaw and the surrounding towns.

Established in 1888, Sacred Heart was originally a mission church of Holy Family parish in Krain (10 miles to the north). It became a parish in its own right in 1898. Eventually, the railroad came through Enumclaw and both the town of Krain and Holy Family church gradually diminished. Now only the Holy Family Cemetery at Krain remains near the site of the old Krain church.

Settled by Eastern European Catholics, Sacred Heart continued many of their strong traditions and devotions. Even now, more than a hundred years later, one old world tradition still survives: every year on November 1st, the Feast of All Saints, candles are lit on all the graves in the old Holy Family Cemetery at Krain and the rosary is said as darkness falls.

The original Sacred Heart church was downtown at Griffin and Porter. It was built in 1887-9 but sadly burned down in 1911. Rebuilt on the same site, Sacred Heart remained there until the parish outgrew the building. In 1973, the parish moved to its current site but brought along the steeple from the old church as a memorial to our history and to the faith of those who came before us.
