About Sacred Heart · Glen Ullin, North Dakota
Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Glen Ullin, North Dakota, traces its roots to 1884, when the first Catholic Mass was celebrated in a private home. Founded by German-speaking immigrants, the parish grew through communal effort, building its own church and parish house with donated labor and materials. Guided by the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the example of St. Joseph, the parish community remains rooted in Gospel values and committed to prayer, sacraments, and compassionate outreach. Today, it serves a rural Catholic family in Grant County, welcoming newcomers and those seeking spiritual home.
