CLIFTON Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney made a pastoral visit to Sacred Heart Parish here where he was the principal celebrant of Mass for the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity on May 30.
Sacred Heart’s history dates back to its founding in 1897 as the first Catholic Church in Clifton and the oldest of the Italian national parishes in the Diocese. A frame church was built in 1898 on Cheever Avenue. In 1919, a new church was built on Clifton and Randolph Avenues.
