Welcome to Save Our Sacred Heart. SOS Heart was formed by concerned parishioners and preservationists in an effort to protect the 1898 edifice from being sold and demolished, after it closed in December 2004.

In the background photo, Sacred Heart Church of San Francisco, at the corner of Fillmore and Fell Streets, is a readily recognizable landmark from many vantage points in the City. Sacred Heart Church represents the last ecclesiastical building still standing by architect Thomas John Welsh. Unwilling to spend the money to seismically retrofit the church, the Catholic Archdiocese closed Sacred Heart. The church was sold and earlier plans for its demolition put aside. SOS Heart and parishioners seek dialog with the new owner on the church's continuing preservation and adaptive reuse as a community resource.
