HomeSacred Heart is a Catholic parish located in Oconee, Illinois. Established on May 9, 1872, the parish has roots tracing back to the 1860s when German-speaking residents sought their first priest. The current church, dedicated in 1913, features a hand-painted image of the Sacred Heart created by a young parishioner and is home to exquisite stained glass windows depicting the mysteries of the Rosary. Sacred Heart Church celebrated its 150th anniversary in June 2022 and hosts an annual Family Fall Festival, which began in 1994 and has evolved into a celebrated community event.
