Sacred Heart Catholic Church ESTABLISHED 1874
At the center of every successful city, like Texarkana, you will find a few things in common—safe schools, easily accessible healthcare, and affordable housing. However, even when those things are out of reach, the local churches remain. The connection, support, and shared values of like-minded locals is something we all desire as we build our families and create the solid foundation of home. For over 150 years, St. James African Methodist Episcopal Church and Sacred Heart Catholic Church have opened their doors, welcoming generations and keeping the light of faith burning in Texarkana.
