Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Sułkowice

The Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus is a parish church in Sułkowice, in the Sułkowice deanery of the Archdiocese of Kraków. Its construction dragged on for several decades.

Construction in 1936-1964

In the 1930s a committee for the construction of the church was formed. In 1936 excavations for the foundations began, and a considerable part of the work was done by the parishioners themselves. The war interrupted the work. The walls began to be raised only in 1949, after the authorities gave their permission, and then the ceilings and a roof with a ridge turret were put in place. The tower was not built because the state authorities did not agree to it.

Consecration and the new altar

The church was consecrated in 1964. In 2014 a new altar was consecrated in it.
