The Church of the Sacred Heart Parish, also known as Sacred Heart Parish of New Bohemia is a Catholic church in Petersburg, Virginia that was built in 1906. It was originally constructed to serve the needs of the Czech and Slovak immigrant population that settled in the New Bohemia area. The success of the church later attracted immigrants from other Eastern European countries such as Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine.[3][4]
