The Sacred Heart Church

British overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha in the southern Atlantic Ocean.[4]

This is one of 3 operating Catholic churches in that territory, the others being those located in Cat Hill, near Wideawake Airfield in Ascension Island (Church of Our Lady of the Ascension), and in Edinburgh of the Seven Seas on the island of Tristan da Cunha (St. Joseph Church).[citation needed]

The first Catholic priests came to Saint Helena with

Mission sui juris of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha (Missio sui iuris Sanctae Helenae, Ascensionis et Tristanensis), which was created in 1986 under the pontificate of Pope John Paul II.[citation needed
