History: Sacred Heart Church, Naour
The Latin Catholic parish at Naour opened in 1924. Its present Sacred Heart church was developed in the 1950s and blessed by Patriarch Alberto Gori on 17 May 1958. The parish history distinguishes this building from its earlier church of 1927 and records a new parish school in 1954.
An interesting detail
A Lourdes shrine was inaugurated at the parish in 2015, adding a Marian pilgrimage space to the church grounds.
