Judy and I are active parishioners at this, the oldest parish in the State of New Jersey. Sacred Heart on South Broad Street is steeped in antiquity. Indeed, the gorgeous edifice is listed as a National Historic Site. My interest in local history makes for a perfect fit, and I know my viewers will indulge me as I post many historic items from the very extensive "ST. JOHN'S-SACRED HEART" folder in the Hamilton Library's Local History Collection. The 1888 article accompanying this post tells of the Baraldi paintings which were done in the late 1800's. There will be many other interesting posts on this historic church in the future.
