The Church of the Sacred Hearts of Mary and Jesus was a former Roman Catholic parish church, primarily serving Italian Americans, that was demolished. The church was first located on President Street off of Van Brunt Street and then on Degraw and Hicks Streets, Brooklyn Heights, New York City.

Another Italian-American parish Church of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary is located in Brooklyn was demolished around 2008.Catholic Mission of the Italian Colony of the City of Brooklyn

  • The Catholic Mission of the Italian Colony of the City of Brooklyn was established in 1882 by Fr. Joseph Fransioli (sometimes spelled Francioli) in St. Peter’s Church (corner of Warren and Hicks Streets). It was the first parish established specifically for Italian immigrants on Long Island.

St. Charles Chapel

The church was opened in May 1885 on President Street off of Van Brunt Street but by 1900 a new structure was needed.[1] Mother Cabrini came to the parish during this time and in 1892 with her sisters established a school for Italian immigrant children in the parish. This was under the direction of her order. This school, St. Charles' School, was opened within an adaptively reused former Moravian church on Van Brunt Street purchased by Bishop McDonnell of the Diocese of Brooklyn.[2] After the 1906 completion of the new church, Fr. Vogel kept the church on President Street as the Chapel of St. Charles, apparently derivative of Mother Cabrini's school.[1]

New church

Father Vogel completed a new church in 1906 on Degraw and Hicks Streets, keeping the previous church as the Chapel of Saint Charles in the same parish. The new church and surrounding buildings were cleared by Robert Moses for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The final mass was celebrated on the morning of December 7, 1941.[1]
