About Sacred Heart Church
A story of faith, community, and enduring devotion in the heart of Manitoba's Parkland
Our Story
Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church has stood as a beacon of faith in Roblin, Manitoba for generations. Located at 250 Spear Drive in the heart of this Parkland community, our parish has witnessed the joys, sorrows, and triumphs of countless families who have called Roblin home.
As a parish of the Archdiocese of Winnipeg, Sacred Heart Church is deeply rooted in the rich Catholic tradition that shaped western Manitoba. The early settlers of the Roblin area — farmers, tradespeople, and families from diverse European backgrounds, including a significant Ukrainian community — established places of worship that became the spiritual and social anchors of their new home on the Canadian prairies.
Throughout the decades, Sacred Heart Church has grown alongside the town of Roblin itself, adapting to serve the evolving needs of its parishioners while remaining faithful to the timeless teachings of Christ. From baptisms and first communions to weddings and memorial services, our church has been present at every milestone of community life.
Today, Sacred Heart Church continues this legacy under the guidance of Father Rene Katcha Digba, welcoming all who seek a place of worship, fellowship, and spiritual growth. Our registered charity status (CRA Registration: 119131118RR0001) reflects our commitment to transparency and service in all that we do.
