Sacred Heart is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester. The cathedral, built between 1925 and 1927, had been outdated and was in need of repairs, according to diocesan officials.

The former tabernacle was replaced with one that a priest and a nun died trying to save from a fire at the former St. Philip Neri Church in Rochester on Feb. 20, 1967. The Rev. George J. Weinmann and Sister Lilian Marie were found about 6 feet from a church door. By their sides, were the chalices and Holy Eucharist they had given their lives for.
