History
The first Calvary Chapel was built on this site in 1844 by Bishop Hám János, based on the plans of Tischler Albin, parish priest of the village of Csalános. Tischler Albin also designed the 14 stations in front of the chapel. The chapel was demolished in the early 20th century. The Jesuits appeared in the town in 1858 at the invitation of Bishop Hám János. In 1868 Bishop Haas donated the Calvary Church to the Jesuit Order. Due to structural problems, the old church was demolished in 1907 and the construction of the new church started. The new neo-Gothic church was completed in 1908. The church was consecrated on 6 June 1909 in honour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is one of the most beautiful churches in the town. The church, originally Hungarian, is currently used for Romanian and German Roman Catholic masses. Its main altar was made in eight months by Hölzel Albin, the son of the woodcarver Hölzel Mór from Bártfa. The altar was consecrated on 21 April 1910. The central part is dominated by the statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The statue was erected at his own expense by Fásztusz Elek, a retired teacher of the Szatmárnémeti Grammar School, then parish priest of Tiszaújlak. The rest of the furnishings were largely made by Jesuit brother Neuschendtner Mihály.
