The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus or Roman Catholic Church can be found at the busy and bustling streets of Dharmatala, Kolkata, at Lenin Sarani.

Pascoa Baretto de Souza, the grandmother of Sir Walter de Souza, the Portuguese consul general in Calcutta, created it in 1832.

A man named Joseph Gonsalves was shot and hurt by Ms. de Souza's son in 1821 as he was making his way back from the former Chowringhi Theatre. The Sacred Heart of Jesus was founded as a result of her commitment to construct a church if her son was declared not guilty. The church was a part of the Padroado parish until 1844.
