The Sacred Heart Review

A few years ago, an enterprising librarian at the Boston College Libraries noticed a number of dusty folios in the Theology and Ministry Library. As it turned out, these folios contained the Sacred Heart Review, which was published from 1888 to 1916. This newspaper was edited by the Revered John O'Brien, pastor of the Sacred Heart Church in East Cambridge. Most certainly not a church bulletin, this publication was a full-fledged newspaper devoted to local, national, and international news. The true heart of the journal was reporting on events within the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Boston, as well as greater New England. The articles here include pieces on encyclicals from Pope Benedict XV, the loyalty of German Americans in World War I, and a number of advertisements for local products, including patent medicines and various services. Visitors can search all 1547 issues of the Review, and they are also encouraged to look over each edition for items of interest.
