The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a Roman Catholic church in the Elisabetin district of Timișoara. Located in Nicolae Bălcescu Square, the neo-Gothic church was built between 1912 and 1919 after a project by architect Károly Salkovits. Holy Masses are celebrated in German, Hungarian and Romanian. The church is run by Salvatorian monks, a relatively young order founded in 1881 in Austria.
