The Sacred Heart Church in Tombstone, Arizona, United States, a Roman Catholic church, was established in 1881, as the first church of any denomination in rough-and-tumble Tombstone, founded in 1877, which had quickly become the largest and busiest city between San Francisco and St. Louis. It was only the sixth Catholic church in the Arizona Territory, and its 1882 building is the oldest known surviving frame church in Arizona. Its courtyard behind holds rose bushes of unusual size.
