The Basilica of the Sacred Heart and Sacred Heart Parish carriers; the Church of Our Lady of Loretto carriers (the congregation's archives guide; Notre Dame Magazine)
The churches Howard excepted — "those at Notre Dame and St. Mary's" — are the religious center of the township's southern ground and are carried here at pointer strength, as Notre Dame's own history, never as Roseland's. Sacred Heart began with the university itself in late November 1842 under Edward Sorin; its first proper church was completed in 1848; the present church — cornerstone 31 May 1871, first Mass 15 August 1875, consecrated 15 August 1888 — was raised to a minor basilica on 17 January 1992. Saint Mary's Church of Our Lady of Loretto, the Sisters of the Holy Cross's church on the college ground, prints with its small date pair unmerged: the congregation's archival guide gives the church completed in 1886 with first Mass 12 November 1887 (rebuilt 1954–56), while Notre Dame Magazine gives it built in 1885, altered in the same 1954–56 work. Both institutions stand in the Notre Dame community between Clay and Portage townships, south of the town; Roseland's people have worshipped within sight of them for a century, and they belong to Notre Dame's build, not this one.
