The building of Our Lady of Pompeii Church is connected to Saint Frances Cabrini, First American citizen to be canonized in the Catholic Church. Mother Cabrini's work in Dobbs Ferry in the early 1900s attracted Italian immigrants to the area to celebrate Mass in the Chapel on her property. As the crowds grew, Mother Cabrini suggested they build their own church. With that inspiration, fundraising soon began for the purchase of the property on Palisade Street.
Sacred Heart officially merged with Our Lady of Pompeii Parish in 2014, forming the Roman Catholic Church of Sacred Heart and Our Lady of Pompeii.
