In Weymouth, Massachusetts, a recent fire ruined Sacred Heart Church. The church was consecrated in 1872 and has been a local landmark. The fire is believed to have been caused by a refrigerator malfunction in the church. Many of the stained glass windows in the church melted from the extreme heat. Others were broken out by firefighters in order to vent the flames and dissipate the heat. The church was since demolished on account of the vast amount of damage.

Sacred Heart's pastor, Fr. Riley said:

The windows are a great teaching tool to communicate faith in a really wonderful way," said the Reverend Daniel Riley, pastor of the gothic revival-style church in Weymouth Landing. "They provide a lot of warmth and character and color to what is a beautiful church. And they are of tremendous artistic value."

Sacred Heart also had two Tiffany windows, one of the Crucifixion and one of the Resurrection.
