Parish Membership We hope that all new residents of Merrick and surrounding communities will
feel at home at Sacred Heart and come into the Parish Center to register.
Adult Christian Initiation If you are interested in exploring the Catholic faith or completing your initiation into the Church through the
reception of the sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation, please call the Parish Center.
Infant Baptism Preparation If you wish to arrange a baptism at Sacred Heart Church, please
contact the Parish Center at 516-379-1356 X10. One of our baptism coordinators will be happy to arrange a
time to meet with you. This conversation provides an opportunity to discuss the Baptism ceremony as well as
set a date for the sacrament. Ideally, both Godparents should be practicing Catholics. We will review the
procedures for the sacrament and you will be able to fill out all the necessary paperwork. Baptisms are held on
the first and third Sunday of each month at 2pm in the church. First time parents need to attend a Baptism
Class. They are held on the last Monday of each month in the church at 7:30pm. Crying babies welcome!
Godparents are encouraged but not required to attend.
Sacrament of Matrimony Please contact the Parish Center at least one year in advance of the
intended date of the wedding. A priest of the parish will interview you, set the wedding date and help you
register for the required marriage preparation program (Pre-Cana).
Sacrament of Reconciliation A priest is available to welcome you to Confession each Saturday
at 4:00 P.M. in the Church. Please don’t hesitate to call a priest at the Parish Center for an appointment for
Confession at another time.
Sacraments for the Homebound If you or a family member are not able to attend Mass due to
temporary or chronic illness, and would like to receive the Sacraments of Communion, Reconciliation and/or
Anointing of the Sick, please call to arrange for reception at home. Arrangements may also be made for a
friendly phone call from our Social Ministry Volunteers. Please let us know of a parishioner in a local
hospital or medical facility who would like a visit from our pastoral staff. Please call Sister Lynn, C.S.J.
516-379-1356 ext. 19 for more information.

WHAT’S IN THE
BOX? Have you noticed the box by the cross in church? Wonder what is in it? During Lent there are certain things we don’t use and certain prayers
we don’t say. We don’t sing the Gloria during Lent, or ring the bells or sing the
Alleluia. Also, Fr. Stephen and Fr. Benet don’t wear their white vestments during Lent—they wear purple. These items: a
copy of the Gloria, Alleluia, the bells, and a white vestment are all ‘in the box’ during
Lent. We will remove them from the box on Easter Sunday as we celebrate the joy of
the resurrection.
7:30 pm in the church each Friday in Lent. All are invited.
The parish is starting a Family Ministry and we need you! This group will help plan
family activities for the parish as well as at the Family Mass. All are welcome: moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles... You don’t have to have children to be a part of this - just a desire to help create a great place for families. Those who are interested
please contact Carol Tannehill at [email protected] or call
516-379-1356 X29. Bring your thoughts, ideas, suggestions and creativity to a
meeting on Tuesday, March 6th at 7:30pm in the Parish Center.
Prayer Shawl Meeting
Monday, February 26th at 7pm in the Convent Meeting Room. If you are looking
to do something rewarding this Lent, please come and join us. Questions?
Please contact Marie: 662-3055 Pope Francis appointed Most Reverend Robert J. Coyle, 53, to serve as an auxiliary bishop in the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Until today, Bishop Coyle was serving as Episcopal Vicar for the Eastern Half of the United States, Archdiocese for the Military Services.

on April 2, 2018.
New Auxiliary Bishop Named

The Kindergarten had an exciting week! They celebrated their 100th Day of School with an
exciting presentation, party, and service project. The students hard work was on
display as they sang songs, displayed their “100 Things” collections, and even spoke on
stage! Students also collected over 100 items which they donated to the food pantry which feeds local families in need. Keep your light
shining bright Kindergarten!
Thank you Father Adrian for leading our Ash Wednesday Prayer Service. He spoke of how relieving stress can help us strengthen our relationship with God. As well as choosing a Lenten Promise.
