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.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Regional Catholic School Where we “Embrace” our faith with
Respect, Responsibility & Reverence.
Seen here are students who participated in our SEAS Talent Show. Student’s talents ranged
from dancing, singing, stand up comedy, magic, and much more! Everyone did a fantastic job! Thank you to Ms. Gallego, Mrs. Yannelli, Mrs. Sileo and Mrs. Sylvan for planning this great
show!
Seen here is class 6-2, Mrs. McNamara’s class. Thank you for hosting our second
Lenten Prayer Service. Across the school students are focusing on their Lenten
promises and deepening their relationship with God. Students received the sacrament of Reconciliation. Also, students are preparing
for Holy Week by gathering food to make sandwiches to feed local people in need.

Food Pantry Pantry Sunday
Weekend of March 24/25
Next week, as we journey through holy week together, we support each other to
continue our Lenten tasks to fast give and pray. Please remember the financially poor of our community next weekend by bringing grocery
items to mass for Pantry Sunday. People often ask what is needed, the best response is whatever your family wants or needs others do too. If you’re still looking for suggestions what we most often need is: ready to heat meals, cereal, detergent, paper, towels/napkins. Please remember to check expiration dates.

This special day offers all Catholics, even those who have been away from the
