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.
Child Protection Program All adults volunteering as liturgical ministers and in other ministries,
events and programs connected with children are required to have a Background Check which is done at
Sacred Heart, and attend a three hour Virtus Training Program. To attend a session you must register online at

St. Blaise: Feast Day Feb 3rd
Prayer to St. Blaise Dear bishop and lover of souls, you
willingly bore heavy crosses in faithful imitation of Jesus. Similarly, with childlike compassion, you cured many sufferers.
Then after undergoing horrible torture, you died as a martyr for Christ. Obtain a cure for
these ails (name the sickness) if this is agreeable to God. Amen.
Throats will be blessed at the end of the
5pm Mass on Saturday, February 3rd.

Sacred Heart Lenten Men’s Prayer Group
The first meeting of the Sacred Heart early
bird men’s prayer group is Saturday February 18th. We’ll meet every Saturday during Lent from 7:30-9:00AM. Why not
join our Lenten devotion. No commitment required. If you’re free and have nothing to do on a Saturday morning why not join us for prayer, coffee and bagels. For more
information contact Deacon Charlie [email protected].
Paschal Candle The Paschal Candle is one of the most sacred
and enduring symbols of our Christian faith.
Each year during the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night, a “new” and
blessed fire lights the Paschal candle. The “new” fire serves as an
image of the Resurrection. The candle, which represents Christ himself, is placed on a special
Paschal Candle stand near the altar.
During the Mass, five grains of incense representing Christ's
wounds are inserted in the form of a cross. An alpha above the cross and
an omega below (the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet)
indicate that Christ is the beginning and end of all. The current year is traced on
the four sides of the cross. The Paschal Candle is lit throughout the Easter Season and
during baptisms and funerals.
If you would like to memorialize our Paschal
Candle for 2018, please call the Parish Center: 516-379-1356 X29 for
additional information.
