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 the Parish Center.

Child Protection Program All adults volunteering as liturgical ministers and in other ministries

are required to have a Background Check. To attend a session register at www.virtus.org
