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 Please call Sister Lynn, C.S.J. (ext. 19) 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 or to let us know of a parishioner in a
local hospital or medical facility who would like a visit from our pastoral staff.
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 register at www.virtus.org

What is Pentecost? It represents the fulfillment of Christ's promise from the end of Luke's Gospel:
“Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from
Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high” [Lk. 24:46-49].
This "clothing with power" comes with the bestowal of the Holy Spirit upon the Church.

The Twelve Promises of Jesus to Saint Margaret Mary for those devoted to
His Sacred Heart
In the apparitions to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Jesus gives these twelve promises for
those who are devoted to His Sacred Heart.
1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
2. I will establish peace in their families.
3. I will console them in all their troubles.
4. They shall find in My Heart an assured refuge during life and especially at the hour of their death.
5. I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source of an infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall speedily rise to great perfection.
9. I will bless the homes where an image of My Heart shall be exposed and honored.
10. I will give to priests the power of touching the most hardened hearts.
11. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be effaced.
12. The all-powerful love of My Heart will grant to all those who shall receive Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under my displeasure, nor without re-ceiving their Sacraments; My heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour.
