Welcome to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart

​On behalf of our parish family, welcome to Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Parish.  Our parish began through the efforts of Father Nelson Baker in 1920.  Until 1949, our parish was a mission of Our Lady of Victory Basilica in Lackawanna, New York.  At the present time, Father Baker has been declared “Servant of God” the first step toward canonization.

​Currently, our parish has over 1200 families and is involved in many ministries and activities.  If you are interested in learning more or becoming a part of our parish family please call the parish office.

God Bless You,
Father Adolph Kowalczyk
Pastor

Mass of Remembrance
Thursday, October 25, 2018

​"For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too."  -- 2 Corinthians 1:5

When someone special leaves us, they remain in our hearts, to honor and remember. Those parishioners who have lost a child or grandchild, regardless of age or circumstance, are cordially invited to participate in a Mass of Remembrance on Thursday, October 25, at 6:30 PM in the church. This mass will be celebrated by Fr. Adolph. It will be an opportunity for us to reflect on the fragility of human life, to remember and pray for our deceased loved ones, and to reaffirm our commitment to live as Christ commanded us.

A reception of light refreshments will follow in the lower church. Kindly complete the form below and return it in the collection basket by Sunday, October 14. For questions or to RSVP by phone, please call Paola Dylik at 716-648-6341.​

​What is Christ Renews His Parish?

Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP, pronounced "Chirp") is a spiritual renewal weekend designed to help individuals grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ and with others in their faith community. It is an excellent opportunity for Catholics to renew their understanding of the basic beliefs and traditions of their faith.

What CRHP is NOT:
​

• It's not a silent retreat.
• It's not a public confession.
• It's not a parish ministry.
• It's not an emotional cult.
• It's not a pre-selected group or clique.
