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

Altar & Rosary Christmas Party

TO THE PARENTS OF OUR YOUNG CHILDREN: MAY WE SUGGEST….RELAX!!!!

God put the wiggle in children;  Don’t feel you have to suppress it in God’s house.  All are welcome! 

Sit toward the front, even the 1st row-it is easier for your little ones to see and hear what’s going on at the altar. 

They tire of seeing the backs of others’ heads.  Quietly explain the parts of the Mass and actions of the priest, Choir, and other ministries.  Help them find the hymns and prayers in the hymnal or booklets. ​

---

Sing the hymns, participate in the liturgy and pray. Children learn  about worship and liturgical behavior by copying you. If you have to leave with your child, feel free to do so, but please come back. As Jesus said, “Let the children come to me.”  Remember that the way we welcome children in church directly affects the way they respond to the Church, to God and to one another. Let them know that they are at home in His house of worship.  ​

TO THE MEMBERS OF OUR PARISH: The presence  of Children is a gift to the church and a reminder that our parish is growing. Please Welcome our children and give a smile of encouragement to their parents.
