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

Christ Renews His Parish … 

Upcoming Weekends - Mark Your Calendars

Women's Weekend ~ October 13 & 14
​Men's Weekend ~ October 19 & 20

​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.

CRHP MEN'S WEEKEND BROCHURE

For years I was approached to attend the Christ Renews Women's Weekend and I  always said No. l felt I could not take the time for a retreat, I was a busy working wife and mother. In 2016 I was asked again but for reasons I could not explain then, I said Yes. I had such a strong pull to go. Now I understand that call was from God and I am so grateful I accepted. At the weekend I got to meet so many terrific people. It was so amazing to finally be introduced to that person I sat next to in the pew for all those years, but never knew! Christ Renews continues to be a great way for me to meet so many wonderful people and stay connected to our parish. Please consider attending The Men’s or Women’s Retreat this fall. It may be just what God is calling you to do.   - Parishioner, Colleen Coughlin
