We hope that all new residents will come to the Parish Center to register.

Adult Christian Initiation If you are interested in exploring the Catholic faith or completing your initiation into the Church 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 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

The Peanut Butter and Jelly Gang meets on Monday nights at 7pm in the

Cafeteria. Everyone attending should bring a loaf of bread. Our sandwiches are being

donated to the Long Island Council of Churches in Freeport and to The Inn in Long Beach. We

are also still collecting toiletry items for the Blessing Bags. We make them up for

distribution about once a month depending on how many contributions are received.

Your donation helps so much in enabling us to buy peanut butter, jelly, sandwich bags and

also gallon size bags for the Blessing bags. We also greatly appreciate the many

donations that are sent in by our wonderful parishioners!

Prayer For Safety of Our Service Men &

Women Almighty and Eternal God, protect these men and

women as they discharge their duties. Protect them with the shield of your strength and keep

them safe from all evil and harm. May the power of your love enable them to return home in safety to all who love them. May they ever praise you for your loving care. We ask this through Christ

our Lord. Amen.

Please note that the bulletin deadline is Tuesday morning. All bulletin

submissions need to be in by 10am on Tuesday. Thank you.

We will be starting a little project this summer that, hopefully, will be completed by the fall.

The Babylon Interfaith Homeless Initiative

houses the homeless from the first Wednesday in December till the last Wednesday in March. We have been asked to supply them with 700 ziplock

bags containing the following TRAVEL SIZE toiletries:

Wash cloth, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap,

shampoo, disposable razors, shave cream, deodorant. Optionals: Comb, chapstick, tissues

and of course gallon size ziplock bags.

We will appreciate store cards or donations so that we can shop for anything that doesn't get

donated. Many thanks for your ongoing generosity.

P B and J will be meeting every other Monday

throughout the summer: June 3 and 17, July 1, 15 and 29 and August 12 and 26. We meet at 7:00 in the school cafeteria. All are welcome,

please bring bread!

While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to

them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many."
