Welcome to Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish! We’re so glad you’re here.
From prayer to community outreach, from children’s liturgies to senior solidarity, from sports programs for kids to bereavement counseling for the grieving, Sacred Heart Parish has been a heart to Bayside for 142 years. But we’re still not there yet, we’re still evolving; and we need your help, your unique gifts.
No matter where you’re at: feeling challenged by the circumstances of life or just needing to say thank you for an unexpected gift, sacraments are portals to a higher dimension, doorways to the divine, inviting us into the experience of mercy. Join us this Sunday!

Mass: What to Expect
The central Catholic act of worship is attending the Mass, or Divine Liturgy. The Mass is divided into two parts: the Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
During the first part, the priest leads us in prayer and songs, praising God, thanking Him, and asking Him for forgiveness. We hear Scripture readings, the priest gives a talk, and then we all pronounce the core principles of our faith.
In the second part, the priest says the blessing, transforming bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. We all say the "Our Father" prayer, and then receive communion. Finally, there is a closing prayer and final blessing.
