Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church is a welcoming Roman Catholic Parish Community.  Our mission is to bring people closer to God through meaningful worship, through grace-filled community activities and through service to His children through the Corporal and Spiritual Works of mercy.  We endeavor to build upon the God-given talents and abilities of each of us to serve all of us.  
We celebrate the welcoming hospitality of this parish; its inclusiveness and respect for the cultural, thnic, racial, political and economic diversity of its members.  There are 37 different nationalities composing the magnificent mosaic of the church of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.

Devotions to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary are central to our sharing of grace with one another.

At the present time, the pastoral care of the parish of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart is entrusted to the priests of the New York Congregation Oratory of Saint Philip Neri. The spirit of “joyful discipleship”, which distinguished the first disciples of Jesus and St Philip Neri himself, inspires our community.

 UPDATE:  Merging of  Our Lady of Sacred Heart, and St. John the Baptist Church, Piermont
 
While this merger, which will not take place immediately, will make the administration of the merged  parishes more efficient, the priests of the Oratory will remain entrusted with the pastoral care of both churches.  Both churches will remain open for weekday and Sunday services.

Additional information from the Archdiocese will be posted as we receive it.
