Pastor's Desk
Dearly Beloved Parishioners,
After a long summer break, we return with renewed zeal, enthusiasm and hope to embrace a new chapter in our pastoral life. As Scripture reminds us: “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” (Hebrews 12:1).
With the recent parish-level elections of our new Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) representatives, Small Christian Community (SCC) Co-ordinators and Parish Association and Cell (PAC) representatives for the term 2026–2029, we look forward in faith and hope to building our parish community with freshness and vitality; thus, adding more vibrancy to our missionary zeal. It gives us immense joy to welcome aboard the young adult faithful who have been elected to serve the Church over the next three years. We extend our best wishes as they step forward to lead, guide and nurture our parish to grow wholistically as exemplary disciples of a synodal Church.

Heart to Heart Parish Newsletter
Our parish's newsletter, "Heart to Heart," serves as a channel of communication, assisting in the announcement of events and the reporting of information regarding the various initiatives of Sacred Heart Parish, Andheri East. It also serves as a testament to God's wonderful works among us in our parish through the activities of its various cells, groups, associations, and communities. Besides circulation within our parish (one copy per family), the bulletin is also sent to the Dean, Bishop etc. as reports. Spiced with humour, information about good health, professional opinion, interviews with leaders within the Parish, a message from the Parish Priest, articles for spiritual growth, and a Bible Quiz corner for Family, The Heart to Heart is a publication that is released quarterly, around the feasts of Easter, Sacred Heart of Jesus, Nativity of Our Lady and Christmas. Each issue focuses on a theme. The editorial team works within a scheduled timeframe and also takes into consideration the economics of publishing the bulletin.
