In Loving Memory Of John Heverin: Deacon John Heverin Obituary
The Sacred Heart community mourns the profound loss of Deacon John Heverin, a beloved and dedicated servant who passed from this life. For years, Deacon John was a constant and comforting presence, faithfully bringing the Gospel to life through his ministry.
His gentle voice delivered homilies that resonated deeply, and he guided countless families through life’s most sacred moments—baptizing their children, witnessing their weddings, and offering solace at wake services. His commitment extended far beyond the sanctuary through his tireless work with the St. Vincent de Paul Society, serving those in need, and his thoughtful guidance in marriage preparation programs.
More than his duties, it was Deacon John’s personal touch that will be forever cherished. He was known for his deep compassion, which put hearts at ease, and his warm Irish humor, which brought light and laughter to all who knew him. He embodied a ministry of joyful service and genuine connection.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Sacred Heart Church in North Merrick on Thursday, February 19, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. to commend his soul to God. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available. May his faithful soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace.
