Welcome to Blessed Sacrament Parish

Pastor's Corner, February 18-19, 2012

Fr. John J. Bucchino, ofm

Were you ever going through a rough time where you had to make a major decision but weren't sure which one that would be? Time felt like pressure as the more you thought about your options, the more confused you were becoming. You maybe even felt alone in your own anxiety, wondering how things would turn out. Then, all of a sudden, your phone rings. It is a dear friend who "just happened" to be worried about you, and wanted to check out how you were feeling.

Bulletins

Please access our bulletins from previous Sundays. They contain important temporal information about our church, not necessarily available on this web site.

New Roman Missal

Changes are coming this fall with the new Roman Missal. In order to prepare for the changes, each week we will be including a handout in the bulletin to help explain these changes. Also, Fr. John and Br. Charles will also give us updates from the pulpit.

Mission Statement

Blessed Sacrament Parish is a Roman Catholic Faith Community. We gather in Eucharistic celebration and prayer, living and sharing the gospel with faith, hope and love. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we place ourselves at the service of all.
