Blessed Sacrament 45th Anniversary

On September 6, 2025 the parish celebrated the 45th anniversary of the dedication of Blessed Sacrament church. At the same time, the 30th anniversary of the Catholic Women's League and the Knights of Columbus were also celebrated. Anniversary plaques were presented following a special mass, which was attended by some of the priests who have served at Blessed Sacrament as well as current and former CWL and KofC members. After mass, refreshments were served outside and parishioners were able to mingle and visit. It was a joyous celebration of our parish community!

EASTER TRIDIUUM 2025

Easter celebrations took place between April 17-20, 2025. Holy Thursday was well attended and the one hour directed adoration at the Altar of Repose was uplifting for those who attended. On Good Friday, Veneration of the Cross was the highlight of the day. Then the Easter Vigil ("the mother of all vigils") took place on Saturday evening. The church was lit by candlelight as the flame was shared with one another. We were blessed to welcome two new Catholics into our congregation with Baptism and Confirmation. Special thanks to all who took an active part in our Easter celebrations - musicians, altar servers, readers, decorators and those who led the Adoration!

INTERNET SAFETY

On March 11, 2025 the CWL invited Darren Smith, an IT specialist, to speak on Internet Safety. All parishioners were invited to this engaging talk about protecting oneself from viruses, scams, hacks and other current internet-related issues. We learned how to develop strong passwords that we could remember, what to do with a suspicious email and how to respond to phone calls that request money. It was a worthwhile evening!
