Thanksgiving Parish Outreach
Historically, through your generosity, Blessed Sacrament has provided Thanksgiving food baskets for our parish families going through challenging economic times. This year more families are challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic; more than a few parishioners have experienced reduced salaries and layoffs.
Your act of charity helps spread the good news of the Gospel. As Pope Francis said, “practicing charity is the best way to evangelize.” If you wish to donate a turkey or ham, please bring them to the Parish Office on any Wednesday between the hours of 9 am to 4 pm. Beginning October 31st, you may drop them off on Sundays between 7:30 am to 1:00 pm. A staff member will place them in the freezer chest. Please do not leave a gifted turkey unattended. It would be unfortunate to have the turkey or ham spoiled because of a lack of proper placement.
The parish also wants to give each family a gift card to be used at a grocery store to help supplement their groceries for their Thanksgiving meal. You can drop the gift cards by the Parish office in the marked box or a box in the parish narthex.
We would like to have the items delivered no later than November 22nd.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and continued blessings.

October 31/November 1 weekend- update
-
Beginning with November 7/8th we have the following new Mass schedule:
Saturday Vigil: 4:00 pm
Sunday: 7:30 AM, 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM
We wanted to keep you abreast of our efforts to ensure your safety and instill confidence in returning to Mass. Two initiatives are being done. First, we are performing Covid-19 disinfecting and sanitizing by a professional cleaning crew after each Mass and service. Hospital grade disinfectant is used in the sanctuary to treat the pews. Disinfectant is used to sanitize chairs, doorknobs, and handles. Glass is cleaned of handprints and marks. The narthex’s carpets are vacuumed, and the restrooms are wiped down using a disinfectant. Second, we have installed iWave air purifiers in the heating/air-conditioning system in the sanctuary. iWave’s Needle Point Bi-Polar Ionization (NPBI) technology is used across diverse environmental conditions, including churches, hospitals, and health care facilities. This technology has shown that 99.4% of Covid-19 (and other viruses) were inactivated in 30 minutes. If you are interested in more details, please feel free to stop by the office and pick up a brochure from our contractors. It is through the generosity of our parishioners that we have been able to complete this investment. May God continue to bless our parishioners and their families.
Mass will be held in the church with a capacity of 150 people for each Mass. For those concerned about Covid-19 or in a high-risk category, the 10:00 AM Mass wiil be Live-Streamed. We will also continue to distribute communion to parishioners in vehicles after the Sunday 10:00 am Mass from approximately 11:00 am to 11:15 am at the front entrance of the church. The church will continue to be cleaned between each Mass.
Sign up for Mass is NOT required but you are encouraged to arrive early before church capacity is reached. Communion distribution has returned to its regular position during the Mass.
