Pastor’s Corner…
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Here is my “bullet - point” pastor’s corner…
VBS: A big “thanks” to
all who helped with our
Golf: As of this writing, the annual Holy Name Society – Jack Nutter Memorial Golf Outing, held on Saturday August 2nd has not yet been completed, and thus, results can’t be published. I will be playing and I hope I find more golf balls than I lose and that I don’t “whiff” on any of my attempted tee shots.
Single Parent Family Fair: The Single Parent Family Fair will be held Saturday, August 9th from 10am to 2pm in the Annex. More information is found in the bulletin. I am grateful for all who are organizing this wonderful outreach to the community. The school supplies offered to the children in our community will be a great sign of the love of our community. Again, I am thrilled that we at Blessed Sacrament are a parish that is concerned about the needs of our neighbors.
Mark your calendars for August 15th: Friday, August 15th is the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary and is a Holy Day of Obligation. Mass will be held Thursday, August 14th at 6pm, Friday, August 15th at 8:15am and 12 noon. Holy Days of Obligation are a great opportunity for us to bring the priority of our faith into the everyday circumstances of our week. It will be a great witness to our faith if you have to miss a game, reschedule a meeting, or adjust plans in order to do something more important.
Parishioner input: What does Blessed Sacrament Church mean to
you? What are the strengths of our parish? What do you like about? What are
areas we can grow in? What are the challenges that we face? What are your
dreams for the parish? Let me know. Write me at
God Bless,
Father Wilson

Choose Life… “It is morally incoherent to say that abortion is wrong at some stages, and by some methods, but unacceptable at others. Human life is indivisible in its moral value. Either it is always and everywhere sacred, or it is always and everywhere disposable. There can be no middle ground.” (Father Frank Pavone, Priests for Life)
