BLESSED SACRAMENT CHURCH

WELCOME

The Blessed Sacrament Church staff and community welcome you to our parish!  We invite you to attend our masses and experience our communal spirit for yourself. Blessed Sacrament is unique because we are a Church in the round. Wherever you sit, you see a friendly face looking back at you. This provides a feeling of unity that adds to the spirit of fellowship. Information on our Church happenings can be found here on our website.

Rev. Fr. Robert A. Gentile, Jr. is our pastor. He is assisted by Deacon Rev. Mr. Wendell Pennell.  Fr. Gentile's 100th anniversary gala letter to the community is a great way to get an initial glance into our pastor's history with the community.

May God continue to bless each and every one of you.

TUNE YOUR CAR RADIOS TO 89.9 FM

If for any reason you are unable to join us inside the church, please come to the parking lot and tune your car radio to 89.9 FM. You will be able to hear Fr. Gentile inside the church. You will also be able to receive Communion in your car when Mass is over. When Mass is done, please turn on your hazard lights so that he can bring you Communion.
