BLESSED SACRAMENT CHURCH

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.
