Blessed Sacrament Church

Saturday vigil: 4:00 PM
Sunday: 8:00 and 10:00 AM
Monday - Friday: 8:30 AM

We have an excellent facility directly behind the church - the Epiphany House - that is undergoing somewhat of an evolution. We now have a small but well equipped technology center for use by parishioners.



We also have two large rooms with multimedia facilities for group meetings. We also have well furnished classrooms.

Open house: If you haven't visited recently, the Epiphany House will be open to all parishioners and visitors from 1:00 until just before the 4:00 Mass on two Saturdays this month - the 16th and the 23rd. Our grant funded resource, Community Outreach to Hope and Recover, will be available on screen for all to explore. Why not drop in for a brief visit before Mass? Come see what's developing right here in our own parish.
 

Faith formation is ongoing. Although Lent seems to be off into the distance as we celebrate the Christmas Season, a new Lenten faith formation program will be available for adults. It is being prepared by Sister Irma Gendreau, Spiritual Growth Educator, and Romeo Marquis, Faith Formation Facilitator. 

Interfaith understanding: This past Sunday our Confirmation class hosted a group of students and teachers from the Worcester Islamic Society. Congratulations to our Confirmation class and their catechists, Frank Katrheiser and Paula Bushy, along with Father Trainor, for being so active in this process. Interfaith event such as this are very effective in promoting deeper understanding of who we are.

Blessing of students: On Sunday, January 27, catechists took a few moments to bless their students by signing them on the forehead. The bond between catechists and students is a strong one. Catechists deserve special thanks for volunteering to work with our young people each week - very important work. It was indeed a touching moment to bless our students..

Safe environment: Today's young people often find themselves in dangerous environments. As an important component of our faith formation program, Ms. Brenda Maxwell is conducting an excellent program about safe and unsage situations encountered by children from time to time.

Appreciation Brunch: Our annual Appreciation Brunch was on Sunday, February 3, immediately following the 10:00 Mass. In many ways, parish events like the Brunch reflect an emerging vision of "church" - who we are, what we do.

More interfaith activity: On Tuesday, Fenruary 26, Community Outreach to Hope and Recovery group will participate in an interfaith service at the Congregation Beth Israel temple here in Worcester. This event will begin with a brief prayer service followed by an exhibit of information and support services available in greater Worcester. All are welcome. 

Community Outreach to Hope and Recovery is an interfaith approach to the opioid epidemic. We welcome participants of all faiths to join us in this endeavor. We work with families and friends of loved ones suffering from various forms of addiction. We are partnering with agencies in the greater Worcester area to provide education, resources and support. An online notebook is available for you to browse through this important project. Click here.

If your faith community would like to participate with us, please contact Rmarquis48@outlook.com or 978-606-7023 (voice/text).
