JOIN BLESSED SACRAMENT’S BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE It’s finally happening and we need your help. The parish’s Buildings and Grounds Committee is forming and still needs volunteers. The committee’s task is to find ways to better use the parish’s buildings’ spaces and improve energy usage. If you have experience with building design, renewable energy, construction, work in the building trades or just interested in helping to optimize the use of the parish’s facilities, the committee needs your help. This is an opportunity to help the parish be a better steward of its funds and the environment by reducing our utility bills and carbon footprint. Please contact Pia Ferrario at pferrario2@icloud.com.
