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
[email protected].
PARISH PAY CAMPAIGN RESULTS Thank you to the 116 parishioners who participated in our Parish Pay Campaign in May. Of the 116, 98 are new enrollees and 18 increased their giving. As you recall, an anonymous group of parishioners committed to donate $10,000 to Blessed Sacrament if 150 parishioners signed up or increased their Parish Pay donations. The 116 is 77.3% of our 150 goal. At almost 80% of the goal, the anonymous group of parishioners decided to donate 77.3% of our goal, or $7,730, to Blessed Sacrament. We are grateful for their generosity!
Enjoy your summer and thank you for supporting our wonderful parish. May God Bless all of our donors.
