Blessed Sacrament

Bishop Paprocki has lifted the special dispensation Catholics have from attending Mass during the pandemic. 

We will continue to livestream the Masses at the regular times and provide communion services to those unable to go to Mass.  Click on the Watch Mass HERE button above.

For those who watch the livestream, we will continue to provide communion services on Sunday morning from 9:45 until 10:00 AM  in the main entrance to school off the south parking lot.  Beginning Memorial Weekend we will only have one distribution time.

You can call the parish for all other spiritual and sacramental needs.

Adoration Chapel has always been open for private prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Public hours are from 5:00 AM until 10:00 PM.

Holy water is available again in all of the fonts.

Confessions are heard in the Adoration Chapel Monday through Saturday from 7:30 AM to 7:45 AM and on Saturday afternoon from 3:00 to 4:00 PM. 

Visit the parish website at www.bsps.org. This is the best way to know what is going on in the parish. You can also sign up to receive electronic messages at the right hand side of this page.

The parish depends on your stewardship and generosity in order to bring sacraments and spiritual services to you. You may mail in your contribution or donate online through the secure link on our stewardship/parish giving page.  You may also call the parish office to sign up for ACH (automatic contributions). 

A donation to H.O.P.E. (Helping Our People in Emergencies), formerly known as St. Vincent de Paul, will let our parish reach out to them.

Scrip gift cards are currently handled through the parish office.
 

• Communion will be distributed on Sunday morning at 9:45 at the front entrance to the school.

• Vehicles should enter the parking lot from the Walnut St. entrance closest to the rectory. Park your car and wait (Glenwood entrance will be closed)

• The sidewalk along the north side of the lot will be marked in 6 foot increments. This is the communion line.  You may wait as a family or an individual, but remember, this is not a time for visiting.  It is a time to prepare yourself to receive the Lord. We ask that you pray the Our Father as you approach the school.

• You need to wear a mask as you approach the entrance.

• When you reach the front of the school, there will be a hand sanitizer station for you to clean your hands - please use it.

• Communion minister will be stationed at the doors to the school. When it is your turn and the person in front of you has departed, you may approach and receive communion and then exit on the other side.  Be sure to offer a prayer thanking Jesus for allowing you to receive Him today.

• Return to your car and leave the parking lot via the south exit on Walnut.  

• If you are unable to get out of you car because of health reasons, let the attendant know and they will direct your car to a place where communion will be brought to you.

The Parish Office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.  You may drop off your contribution envelope or mail it to Blessed Sacrament.  You may choose to make an online payment here or call the parish office at 528-7521  to set up an ongoing monthly or weekly contribution.  View our Parish Giving information under Stewardship by clicking here.

Prayer to St. Corona in a Time of Epidemic

Lord Jesus Christ, You came into this world for our salvation. Look kindly on us now, we pray, that we, and all those who serve You, might be kept safe from this epidemic. 

Heal those who are sick, comfort the suffering, bring back those who have gone astray, and above all, increase our faith, O Lord. 

Give us the grace to follow You and, like the martyr St. Corona, who gave her life for love of You, to take up our crosses daily without fear or hesitation. 

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, have mercy on us and on the whole world. 

St. Corona, patroness of epidemic victims, pray for us.
