Our newly revised Mission Outreach group is planning their first local event here in Springfield. Blessed Sacrament is sponsoring a local cookout on Sunday October 9 from 4 PM to 6 PM for residents of the Edgewood Trailer Park. We are looking for parish volunteers and school families to help grill burgers/hot dogs, set up tables/chairs, transport equipment, tear down and provide items for the cookout. It is our hope that volunteers will stay and mingle with the residents and meet other people in our community. Spanish speakers are particularly welcome! This is a great opportunity for our parish community to put into action our Lord's command to "love your neighbor" in a spirit of generosity, caring, and fun. Sign up to volunteer or donate on the right.

We will go until 11:00 a.m., realizing that some may have to leave a bit earlier.
