Beginning January 24, 2022 we will offer a retreat on Monday mornings from 9:15 to 11:00 a.m. focused on “Consoling the Heart of Jesus”, written by Fr. Michael Gaitley. Through this 10 week retreat we come to realize that the man who walked in Nazareth and died on Calvary walks with us each day throughout life’s pilgrimage. During the week we will read a chapter in Fr. Gaitley’s book and answer questions in a study guide. On Mondays we will view a short video by Fr Gaitley and engage in discussion of that week’s teachings. The retreat is greatly influenced by St. Ignatius and St. Faustina. It is a wonderful path to the Heart of Jesus for all who are living busy and demanding lives – aren’t we all! The cost is $30, which provides the book, a companion guide, and other helps. Please contact Dcn Dave Erdmann by January 18 to join the retreat (217)522-4683 or olddonegal@gmail.com. All meetings are offered online for those who are not able to attend in person.

During the month of October, the Springfield Catholic Schools are working together with Catholic Charities to help those in need in our Springfield community. The students at Blessed Sacrament have been showing their generosity by donating boxes of mac and cheese, stuffing mix, instant mashed potatoes, gravy mix, bars of soap, toilet paper, and canned goods. We are asking our great parishioners to help support our students in the Catholic Charities Food Drive Competition. Our friends at St. Agnes School have won this competition four years in a row and we are hoping that with your help Blessed Sacrament School will win this year. You can help by donating non-perishable goods or by providing a monetary donation to Catholic Charities. Let's fill those grocery carts and share our many blessings with those less fortunate. Thank you for your generosity!
