BLESSED SACRAMENT PARISH
Dear Parishioners of Blessed Sacrament
The only perfect Christmas happened once, over two thousand years ago! Our
Christmas is sometimes mixed with memories of loved ones who have gone home or
mixed with sickness, disappointments and worries. Whatever the case know that the
Lord wishes to be born anew in your heart and He comes with peace, comfort and joy.
Welcome Him! In His love we find grace, mercy, compassion and hope.
Make Christmas the best it can be for you and yours. Cherish the moments and do
all things with love. As you reflect on the year which is quickly coming to an end, be grateful for the
many ways the Lord has touched your life and warmed your heart.
Thank you for your kindness, friendship, care for your parish and your generosity this past year. We
look forward to your help and prayers for the year that lies ahead. Together let us grow in faith, spirit
and fellowship. May the babe of Christmas pour down His Blessings on our parish and on our homes
with peace reigning in our hearts. Merry Christmas!
Monsignor Magraw, Monsignor Stack,
Monsignor Mayer, Father DeMartinis and Staff

Father Mike
The Gospel today tells of the Virgin Mary, pregnant
herself, hurrying off to help her cousin Elizabeth. The
model of good stewardship, she who had given herself
to bear the Savior gave her time and love to others as
well.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
ADULT: When was it har dest for you to tr ust in
God’s plan for you as Mary did? What can help you at
such times?
CHILD: When is it har dest for you to obey a par ent
or teacher? What can help you obey with more trust?
MARRIAGE MOMENT
FAMILY PERSPECTIVE
The winter solstice brings the longest night of the year.
Warm it with candlelight. For some couples, however,
dark nights bring depression. If you are among those
who are currently struggling in your marriage, turn to
the power of prayer as one resource.
Mary was excited about her first pregnancy and rushed
to tell her cousin. Sadly children are often seen as a
liability, “another mouth to feed” or an “obstacle to my
career.” It is said “Christmas is for children.” It is more
accurate to say “Christmas is for adults to appreciate the
gift of children!”

BLESSED SACRAMENT ANNUAL FUND By now hopefully you have r eceived your copy
of the Blessed Sacrament Bulldog at home. The Advancement Committee and our staff put
together this newsletter to let our parishioners and alumni know all the great things that are
happening at Blessed Sacrament School.
The Annual Fund, which runs from July 1, 2015 till June 30, 2016 is an opportunity for us to do
additional projects beyond our operating budget to improve and enhance our school facilities and
provide educational opportunities and scholarships for families to receive a Catholic Education.
We received a grant of $7,000 from the Catholic Schools Endowment which will be used to change our internet to
seamless wireless in the school. We will now have a school wide network instead of different networks depending on
where in the building you are. We need to match that amount with money we receive from this Annual Fund now
along with e-rate money to complete this project. We faithfully appeal to our parishioners and alumni to make an end
of the year contribution to help with this project so we can give our students a leading edge in technology and better
internet reception.
