Vigil and Sunday Masses are Back!

Diocescan guidelines have been published to ensure safety and adherance to local laws--including the wearing of facemasks, safe distancing practices, etc--these full guidelines can be found on the Diocesan Website (link in the upper right corner of the website) and as an attachment on the BSC Communications Email. Additionally, a letter was sent out to all registered parishioners with the details of how these guidelines will be implemented by Blessed Sacrament and our mission parishes. If you did not receive a letter please make sure you are registered with the parish and that your information is up to date.
BSC Mass Schedule

Saturday Vigil Mass 5:00pm.

The 5:00pm Saturday vigil Mass will remain scheduled as usual.

Until attendance increases to the point where a second Mass would be needed to accomodate our parishioners safely, we will only have one Sunday Mass at 10:30am. A note will be placed in the Roane County News when this transition takes place. Additionally, this information will be available in the Blessed Sacrament Communication email on the parish website, and in the bulletin (currently only available on the website)
