Masses to RESUME May 30-31

We are hard at work to ensure a safe return to Mass, beginning May 30-31. 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.
