As we all know, many businesses have closed for a while which has resulted in layoffs or reduced hours for many of you. With this in mind, we want to – as gently as possible – be mindful of God’s call to be good stewards of our blessings.

With no public Mass, we also have no collection being taken. We are grateful to those parishioners who have mailed their tithes to the parish office or utilized our online-giving option. If you haven’t already, please consider visiting the link below and registering for online giving.

.

You may also text “$” to 765-433-2010 and follow the link to sign up for a one time gift or recurring giving.

Church of the Blessed Sacrament will have ongoing ministries during the coronavirus precautions these next few weeks, including Livestream, Music Ministry, Business Office, Facilities, and Faith Formation personnel sending resources to their ministry participants.

We still need financial support!

The extent of how the parish will rebound quickly after this virus passes will be contingent on financial support during this time. 

We are grateful for your generous gifts as we trust in the Lord's goodness and provision. Please know that your parish will continue to use prudence when using your gifts to run the parish and its ministries, including the important outreach during this time.

• All elderly (as defined by the health department as 60+ years of age) volunteers and those with compromised immune systems should stay home.
• Stay home when sick. The recommended time frame is to stay home until fever free for at least 24 hours.
