The Scouts can and bottle cage at Blessed Sacrament is now closed until Spring 2022. Please do not leave cans or bottles on the ground outside where the trailer is parked. We wish to thank all of you for your generous support of our Scouts through your donation of cans and bottles. We will be back again in the Spring!

We are again partnering with Hy-Vee Food Stores to provide holiday food bags to local children over the holiday break. Many children rely on the school lunch and breakfast programs, as well as summer programs, to get their meals. Sadly, similar programs do not exist when students leave for holiday breaks. Hy-Vee, located at 2834 Ansborough Ave, and Blessed Sacrament want to help fill that gap by providing up to 600 bags or more for needy families. Help us make their holiday enjoyable and less stressful! You can support this program in two ways: (1) Send money directly to Blessed Sacrament by dropping off a check, or donating online to the "Holiday Food Bag Project"; or, (2) Go directly to the Ansborough Ave Hy-Vee, inform the cashier at checkout that you would like to purchase one or more bags for the Blessed Sacrament Holiday Food Bag Project. The cost will be billed to you at the register and bags will be delivered to Blessed Sacrament at a later date. The cost is approximately $18.00 per bag. Food bags will be collected throughout the month of December. THANK YOU!!!

We will, once again, offer poinsettias in honor of your loved one(s) at Christmas. The poinsettias purchased will decorate our altar on Christmas Eve and beyond, as the plants thrive. Poinsettias are $12.50 each. Forms are available in the Gathering Space and inside the Putz Hall entrance. Completed forms may be returned to the rectory or placed in the offertory basket by Sunday, December 19, 2021.
