Is this your first time back to Mass in a while, or have you been coming to Blessed Sacrament for some time now, but have not yet registered with the Parish? It is not something that everyone thinks about, but it is important. We invite and encourage you to register with Blessed Sacrament. By registering with a parish, one is provided with a sense of belonging, a sense of identity. It also provides us a way to welcome you, to support YOU in times of JOY, and in times of STRUGGLE. It gives us a way to connect and communicate with you. If you are just visiting us from out of town, do you belong to a parish near your home? If not, we encourage you to do the same there. Find a parish to call home. In this world, which seems to be off its axis once again, we all need a faith community to call home, and to come home to. TO REGISTER, PLEASE CONTACT MAGGIE ENGLAND in the office: 319-233-6179, email: dbq208s2@dbqarch.org.
