Blessed Sacrament 

Catholic Church 

Since the resumption of public Mass in May and the continuing dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, the number of people participating in the Mass in person continues to be low while virtual participation through live stream remains quite high. This is also true for daily Masses. So, effective immediately, I am discontinuing the policy of cancelling daily Masses when schools are cancelled due to winter weather. I will continue to celebrate the scheduled daily Mass (except in cases of a funeral), even if school is cancelled. However, with that being said, parking lots and sidewalks may not be cleared in time for daily Mass. Please use caution, stay safe, or even stay home. Mass will still be live streamed. If out of necessity the daily Mass needs to be cancelled due to weather, we will try to publish a notice of cancellation through KWWL and KCRG TV stations.

Please help to replenish our pantry with boxed and canned foods, cleaning supplies (mainly dish and laundry soap), paper goods, and personal hygiene products. We are especially in need of, for both children & adults, 20oz shampoo and conditioner or those that are 2-in-1, men and women's deodorant, toothpaste, bath soap, body lotion. We have many cans of green beans, we could use soups. Thank you for your continued support.

Now that we have had public Mass for some time, we need more help from you to keep it going. Volunteers are needed to serve as Ushers and to run the disinfectant sprayer after Mass. Please consider gifting your time to Blessed Sacrament in one or more of these ways. Training will be provided. To help, please contact Maggie in the office (319) 233-6179.

Think about the people, organizations, and charities that are most meaningful to you. Make sure your will is written so your intentions are clearly spelled out. Make sure your loved ones also know about these intentions. We pray that you consider Blessed Sacrament in your estate planning. If you would like more information about leaving a legacy gift to Blessed Sacrament, contact Fr. Tony Kruse or the Parish Office at 319-233-6179.
