Blessed Sacrament Parish April 26, 2020

Daily Reflections and Live(streaming) Mass…... Blessed Sacrament is Live-Streaming Mass and Daily Reflections. Join us on our website at bsctlh.com. Livestreamed Masses and Reflections are recorded NOTE: the link will take you to our Facebook. A personal Facebook account is NOT required to view our FaceBook.

On Sunday, April 26th, the 10:30 AM Mass will be offered on behalf of our Religious Education / CCD teachers. At Blessed Sacrament we are so fortunate to have these dedicated, volunteer religious education teachers. These teachers are our Catholic future. By teaching our children, the future of the Catholic Church continues.

Did you know, at Blessed Sacrament… There are approximately 27 Catechists (CCD / Religious Education teachers) Over 3,200 hours are volunteered annually by the Catechists Over 140 children are enrolled in Sunday Religious Education at our Parish Children range in age from 4 years old, all the way to 14 years old The teachers hold classes for 30 Sundays, from August to May (9:15 am – 10:15 am) All classes are held in Trinity Catholic School classrooms

These Catechists are greatly committed to our children and Catholic faith. Furthermore, they are all volunteers. They do a wonderful job helping parents, who are the first teachers of our Faith, preparing their classes during the week and presenting them to the children on Sunday mornings. We are very proud of our teachers because they go beyond lesson planning and moderating discussions in class, they not only teach students our Faith, but they teach them how to have faith, with Christ as our model, teachers show students how to be moral persons with ethics and virtues. It is a special vocation, and it is not about how much he or she knows, but how open one is to the Holy Spirit’s inspirations and how able one is to let Him flow through oneself towards the children. If you are interested in becoming a Catechist or would like to enroll your child, please contact Rosie Beasley at Blessed Sacrament Catholic church at rbeasley@bsctlh.com or call the office (850) 222-1321.

Jean-Baptiste de La Salle is the patron saint of religious education teachers. He was a French priest, educational reformer, and founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. He is a saint of the Catholic Church and the patron saint for teachers of youth. He is referred to both as La Salle and as De La Salle.

Building Project Update

Due to CV-19, Blessed Sacrament has suspended the mailing of Welcome Packages to new registrants. If there is any information needed on Ministries, Sacraments, etc., please contact the office at office@bsctlh.com or (850) 222-1321.

Welcome Packages

Our building project continues to move forward. The first design workshop with Lyman Davidson Dooley architects was held last week. While we could not meet in-person we were able to conduct the meetings virtually so that we can keep on schedule. We look forward to sharing the progress with you as we plan for the future of our parish and school.

Every year during Palm Sunday we celebrate with Palm branches blessed by our

parish priests. People weave them into crosses, chains, flowers and create deco-

rative ways to display or arrange them. Others take them home and wedge

them behind their favorite wall crucifix or photo. There are many ways to

arrange our blessed palms, but what happens once they are dry and brittle?

Some people use their creations as bookmarks or other keepsakes, but what

happens to the left-over palms no one brings home from church? Or the palms

you would like to replace?

Don’t throw blessed palms away. You can bring them back to the church for

proper handling. You are always welcome to return old palms to our church and

we will handle with care. It would be helpful to bag them up and give them to

one of our sacristans the next time you are at church.

Palms are to be burned, and the ashes then used for distribution on Ash Wednesday or returned to the ground. Never should one just “throw out” what has been dedicated to God.” “Once a religious object is blessed and dedicated for divine worship or veneration, it must be treated with reverence and not be used in either an improper or profane way” (cf. Code of Canon Law, #1171)

The Church Mouse….

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

Dear Trinity Families, We have just been notified by Superinten-dent Juhas that Trinity Catholic School will follow the recommendation of Governor DeSantis and continue eLearning for the remainder of the 2019-2020 academic

school year. We know this creates questions among our families, and we want to answer them as quickly and openly as possible. Please bear with us as we work toward the best possible outcome for all of our Trinity students, parents, teachers, and staff members. Not all questions will be answered at this time, but please be assured we will do our best to answer them promptly.

*All parents who have paid for end-of-the-year field trips will be refunded any monies already paid to the school. Eighth Grade parents should have already received the refund checks for the Universal Trip.

*Eighth Grade students will attend online classes through Tuesday, May 19th. We are planning several exciting events to

celebrate our awesome graduates during the summer. More details to follow…

*All other students, including PreK3, VPK, and Kindergarteners, will attend online classes through Thursday, May 28th. More information will follow regarding the agenda for the last day of school, May 29th.

Please join us in praying for a quick resolution to the Covid-19 crisis. We miss our Trinity Knights.
