A few clarifications about how things will be at Blessed Sacrament for the time being:

·Even though Masses are not open to the public, please know that we are offering Mass each day for the announced intentions and that we are specifically praying for you at each Mass.

·Blessed Sacrament will be open daily for private prayer and devotion from 7am to 7pm. Please maintain social distancing of six feet from others in church. 

·For now, our parish office is closed.

·PLEASE DO NOT ENTER ANY OF OUR BUILDINGS IF YOU FEEL ILL.  This is a matter of love for one another.  

·Public Stations of the Cross are cancelled, but you can always pray them on your own.  

·We do not have information now as to how current restrictions will affect Confirmation, First Holy Communion, Holy Week and Easter.  We will share information as it becomes available.

·We prefer to postpone infant / child baptisms right now. When that is not possible, only a very limited number of immediate family members will be permitted to attend.

·In the event of the death of a loved one, for the time being it would be best to have the burial now and plan a memorial Mass for the future.  When this is not possible, attendance at the funeral will be limited to immediate family (of everything I’m listing here, this is the most heartbreaking).

·Your priests are available if you need to talk, either by phone or in person.

·If someone is dying, please call the parish immediately so a priest can administer the sacraments. 

·Please continue to support your parish by mailing in your offering envelopes or by enrolling in We Share.  To enroll visit https://blessedsacramentnyc.churchgiving.com and click on "Make a Donation".You will then be given the choice of making a recurring  or a one-time donation.

·We are always grateful for your generosity and support of the parish.

God bless you all!  Be safe!
