BLESSED SACRAMENT CATHOLIC CHURCH
HARRISONBURG, VA
PARISH LIFE
CCW still has several of our Prayer Ministry booklets
available.
Do you know anyone who is homebound or ill and cannot
get to church regularly? Do you carry Communion to shut
ins? Do you have a student away at college or in the military? Do you have a son or daughter who has moved away
from the community and can no longer worship with us?
Our prayer ministry booklets were made with all of these in
mind as a way of letting them know that they are missed
and that we can all pray together even when circumstances keep us apart. Some of them are available at the ushers
table, or you can get them from the office during the week.
They are available in English and Spanish.
KEEP THOSE PLASTIC GROCERY BAGS COMING! We
go through LOTS AND LOTS of grocery bags and we will
take as many clean, dry plastic grocery bags as you can
give us. Please note that we can’t take paper bags as the
glue attracts pests. We also are looking for STYROFOAM
egg cartons. We cannot use the cardboard ones.
We also welcome donations of non-perishable foods, personal hygiene products, cleaning products, and diapers.
Especially welcome are monetary donations. $1 at the
Blue Ridge Area Food Bank goes many times further than
the same $1 at a retail grocery store.
HAITI TWIN PARISH MINISTRY
Thanks to all for your help. We couldn’t do it without you!
HAITI SPONSOR'S RECEPTION on JUNE 5TH 11:15 am
-12:15 pm
All sponsors and interested parishioners are invited to attend a Sponsors’ Reception in the lower level of the main
church on Sunday, June 5th following the 10 am Mass. The
Haiti Ministry is looking forward to presenting an update on
our twin parish and sponsorship activities. We will also be
available to answer any questions regarding this special
twin parish relationship. Light refreshments will be provided to thank all of our sponsors and parishioners who have
played such a vital role in providing spiritual, educational
and life essential support to Fr. Dieudonné and the parish
of St. Isidore. Please plan on coming and bring a friend.
COUNCIL OF CATHOLIC WOMEN
On June 6th the Council of Catholic Women will be holding
our end-of-the-year potluck. Spouses and families are welcome. It will be at 6pm in the church basement. Please
bring a dish to share as we celebrate our accomplishments
and welcome in a new slate of officers.
WILL YOU CONSIDER BEING A HAITI SPONSOR?
Thank you for the wonderful response that we recently received allowing us to continue three active student sponsorships. For those parishioners who continue to be interested, we are need of replacement sponsors for one 9th
grade student ($25/mo), one food sponsorship for a single
individual ($30/mo.) and one family food sponsorship ($50/
mo.) All of these persons are already in our sponsorship
program, but are in need of new sponsors. Each has been
personally identified by Fr. Dieudonné as persons needing
special assistance. Food sponsors provide a monthly food
stipend which is individually distributed by Fr. Dieudonné at
the rectory. Ideally, sponsorships are maintained through a
recurring donation through the BSCC website, although
you also can pay monthly or annually through the first Sunday Haiti collection or by mail. To get more information or
sign up, contact Pam Mason at [email protected] or
540-578-1364. Thank you.
CHANGE IN HOSPITAL POLICY AT SENTERA RMH:
Due to new software and privacy regulations, we will no
longer be allowed to receive the names of Catholic patients at the hospital. If you or a loved one is going to
the hospital and you want communion or anointing of
the sick, you or a family member must call the office
and inform us. If it’s an after hours emergency, you can
call 540-615-5176. Otherwise, call 540-434-4341, and
leave a message at extension 109.
In order for Eucharistic Ministers to the sick and shut in
to be able to know who to visit, we will be allowed to
call the chaplain’s office every Friday afternoon for a
verbal list. We cannot receive this list in email or written form, only oral. If there are Catholic patients, Martha will email the EM’s to the sick and shut in and/or
inform the priests as necessary. However, this is just
once a week and we can’t depend on this to inform us
of any Catholic patients at the hospital throughout the
week, so please call us or have someone call for you.
