The Respect Life Committee is hosting their Annual Parish Family Baby Shower at all Masses the weekend of January 28-29.
All gifts benefit Pregnancy Help, an agency of the Archdiocesan Pro-Life Office which provides support to women in crisis pregnancies.
Gifts should be new and unwrapped. Some needed items are diapers and wipes, onezies, baby outfits, crib sheets and blankets, pacifiers and bottles. Thank you for your most generous support.

During a joint meeting of the Parish Pastoral Councils from Blessed Sacrament and Our Lady of Sorrows, an interest in adult service projects emerged . To help us with planning, we are seeking parishioner input for such a program.

We are hoping to learn about interest in projects that would bring groups of adults or families together to perform service on a one-time or ongoing basis. We have developed a 10 question on-line survey to gather your input as we consider how to move forward with this idea. The results will be shared in the bulletin and e-newsletters.

Along with the parishioners at Our Lady of Sorrows (Sharon) we will host our third annual Lenten Mission led by liturgical songwriter Dan Shutte. For 40 years as a singer, storyteller, and author, Shutte has provided Catholics with memorable songs at Mass – such as, “Here I am Lord,” “City of God,” “Sing A New Song,” and “Table of Plenty.”

The theme will be “Walking the Sacred Path,” inspired by Dan’s most recent book of the same name. His talks will focus on two of  the exercises of St. Ignatius, “Hope in God” and “Living the Spirit,” which will be presented along with reflections, storytelling, and singing together! Schutte presentations carry the heartfelt message of God’s abiding love for each of us.

Make this Lent count by marking your calendars for the evenings of March 4 at 7:30 at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Diamond Street, Walpole; and March 5 at 7:30 at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, Cottage Street, Sharon. The experience will be unforgettable.

The preliminary trial discovery phase has finally been closed with Fr. Mike's court appearance December 5. The case has been moved to Dedham, where it will be tried if it goes to court.  The next date in Dedham is Feb. 9th, when a trial date will be set. When and if it goes to court, the accuser will be required to appear in court which he has not yet had to do. Fr. Mike is still working for a complete dismissal of all charges.

Please continue to pray for Fr. Mike and a just resolution.

Blessed Sacrament School will hold their annual Open House on Sunday, January 29, at 10:15 AM.

Families are invited to attend a special 9:00 Mass kicking off Catholic Schools Week at Blessed Sacrament Church before coming to the Open House. The event will provide prospective families with an opportunity to meet with administrators, teachers, parents, and students, and to participate in a guided student tour of school facilities. BSS, which serves students in Pre-K through Grade 8, is well known as one of the finest Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Boston. The Pre-Kindergarten program is currently full for 2012, but openings are anticipated at all other grade levels for the 2012 academic year. We invite you to consider the long-term value of a Catholic education for your children, and hope that you will visit our Open House to see what the BSS community has to offer your family. For more information, please visit our website at school.blessedsacrament.org or contact our principal, Mr. James Spillman, at jspillman@blessedsacrament.org or 508-668-2336.

Established in 1966, Blessed Sacrament School provides a truly Catholic education to children in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade Eight, on a "foundation of faith and knowledge."
