This parish has been preparing with great intensity to celebrate our 50th
anniversary during 2010. Our members, both those who have been around for some
time and those who have just recently become a part of Most Blessed Sacrament,
embrace the spiritual gifts which emphasizes that something wonderful is
happening and also with the sense of expectant waiting for something more is yet
to come. Both of these experiences are true and real.
50 years ago a group of Catholics began a journey together to build a
community where they could worship God and grow as Christians. They only hoped
that these experiences would come to fruition within a year or two as they broke
ground for a building to meet in together. No one thought about what life might
be for this parish community in 20 or 30 or 50 years. Many things have changes
in these 50 years – and there are some things that will always remain the same.
50 years later a new group of Catholics continue to build a community where we
can worship God and grow as Christians. New faces occupy the pews but the same
faith drives our hearts and minds.
Over the next few months the Catholic Church of Most Blessed Sacrament will
be a buzz with many different activities and programs, celebrations and
observances. Past members will return to visit and new people will become new
members of this community. All together we continue to thank our Lord and Savior
for the courage to take another step in making this parish a place where we
emphasize that something wonderful is happening and continue to have a sense of
expectant waiting for something more that is yet to come. 2010 is the year we
celebrate our 50th anniversary of become a parish, and we hope that
50 years from now what we do now will help those who stand in our history.
Sincerely yours in Christ Jesus,
