Dear Parents,
We are excited that masks are now optional at Blessed Sacrament. We’re hopeful that this is just the beginning of a complete return to normal. We are still working on social distancing requirements and other restrictions (like locker usage and getting back to the cafeteria), these changes will be occurring gradually for the rest of the year as DC DOH updates their guidance. Please recognize that optional means that people may choose to wear them and, if they do, then others should accept it. Masked or unmasked, that choice is respected here and we will all respect and support each other, without judgment.
Thank you…thank you…thank you!
Thank you to everyone who made the benefit such a success. It was a lovely evening and a wonderful way to support the school. The food was fantastic and the entertainment was great…thank you Maggie Rose! But the biggest thank yous go to Tracy Kline, Katie Leachman and Britt Williams for all of the hard work to organize and pull off this event. The benefit is a lot of work and the added uncertainty of Covid made it even harder. Thank you ladies!!!
We do not have the final numbers yet but we had great Raise the Paddle donations and we’re looking forward to seeing the overall total. Thank you Liz Vorrasi for stepping in to do the live auction.
We hope that everyone was able to participate in the fundraiser for Ukraine. Please remember that any baked goods purchased will be distributed at school on Tuesday.
Faithfully,
Chris Kelly

The season of Lent is traditionally a time of purification and enlightenment. We strengthen ourselves as a people through prayer, fasting and almsgiving so that we are better able to give ourselves wholly (heart, mind and soul) to the work God sets before us in the world. Whether single or married, young or elderly, a family, incorporating prayer and action on a weekly basis helps us focus on our need for continued growth as a people of faith.
Click here for weekly prayer and a Lenten action plan created by the Blessed Sacrament Faith Formation Commission.
Click here for fasting suggestions from Pope Francis.
