BLESSED SACRAMENT CATHOLIC SCHOOL
May has been a month of sacramental celebrations for students at
Blessed Sacrament Catholic School.
The 8th grade students recently received the Sacrament of Confirmation. The 8th graders who attend St.
Joseph Catholic Church received the
Sacrament of Confirmation in May
also. Congratulations and blessings
as you show God's love by your faith
and works.
As part of their preparation to
receive their First Communion,
2nd graders took part in a retreat where they decorated
banners. It was a beautiful day
for these children and their
families when the 2nd graders
received their First Communion.
Just recently, students in all
graders (K3-8th) were part of
the May Crowning and adorned
Our Holy Mother with flowers.
Mary was crowned with a wreath of flowers as "Bring Flowers
of the Rarest" - a Marian hymn by Mary E. Walsh (circa 1981)
was sung. The new Communicants led the processing.

RESPECT LIFE
EUCHARISTIC CITIZENSHIP:
"The Eucharist . . . spurs us on our
journey through history and plants
a seed of living hope in our daily
commitment to the work before us.
Certainly the Christian vision leads
to the expectation of "new heavens" and "a new
earth" (Rev. 21:1), but this increases, rather than
lessens, our sense of responsibility for the world
today. I wish to reaffirm this forcefully at the
beginning of the new millennium, so that
Christians will feel more obliged than ever not to
neglect their duties as citizens in this world.
Theirs is the task of contributing with the light of
the Gospel to the building of a more human world,
a world fully in harmony with God's plan." Pope
John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 2003.
