THANK YOU!!! We would like to thank the Knights of Columbus for their donation of an Ice Machine in our Parish Hall. This is available to all Parishioners and others who rent the hall and

to our various ministries that utilize the hall for their teaching

purposes. It is a much appreciated convenience for all of us. But we

do want to remind all of you to

please never turn off the machine

or change any settings and PLEASE do not leave the door

opened. These items have already occurred and could have caused substantial harm to the

machine. This is an added bonus to renting or using the hall. Let’s

remember to take care of it and the hall as if it were our own. Thank

you again to the Knights of Columbus for their generosity.

Church Support

Donation Boxes We still have quite a few church

support boxes at the rectory. If

you happen to be looking for yours

come by the office and we will

give it to you.

Flowers at the Altar The beautiful flowers at the

Altar have

been donated

in memory

of Father John

Wagner.

End of Year Donation Letters

The donation letters for 2018

were mailed on Wednesday,

January 30th. We only send statements to parishioners that

have donated $200 and above.

If you don’t receive your

statement and feel you should have, please call us and we will

get it to you. If you feel there is

an error on your statement call us or come by and we can take

care of that for you as well.

Thank You!!

Message from

Archbishop Gustavo To all members of Blessed Sacrament

Parish: We have recently made a

report to the members of the Catholic Church in the

Archdiocese of San Antonio of clergy sexual abuse of minors from 1940 through the present. The following priests who have been accused of sexual abuse

in the Archdiocese of San Antonio were assigned to

minister in your parish:

Francis Sales Strobel was assigned in your parish

between 1945 and 1952, and in 1954. He died in 1969.

Hubert Janak was assigned in your parish between 1970 and

1985. He died in 1994.

The full report can be found on our webpage at archsa.org.

I share this information with you with the hope that any

members of our community affected by sexual abuse will feel encouraged to seek all needed pastoral support or counseling as part of their

healing process. If we can be of assistance to you, or if you

have questions or concerns in regard to these priests, please

contact Mr. Steve Martinez, Director of the Office of Victim

Assistance and Safe Environment at 210-734-7786

or 877-700-1888. I pledge my commitment to

continue working to make every Catholic Church, school and

institution a safe harbor for all of our children. Please join me

in prayer as we reach out to any and all who may be victims

of sexual abuse.

Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller, M.Sp.S.

Prayer of the People God of endless love,

ever caring, ever strong,

always present, always just: You gave your only Son

to save us by the blood of his cross.

Gentle Jesus, shepherd of peace, join to your own suffering

the pain of all who have been hurt in body, mind, and spirit by those who betrayed the trust placed in

them. Hear our cries as we agonize over the harm done to our brothers and sisters. Breathe wisdom into

our prayers, soothe restless hearts with hope, steady shaken spirits with

faith: Show us the way to justice and wholeness, enlightened by truth

and enfolded in your mercy.

Holy Spirit, comforter of hearts, heal your people’s wounds

and transform our brokenness.

Grant us courage and wisdom, humility and grace, so that we may act with justice and find peace in

you. We ask this through Christ, our

Lord. Amen.

AN ONGOING MISSION In his hometown synagogue, Jesus’ neighbors are amazed by his words.

Nevertheless, they remind each other, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”

Surely the people know who he is.

The carpenter’s son! The young man who had learned in this very synagogue! The boy down the

street! Conflict arises as Jesus begins to define himself in a new

way. When he compares himself to the ancient prophets Elijah and Elisha the tensions grow. The

tensions multiply when Jesus begins to tell of a new mission for God’s

people: the good news of the

scriptures is intended for all. In his famous passage from the First Letter

to the Corinthians, St. Paul reminds us of the eternal nature of love. Love does not come to an end. In today’s

readings, we are reminded that, like love, Jesus’ mission cannot be

contained. Jesus slips through the

crowd of persecutors and moves on to new challenges. We are called to this same perseverance in the name

of love.
