Most Blessed Sacrament strives to live out the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy by supporting the needs of our community in the sharing of our abundant blessings with various community organizations. Each week we focus on one of these organizations and provide a list of their specific needs. Rotating the weekly focus ensures that each organization receives our attention every month and they can update their changing needs.
