How does MBS Parish give back to the community?
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.

Oshkosh Community Back to School Fair
We need your help to provide backpacks, school supplies, and school appropriate clothing for the coming school year.
The Oshkosh Community Back to School Fair provides 1,000 low income Oshkosh and Winneconne students with backpacks and school supplies needed for them to start the school year prepared to achieve academic success. This year, due to COVID-19, the fair will be a drive-thru pick up.
nstead of having trees in the back of our churches with requested donation items, we are doing a gift card drive for this year's fair. Your support will enable students to receive gift cards to shop for a school outfit and a backpack with age-appropriate school supplies and hygiene items.
Gift card (Target, Walmart, Walgreens, etc) donations will be collected by the parish office through July 26th.
You can send or drop off at the parish office or even put in the collection basket. Please be sure to put the gift cards in an envelope marked "Back to School Fair." -
