Stewardship 2023
Please remember to make your tithe each week. It is important to pay all the bills. This parish supports much work with area residents who are in great financial need. We also do much to educate ourselves in the Faith and to have uplifting Liturgical Celebrations on the weekends.
Thus, do two things. For those of you who are newer here let me inform you in short of Stewardship. Besides your time and talent a tithe to the parish is six percent of your income. Please calculate what you are tithing. Together we all must carry the load. As pastor I also tithe.
Many thanks to the core membership of the parish who have faithfully made tithes all these years. Keep up the good work!
The second thing to do is reach out to people who are searching for God. You, being one of God’s people have great influence. Truly! Encourage them to join you. They will be saved, and the parish will grow too.
Peace be with you all!!

Also, take a look at the form. Make sure your form specifically states Blessed Sacrament Parish at the top! We must be sure our parish is credited with your pledge. We need the credit for the parish.
Regardless of you making a pledge or not and regardless of you making a just pledge our parish is responsible for the entire goal. The goal amount will have to be paid from our tithes if it is not paid from our pledges to the ABCD.

Stewardship Recognition, 2023
Parish Members - Djaniane Garcia, Molly Fuentes, Jesse Nafarrate
This year we have selected three young adult members of the parish who serve in the sanctuary during the Liturgy. Each has always been prepared for his or her role and is responsible for attendance and performance. Djaniane Garcia is Reader of the Word. She, and her brothers have remained faithful to the practice of the Faith under the good guidance of their parents. Molly Fuentes has grown up before our eyes being an alter server. She is now a young woman who just graduated college and is the pride of her parents. With all humility Molly continues in the role of server and now organizes the worship space too. Jesse Nafarrate also began as a little boy server. He has become a young man in the role under the guidance of his grandmother. Jesse serves as the lead server to train others in the role. He also is responsible for the major Holy Days as well.
Community Member Recognition
Chris Fischer
In some years a person from outside the parish, a member of the community, is selected. The person has shown good ethical work in the community that has often been linked to the parish’s mission.
Chris Fischer is a real estate agent now. Prior to this Chris was the side-line reporter for NFL games on CBS. (That’s why his face is so familiar.) With his community experience he is now the President of our Neighborhood Association. He became introduced to our parish through our Cherry Creek Park. This year Chris has led the association in advocacy for our continued partnership with the City of Oakland Park in running the park. His media experience has obviously taught him how to be an effective spokesperson and organizer. With the Grace of God, Chris will grow in the role of ethical leadership in the civic realm. (As a result of his advocacy for the parish and park he celebrates the Liturgy with us, keeping holy the Lord’s Day.)
Wills and Trusts
One day a man said his children come first when it comes to the money and property he will leave behind. He said this meaning he was not planning to leave anything to the parish and Church that he admitted nurtured and served him all his life. He said this after saying how happy he has been with his home parish.
Folks, this parish is one of your children! It ought to be included in your will too. It must continue beyond any of our lives to nurture and serve all those coming next. The current pastor and many others who are members today might themselves be dead before you. Leaving some support to the parish when you die is helping ensure it is here to serve always and a testament to your own faith.
Blessed Sacrament Parish is very much helped through a Trust a former member left for it to use now. Think about it.
The parish office may be helpful in giving direction as to how to remember Blessed Sacrament Parish in your will.
