God's Children Are Not for Sale
Men's Group and Respect Life Ministry are excited to host a church movie night on Friday, August 11th at 7:00pm in Shea Hall at St. Julian Eymard Church showing Sound of Freedom! Sound of Freedom—based on the incredible true story of Tim Ballard (founder of Operation Underground Railroad)—shines a light on even the darkest of places. After rescuing a young boy from ruthless child traffickers, a federal agent learns the boy’s sister is still captive and decides to embark on a dangerous mission to save her. With time running out, he quits his job and journeys deep into the Colombian jungle, putting his life on the line to free her from a fate worse than death. Follow this link to purchase tickets for this event. Tickets cost $12.55 including processing fees. Come see this important movie with fellow parishioners!

Is God Calling YOU?
“Lighten your burden by letting them bear it with you!” (Exodus 18:22)
Have you ever found yourself thinking, "Fr. Dan should do this," or wondering, "Why isn't our parish doing that"? If so, we invite you to prayerfully consider joining the Parish Council. Not merely a "yes" body or "rubber stamp" for Fr. Dan's ideas, this important body plays an essential role in shaping the path of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Parish. Parish Council acts as a bridge between parishioners and pastoral leadership.
Nominations are due to the parish office by September 1, 2023. To discover more about the position and nomination/selection process, follow this link to download the flyer and application.

Your donation may directed to bridge one, or more, of these gaps: The Opportunity Gap (Tuition Assistance), The Digital Divide (Infrastructure & Technology) or Safety & Security.
To make a donation to the Annual Fund and become a bridge builder:
We are grateful for your partnership and commitment to our shared vision. May God bless you abundantly for your support!
