Blessed Sacrament School misses not being able to host our annual Veterans Reception this year, but our veterans are in our thoughts and prayers nonetheless!
Thank you for your service and happy Veterans Day!

Governor DeWine has mandated that everyone attending religious services in Ohio’s hardest-hit COVID counties must wear a face mask.  Until further notice, we ask that you come to Mass wearing a mask.  As this government health mandate continues; our special greeters may ask if you have a mask when you enter Church.  If you do not have one or forgot your mask; we will have them available so that you can still attend Mass.
 
Please continue to do your part in maintaining social distancing to help prevent the spread of the virus during this pandemic.  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.

• Saturday Vigil Mass at 4:30 p.m.
• Sunday Mass at 8:00 a.m.
• Sunday Mass at 10:30 a.m.

• Saturdays at 3:30 p.m.
• Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m.

Below is a message from Bishop Brennan on October 22, 2020, about the Holy Father’s recent comments in the film Francesco.
"The quotes attributed to the Holy Father in the recently-released documentary film “Francesco” do not alter or realign church doctrine, but actually reaffirm the traditional definition of Marriage as a lifelong, life-giving, committed union between one man and one woman.  Consistent with prior remarks, it appears that he is addressing the matter within the framework of Church teaching:  the objective truth of the definition of Marriage, respect for the dignity of every person at all times, regardless of sexual orientation, and safeguarding the civil rights of peoples by legal authority.   It is always important to go to the Pope’s actual words in the proper context rather than relying on reports about them."
- Bishop Robert J. Brennan,  Diocese of Columbus
