Stewardship: A Ministry of Gratitude
Here at Blessed Sacrament, our parish is a vibrant home of faith, service, and community, made possible by the grace of God and the profound generosity of our parishioners. We are deeply grateful for every gift of time, talent, and treasure that you share.
Your financial support is more than a donation; it is an act of faith that becomes the fuel for our sacred mission. It is your partnership that allows us to:
- Celebrate beautiful and reverent liturgies.
- Form our children and adults in the Catholic faith.
- Serve our neighbors in need with compassion and charity.
- Maintain our beloved church as a sacred space for prayer and worship for generations to come.
Every gift, no matter the size, is a testament to your gratitude for God's blessings and helps us build the Body of Christ right here in our community.

The Diocesan HOPE Appeal
Each year, our parish joins with Catholics across the Diocese of Syracuse to support the HOPE Appeal. This annual campaign funds essential ministries and services that no single parish could support alone, such as vocations, Catholic Charities, and campus ministry. Your support for the HOPE Appeal is a powerful expression of our unity as a diocesan church.
Thank you for your prayerful consideration and your generous stewardship of Blessed Sacrament. We pray for all our benefactors who so graciously support our mission.
