Our Lady of Guadalupe Play & Celebration will be held
Sunday, December 14th during the 11:00 AM Spanish Mass

Join us for a beautiful celebration in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe. During the 11:00 AM Spanish Mass, a special procession and play will bring this cherished tradition to life, delighting all who take part. All are warmly invited to come and share in this joyful celebration.

Blessed Sacrament will host Pasterka — the traditional Polish “Shepherds’ Mass” — on Wednesday, December 24th at 4:00 PM.

Pasterka is the beloved midnight Mass celebrated on Christmas Eve in Poland, honoring the biblical shepherds who received the angel’s announcement of Christ’s birth. It serves as the culmination of the traditional Polish Christmas Eve, which includes a family dinner, the exchange of gifts, and carol singing. Although Pasterka is traditionally held at midnight, some parishes offer earlier celebrations to better accommodate families with children. Before COVID, neighboring parishes took turns hosting the Mass, and Blessed Sacrament is once again part of that rotation. All are warmly invited to join us for this beautiful Christmas tradition.
