ABOUT US





OUR HISTORY



Blessed Sacrament School opened on September 5, 1960. Msgr. George Gloeckner was pastor of the church and school from its inception until he passed away in 1979. Blessed Sacrament began as a primary school with only grades kindergarten through third grade. Later, the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh grades were added. The seventh grade was discontinued after five years. In 1960, the Ursuline Sisters assumed the administration of the school. A year later, the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament Sisters from Corpus Christi, Texas took over the administration of the school. In 1975, the school came under the direction of the Salesian Sisters, who operated the school for three years when a lay director was hired. In 1992, the Incarnate Word Sisters were asked to return under pastor Msgr. Lucian Braseley. The school returned to the direction of lay personnel however, in 1997 it again became administered by Incarnate Word Sister with two Ursuline Sisters as teachers. Currently Pastor Administrator is Father Wojciech Przystasz. His guidance and the church's financial support continue to assist the school in meeting its mission of providing a faith-based academic program. The administration of the school is under lay personnel home to 320 students.





PHILOSOPHY



Blessed Sacrament School provides its students with opportunities for growth in the following aspects of human development. Its focus is on the individual person's spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, cultural, and physical development. In the Catholic School, students and teachers are drawn to proclaim the Gospel message to unite in worship, to respond to the needs of the community through fellowship and social justice, and to serve all people through the sharing of their spiritual gifts and temporal goods. The truly successful Catholic School student is not necessarily one who is successful in every endeavor, but one who accepts Christian responsibility for fulfillment of personal potential and shares these gifts with others.
