I would like to take this opportunity to Thank everyone who made this Fish Fry season a great success - especially my kitchen staff, the people on the serving line, the cashiers, bartenders, dessert servers, set up people, clean up helpers, school students, floaters and the GHS ROTC.

In the past, Blessed Sacrament Congregation has honored the many veterans serving our beloved country by saluting individuals with a nameplate affixed to Memorial Plaques located in the rear vestibule of the church. Each nameplate is inscribed with the name and rank of the veteran and the branch of the military in which he or she served. It has been decided that a special prayer section will be added to the bulletin once a month requesting everyone to remember the men and women currently serving in all branches of the military by saying an extra prayer keeping them in mind. Perhaps you have a spouse, son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, nephew, niece or special person you would like to have remembered in prayer. If you would like to have an individual named and mentioned in an upcoming military section of the bulletin, please contact Barbara Piotrowski (414) 545-4732 with the name, rank and branch of service, or for additional information.
