Dear Blessed Sacrament Families, 

Last Friday, our 8th graders graduated. The Mass was lovely, with music directed by a parent of one of our graduates (thanks, Andy!). Following Mass and the conferral of diplomas, everyone journeyed to the gym for a brief awards ceremony.  

The gym looked festive. As the first few people went through the line to grab a cookie and drink, the lemonade container began leaking, and we ended up with about half a gallon of lemonade on the floor. No problem for this crowd! One dad snatched the leaking dispenser, pouring the remaining liquid into pitchers. Another dad found a mop and began the cleanup process. Even Fr. Reimers pitched in, moving the serving line to a different part of the gym. As all this was taking place, I was reminded that we are a family. I talk about our BSS family – this was another experience of it. Throughout the whole ordeal, I heard not one complaint. I love this family! 

As we approach field day tomorrow and our last day of school, I am filled with gratitude. Thank you for being a part of this family and for welcoming me into it, too.   

In Jesus our Eucharistic King,
