The Closing of Blessed Sacrament
Hello to all,
Little did we know last year while planning the reunion that Blessed Sacrament was barly hanging on.
When I went to the 60th Anniversary I felt that it was time for me to go back to mass. That's when I decided to go back home to a church that brought me comfort even though I live in Chesterton.
My first time was a humbleing moment. There may have been 50 people and the comment from the Priest was I wish that those that came to the Anniversary Mass would be here to fill the seats again.
April 19th 2009, 50 years to the day of ground breaking Blessed Sacrament closed it's door for the last time.
As I stood and watched the Bishop and Father Tellus say those dramatic words...
"THESE DOORS WILL BE LOCKED FOREVER AND SHALL NEVER BE OPENED AGAIN"
The silence was heart breaking.
Father Tellus put the key in the lock turned it and blessed the doors one final time.
I talked to Sister Collet before I left, her gental way always gave me a calming.
She said, Beth you did a wonderful thing by bringing your family back together, I saw the joy in everyones face and in many it brought faith back to light.
Think of the closing as a beginning of friendships that will never end and the memories that you all shared is your home.
It was great sharing that day with many and yes Chris and I agree that we should plan a picnic this summer. We'll let you know.
Keep in touch everyone so Blessed Sacrament will always live on.
Beth
