Blessed Sacrament Chapel Access Change | Cambio de acceso a la Capilla del Santísimo Sacramento

The bridge to the Blessed Sacrament Chapel entrance has served the faithful of this parish for many years.  However, the weather and ice and snow removal products have taken their toll on the wood deck boards and the fasteners of the bridge.  Starting November 1st, 2023, the bridge will receive a facelift with new synthetic deck boards made from recycled plastic products.  During this time, the entrance to the Blessed Sacrament Chappel will be closed, but the Maple street entrance to the church will be open to allow access to the chapel
