Dear Parishioners of Blessed Sacrament Church,
I hope you are safe and healthy as we enter into the 5th month of living with COVID 19. Who would believe how our lives could change so dramatically in such a short period?
I received word on Monday from Bishop Checchio that Fr. Lukasz Blicharski, who has served Blessed Sacrament Church for eight years, is being transferred to St. Joseph Parish in Bound Brook, effective September 1, 2020.
The parish has benefited from Fr. Lukasz’s priestly service. The parish wishes him continued blessings in his service to the parishioners of St. Joseph Parish in Bound Brook. In gratitude for his priestly ministry, a celebration will take place after the 4 pm Mass in the parish hall on Saturday, August 29. Please be sure to sign-up.
|
|
Bishop Checchio has assigned Msgr. Robert Medley to be the new Parochial Vicar at Blessed Sacrament Church. I am confident that our parish community will welcome Msgr. Medley in the same spirit that you have welcomed pastors and parochial vicar’s throughout Blessed Sacrament Church’s history for the past fifty years.
|
|
|
Please pray for Fr. Lukasz and Msgr. Medley, as they assume a new role of priestly service within the Diocese of Metuchen.
Blessings,
Fr. Brian J. Nolan, D.Min

As a member of the United States Coast Guard assigned to the USS Samuel Chase, Frank served as a gunner’s mate third class and crewed a Higgins boat on 15 D-Day landings. Frank was a part of the first wave, on June 6, 1944, that brought the Big Red One into Omaha Beach, and to this day still wonders how he survived.
