Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament

Bread Broken & Shared – Spring 2025

Dear Friend,

Alleluia – Alleluia – Alleluia!

We are currently immersed in the joyous Easter Season! We extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for a season filled with grace and blessings as we rejoice in the Lord’s Resurrection. This season also marks our ongoing celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in the USA! The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, a global religious community, has been a beacon of faith in the United States for 125 years.

This issue of our newsletter, Bread Broken & Shared, highlights the opening celebration of our 125th anniversary in the USA, which took place at Saint Jean Baptiste Church in New York City, our original foundation in the United States.

We introduce you to Father Louis Dembo Ndione SSS, a native of Senegal in West Africa. He has assumed the role of parochial vicar at Saint Paschal Baylon Church in Highland Heights, Ohio. We are so happy to have Father Louis with us!

We also shine a spotlight on our Diocesan Shrine of Saint Ann, nestled at our provincial headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. We are filled with hope that many will come to visit and pray at our Shrine during this Jubilee Year. We are delighted to introduce you to Josie Rice and Diane Mungall, whose unwavering dedication and competence have been the backbone of Saint Ann’s Shrine for many years.
