BLESSED SACRAMENT CATHOLIC SCHOOL
Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night is back! On Tuesday, November 1st, please join us at
Chick-Fil-A (West Ashley) on Savannah Highway. From 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., BSCS
will receive a percentage of the sales! Be sure to tell the cashier that you are
from BSCS!
BSCS has received the "Cool School" award from Ms. Olivia Mitchell from News 2. Not only did
Ms. Mitchell interview Principal Murphy, she also talked with several students and toured the
school, visiting several classes. The featured segments aired last Wednesday and Friday at their
news times.
Boosterthon had center stage at BSCS this past week with the Fun
Run on Wednesday, October 26th. At the daily "huddles" with the
Boosterthon leaders, the students have enjoyed learning about leadership skills. They also have enjoyed achieving class rewards and
participating in stunts with Brilliant Brennan and Jedi Jake! Our goal
is $20,000! By reaching that goal, Principal Murphy has agreed to be
dunked in a dunking tank! If the amount earned is $25,000, Father
Joseph has agreed to have his beard shaved! He believes that it has
been 10 years since he was clean-shaven. Wow!
BSCS was pleased to have collected and donated more than 500 food items to Our Lady of Mercy
Community Outreach Center! This saint project was organized by the fifth grade in honor of
Saint Vincent DePaul.
We hope that you are feeling more comfortable with the updated BSCS webpage. If you need
help, please contact us ([email protected], 843-766-2128).

ENVELOPES: All young people remember to hand in your envelope at each Sunday Mass. This is important especially for the two-year preparation for each sacrament. If your child (1st through 12th

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (RCIA) PROGRAM: Classes take place
on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. in the meeting room. The next class will take place on
Wednesday, November 2nd. For more information, contact Sr. Colie at 556-0801.
REASONS TO STAY UNTIL THE END OF MASS
Do you need some motivation to stay a little longer to attend the entire Mass? Do you know some other
people who might? Here are some reasons I stay until the end of Mass (besides the fact that I am a
nun and it would be scandalous if I ran out right after communion every Sunday):
1. Communion is about communing: When we receive communion, we receive Jesus himself. When we
eat and run it is like visiting a friend and the moment he is able to sit down and be present to us we
jump up and run out the door yelling, "It was so great to spend time with you, see you next week!"
Communion is about communing with our Lord and Savior. In order to commune, we have to actually
savor this special time with him and take a few moments to be with our Lord. (by Sr. Theresa Aletheia
Noble)

RESPECT LIFE
SCRIPTURE
READINGS:
The
Zaccheus story shows our Lord's
eagerness to seek out those whom
others are tempted to look down on.
Zaccheus would have been lost in the
crowd because of his small stature, had
he not climbed the tree. He was also
looked down upon because of his role as chief tax
collector. But Jesus sought him out, not only by giving
him attention but by dining at his house.
Jesus breaks down the false barriers we place between
certain kinds of people and others; he goes first to those
who are pushed aside by the crowd.
The Church, through which Jesus continues to carry out
his mission today, does the same thing, and therefore
speaks up for those pushed aside by the crowd,
especially the smallest of the small, the unborn.
Their lives, like ours, are not just the handiwork of God,
but a continuous proof of his love. The first reading
reminds us that at every moment God is sustaining each
one of us with the breath of life. We would fall back into
nothingness at once if God did not have his love focused
on us in an uninterrupted way. To snuff out a life,
therefore, whether of the born or the unborn, is a direct
contradiction to God's loving will, which sustains all
things in being.
On the other hand, we cooperate with the life-giving love
of God each time we reach out to those around us who
may be unsure about how to handle their pregnancy, and
give them the strength to love their unborn child. We do
likewise when we strengthen those who care for the
vulnerable, the disabled, and the dying. By helping one
another grow in love for the weakest in the human
family, we and they literally become more like God, for
"how could a thing remain unless you willed it, or be
preserved, had it not been called forth by you?" (First
Reading) (www.priestsforlife.org)
