Women's Club
Parish women 18 years and older are members of the Blessed Sacrament Women's Club.
Our goals consist of uniting the women of our parish through organizing and participating in religious, educational, and social activities; working with our pastor in spiritual and material undertaking for the welfare of the parish; and reaching out to the community while uniting with the common goals of the National and Diocesan Councils of Catholic Women.
Our organization is affiliated with the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW), which consists of more than 4,000 Catholic women's organizations throughout the United States. We belong to the La Crosse Deanery Council of Catholic Women that includes women from 13 additional parishes in our local geographical area and to the larger Diocesan wide Council of Catholic Women.
Watch the bulletin for announcements of Women's Club events and join us for any or all of our many activities. We welcome your input and enthusiasm.

Prayers For Those Who Have Died
As members of Blessed Sacrament Parish, we form a spiritual bond in time and into eternity.
When one of us dies, those who remain accompany her with our prayers not only at the time of their death but also throughout the years. Following are the prayers that are prayed before funerals. These can be downloaded at the button below.
”With and for all the women of Blessed Sacrament Parish who have died I unite my voice with theirs in praying for the soul of our faithful departed. We may have known her well or not at all but we prayed together as a Parish. Her life here on earth was filled with times of joy, light, sorrow, glory.
Our Lady’s Rosary gives us comfort. As the beads of the rosary are connected, so our lives are connected, with the life of ______.
Baptism unites us along with the Sacraments of Penance, Holy Eucharist, Anointing of the Sick, shared with us through the Priesthood of Jesus in our parish priest, we now unite under the mantle of Our Lady and the watchful care of Saint Joseph in praying this rosary.
Eternal Rest grant unto her. O Lord and let perpetual Light shine upon her. May her soul and all the souls of the Faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen”
