Parish History: 2004 Centennial Edition
Blessed Sacrament Parish History Book
Blessed Sacrament Church 1904 to 2004, Introduction
The following is the story of the Blessed Sacrament family that took up residence in Hollywood in 1904. Our family extends over many generations and encompasses an ever-growing diversity of races and cultures. This is a story of faith in God and service to a community, and of parents attempting to pass their Catholic faith on to their children. It is the story of people struggling to come to grips with changing times in Hollywood and changing times in the Catholic Church. We are grateful to of our forbearers who have brought us through our first hundred years by their commitment, love and service. They have laid the foundation for us as we move into our next hundred years of ministry in Hollywood.
It is with deep gratitude that I thank Dr. J. Howard Cremin and his family for sponsoring this work, and for Dr. Cremin's critical eye in reviewing the copy. I also want to thank our author, Ms. Kathy Tracy, for the dedication and skill with which she has told our story. Howard and Kathy, your efforts are deeply appreciated.
It is an honor for me to be a member of this parish and school community. I am proud of our diversity, our faith, and our care for others. May God bless us all as we go forth into the future.
Rev. Michael J. Mandala, S. J.
Pastor
