About the Restoration 
 

Founded in 1741, Most Blessed Sacrament has witnessed the birth of our nation and every struggle and triumph since. The parish is now comprised of approximately 850 families who have come together in a remarkable way to respond to the needs of our own times so that our parish’s mission can continue and remain the dwelling place of God with His people.

In 2020, Most Blessed Sacrament Church faced monumental challenges, including concerns about the structural integrity of the church’s roof and steeple, the precipitous closure of our school, and the many challenges wrought by the pandemic. Through much prayer and hard work, the parish family has rallied to renew our parish as an exceptional holy place to walk with the Lord through worship and adoration at His Holy Altar, build our community with social and charitable events, and continue our nearly three-century mission to teach our children the truths of faith and human reason.

In 2021, our parish formulated a program of restoration entitled “To Restore all things In Christ”, which aims to address both the short and long term needs of the church to support her Apostolic mission for many years to come.        

To elicit the required financial support and fund management for the parish and school, Most Blessed Sacrament has partnered with the Catholic Foundation of Eastern Pennsylvania.

The following are the projects supported by the Restoration Fund:

The Restoration of Most Blessed Sacrament Church
-Repair and Strengthening of the Church’s Roof and Steeple (completed 2022)
-Renovation of the Church’s Pipe Organ (Work to begin late 2023)
Having undergone many expansions and modifications over the years, time has taken its toll on our pipe organ. The organ will receive a comprehensive renovation.

-Restoration of the Marble Altar Rail (completed in 2022)

In the fall 2023, St. Francis Academy will be reorganized and expanded as the first Catholic Classical School in the Diocese of Allentown. St. Francis Classical Catholic Academy will offer grades pre-K- 8 and will endeavor to form children in the fullness of the Catholic faith and tradition and embrace all that is true, good, and beautiful.

-Replacement of the Roof of the School Building (completed 2022)
