Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Parish on its One Hundredth 3

has encouraged countless individuals to pursue lives of worship, 13
service, learning, and Christian fellowship; and 14
WHEREAS, This auspicious occasion offers the members of Most 15
Blessed Sacrament Catholic Parish the opportunity to share their 16
memories and to reflect on the benefits of life in their close-knit 17
community. Indeed, the parishioners have expanded on the traditions of 18
the past to ensure a benevolent and prosperous future, and they can be 19
proud of the remarkable examples they have set through their values 20
and principles; and 21
WHEREAS, The members of Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Parish 22
have stood strong in the face of numerous challenges, and they have 23
had a positive impact on the lives of their fellow citizens. This 24
important milestone represents their dedication and commitment to 25
keeping their faith alive in the Toledo community, and all those 26
