Welcome to Most Blessed Sacrament Parish. Together with Incarnation Parish of Melrose, we are a collaborative serving Roman Catholics in the communities of Wakefield, Melrose and Saugus, Massachusetts. But we welcome Catholics and non-Catholics alike from all areas to explore our web site, and find out more about becoming a Catholic, getting involved and deepening your faith.
Jesus told Peter in Matthew 16:18 “And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.” But that wasn’t a promise that every church in every community would be there forever. We depend on your involvement, your financial support and your prayers for our ongoing health. We recently celebrated our 95th anniversary as a parish. Yet we have experienced challenges in the last several years, from the COVID epidemic, a flooded basement that caused an extensive shutdown and a trend of people leaving organized religions.
We are all sinners and we don't pretend to be anything else. But through the saving power of Christ, through the gift of His church, led by the Holy Spirit, we have faith that we may enjoy eternal happiness with God when we pass from this earth.
Thank you for accepting us for who we are, and helping make us better.
