Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament

An Asian-Italian Feast at Regina Health Center / Pilgrimage 2027

An Asian-Italian Feast at Regina Health Center

By Rosalie Lewis, Northeast Ohio Aggregation of the Blessed Sacrament

The NEO Aggregation visits the religious of the Blessed Sacrament (Fathers, Brothers, and Deacon Joe) every other month. The SSS local community of Highland Heights and Lyndhurst, led by the local superior, Father JK Nguyen SSS, comes each month. We provide a lunch and a chance to spend time with our dear senior religious. On October 3, 2026, our Provincial, Father John Thomas Lane, greeted the Aggregation at the door. He told us that the SSS Community from the Community House had also prepared an Asian meal to share with the SSS Community at Regina.

COME SEE SAINT EYMARD PLACES IN FRANCE:
Our tour guide for the Eymard – France Pilgrimage, every few years, requests that we have a “round-about number” of at least 25 to make it worth her while to finalize a tour due to the expense ahead of time to arrange days and times with the airlines, hotels, restaurants, and sites. To save on costs, we can share that at this time the estimated cost is $5,000 to see the Saint Eymard sites around France for 12 days.

Let our Provincial Superior, Father John Thomas Lane SSS (jtlanesss@gmail.com), know if you’re interested in this pilgrimage next year.
