Religious Life
Religious life at Blessed Sacrament Catholic School is both academic and social.
We believe that excellence builds bright futures.
“Turn again, O Lord of Host, look down from Heaven and see and visit the vineyard; and perfect the same which thy right hand planted.” (Psalm 79:15) Monsignor Joseph G. Cassidy spoke these words as the cornerstone was laid for our Church and School in 1939. Since then, we have been committed to educating, inspiring, and supporting our students within a loving, Christ-centered community. Our students learn passionately, serve faithfully, and grow toward their highest potential.
We believe every student can discover their God-given gifts.
We believe in empowering students to fulfill their life’s purpose.
Our purpose is to create that vineyard for shaping the minds and hearts of our students so that they may be the best versions of themselves, meeting their obligation to give back to both the church and their community, to serve this world, and to prepare them for the next.
At Blessed Sacrament, students have an opportunity to grow their own personal relationship with Jesus Christ while witnessing to the Gospel through doctrine, building community, and providing service to others. The students become self-disciplined learners and realize that faith, like learning, is a life-long Journey.
All students—Catholic and non-Catholic—are welcome to experience the beauty and richness of our community. Visit our school and discover all the ways a Catholic education can provide a lifetime of rewards for a child.

Religious Programs at Blessed Sacrament
Instruction in the Catholic Faith
We provide instructions aligned with the Catholic faith at each grade level, utilizing traditional academic methods, online platforms, and engaging classroom visits by parish priests.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
In our lower school (PreK-2nd grade), we’re proud to offer Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a unique, hands-on religious education program that is a hallmark of Catholic schools in Savannah. This program is dedicated to helping students explore their faith.
Virtues Program
Monthly virtues such as responsibility and kindness are highlighted, with students participating in community service activities to bring these virtues to life. Catholic students in grades 4-8 are encouraged to participate in our Altar Servers program as a way to live their faith and participate in the life of the church.
Religious Sacraments and Services
Regular participation in Mass, including First Friday Mass and Mass on Holy Days of Obligation, is an integral part of our program, helping students strengthen their sacramental participation.
Sacramental Programs: Specialized programs in the second and eighth grades prepare students for First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation.
Family Life Series
Offered to all grades, this program teaches students about human sexuality with respect and reverence, requiring parental permission for participation.
Other Devotions
At Blessed Sacrament Catholic School, we observe several devotions throughout the year. Penance services are conducted during Advent and Lent, with students participating in the Stations of the Cross every Friday during Lent. Our annual May Procession honors Our Blessed Mother, featuring our First Communion class. Additionally, we hold an All Saints Day Mass, a Thanksgiving prayer service, an Advent Liturgical performance, and a Lenten Passion play, enriching the spiritual life at Blessed Sacrament School Savannah.
At Blessed Sacrament School, we are committed to providing a comprehensive religious education that prepares our students to be conscientious and faithful members of the community.
