Most Blessed Sacrament

What Most Blessed Sacrament does

Church of the Most Blessed Sacrament is a Catholic parish located at 787 Franklin Lake Road in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, operating within the Archdiocese of Newark under the ecclesiastical authority of Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin. Founded in 1961 by Archbishop Thomas A. Boland, the parish serves over 2,000 registered families across Bergen County, offering weekly Masses (including Sunday services in English at 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM, and 12:00 PM plus weekday and Saturday liturgies), the seven Catholic sacraments, and a full faith formation pipeline that spans Children's CCD (Grades 1-8), a two-year Confirmation program for high school students, and the RCIA process for adult converts. Reverend John R. Job has served as Pastor since July 1, 2018, with Most Reverend John W. Flesey continuing as Pastor Emeritus.

The parish's operational footprint is anchored by an integrated campus that co-locates the church, the Parish Center, and the Academy of the Most Blessed Sacrament (a parochial elementary school at 785 Franklin Lake Road). Technology infrastructure is built on the third-party eCatholic website platform, which supports livestreamed Sunday Mass, an online bulletin, podcast distribution of Bishop Flesey's weekly homilies, and integrated electronic giving through ParishGiving.org, PayPal, and GoFundMe. Auxiliary social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) extend community reach for homebound parishioners and virtual worshippers. Community outreach is delivered through structured partnerships with Bergen Family Promise, Mercy House Food Pantry in Newark, Harrison House in Paramus, and a multi-agency Giving Tree program supporting vulnerable populations.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from parishioner contributions: weekly Sunday offerings, recurring electronic tithing, special event fundraising (e.g., the $100 Night Raffle dinner, parish picnic), and capital campaign inflows such as the MBS Rebuilds fund supporting the restoration of the church following fire damage. The parish is a nonprofit religious organization with no separate corporate entity, no public financial disclosures, no venture or private equity ownership, and no commercial pricing model — spiritual services and sacraments are provided without charge. Governance flows from the Archdiocese of Newark, and the parish participates in archdiocesan-wide programs including the 2026 Annual Appeal.
