Blessed Sacrament celebrating 100 years Sunday

BRIDGEPORT — Between 1860 and 1930, scores of Roman Catholic churches and cathedrals went up in the city, and many, like Saints Cyril and Methodius, St. Patrick’s, St. Augustine’s and St. Michael the Archangel, are strikingly beautiful. The Church of the Blessed Sacrament, with its simple lines, isn’t one of them. It began as a basement church and the hope was that this basement would someday become the foundation of a striking Gothic or Romanesque church, perhaps something like the long-shuttered St. John Nepomucene that still graces Brooks Street on the East Side. “Yes, the thinking at first was to build a traditional Gothic church here, with a tile roof,” said its pastor, The Rev. Skip Karcinski.
