Blessed Sacrament Parish is pleased to announce the appointment of the Schoenstatt Fathers as its new administrators, effective July 1, 2024. Father Mark Niehaus will assume the role of pastor, supported by Father Cristobal Asenjo. This transition allows the continuation of the Priory building as a residence for several religious individuals, as the Schoenstatt Fathers plan to expand their presence within the Madison community. With this change in administration, Blessed Sacrament Parish will remain an independent pastorate within the Diocese of Madison.
Please see the attached press release for a brief introduction to the Schoenstatt Fathers and how we look to preserve our Dominican Heritage while embracing the Schoenstatt charism. More information and a meet-and-greet event will come in the near future.
