Parish History
Est. 1911
Bishop John J. Nilan established Blessed Sacrament parish in the western part of Waterbury on May 7, 1911, appointing Father Terence B. Smith as first pastor. Initially, Mass was offered at nearby St. Patrick Hall on East Main Street. Shortly thereafter, the cornerstone of a new church was blessed by Bishop Nilan in September. The new Robbins Street church, on a site selected by Bishop Nilan himself, was dedicated on November 30, 1911. Father John F. Kenney built a parish school on Robbinwood Road, dedicated on April 24, 1956, and staffed by the Sisters of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis. The congregation pledged to renovate their church, but with a generous outpouring of support, a new church was built instead and dedicated on January 11, 1981 by Archbishop John F. Whealon.
