Blessed Sacrament a New Rochelle landmark
Catholics in New Rochelle know Blessed Sacrament Church as the historic downtown parish and a place where confessions are scheduled twice each day.
Everyone else in New Rochelle–at least those in the Main Street area–knows Blessed Sacrament as the church with the tower bell that peals every day at noon and 6 p.m.
“This parish is more than a landmark, it’s an institution.”
Father Matthew Delaney, pastor from 1940 to 1947, established a parish high school for boys, which the Congregation of Christian Brothers have served from the beginning. Msgr. Francis C. Shea, pastor from 1947 to 1969, acquired a large building on Beauchamp Place, which became the current high school building when renovations were completed in 1963.
Founded as Blessed Sacrament High School for boys, it became coeducational in 1985 after merging with another New Rochelle Catholic high school, St. Gabriel’s.
