Blessed Sacrament was born in 1965 to serve the growing southeast part of Amarillo. It became the seventh Catholic parish in Amarillo at that time. When Bishop DeFalco announced that a new pairsh was to be built, he placed Father James Comiskey and fellow workers to perform door to door census to determine how many Catholics were in this area. However, the parish was off and running before the building was complete. Bishop DeFalco formerly established the parish on January 3, 1965 but mass had to be offered at Oakdale Elementry School where the parish rented 9 classrooms from the Amarillo School Board for Sunday classes. Construction began on June 15, 1965. The building was built to accomodate 325 persons to worship, it was designed as a multi-pourpuse bilding to contain 9 Sunday school classrooms, a meeting room, Kitchen and restrooms. The church was dedicated on Sunday December 5,1965.
