Additional observations Blessed Sacrament is a historic church of the Archdiocese of Seattle, founded by Dominican friars as a Newman Center for the University of Washington in 1908, making it the 5th oldest Newman Center in the U.S. The church was completed in 1925. Today, the Newman Center for the university is about a mile away, and the parish serves the local community. It is a beautiful old church with traditional altar, art and architecture, well suited for prayer.
A ray of hope and spiritual succor in a spiritually dark and impoverished city. God bless these sons of St. Dominic!
Looks like the place never left the 1950s
This comes from a hospital, where after a surgery on my leg I had a large heart attack which I have survived. In 1977. I was working in the church in Othello Washington before converting to the Catholic faith. I took the opportunity to visit Blessed Sacrament Church in Seattle, and was very impressed by the Dominicans there. They sang the divine office and conducted themselves with great reverence. The impression I gained from these Dominicans was an important factor in my entering the church. I think Cal Catholic for this thread, reminding me of the manifold, graces of God .
That’s “ thank” Cal Catholic…
