Most Blessed Sacrament Parish has purchased 33 acres of land for church, school, and other parish facilities. The purchase was announced to the parishioners before the Masses last Sunday by Mr. James Callison, president of the Parish Council of Men, and Mr. Robert Schorr, chairman of the Site and Architect Selection Committees.

The site is located on Stone Road in the Brentwood Section of Southwest Atlanta at the future intersection of the new circumferential highway and proposed North Camp Creek Parkway.

Construction will soon begin on a school building for kindergarten through eighth grade which will be ready for classes in September, 1965. Part of the school will also be used as a temporary church. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondolet will staff the school.

Selection of the site, negotiation for the purchase of the land, and appointment of an architect were handled by the lay people of the parish over a period of about one year through the appropriate committees of the Council of Men. The pastor, Rev. Walter J. Donovan, and Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan concurred with all these actions taken in developing Most Blessed Sacrament Parish.
