Blessed Sacrament Academy

Celebrating 100 Years. Building the Next 100.

For 100 years, Blessed Sacrament Academy has been a place where children and families have found hope, opportunity, and a community that believes in their future.

What began in 1926 has grown into a mission that continues to transform lives every single day. Through our Child Development Center, we provide high quality early childhood education for hundreds of children each year, many from families facing financial hardship. We create a safe place where children are nourished, encouraged, and given the foundation they need to succeed in school and in life.

For the parents we serve, Blessed Sacrament Academy is more than a childcare center. It is peace of mind. It is the opportunity to pursue an education, build a career, and create a better future for their families, knowing their children are safe, loved, and learning.

As we celebrate our Centennial, we aren’t simply honoring the past. We are investing in the next 100 years.

Your generosity helps provide nutritious meals, classroom materials, educational resources, safe learning environments, outdoor play spaces, and the everyday support that allows our children to thrive. Every gift helps ensure that future generations of San Antonio families continue to receive the same compassion, care, and opportunity that have defined Blessed Sacrament Academy for a century.

This milestone year is filled with special celebrations, including our Centennial Lotería, our biggest Lotería event ever. By moving to a larger venue and expanding this beloved tradition, we’re inviting even more of our community to celebrate a century of impact while helping us build an even brighter future.

Today, through The Big Give, you can become part of this historic chapter.

Whether you’ve been part of the Blessed Sacrament Academy family for years or you’re discovering our mission for the first time, your support makes a lasting difference. Every donation, large or small, helps us continue serving children and families with the same compassion, respect, and excellence that have guided us for the past 100 years.

Together, we’re celebrating the past 100 years and building the next.

Thank you for believing in our children, our families, and the future of Blessed Sacrament Academy.
