Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church
Up to 1921, St. Vincent De Paul in Syracuse and St. Matthew in East Syracuse served Catholics in the village of Eastwood. On September 12, 1921 Bishop Grimes appointed Father Richard J. Shanahan as the first pastor and commissioned him to begin a new parish. Fr. Shanahan desired to name the fledgling parish in honor of the Sacred Heart but he couldn’t since there was another Sacred Heart Parish in Syracuse. His desire was to dedicate the new parish to the Holy Eucharist and finally he called it the church of the Blessed Sacrament. This church is located at 3127 James St, Syracuse, NY 13206.
