Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church Annex Building, Memphis, TN Editorial Image

When Blessed Sacrament Church was opened, some five miles from the riverfront, it was the only parish on the eastern side of the city. Since then, eleven `daughter parishes` have arisen in the territory originally assigned to Blessed Sacrament. Today the parish is about four miles north to south and three miles east to west. Roughly, it extends from Wolf River to Central and from McLean to Highland, an area of approximately twelve square miles.
