Blessed Sacrament is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama, serving Catholics in the Pearson Avenue area of southwest Birmingham, within Jefferson County. The parish takes its name and dedication from the Blessed Sacrament, the consecrated Eucharistic host and wine that Catholics believe to be the Real Presence of Jesus Christ, a central devotion and doctrine of the Catholic Church.
As a territorial rather than personal or national parish, Blessed Sacrament serves Catholic residents within its assigned geographic boundaries in the diocese. No confirmed founding date is documented in publicly available sources, though the parish has long served the surrounding neighborhood as a diocesan community under the pastoral care of secular clergy.
The parish community continues to gather for the celebration of the Sacraments, with particular devotion to the Eucharist reflected in its name and in ongoing parish life.
