As early as 1910, Catholic families gathered at various homes in Minneola and Father Fox traveled from Orlando to Minneola, a day's journey, to celebrate Mass in the homes of the Lynch, DyFrene and Frisz families. A temporary altar was set up in the various homes and when the service was complete, breakfast was served.

For the next several years, Wilfred and Marie Frisz remained in the Clermont area and played a major role in the development of what was to become Blessed Sacrament Church. The Frisz family purchased a small bus and provided transportation to local Catholic families who wished to travel to Eustis or Fruitland Park for Sunday Mass. Mrs. Frances Oswalt, a current parishioner, is one of the Frisz children.

Obviously a more permanent place of worship was needed and Mr. Charles Pool donated four lots on Lake Avenue in Clermont. Finally, in 1933, a mission church was constructed on this site. With the completion of a small, wooden frame church, fifty Catholic families could now have a more permanent house of worship. The first Mass was offered on Christmas Day, 1933.

The year 1961 brought great changes to the Catholic community in Clermont. Our mission church was elevated to the status of a parish and Fr. Hugh Keane was assigned as the first Pastor. The following year, Fr. Keane began a fund raising campaign to build a new church on the Twelfth Street property which had been purchased by Fr. Joseph Daly in 1956.

 In 1982, Fr. Jose Mena became Pastor of Blessed Sacrament. In the 1980s, the church community was growing rapidly, and Fr. Mena realized the eventual need for a larger church. He began putting away funds for this purpose. Fr. Mena retired in 1994, and Fr. Paige was appointed as an interim Pastor until Bishop Dorsey appointed Fr. Andrew Wawrzycki as Pastor. Fr. Andy continued planning for a new and larger church. Many improvements were made to existing church buildings, ministries, and children's education.

With the approval of the Diocesan communities and the completion of a successful fund drive, construction on the new church began in 2000. With Fr. Andy's retirement in 2001, Bishop Dorsey appointed Fr. Christopher Hoffmann as Pastor in August of that year. On December 7, 2001, Fr. Hoffmann celebrated the first Mass in the new church on the Vigil of the Immaculate Conception. The dream of thousands of people had finally been realized.

Following Fr. Chris' transfer, Fr. Mark Wegg was appointed as Pastor in November 2003, and in January 2008, Very Reverend Robert Webster was appointed as Pastor.

Through the continued support of the wonderful people of Blessed Sacrament, our Parish will continue to grow and meet the needs of the community as well as outside our Parish boundaries. Blessed Sacrament has recently begun a mission in the city of Mascotte which will not only provide liturgy services to migrant workers and many other Spanish groups, but, it will eventually become a Parish to serve the spiritual needs of all (Spanish and English speaking) residents of Mascotte and vicinity. Blessed Sacrament is in the process of renovating a building purchased by the Diocese to be transformed into the first Catholic Church in Mascotte by early fall.
