BLESSED SACRAMENT CHURCH PHOTO TOUR
The Blessed Sacrament Church, located in Elk, CA was built in 1896. Although the church has undergone some structural modifications, every effort is being made to maintain its historical integrity. As you will note, the inside of the church remains very traditional in appearance. Enjoy a brief pictorial tour of the church, old and new.

The Blessed Sacrament today. Note the tall tower at the back of the church no longer stands. |  |
| The bell was removed from the tower (in left facing front of church) during the 1970's. It originally came from St. Mary, Star of the Sea which stood at Cuffey's Cove, about 1 mile north of Elk. |  |
Inside the Blessed Sacrament Church. The interior looks much the same as it did decades ago. |  |
