Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church is a Catholic church in the Glebe neighbourhood of Ottawa, Canada. The parish was founded on March 25, 1913 with the first building being a simple chapel. When current building opened in 1932 its plain design and lack of ornamentation arose local controversy because it seemed more Protestant than Catholic, however the building later won plaudits for its modern design. Designed by M.J. Morton it is considered an example of the Perpendicular Gothic style. As with Ottawa's other old churches declining church attendance has caused problems for the church in recent years. For several years it served as home to Ottawa's Hungarian Catholic community, though they left in 1997. The church's parish retains its original form. It covers the area north and west of the Rideau Canal, south of the Queensway and east of Booth Street.
