Blood Drive
Did you know that every two seconds someone in the United States
is in need of a blood transfusion? Blood donation is of great
importance as each unit of whole blood donated can be used to
save up to three lives. (American Red Cross, 2008) Also of great
importance is organ and tissue donation. Many lives are improved
and saved through organ and tissue transplants in the United
States. By registering to be an organ and tissue donor you could
save lives right here in Tennessee. (Donate Life America, 2008)
Please see the links below
The Cathedral Parish Ministry proudly hosts regular blood drives
at the Cathedral. Please check the web page and the bulletin for
announcements regarding a date for the next blood drive and
associated sign-up.

 Blood
Pressure Screening
It has been found that nearly one in three adults in the United
States has high blood pressure. Because high blood pressure
often has little to no symptoms, many do not know they are
living with an increased blood pressure. Uncontrolled high blood
pressure can lead to and make certain diseases worse. The only
way to determine if you have high blood pressure is to have it
checked regularly. (American Heart Association, 2008)
To have your blood pressure checked and for more information
please come to the monthly blood pressure screening.
Blood pressure screening is held after each Mass on the first
Sunday of every month as well as after the anticipated Mass the
day prior to the first Sunday of the month.
