Church of St. Benedict

Next weekend we celebrate World Mission Sunday -along with all Catholic parishes we pray and support the men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving the Church in various countries throughout the world...

We have been slowly but steadily replacing the electric candles around the Church with new wax candles...

Next Saturday, October 6th at 12 Noon, the annual “Blessing of the Animals” will take place on the front steps of our Church. Bring all your “friends” to receive a blessing as we invoke the in- tercession of St. Francis of Assisi for all our so very much loved pets...

Please take some time to watch this brief message from Cardinal Dolan...

Obviously, Cardinal Dolan and I are on the same page although we did not talk with each other prior to my suggesting last week to begin a nine day Novena and the Cardinal announcing a nine day Novena in the Catholic New York...
