Church of St. Benedict

I am asking for all members of the parish to join me in a Novena (9 days) of prayer for priests...

Happy Labor day weekend! The children will once again return to school and “Blessing of Backpacks Weekend” will be at all the Masses next weekend (September 8th/9th), but before we become discouraged that summer is gone remember there is still more beautiful summer days ahead of us...

It is the last weekend of August which seems unbelievable! The children will once again return to school and “Blessing of Schoolbags and Backpacks Weekend” will be at all the Masses September 8th and 9th (see the website or the bulletin for details)...

My Dear Parish Family: Obviously, I have returned and have been “catching up” with all the business of our parish this week. I had a great vacation! It was relaxing and filled with family and friends...

Each time I write this column I try never to be anything other than encouraging by sharing special events of the parish or to give you some Catholic teaching. I do not believe that I have ever been “political” in this column not even during election time...
