Message from Father Charles
Welcome to Saint Benedict Catholic Church! I am delighted that you have stopped by our website to find out more about our parish.
At St. Benedict’s we know that we are all individual parts of the mystical Body of Christ. The real beauty of our church is our parishioners. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches: “When his visible presence was taken from them, Jesus did not leave his disciples orphans. He promised to remain with them until the end of time; he sent them his Spirit. As a result communion with Jesus has become, in a way, more intense: ‘By communicating his Spirit, Christ mystically constitutes as his body those brothers of his who are called together from every nation.’”
This is precisely manifested in the parish setting where we receive the Body and Blood of Christ, listen to the Word of God proclaimed, find forgiveness of our sins in Reconciliation, communal support, and ways to give life to our faith. The parish church is a living, breathing entity because in it God interacts with His people. We invite and encourage you to join us as we pray, work, and play together: we hope that this will be your experience of St. Benedict’s and that you will find warmth and hospitality here in a spiritually and emotionally nourishing environment.
We are all on a journey in life seeking to walk with Christ, and I invite you to come along and walk with us on the journey. Our parish is proud to offer many opportunities for parishioners to come together in faith. If there is anything we can do to help you in your journey to grow closer to God, please do not hesitate to contact us.
May you always experience God’s endless love and boundless blessings!
Sincerely yours in Christ,

One of our parishioners, Vincent Graziano, who is a senior at Nicholls State University and helping coordinate the outreach of the Catholic Student Center, has requested help from our parishioners. The majority of students at NSU in Thibodaux are from areas deeply affected by Hurricane Ida, having not only their family homes devastated, but also in some cases having their dorms devastated due to wind and water damage. Many students have lost all of their belongings. The Catholic Student Center is establishing a “pantry” for students to choose items that they need: clothes (new), personal hygiene products, school supplies (pens, pencils, notebooks, binders, paper) and non- perishable food items. Please bring donations to the Catechetical Center by nd Wednesday 22 . If you have any please email gandggraz@bellsouth.net and put “Colonel Catholics” in the subject line.Read More

Prayer for Medical ProfessionalsLord Jesus,
you came into the world to heal our infirmities
and to endure our sufferings.
You went about healing all
and bringing comfort to those in pain and need.
We come before you now in this time of this pandemic
asking that you sustain health care workers
and medical professionals
that they may have strength in body,
courage in spirit,
steadfastness in moments of exhaustion or pain,
and hope in the midst of desolation.
Uphold them, we pray,
and restore those already afflicted with the Coronavirus
by the grace of your healing and deliverance,
so that united more closely to your family, the Church,
we all may give praise and honor to your name.
Amen. -
