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,
Fr. Charles J. Benoit, O.S.B., V.F.
Pastor

If you are grieving the loss of a spouse, child, parent, relative or friend, we are here to help YOU. GriefShare© is a program to help you navigate your loss and grief through a grief recovery support group. It is a 13-week cycle to help those grieving to discover what to expect in the days ahead and what is “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll also learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability. The fee is $25 made payable to St. Benedict Catholic Church. This fee includes your GriefShare workbook. Sister Kateri Battaglia, MSC, will facilitate the GriefShare© recovery support group. Each session is self-contained so you can join us at any week, but registration is required. To register, go to griefshare.org and click “find a group” and register. For more information, you may call Sr. Kateri at 504-453-0618 or email Sister at srkaterimsc@yahoo.com. The GriefShare© support group will meet every TUESDAY, 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm starting on January 14th in the Catechetical Center.Read More

Thanks also to the members of the Altar Society and Men’s Club who helped decorate the Church, and the Knights of Columbus who helped sponsor the books that were given out as gifts.Read More
