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

On Friday, February 13th, we will have our first 2026 Prayer Blanket Ministry Meeting. In case you are unfamiliar with our ministry we would like to tell you a little bit about us. We accept donated material and then ministry members make quilted, knitted, and/or crocheted blankets for parishioners, family members, friends and those who are in need of our prayers. Our Spiritual Works of Mercy call us to comfort the sorrowful and pray for the living. Whether it is from illness, anxiety or other needs, we want them to know that we as a Catholic Christian community are praying for them. We pray that God’s love and peace will fill each of them in their need. It connects us as a community and as a people of God. Fr. Charles blesses the completed blankets at a Sunday Mass for distribution. Our blessed blankets are then available in the church office for distribution. We would love for anyone interested in this Ministry to join us on Friday, February 13th at 10:00am in the Catechetical Center. We also ask that you include all of our blanket recipients in your prayers.Read More
