A message from Father Charles
May 15, 2021
Dear Friends,
This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ. If you have decided not to attend Mass in person this weekend, I encourage you to spend some time with the Lord and your brothers and sisters at St. Benedict's by praying with the recording of the 5:30 p.m. Vigil Mass, which will be posted this evening, and can be found here on our website or on our Youtube channel here.
I am forever grateful for those who have continued to support St. Benedict's during this unprecedented time of COVID-19. If you are looking for a way to financially support the parish, please mail your contribution to St. Benedict's (20370 Smith Road, Covington, LA 70435), drop it in the lock box outside the parish office, or utilize our online giving platform by visiting https://giving.parishsoft.com/app/giving/stbencov.
Sincerely yours in Christ,

Some people have inquired about offertory envelopes for this year. If you would like to start using offertory envelopes or did not pick up your envelopes in January or February, please call (985-892-5202) or email (office@stbencov.org) the office to arrange for your envelopes to be placed in the back of the church. Offertory envelopes are a safe and private way for you to tithe and support St. Benedict Catholic Church and our apostolic mission. It also enables us to give you proper credit for your contributions for IRS tax statements and other purposes. The safest and most secure way to make contributions to St. Benedict’s, however, is to use our online giving, which can be accessed at: https://giving.parishsoft.com/app/giving/stbencovRead More

All parishioners received a letter explaining some exciting changes to our Religious Education Program here at St. Benedict’s. Next year we will be having Family Faith Formation (Family Catechesis) in place of our PSR. So instead of class once a week, it is class ONCE A MONTH FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. (It will be a one-hour long class.) The program is designed to go back to the basics in a way that is accessible for everyone in a family, giving the parents the tools they need to grow their family faith. If any family was unable to attend one of the two meetings we had to explain the program and register for next year, please contact Corina Montreuil for more information and to register your family. She can be reached in the office (985-892-5202) or via email (psr@stbencov.org). All families are asked to turn in their registration forms if you have not already done so.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. -
