A 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,
Very Rev. Fr. Charles J. Benoit, O.S.B., V.F.

Following the Prayers of the Faithful each week, the collection begins and then all that is collected along with the bread and wine are brought forward to the altar. This is a prayer – it is an incredibly significant part of the Mass and one that calls for the full, conscious, and active participation of the assembly. This is the time when we prayerfully gather up all our gifts – our sacrifices from the week, our monetary contributions, our pains, our joys, and our thanksgivings – and we present these along with the central gifts of bread and wine. The bread and wine are central for they are what Jesus offered at the Last Supper and asked us to continue to do in memory of Him. In connecting our gifts (our very lives!) to the gifts of bread and wine which will be transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ, we, too, seek to have our lives (with our joys and pains) transformed and offered wholly to God. So each week when we come to Mass, we cannot come unprepared or empty-handed. We must bring our whole selves which we truly place on the altar of our Lord! We bring all that we are – even when that might not seem to be enough – and we trust that as the Lord joins our offering to His own, that we will be acceptable to God and transformed by his life-giving Body and Blood.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. -
