Message from the pastor
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., J.C.L.

Founded by the Catholic bishops of the United States, each organization cooperates with local diocesan communities to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ and respond to real and pressing needs on the ground.

prayer to avert storms and hurricanes
Father, all the elements of nature obey your command. Calm the storms and hurricanes that threaten us and turn our fear of your power into praise of your goodness. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen
