Thank you to everyone who assisted with the reception for Fr. Charles’s 20th Anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood, as well as those who came out and assisted with grounds clean- up day. Your generosity is deeply appreciated!

Attention Teenagers of the Parish: Mark your calendar for a Youth Ministry Barbeque on Sunday, April 25th after the 10:30 Mass.

Parents will be receiving 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. We are asking all parents to attend one of two upcoming meetings to find out more information about the program: Wednesday, April 21st at 6 p.m. or Sunday, April 25th at 9:10 a.m.

The Men’s Club will be hosting a parish grounds work party on Saturday, April 24th starting at 8:00 a.m. and ending at lunch with boiled crawfish. We are inviting all parishioners (regardless of age) to come and help with a variety of cleanup activities. This will be a great opportunity to meet new friends and renew earlier acquaintances; but more importantly, it will be a time to spruce up St. Benedict’s. Please call (892-5202) or email (office@stbencov.org) the office if you plan to help so we can have a number for the crawfish.

Please bring your Rice Bowls to the Church or Parish Office. Thank you!
