Starting next weekend, November 29/30 mail bins will be placed at the entrance of the church to begin collecting your Christmas Cards for those in our community in Long Term Care, Nursing, and Rehabilitation Homes. Place as many Christmas Cards as you like… Please include the “thoughts and prayers from the Parishioners of St. Benedict Parish” in your Christmas greeting/signature. The outside of the envelope can be left blank or you may write, “Merry Christmas”. Please place your Christmas cards in the mail bins no later than Wednesday, December 10th. The Card will be distributed on Friday, December 12th and Saturday, December 13th by the Deacons.

Our Annual Angel Tree will be set up in church Saturday, November 22. Please take one or more Angels and complete the attached light green tag with your name and phone number and turn in the tag before leaving church. Team members will be available to assist you and collect your light green tag(s). Purchase one or more gifts from the wish list on the Angel and return to church by Sunday, December 7. The gift(s) should be unwrapped and placed in a gift bag with your Angel securely attached. Again, we look forward to your generous support of this Christmas tradition.

The Lunch Ministry will be collecting canned vegetables, instant mashed potatoes, easy mac and cheese, and stuffing for them to put in the Annual Holiday Baskets for Christmas. Please drop your non-perishables off at the Catechetical Center before December 15th
