Ushering In a New Year of Ministry & Service at Saint Benedict's
One of the first people to greet you as you enter Saint Benedict's is often an usher - that invaluable person who quietly and effectively finds an open seat in a seemingly full Church of people, allowing us to join in the Mass without disturbing others, and providing us with a welcome sigh of relief.
The main duty of the usher is to assist and serve the Priest at Mass. Each week, those who are on duty select the offertory bearers, take up the church collection and help guide the congregational activities. They are also instructed and prepared to assist in any emergencies that may arise during the Mass. Normally, a minimum of four people can adequately service the Church for a weekend Mass; however, a six-person team is preferred to cover any absences.

I like to be part of the challenge that we all have from the gospels: to convert. As John the Baptist says, “To make straight the path.” There’s always an opportunity to straighten out the crooked path.Moved by Faith
GARDEN PROJECT
MOVES FORWARD
Our Generations of the Faith and First Communicant families have agreed to lead the project to "reinstate the garden" behind the Catholic Charities building.
We invite all of you to be a part of it! Please come on Saturday, May 19th starting at 9:30 am (pray for sunshine!) and we will work together to restore the gardens!
We plan a cookout at noon and we invite you to please join us and bring a dish to pass. Please RSVP to the Rectory by phone or email with your attendance and the number in your family who will be attending.
