I thank the Templeton family for sponsoring our very first Sports Night event last weekend. I am especially grateful for their personal sacrifices and countless hours they put into planning the event. I also thank all those who supported Sports Night--, the volunteers who helped with logistics, those who donated, the many  organizations and sponsors, and everyone who attended. It was a wonderful and memorable night. I am glad to share with you that we raised a total of $11,100 from the event. These funds will go toward the construction of our new Church. 

Over the next few weeks, you will be hearing about the upcoming “Cheerful Giving from the Heart” Program at St. Benedict Catholic Church. This is an effort to increase offertory and  is very important as we move forward with the mission and vision of St. Benedict Catholic Church. We, as a parish family, have changed so many lives in our community! In order to continue our mission and ministries, we encourage all parishioners to spend time in prayer and discussion with your family reflecting on the work we do. Our special Commitment Weekend will be celebrated on October 1 & 2. If you have any questions regarding the “Cheerful Giving from the Heart” Program, please feel free to contact the parish office.

This weekend, Fr. Manasseh and I will give a pulpit presentation at all Masses to thank you in a special way for your financial support for our parish community. The presentation will be more like an extension of the Annual Pastoral and Finance Report we presented last weekend. The overall goal is to thank you and to highlight how, through your generous support, we have been able to continue to maintain the daily operations of our parish. The pulpit presentation will continue on the first weekend of October (Commitment Weekend) with a Lay Witness presentation from some selected members of our parish who will share their personal testimonies about giving to the Church and the impact on the lives of the many people we serve in and around our parish community.
