Dear friends,
Via Christi Society Support Appeal.
We are thrilled to welcome our own Fr. Emmanuel Ogla and Fr. Peter Shima, Parochial Vicar at our sister parish Corpus Christi to St Benedict. Both priests have been assigned to represent the Via Christi Society to our parish this weekend. They will speak about the activities of the Via Christi Society and invite you to support and pray for the many missionary activities championed by the Religious society. The Via Christi Society is a Roman Catholic public association which aspires to become a clerical society of Apostolic life of diocesan right founded by Fr Angus Fraser in Nigeria. The members undertake the observance of the evangelical counsels in imitation of Christ and are in different parts of the world in humble fidelity to the mandate of Christ to make disciples of all nations. As you already know, Frs James Aboyi, Wilfred Yinah, Augustine Acheme, Emmanuel Ogla and myself who have all had a stint at St Benedict are members of this Society. Given the difficult times in Nigeria and the constant need for priests to be trained for the missions, Bishop Dolan has permitted the Via Christi to make appeals in some parishes including St Benedict. I would like to appeal to you to support with your prayers and treasures the good work the Via Christi is doing in our parish and in other places around the globe. Please use the Missionary Cooperation envelopes in the pews. May God bless your generous and kind support.
Anointing Mass
Tomorrow, Saturday 30th May at 11am, we shall have a mass during which those who are sick will be anointed with the oil for the sick. We invite you to join us for this mass as we pray for God’s healing mercies on those who are sick. Please remember that this mass does not fulfil our obligation to attend mass on Sunday and so I will be expecting to see all those at that mass for the sick at at least one of our scheduled weekend masses.
First Friday Adoration and Benediction.
Friday June 5 will be the first Friday of the month. As usual, we would be happy to have you join us in the Chapel for Adoration which will begin at 9am and continue till 5:45pm when we shall have Benediction with vespers. Please come spend some time with Jesus who is present in the Holy Eucharist.
Please be kind and may God Bless You.

Queridos amigos:
Campaña de apoyo a la Sociedad Via Christi.
Nos complace enormemente dar la bienvenida a nuestro propio P. Emmanuel Ogla y al P. Peter Shima, vicario parroquial de nuestra parroquia hermana Corpus Christi, a San Benito. Ambos sacerdotes han sido designados para representar a la Sociedad Via Christi en nuestra parroquia este fin de semana. Hablarán sobre las actividades de la Sociedad Via Christi y les invitarán a apoyar y orar por las numerosas actividades misioneras que promueve esta sociedad religiosa. La Sociedad Via Christi es una asociación pública católica romana que aspira a convertirse en una sociedad clerical de vida apostólica de derecho diocesano, fundada por el P. Angus Fraser en Nigeria. Sus miembros se comprometen a observar los consejos evangélicos a imitación de Cristo y se encuentran en diferentes partes del mundo, fieles con humildad al mandato de Cristo de hacer discípulos de todas las naciones. Como ya saben, los padres James Aboyi, Wilfred Yinah, Augustine Acheme, Emmanuel Ogla y yo mismo, que hemos pasado una temporada en San Benito, somos miembros de esta Sociedad. Dados los tiempos difíciles que atraviesa Nigeria y la constante necesidad de formar sacerdotes para las misiones, el obispo Dolan ha permitido a Via Christi hacer llamamientos en algunas parroquias, incluida la de San Benito. Me gustaría pedirles que apoyen con sus oraciones y sus donativos la buena labor que Via Christi está realizando en nuestra parroquia y en otros lugares del mundo. Por favor, utilicen los sobres de Cooperación Misionera que encontrarán en los bancos. Que Dios bendiga su generoso y bondadoso apoyo.
Misa de la Unción
Mañana, sábado 30 de mayo a las 11:00 h, celebraremos una misa durante la cual se unirá con el óleo de los enfermos a quienes se encuentren enfermos. Os invitamos a acompañarnos en esta misa para orar por la misericordia sanadora de Dios sobre los enfermos. Por favor, recuerden que esta misa no cumple con nuestra obligación de asistir a misa el domingo, por lo que espero ver a todos los que asistan a esta misa por los enfermos en al menos una de nuestras misas programadas para el fin de semana.
Adoración y bendición del primer viernes.
El viernes 5 de junio será el primer viernes del mes. Como de costumbre, nos encantaría que se unieran a nosotros en la capilla para la adoración, que comenzará a las 9:00 y continuará hasta las 17:45, cuando tendremos la bendición con vísperas. Por favor, vengan a pasar un rato con Jesús, que está presente en la Sagrada Eucaristía.
Por favor, sean amables y que Dios los bendiga.
