Dear St. Benedict Parish Family,
Grace and peace! It is with deep gratitude and great joy that I begin my ministry as your new pastor. I am truly honored to serve such a vibrant and faith-filled community, rooted in a rich history of hospitality and service. From the moment I learned I would be joining you, my heart has been filled with excitement for all that God has in store for us. I look forward to walking with you in faith, celebrating the sacraments together, and growing as a parish family centered on Christ and the Eucharist. When I was first ordained, I told my pastor, "I want to work hard, love the people of God, and help them fall more in love with Jesus Christ so we can become great saints together," and this is the same promise I make to you. Please be assured of my prayers for each of you, and I humbly ask for yours as we begin this new chapter together. Let's become great saints together!
In Christ's Sacred Heart,
Fr. Ryan
