The next St. Ben's family play-time and parish get-together will be Sunday, May 15 after the 10:00 mass. We will be in Beaven Hall and the Ackerman Center, which is in the building at the corner of Bell and Irving. Parents of young kids are encouraged to attend and all parishioners are welcome to stop by for a cup of coffee or juice, some donuts, a snack, and some parish fellowship. We will have toys, art tables, and some play time in the gym.

The goal of the Dad's Club group is to provide families--and parishioners in general--with some fun opportunities to get to know each other, meet up after mass, let the kids play in the gym and have some Munchkins, and provide the parish with a group of guys who can help make St. Ben's a great place to go to church. Eventually, the Dad's Club intends to expand to other service and social events. Any questions? Please contact Dennis O'Toole at dennispatrickotoole@gmail.com. (Father of Margaret, 2nd grade, Patrick, Kindergarten, and Brendan, PreK.)

Any dads who would like to meet Dennis at Beaven Hall at 9:30 am on the 15th to set up tables and chairs are more than welcome!
