Juneteenth Celebration 6.17
Juneteenth Celebration 6.17

The second annual Juneteenth event will take place on Saturday, June 17th from 11:00am - 2:00pm in the courtyard of St. Benedict Parish (3900 N Leavitt Street). The event serves multiple interconnected goals – 1. To share and celebrate black culture with the community at large; 2. To expand the ranks of volunteers engaged in antiracism work throughout the year; 3. To deepen the commitment of already-engaged volunteers by affirming the value of their work over the past year and creating buy-in for continuing that work together; and 4. TO HAVE FUN!

Seven Churches Bus Tour on Holy Thursday
Seven Churches Bus Tour on Holy Thursday

At the end of the Holy Thursday Mass, the Eucharist is placed on a temporary “altar of repose” away from the sanctuary. It is customary for the faithful to process together to this altar and spend time in quiet prayer and adoration. In the Roman Missal, it states: “The faithful are invited to continue adoration before the Blessed Sacrament for a suitable length of time during the night, according to circumstance.”

The Seven Churches Visitation is a tradition that grew out of this time of prayer and adoration.

Find out more about how you can join on Holy Thursday, beginning at 8:30pm…

Can Your Family Host our NET Ministry Leaders?
Can Your Family Host our NET Ministry Leaders?

As our 8th graders prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in April, the parish is offering a Confirmation retreat in March for our Confirmandi. This year, we have NET ministries facilitiating this retreat.

One of the terms of the agreement with Net Ministries is that the parish is responsible for housing the missionary team. If you are willing to be a host home for the missionary leaders, please email Elaine Lindia at elindia@stbenedict.com. Having missionaries in your home is a great way to support the work of your church and offering hospitality to young people who are giving a year of life in service to the church. It also makes for interesting company in your homes!
