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?
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!
