A Joy-Filled group of young people helped prepare our church for the start of Advent.
Read MoreLast Sunday, November 18th, the parish of St Benedict headed over to St Paul’s House on California to help do a little holiday decorating for the people who live there. It was such a joy to participate in such a parish wide effort. The Holy Name Society offered to purchase the tree for decorating.

When the residents came in to help it became a real party with cookies, hot chocolate and some absolutely delightful conversation…
