St. Benedict Parishioners Notice
August 12, 2026
In April 2019, St. Benedict Parish designated potential rebates from the Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) for improvements to the front of the church. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was not completed, and the restricted funds remain unused.
The St. Benedict Parish Finance Council proposes removing the restriction on these funds so they may be used to support parish operations. If you have any questions or concerns about this proposal, please contact Dani D’Amelio at ddamelio@parishfamily14.org by August 31, 2026. Thank you for your continued support of St. Benedict Parish and its ministries.

On August 16, our Parish Family joyfully celebrated the Baptism of four children at St. Benedict Church. Congratulations to their parents and families! We warmly welcome these children into our Catholic faith and Parish Family. Please keep them and their families in your prayers as they continue their journey of faith.
Thank you to everyone who joined our ice cream social in celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! We hope you enjoyed the sweet treats, joyful fellowship, and time spent together as one Parish Family.
Nineteen children had a wonderful time at Vacation Bible School learning about Mary and her special role in our faith. Through stories, activities, songs, and prayer, they discovered some of Mary’s apparitions around the world and the messages of faith, hope, and love she shared. Special thanks to Ms. Castillo and those who helped make this faith-filled experience for our kids possible!
On August 14, our Parish Family staff gathered for a fun and relaxing happy hour at Wing Dome in Greenwood. It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know one another better, strengthen connections, and build positive working relationships as they continue serving our Parish Family together.
