The St. Benedict Parish Mission will take place on Thursday, March 12 and Friday, March 13, 2026. On Thursday, Mass will be celebrated at 5:30pm, followed by a presentation at 6:30pm, and confessions and dinner in the Parish Center at 7:30pm. On Friday, the Mission will begin at 6:00pm with Stations of the Cross, followed by a talk at 6:45pm, and a soup supper at 7:45pm. Our presenter will be Rev. Jack Peterson, YA. Fr. Jack is a priest with the Youth Apostles Institute, a mixed Public Association of the Faithful made of priests, consecrated brothers, and laymen committed to helping young people encounter Jesus Christ. Fr. Jack’s talk is titled “The Encounter That Transforms,” focusing on how our personal encounter with Jesus leads us to the desire to share him with other people. We encourage everyone to attend both nights!
In order to plan for the appropriate amount of food, please sign up for this event no later than Sunday, March 8.
We are also seeking volunteers to provide soup and bread for Friday, March 13.
