Dear St. Ben’s Parish Family,
I am truly blessed and honored to serve as your Pastoral Associate & Director of Religious Education. My ministry with you here is a true gift and continually reveals to me the goodness of our loving God. I have experienced the person of Jesus Christ in the beautiful children of our parish, in the folks in the process of initiation, in our catechists, young adults, JPIC, the volunteers and patrons in our soup kitchen, and in our Eucharistic assembly.
The time has come for me to retire as a staff member, but I will continue to be an active parishioner working and worshipping with you. After nine years on the parish staff and over thirty years in catechetical and initiation ministry, I will retire on May 15, 2022.
Thank you for your friendship, support, and for the ongoing efforts, with the power of the Holy Spirit, to work toward the coming of the Kingdom of God!
Gratefully yours in Christ,
Rita Burns Senseman
