Just a reminder that during the month of August we will be accepting donations on behalf of the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Mercy, who were unable to travel to make their mission appeal this month. In spite of that the sisters are still hoping for our support. The Daughters of Mary, Mother of Mercy are a congregation based in east Africa and engaged in schools and pastoral ministry. The effects of the pandemic have made life there even harder than usual. If you would like to support the sisters in their work, you can do so by dropping your contribution by the parish office or by sending it in by postal mail. Please write Daughters of Mary Mission Appeal in the memo line so that we will know how to direct it.

GREAT NEWS!  The results to the request (as of last Monday, July 27)  of an anonymous parishioner   couple to match up to $10,000 has exceed our expectations!  Due to the generosity of parishioners and friends of St. Ben’s parish, we have received $20,975 in donations.  This totals $30,975!!!  These donations collected to MATCH the offer helps make up some of the revenue gap in our 2021 budget due to the cancellation of our Community Festival this summer due to COVID-19 health concerns.

or a long time now our practice at St. Benedict has been to support mission congregations through the archdiocesan Mission Cooperative Program which sends representatives to parishes each summer to make an appeal on behalf of their congregation.  This summer we were to    welcome the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Mercy on the weekend of August 1st and 2nd. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, no one from the sisters, who are stationed in East Africa, is able to come to make the appeal.
