St Ben's Middle School students took photographs at St John’s in downtown Indy. They were asked to photograph all things that they felt were beautiful and inspirational to share with our church family. Each student has chosen 3 of their favorites and now we ask you to pick yours. Please like your favorite on the St Benedict Church Facebook page and we will announce a winner at the Middle School Mass on November 17. You may also vote for your favorites which are on display at St Ben’s. On behalf of St Ben’s Middle School Group, we thank you and are grateful for your prayers and support.
