is held at 8:00 pm Sunday - Thursday. Sign up here to receive the daily Zoom link.

Our new rector, The Rev. Jenna Strizak, would like to begin to get to know the people of St. Benedict's. She would like you to send her an email at jenna@mysaintb.org to introduce yourself, and if you have a picture to include that would be even better. She would like to hear how you participate at St. Benedict's and what you love about your church. The caveat is that she is still actively involved at Holy Trinity through Christmas so don't expect a lengthy response from her.

We have had an unprecedented number of our Path to Shine and St. Jude's families request help for their children this year. Over 100 children's wishes were placed on our virtual tree. The response from St. Benedict's and the community has been amazing and we are now down the final few tags if you would like to help spread joy. 

If you would like to take a tag and shop for items for a child, use the Angel Tree sign-up button below. Gifts must be dropped off at St. Jude's, 220 Windy Hill Rd., this Saturday or Sunday between 9-12.

If you can donate a gift card or money for a gift card, please use the Gift Card Sign-up button below. Please remember to add a comment to indicate if you are mailing money to the church, or dropping off a gift card at St. B’s or at St. Jude’s.

Secondly, this Saturday or Sunday we need 10 people (wearing masks) to receive the gifts, sort, and pass them out to families as they come to pick up on Sunday. We will be in the Parish Hall of St. Jude’s Episcopal at 220 Windy Hill Rd. Slots are from 9-12 on Saturday/Sunday and another slot from 1-3 on Sunday for gift pickup. Click the volunteer button below.

Thank you,

Sandy Meyer and Christie Stevens
