A Message of Thanks for St. Benedict Parishioners

 

As we celebrate the feast of Thanksgiving, let's pause and remember the original spirit of the oldest American holiday—Gratefulness to God.  In this season of thankfulness, we at St. Benedict are especially thankful for you, and for our wonderfully unique parish community.

 

We invite you to join us as we celebrate this “spirit” at two special events this week:

The first is the annual Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service to be held 7pm on Wednesday, November 25^th, at All Saints Lutheran Church.  Pastor Moye and Msgr Chet will lead the service along with a choir composed of members from both churches.

 

Msgr Chet will also celebrate a special Thanksgiving Mass at 10 am Thursday morning at All Saints. 

 

 

Finally, let us give thanks for all the many wonderful blessings the Lord has bestowed upon each of us in life. As we express our gratitude during this season of Thanksgiving, may we also be mindful of the poor ~ especially those who live in our shadow.

 

God Bless you!

 

Prayerfully yours,

 

Msgr. Chet Moczydlowski Pastor

St. Benedict Parish
