This year’s theme is “Reflecting God’s Light”. We are all called to respond to the needs of our brothers and sisters both here in our parish and in the diocese. The DSA provides funding for more than 50 ministries and programs in the Piedmont and Western North Carolina. We can do it through financial contributions which support the work of the Church. The target for St. Benedict’s is $31,234.
**** Let us pray for healing to Parishioners who are sick:

****Divine Mercy Sunday is today, the Second Sunday of Easter. On this day, we reflect on God’s love for us and the whole world. We are called to respond to His love. At 2:30 p.m. we will have the Divine Mercy liturgy with adoration, Divine Mercy Chaplet, and benediction. Let us come to pray and give thanks for the gift of God’s love for us.
PREPARATION FOR THE HOLY EASTER MASS
Today on the final day of the Octave of Easter, the eight-day celebration of Jesus’ resurrection, we give praise and thanks to God’s mercy. Scripture is replete with examples of divine mercy, foremost among them Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Truly, as we hear repeated in the celebration today’s liturgy, let us recall the times in our lives when we have felt that tender mercy.
