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.

PREPARATION FOR THE HOLY MASS
On this special day, we celebrate twin milestones: Jesus’ ascension from earth to heaven and the commissioning of the disciples. Before Jesus left them, he told his disciples to preach in His name to all the nations, from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. Then His apostles saw Him lifted up and out of their sight, never to return in bodily form until the end of time. As His disciples, let us carry on the mission of the first apostles, trusting that the Holy Spirit will guide us and empower us to be witnesses to the world of Jesus’ love and forgiveness.
