Pastor’s Note (for October 3, 2021 bulletin): We continue to experience many challenges related to the Covid-19 pandemic. I have grown deeply sympathetic to all of you brave souls who are enduring this with such love and patience for one another. I’m proud of you and in deep debt to you and your many considerations and support as we journey this together.
To be very straightforward, I have to tell you all that I receive many suggestions advocating for a mask requirement or the exact opposite. I have been told that we have lost parishioners both because we are recommending masking and because we have not required it. At this time, I can only say that masking remains strongly preferred at St. Benedict Parish. This course of action is reasonable and justified by the Centers for Disease Control’s recommendation as we are in a high transmission area. It is also consistent with the Church’s principle that the Sacraments cannot be denied. If we are given further requirements by the State or local authorities or by the Diocese of Rochester, we will adjust this policy as directed. We, at this time, are following the language of the CDC’s advisement adding only that we are preferring masks, but not requiring them.
stewardship at st. benedict parish

Stewardship is about giving back. It is about receiving the gifts God has given us and sharing them with Him and with those around us. Stewardship is a way of life -a way that is dedicated to the giving of ourselves by offering God things that are most dear to us in our lives: our time, our talent, and our treasure.
