St. Benedict School News…
Building leadership at Saint Benedict Catholic School is exceedingly important. Due to organizations such as Peer Helpers, Student Government, Performance Choir and Mass Choir, students are asked to step up and take a leadership role. But it is even more important when students are learning to lead others in worship and prayer. Each week students in grades 3-8 are asked to conduct the various parts of Mass. In addition, they act as Alter Servers and Choir Members. This past week, because of the celebration of the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary, students from grades 4-8 lead the rest of the student body in a Rosary. This reverent ceremony was a testament to how Catholic School participation builds character. Please support us in building children of faith and rectitude by buying your ticket for the Annual Draw Down!!
