A Fond Farewell, A Heartfelt Thank You

I write today to share with you some news. Effective February 1st, 2022, I will be leaving St. Ben’s. I will take on a new role as Director of Music Ministry at St. Clement Parish in Lincoln Park. January 23rd will be my last Sunday. I will take the final week of January to spend some time in spiritual retreat as I prepare for my new role. I have put a lot of thought and prayer into making this decision, and this is the right thing for me at this time. This was my decision, and I am grateful for the support I have received from Fr.

Thanksgiving Dinner - Help Needed!
Thanksgiving Dinner - Help Needed!

Thursday, November 25th, 11am to 1pm

Our annual community Thanksgiving Dinner is back! For decades our parish has provided a place for people to gather and share a meal, especially if they don’t have anywhere else to go. This event is made possible through countless donations of food and time by our community. Consider supporting the event by making a donation of food or by volunteering (or both).

This year the dinner will take place in the main gymnasium to allow for better ventilation and distancing.

MASKS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL GUESTS AND VOLUNTEERS.

DONATE OR VOLUNTEER
