Saint Benjamin
329-424
Feast day: March 31
Patronage: Preachers, Evangelists
Saint Benjamin was a deacon and martyr in Persia. He was imprisoned a year for his faith (because of the indiscretion of a Christian Bishop who destroyed the pagan Temple of Fire, which started a 40-year persecution of Christians). He was released on the condition that he would not preach the Gospel, which he couldn’t comply with. Once again St. Benjamin was jailed and tortured horribly. He died from the use of a knotted stake.

We had another wonderful evening of Family of Faith tonight. We reflected on our Lenten journey- how we did at prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Jacob offered to the group that while he did good at his goal of praying with Mom nightly, his downfall with what he gave up was the fried bologna at Paddy Joe's- he had been trying to give up fried food. Several of us had those Lenten slip ups and accidentally ate meat on Fridays. We also learned that some people didn't think chicken was meat which led to interesting discussions on what you can/ cannot eat on Fridays.

Then, we walked through Holy Week and talked about what we knew: entry into Jerusalem, Last Supper, Crucifixion, etc. We also speculated what happened between Palm Sunday and Holy Thursday. Our youngest attendee, Riley, wondered if Jesus spent time riding a camel in Jerusalem.

Harli learned that the Palm Sunday passion reading is REALLY long. She has a plan to write Pope Francis to tell him it should be shorter. Don't worry- she'll send him 'get well' wishes as well.

We prayed for the health of Pope Francis who is currently in the hospital.

Family of Faith is a wonderful chance for our parish families to get together, learn, and support each other. Our prayer is that all families with children in K-8th (not in Catholic school) will partake in this program. Registration for the 2023-2024 school year will be announced soon.

What a great youth night! Josh is a prolific creator of board games. He was given 15 minutes to demo his latest game: Kube Klash. Deacon Leon was in the office so he stopped down to say hello. We spent time going around the room and sharing the things we value, like, and respect about one another. We also did some planning because the teens want to plan and lead some retreats for the younger kids this summer. ... See MoreSee Less
