WHY PARTNER WITH ST. BENEDICT?
St. Benedict Parish has a strong presence on the northside of Chicago. The parish reflects the true presence of Christ and His church in our community. Our century-old church is the foundation of our parish. Upon this foundation rest our school and an abundance of dynamic ministries. Our five commissions seek to build up our community: • The SPIRITUAL LIFE COMMISSION is comprised of all the ministries that help to plan and ensure the participation of the laity at all our gatherings for prayer and worship focusing on making our Sunday liturgy an exceptional weekly encounter with Christ and His Church. • The HUMAN CONCERNS COMMISSION represents our outreach to a wide variety of people in the Chicago area struggling to survive at the margins of our society. We minister to those among us with spiritual, physical, social and economic needs, and to those experiencing lack and loss. We are Christianity in action. Your partnership supports the work of the parish which includes: - Providing lunch for the homeless on a daily basis - Providing a monthly food collection to the Common Pantry - Thanksgiving, Christmas & Easter dinners for several hundred in the community who might otherwise be alone at the holidays - Annual Advent Food Drive which allows the St. Vincent de Paul Society to deliver baskets of food to provide a full Christmas dinner and more to 37 families • The St Benedict PARISH LIFE COMMISSION is the collection of ministries that allow us to celebrate with the community and continue to support a fun, family-friendly neighborhood. Your partnership supports: - The continued success of our three largest fundraisers-Gala 2018, BenFest, and Fun Run - Traditions of the community such as Oktoberfest and RCYA softball league - Service to the community by the Knights of Columbus, Holy Name Society, Women’s Book Club, Boys Scouts, and Girl Scouts
