Gratitude bestows reverence,
allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies,
those transcendent moments of awe that change
forever how we experience the world.
-John Milton

We would appreciate your prayerful responses to the “Envision, St. Benedict’s 2023” questions. Please respond by February 8th to give us time to collate the answers for the Annual Meeting on February 12th .
Please remember in your prayers:
– our congregation of St. Benedict’s and the coming year.
– those who are sick, suffering, fearful or in need, remembering those suffering from COVID-19 and their caregivers, doctors and nurses:
– for peace within our country, and in the world, remembering the countries of Ukraine and Iran; we pray for areas of unrest and riots, asking for wise discernment in our leaders;
– for those who have died and those who mourn;
– for the poor, the homeless, and the needy in our communities;
– the victims of violence and natural disasters;
– our Indigenous brothers and sisters, and their leaders in our diocese and country;
