Preserve the Light of St. Benedict!

This weekend we begin our parish appeal to restore the three great south‑facing stained glass windows of St. Benedict Church. These windows, nearly 29 feet tall, have stood for generations as radiant storytellers of our faith. One of them is now in urgent need of repair, and without intervention, it could break and fall.

The total cost of the project is $174,800. To help us reach this goal, an anonymous donor has generously offered to match the first $10,000 in gifts. That means your early contribution will go twice as far!

As we enter Advent, a season of light and preparation, let us join together to ensure that the light of Christ continues to shine through these windows for generations to come.

Special envelopes will be available in the church or please be sure to notate your check “For the Church Windows”

For more details, pictures, and ways to give please visit:
