St. Benedict's Parish is extremely grateful for all the hard work Tom and Maureen Kerr have been doing to get our new website up and running. It was truly an amazing feat to have it ready for the rush of Christmas website searches! Many parishioners may not realize that our new website received well over 150,000 hits in just the first three weeks of December alone.

In addition, Tom wrote the $15,000 grant that the parish recently received from The Foundation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo. He shepherded us through the exhaustive grant process. This grant award will be used to "foster spiritual growth with adults, families, children, youth, young adults, and the entire community. We hope to revitalize and mobilize our parish by connecting, welcoming and engaging spiritual seekers... By more effectively utilizing digital technologies we will enhance our parish's outreach and engagement efforts." Maureen handles the substantial grant documentation as we proceed.
We will be seeing much more of Tom and Maureen's work in the weeks and months ahead. Please check the parish website often http://www.saintbenedicts.com/.
There is no doubt that their forward thinking and technological abilities will bear much fruit for the Kingdom of God. In fact, they already have! Tom and Maureen have already made St. Benedict's a leader in integrated technology in the service of evangelization.
Thank you both!
