Help get the plants in!

We have been taking advantage of the nice weather and making some great progress in the garden! This Saturday, June 16th, we are getting a large load of topsoil in along with some plants. We would love to have your help in getting the plants in and spreading the topsoil.

Families are more than welcome! Please bring garden gloves, a wheelbarrow (if you have one!), shovel--we'll have the coffee and some snacks! Gardening will start at 8:00 AM this Saturday and we will plan 2-3 hours.

We hope to get this ready before the Parish Race and Party....

Hope you can join us in this worthwhile project!

St. Benedict Annual Golf Outing

St. Benedict Annual Golf Outing

The annual Parish Golf Outing is scheduled for Friday August 3rd 2012 at Grover Cleveland Golf Course. The event will again be a shot gun start at 1:00 pm with registration and lunch beginning at 11:30am. Get your registration forms in on time.

As is the past, our tournament is open to men, women and mixed foursomes. We have been able to hold our price at $75 per person, $300 per foursome and $350 for a foursome with a hole sponsorship.

Individual hole sponsorships are $75 and entitle the sponsor to a tee sign and program listing. Dinner only is $25.

The tournament features lunch, golf with cart, complimentary beverage, and dinner by Charlie the Butcher back at the school. We have a Split Club, Auction, contests on the course, and awards.

All proceeds from the golf outing are used for the Athletics Program at the school. Last year’s event raised over $4000 and the last six years over $20,000. From this event we have been able to purchase new uniforms, new gym floor, new backboards, team / gym equipment and fund additional team tournaments.

We thank you and look forward to your support and participation in making this year’s tournament the best one yet. Mark your calendar for a fun day of golf or join us for dinner. Golf registration and sponsorship forms are attached. Please call us with any questions or for more information.

THANKS

Garden Cleanup THURS 6-8pm

THAT'S THIS THURSDAY (7 June) from 6 to 8 pm!

Garden Project - please help!

Parish Garden Project

The circle of weeds and young trees in the center of the garden behind the Catholic Charities Building once held a statue of Mary and flowers.

We hope to make this a beautiful place once again for our parish to work, pray and play together.

We are moving forward with "reinstating the garden" project
and we invite all of you to be a part of it!

Please join us this Saturday,

May 19th starting at 9:30 am.

We asked you to pray for a nice day... and it worked!
They say it will be beautiful...
I guess we should have asked you to pray for world peace :)


We will work together to restore the gardens for a few hours and then we will party.

Please bring our own garden gloves, sun screen, and garden tools.

We will plan a cookout at noon and we invite you to please join us and bring a dish to pass.

Please RSVP Matt Smith via email your attendance and the number in your family who will be attending. Msmith@saintbenedicts.com.

We will be preparing the land to grow vegetables for the poor. See the link below for more details.
