Stations of the Cross Prayer Walk
The Prayer Walk has been in development for a few years. Bishop Paul Sirba dedicated the Prayer Walk and blessed each station on August 7, 2010. We also celebrated the 60th anniversary of our parish (August 6) and the dedication with our annual parish picnic.
Please come pray the stations on the path in the woods outside of St. Benedict's Church. It is a peaceful place to spend time in prayer.
Parishioners pray the Stations of the Cross as a group Fridays at 7:00pm. All are welcome!

The Strong Right Arm
The Knights of Columbus are the "strong right arm" of the parish priest, helping with projects around the parish. The K of C was founded by Father Michael J. McGivney in 1882 at St. Mary's Church in New Haven, CT as an organization committed to Unity as a Catholic lay organization, Charity to those in need, and Fraternity with fellow brother Knights.
To be a KC you must be a male, at least 18 years old, and a practicing Catholic. There are more than 1.7 million members throughout the world. It is through these five key areas of service that the Knights of Columbus truly makes a difference.
1. Faith
2. Community
3. Family
4. Youth
5. Fellowship
We meet the first Thursday of the month September through June and have a family picnic in July. Our dues are $30 per year and a one time $10 initiation fee.
To get more information, contact the Parish office and tell them you want info about the KC's. A member of the St. Ben's Council #8337 will call you. Visit the K of C website.

To Raise Money For Our Works of Charity
The KC's have two pancake breakfasts each year and a fish fry during lent. The K of C also have a Tootsie Roll give away to raise money for the Special Olympics and other local organizations.
Other funds raised by the Knights are used for the following:
-- donating rosaries to the First Communion class
-- donating bibles to the third grade religious ed class
-- supporting a seminarian and the Bishops Seminarian fund
-- donating to the youth for their mission trip
-- treating the altar servers to a night of pizza and bowling
-- holding a soccer competition for all kids 10-14 years old
-- holding a "baby shower" each year to help the Lake Superior Life Care Center
To get more information, contact the parish office and tell them you want info about the KC's. A member of the St. Ben's Council will call you.
