St. Benilde Catholic Church

Registration for our R.C.I.A. is now open. The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is a set of sessions to share with others the truths of the Catholic faith. The program is open to those who have never been baptized; baptized Christians seeking to become Catholic; and Catholics desiring a better knowledge of their faith. Weekly meetings are held on Mondays, beginning August 14, at 7:30 PM, in the Library. Please call the Parish Office for more information.

Attention High School Sophomores and any Juniors who did not register last year and are interested in receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation: Anyone who is currently a sophomore or older, and their parents, should attend an informational meeting on Sunday, August 20th at 12 noon, in the cafeteria. Registration forms may be found on the parish website and in the Parish Office. They may be returned to either the School or Parish Office. Please note, the Archdiocese of New Orleans requires two consecutive years of religious instruction before Confirmation. For more information, please contact Cecilia Wilson at 504-782-8943 or by email at cwilson@stbenilde.com.

Our St. Vincent de Paul Pantry is running low on a few specific items. We are in need of cereal, jelly, peanut butter, rice, canned tuna, canned chicken, canned fruit and powdered or non-perishable milk. We truly appreciate your generosity every time we make an appeal for food.
