In these days of increased awareness of waste and sustainability if you are a current WeShare contributor we will be suspending the issuance of envelopes effective on or around January 1, 2025. If you would like to continue receiving envelopes, please email parishoffice@stbenedictnj.org.
Instead of using envelopes as a way to insure that your Mass attendance is recognized, you can print out WeShare giving coupons. These coupons will also be available in the Gathering Space. Complete the coupon by writing your full name, address, date, and your envelope number and place in the collection basket. See link below.
Thank you for using online giving for your support of our parish. If you need assistance in logging into you existing account or making changes to your account please email finance@sbenedictnj.org.
