Bishop O'Connell's Church Reopening Announcement

The Bishop is extending permission for in-church Masses to be celebrated beginning on Monday, June 8. There are many restrictions in place regarding how many people can attend each Mass and on the requirement for attending, receiving Communion, etc. 

St. Benedict Church is open for Mass beginning Monday, June 8th.

• UPDATED MASS SCHEDULE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 31 - NOVEMBER 1: 
  • Daily Mass Monday-Friday 9am in Church
  • Saturday Mass 5pm in Church 
  • Sunday Mass 8am in Church 
  • Sunday Mass 9:30am in Church
  • Sunday Mass 11am in Church (and Gym as needed for overflow)

• The Saturday 9am Daily Mass continues to be temporarily suspended.

Important Note:
The Bishop has continued the dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation during this phase of opening. We will also continue our live-streaming of the Sunday 8am Mass for those who cannot attend.

Please be aware of the following updates:

1. Parishioners over the age of 70 are encouraged to attend the 5pm Vigil Mass in the Gym on the weekend. Over 70 are also welcome to attend Mass during the week. 
2. We are no longer taking seating reservations for the weekend Masses (Saturday 5pm Masses in Church and Gym, and Sunday 8am and 11am Masses in Church). If this changes, we will post the ticket links. Ticketing is free and available through the parish website. 
3. Daily Mass allowance is now 100 persons, we are no longer taking reservations in light of this increase.
4. Mass in the Gym is limited to an estimated 75 individuals. We will admit only single individuals or at most a couple there; Mass in the church is the preference for families sitting together with some singles and couples scattered about.
5. Parking for weekend Masses is in the front lot only and entrance and egress are through the main church doors only. For daily Mass, entrance and egress are through the door to the Hall of Saints (#6) only.
6. Absolutely no admittance without a mask, and the mask must be worn throughout the Mass except for the priest and deacon.
7. No ministers including altar servers, lectors, or EM’s are being used at this time. All ministry at all Masses is done by the priest, the deacon, and the acolyte.

Confessions are available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings following the 9:00 a.m. Mass in the plaza in front of the church at the tent. Please wear a mask and be careful to keep a safe distance from other parishioners and the priest. In case of rain there will be no Confession that day.

Seat reservations are FREE of charge, we are using this ticketing platform to comply with the directives from the state and the Diocese.
