We ask you to prayerfully consider making a financial pledge to support our life together at St. Benedict’s in 2026, and our mission in the world. Our theme this year comes from our parish patron, St. Benedict. “Let them prefer nothing whatsoever to Christ,” he wrote, “and may he bring us all together to everlasting life.” Through this campaign, we hope to strengthen the ministries that serve our local community, sustain the rhythms of worship and teaching that form us spiritually, and build a future rooted in faithfulness and stability. Our needs are practical, and our vision is spiritual: to faithfully invest in this community where you and I encounter the living Jesus.

​

As we begin, I ask you to do what Benedict himself instructed his monks to do before any important decision: pray, listen, and discern. Ask God how he is inviting you to participate. Reflect on what it means to live a life of generous stability. Consider how your financial gift can be an act of prayer and love for this parish.

​

While you can make a pledge at any time using the printed pledge cards or the QR code directing you to our website, on October 26 we will celebrate Intention Sunday, and ask you to bring your pledge forward to the altar during worship. If you’ve pledged before then, you’ll have an opportunity to bring that to the altar, too.

​

I thank you for your prayerful consideration, and your faithfulness. To God be the glory, now and forever.
