Christmas Memorial Greenery and Flowers

The beautiful poinsettias and greenery that adorn our altar and sanctuary are a special part of the celebration of Christmas at St. Benilde Catholic Church. We invite all parishioners to share in the experience through a memorial or thanksgiving gift by using the Christmas Flowers Memorial Envelopes

found in the vestibule of Church. Donations toward the cost of Christmas decorations in the Church may be made in memory or honor of your family members and friends. This is a wonderful way to remember loved ones, honor friends, and offer thanksgiving to God for prayers answered and blessings received during this past year. The suggested donation is $10 per remembrance. Please place your envelopes in the collection basket, the Poor Box or bring it to the Parish Office by December 26. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Memorial Envelopes will be placed on the altar throughout the Christmas Season and names will be published.

Eucharistic Adorers Needed For the past 10 years, we have been blessed to have Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration here at St. Benilde Parish. Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is the adoration of Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist is displayed in a special holder called a monstrance, and people come to pray and worship Jesus continually throughout the day and the night. Come to our Perpetual Adoration Chapel and spend some time with our Lord. He is waiting there to embrace you, lovingly and mercifully! If you would like to become a committed adorer, please contact George Rojas at (504) 834-5525 or visit the parish website:

Archdiocesan Silver Wedding Anniversary Celebration

Sunday, March 14, 2021 at 3:00 PM

in St. Joseph Church in New Orleans

If you will be celebrating your 25th Wedding Anniversary next year (married in the year 1996)

and wish to attend, please register with the Parish Office by Friday, January 15, 2021.

Please Note: This celebration will not be a Mass,

but a prayer service. Attendance of Mass for Sunday obligation will have to be met within one’s parish.

Prayer for Seminarians Father in heaven, we place the seminarians of the Archdiocese of New Orleans under your protection. Shepherd their hearts and guide every aspect of their formation. May they be men of strong character, dedicated to prayer, attentive to their studies, and overflowing with love for Your people. Guard their vocations and shield them from temptation, so that they may one day serve as holy priests in our archdiocese. Through the intercession of St. Louis, our patron. Amen.
