Sisters and brothers,
May the Lord give you peace!
In the name of the Franciscan Friars of Columbus,
Georgia, we welcome you to the faith--community
of St. Benedict the Moor! We are part of a strong
Catholic--Christian presence in the city that brings
together four Church--families: namely, Holy Family,
St. Anne, Our Lady of Lourdes, and St. Benedict the
Moor.
If you are looking for a Church with a small family
atmosphere, you are in the right place....where here
everybody knows your name.
Come and celebrate the Eucharist with us one Sunday morning at 10:30 A.M. and enjoy the blend of Gospel and
spirituals, along with praise and worship music, as
we gather to give God the glory and the praise.
As you may have heard it said, by the great
western theologian, St. Augustine of Hippo:
"
Singing is praying twice!"
Part of our presence in the Wynnton neighborhood
is to welcome our neighbors by sharing with them
our
OUTREACH MINISTRY. In these days of the
pandemic, we are presently offering
Free Food Distribution on Thursday morning at 9:30 A.M. As we partnership with "Feeding the Valley" our
team of volunteers helps prepare the food for
distribution alongside the Church on 2930 Thomas
Street. The menu changes weekly, as we have
been blessed with healthy summer produce from
fresh fruits as blueberries, rasberrries, blackberries,
apples, watermellon to tomatoes, peppers, cheese,
and a chicken tenders, whole chickens....and more.
As our programs re--open during these weeks and
months of COVID-19, we ask you to join us by being
willing to practice social distancing, wearing a mask,
and washing your hands often. We pray for a cure
and an end to this virus afflicting our world, but we
are committed to making a difference by reverencing
and respecting the human dignity of each person who
comes to St. Benedict the Moor. May we always see
Christ Jesus in the sisters and the brothers!
from the Church-Family of St. Benedict the Moor
