BLAZE is a Walking with Purpose ministry for teen/tween girls that counteracts
the way our society drives girls to question their identity,
worth and beauty. Through BLAZE, we emphasize how a girl’s identity is rooted
in Christ as God’s chosen, beloved daughter.
An antidote to bullying, feeling anxious, and body-image issues, BLAZE
replaces lies with truth and strengthens girls from the inside out through
the use of Scripture-based programs.
20 fun weekly lessons that girls will truly enjoy.
Each week, participants are led through an ice breaker activity and a short lesson based on a lie found in the world and a truth found in Scripture.
The girls leave with a small takeaway gift which corresponds with the lesson.
As the girls are introduced to the Bible in relevant and fresh ways, they will hear Jesus telling them how loved and beautiful they are!

The St. Benedict Columbarium and Memorial Garden is a sacred resting place on holy ground for cremated human remains with the same dignity of a cemetery. A place for our loved ones to rest until our Lord comes again, a place at home in our beloved community and Church. Our columbarium offers a very peaceful place for you to come and pray and ask God to intercede for your loved one.
The parish columbarium offers these benefits:
Perpetual Care
The Code of Canon Law requires the Catholic Church to perpetually maintain its places of burial. Hence, care will always be assured.
Security
Proximity on well-lighted Church grounds assures optimum security.
Convenience
With your final resting place only a few feet away from the Church, your family and friends attending Mass will be able to visit the columbarium which is a brief walk away.
Serenity
Our columbarium design fits perfectly into existing space, offering a serene, peaceful environment for meditation and quiet reflection.
The outdoor columbarium altar can be used for
· Memorial Service for All Souls Day
· Services for Urn Placement in Niche
· Veterans Day Memorial Services
Cost includes engraved face, perpetual care fund and all other costs associated with the columbarium.
Reservation deposits
Currently, we are working on getting the costs from the general contractor to finish our phase 2 plan.
Once we get those costs on our spreadsheet, we will submit to the Archdiocese and ask approval to start building the niche foundations and moving some drains.
That also will trigger the ok to start building contracts with those who want to purchase niches. We already have over 50 interested people on the backup list. Although we are not taking reservation deposits at this time, we plan on adding 176 new niches so if you are interested, please ask Renee at the front desk for a reservation form. Thanks for your interest in this project.
