“FBI” Relay Team a Success

St. Benedict Middle School students on the “FBI - Friends Being Involved” Relay for Life Team would like to say thanks to the many friends, families and parishioners who supported them in their fundraising efforts. With your help our kids collected over $1,500 for this American Cancer Society event. Our Youth Council team raised money by selling pretzels on Palm Sunday, finding sponsors for their team, and holding a Balloon Pop Raffle the day of the event. These busy kids worked to set up the event, assisted cancer survivors at their dinner on the field, and helped with the Mass under the stars. We’re proud to have these young disciples representing St. Benedict the Abbot Parish at community events!
