Friday Mass at St. Benedict
For the safety of our students and community during our weekly Friday School Mass, we kindly ask parents to allow students to exit the church before greeting with hugs, conversations, or photos.
Allowing these interactions inside the church has created safety concerns, including blocked aisles and delays in students exiting, which violate the fire code. It also disrupts the expectation that students remain respectful and silent while still inside the church.
We absolutely understand how proud and excited you are to see your children, and truly appreciate that love and enthusiasm. However, we must prioritize both the safety of our students and the spiritual environment of our school. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
