Customaries for Celebrating Rites of Passage

Significant events in our lives are celebrated in the context of the Church as Sacraments. We celebrate these events seeking God's blessings and Holy Spirit in our lives and relationships. These Customaries describe how these Sacraments are celebrated in St. Benedict's Church and any necessary preparation. Contact our Priest in Charge, The Rev. (Dr.) Beth Echols for more information or to arrange for these Sacraments at St. Benedict's

Saint Benedict's Episcopal Church

Worship is like a drama: The clergy, ministers and musicians are the prompters, the people are the actors, and God is the audience.
- Søren Kierkegaard

At St Benedict we celebrate with awe and obligation in a construct called liturgy. Liturgy is a Greek word that means “the work of the people.” Our services are focused through scripture reading, song, prayers, preaching, and the liturgy of the table, known also as Holy Eucharist.
