Dear brothers and sisters,
The last six years have been a blessing to me. Despite all of the challenges we have gone through, we have done that together and have grown stronger as a result. St. Benilde is truly something special, and we continue to grow financially, in numbers, and most of all in our relationship with Jesus.
A couple weeks ago I received my official letter from the Archbishop renewing my term for another six years. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to continue to journey with this community. I hope to take some time this fall to get the feedback from the parish about the current direction the parish is moving.
Let us continue to lift each other up in prayers!
To Jesus through Mary,
Fr. Matthew Johnston
Join us TOMORROW (5/8) for a Night of Encounter!
Come Hear a Powerful Witness of God's Mercy as St. Benilde School Principal, Mr. Thomas Huck, shares his moving personal testimony of God's grace. Long before becoming a Catholic educator, Mr. Huck had his own Prodigal Son moment—a winding journey that included both a dramatic near-death experience AND a tragic car accident that ultimately opened his heart and led him back to the Lord.
Date: Thursday, May 8
Time: 6:15 PM – Testimony in the Church
7:00–8:00 PM – Candlelit Eucharistic Adoration with Praise & Worship Music
