St Benedict’s Church

Altar Servers Needed. We at St Benedict’s are striving to bring you a standard of Liturgy that is worthy of the Mysteries we are celebrating. We can only do this, however, if we have enough people to assist us. We are extremely short of ministers to serve at the altar. So, to the young men who read this, we earnestly encourage you, if you feel you may be called to serve in this way, to contact Steven or Andrew. You do not need to have any experience as full training will be given. Contact Steven on 92251850, stevenM@ag.nsw.gov.au or Andrew on 0418-626036, camaldoli@optusnet.com.au.

The new web site for St Benedict’s has been switched over today. It features a new design, new software on the back end making it all work, and a new powerful server.

If you find any problems please let us know (see the contacts page for contact details). I’ve already received suggestions on making the heading more colourful and to change the image on the home page – this will be actioned soon.

This is the new web site for St Benedict’s Church, Broadway. All of the pages are the same as the previous web site.
