NEXT WEEKEND IS COMMITMENT WEEKEND
If you have not had the opportunity to make your gift to the Moving Forward in Faith Capital Campaign, please do so this week or by next weekend. If you have already re-ceived your pledge card or pledge envelope and would like to make your commitment today, please place the envelope with your pledge in the collection. Please remember that every contribution is necessary since we are doing this together as a parish family.
THE GIFT YOU ARE ASKED TO CONSIDER Reaching our goal of $600,000 requires gifts of sacrifice and few can give as much in one payment as could be given over a period of 36 months. Therefore, for the success of our campaign, we are asking all parishioners to “pledge” to the best of their ability. This is the only way we can raise a large capital sum. With God’s help and your generosity, we will succeed. Your pledge also provides an accounting of how you plan to contribute and this will help the parish properly an-ticipate the amount of funds available for our project over the next three years. We ask all parishioners of St. Bene-dict’s Parish to consider the suggested gift categories and plan to budget for them accordingly, realizing that a pledge of $3,000 can be made on a sacrifice of about $20 per week over 3 years. Please Remember: in order to reach our goal we must receive many pledges and gifts at the $3,000 level or higher since a number of our families may not have the re-sources to pledge at this level. Therefore to average $3,000 we need as many gifts at $3,000 as possible or above. However, all gifts regardless of size are both needed and appreciated. Thank you!

SHARING THE G.I.F.T. OF FAITH When I was a child growing up in a small town not too far from Canandaigua, my parents gave me a gift. Not the kind wrapped up with shiny bows and brightly colored wrapping paper, but the kind of gift you can’t even see. At that time, I wasn’t even able to truly appre-ciate it. However, I’ve come to watch that gift grow and change over the course of my life. And it wasn’t until recently that I truly needed this gift—the gift
of faith. Having come out on the other side of great loss and sadness, I have a renewed sense of the importance that faith plays in our lives, and am eager to continue to grow and share it with those around me. As a for-mer educator at the elementary and high school levels, I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you as the new coordinator of faith formation at St. Benedict Parish. I am excited that together as a parish family we will be able to further our faith journey through the G.I.F.T. (Growing in Faith Together) initi-ative. As a wife to Jeff, mother to Olivia, George, Jimmy (and Thomas, in Heaven), I understand the often fre-netic pace of life. I also know how much we all need opportunities to take a time-out to reconnect with our spiritual sides and reflect on what truly matters—our family and our faith. It is my sincere hope that you will carve out one Sunday a month so that we can pray together, share a meal, and renew our sense of belonging and commu-nity with each other. For more information about the G.I.F.T. program see page 3 in the bulletin for weekly updates. I look forward to meeting those of you I don’t yet know, and having more opportunities to connect with those of you I do. Fondly,
Emily Spinelli

Question of the Week:
Attention families with school age children!!
*With the exception of Saint Mary’s School, G.I.F.T. is the only faith formation program our parish will offer
for children in grades k through 12 *The diocese requires children in grades k-5 to have
30 contact hours. We are able to accomplish this by offering 10 Sunday sessions and 5 Saturday sessions
*If your child is intending to make a sacrament this
year (First Communion or Penance) they are required to attend all 15 G.I.F.T. sessions (10 Sunday and 5
Saturday) in addition to sacramental preparation classes
*If your child intends to be confirmed, it is now a 2- year preparation process beginning no sooner than
eighth grade. The expectation is that children of that age attend all 10 Sunday G.I.F.T. sessions in addition
to several Sunday youth group sessions.
*We would love to be able to make accommodations for people in our parish who may have special needs,
dietary restrictions or may need childcare for young ones. We want to make G.I.F.T. a reality for everyone!

POPULAR PRIEST RETURNS FOR AN EVENING On Wednesday, July 27,some sixty parishioners gathered in Dougherty Hall to welcome Father Dominic Munini back for an evening. Father provided updates on our seven year Kalama Project which has pro-vided clean water to drink, education for village children and health care for the region. He described how dire the water situation has become; the river that villag-
ers used to trek to each day to bring water for their animals has now become so badly polluted by factories in Nairobi that all the fish have died and vegetation has become compromised. The students we have sponsored for high school and college continue to thrive and the clinic continues to be successful in caring for the medical needs of the community. Since that meeting, we have been blessed with a matching funds grant from parishioners who have promised to match all donations for Kalama received in the month of August up to a total of $5000. MAKE YOUR DONATIONS TO “ST. BENE-DICT PARISH—KALAMA PROJECT.” Put it in an envelope to the attention of Deacon Claude and place it in the Sunday collection. This is the time of year we prepare to pay the tuition for our four students; those bills total $18,579. Your dollars—matched until the end of August—will help us meet this need.
YOU’RE NOT SEEING DOUBLE (NOT EVEN TRIPLE...YOU’RE SEEING QUADRUPLET!
On Sunday, July 24, Deacon Claude had the privilege of Bap-tizing the Muchard quadruplets: Brian, Lillian, Owen and Mason, the children of Kathleen and Christopher Muchard. “I’ve certainly Baptized MANY chil-dren, sometimes even twins,” said Deacon Claude. “But this
