Masses & Liturgies
Students at St. Benedict at Auburndale have the enriching opportunity to attend Mass twice a month, fostering a deep sense of faith and community. One of these Masses takes place in our beautiful campus Chapel alongside their Theology classmates, creating an intimate setting for reflection and worship. The other Mass is celebrated as a school community in the Gym, bringing students together for a vibrant and communal expression of faith.
The Prayer of St. Benedict
Gracious and Holy Father, grant us the intellect to understand you, reason to discern you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, a spirit to know you, and a heart to meditate upon you. May our ears hear you; may our eyes behold you, and may our tongues proclaim you. Give us grace that our way of life may be pleasing to you, that we may have the patience to wait for you and the perseverance to look for you. Grant us a perfect end-your holy presence, a blessed resurrection and life everlasting. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
