St. Benilde Catholic Church

The Bishops of Louisiana have designated Friday, June 2, 2017, as a day of prayer and fasting for protection during the upcoming hurricane season. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us!

The Parish Office will be closed on Monday, May 29th in observance of Memorial Day. We will reopen on Tuesday, May 30th at 9:00 am.

All volunteers who have ongoing contact with minors, even one unsupervised contact with minors, and all who participate in an overnight event, must attend Sate Environment Training prior to volunteering for the first time and every three years thereafter. Safe Environment Training will be held at St. Benilde on June 1, 2017 at 2 PM. The location will be posted that day.

Summer is almost here! And with summer is our annual Summer at Benilde programs, including camps, arts, tutoring, and more. Here is a brief listing of our different offerings: Base Camp: We will continue offering our long-running summer camp program for children from 2 to 13 years. Each week we offer field trips (off campus and on campus), time at the pool, wet days, arts, crafts, and special events. Camp times run from 9 AM - 3 PM with extended day options running from 7 AM - 6 PM Monday-Friday. Your child will be engaged the entire day. A free hot lunch is provided each day by the cafeteria as part of the program. Specialty Camps: Students can “add on” to their summer experience with one of our two specialty camps offered this year: one will be in science and the other will be in art. Students keep their weekly field trips, pool time, and special events that they get during Base Camp. Then they can spend the remainder of their time with specialized activities in science and art. Registration is ongoing. Registration forms can be found on the school’s website. You may also sign up at Summer at Benilde Registration Day on Sunday May 21st from Noon - 3:00 PM!
