Our summer camp, which hosts a 7-week day camp for grades PK3-7, is seeking energetic and accountable Camp Counselors to provide a safe and memorable experience for our campers. The Camp Counselor will be responsible for an assigned group of campers for the duration of their day. Duties include monitoring meals, overseeing transitions to and from scheduled events, and facilitating and participating in group activities. Applicants should be patient, fun-loving and confident in their ability to motivate and assist campers. The candidate will - at a minimum - be a high school graduate, be able to pass a state and federal criminal background check, and be cleared through the Office of Safe Environment for the Archdiocese of New Orleans. To apply, please complete the application form on the St Benilde School website www.stbenilde.com and return it to the school office or email it to Kmarroccoli@stbenilde.com or cwilson@stbenilde.com. For more information please contact Cecilia Wilson at (504) 833-9894.

I extend my personal congratulations to Preston and Gloria Cifreo and Connie Casente, the recipients of the 2019 Order of St. Louis IX Medallion, for their outstanding service and commitment to both St. Benilde Catholic Church and to the local Church in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. This award recognizes the lay faithful who, by their loving service to the Church in and of New Orleans, continue to spread the Good News of the Gospel to all whom they encounter. Congratulations to all of you on this most deserved honor and recognition! ~ Fr. Cooper
