Supper & Substance

St. Benilde parish invites all married couples to join us for our Fall Supper and Substance--a social event designed to connect and enrich married couples. The evening will include a delicious meal, dessert, wine & beer, fellowship, and an encouraging witness from our speaker couple Eric and Nicole Cedor.

Eric and Nicole Cedor
Cedor's met during a time when Nicole was a full time youth minister and Eric was the worship leader at their parish.  They have now been married for 15 years and are raising 3 beautiful little girls.  They reside in Covington, Eric's hometown.  They are parishioners between St. Peter's in Covington and Annunciation Catholic Church in Bogalusa where he leads music for Mass on the weekends.  He is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and she is blessed to be able to stay home with the girls.  They are regular speakers at Willwoods Marriage Retreats and love to promote the beauty of the Sacrament of Marriage.  They are on their 9th year of homeschooling and the older 2 girls attend a hybrid program to help support their education.  Their youngest daughter, Mia, was born with a rare genetic disorder that they have yet to have diagnosed.  Through her disability, the Lord has transformed their marriage and family and has shown them the beauty that comes from suffering.  Their mission is to point others to Christ by remaining faithful and ever joyful in the midst of the hardships that life throws their way.

" Do not abandon yourselves to despair. 
We are the Easter people and 
hallelujah is our song."
