Parishioners Brett Carmean and Peter Schirmer are preparing to leave for seminary in a few weeks. To support them, there will be a farewell gathering sponsored by our parish Knights of Columbus after the 10:15AM Mass at St. Elizabeth of Hungary on August 11. Please come and thank Brett and Peter for their “Yes!” to God’s Will to discern the Priesthood. Perhaps it will inspire others in our parish to consider a vocation to the Priesthood or religious life.

This year's Summerfest in downtown Denton will take place on Friday, August 16 and Saturday, August 17. Consider volunteering to help staff our parish booth for an hour or two as we bring the face and voice of St. Benedict/St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish to those in our community and beyond. Contact Lori in the Parish Office for more details.

As Fr. Lewis noted in his July 14th bulletin reflection, "a large number of our youth and youth from other parishes joined us for Vacation Bible School. Our children learned through games and crafts, puppet shows, singing and faith lessons to discover, respect, protect, serve and celebrate life: their own and that of all others. To see and participate in their joy was most certainly “Spirit and Life.” Heartfelt appreciation and thanks to all the volunteers from the parish and beyond who, under the direction of Pam & Jill King, provided an unforgettable encounter with Christ for our children."
