Parish Activities

Family Fun Days	One Sunday each month, St. Benedict's Chapel provides an opportunity for families of the Parish to have a meal provided by the church and socialize. After the 10:30 AM Mass, the St. Joseph's Men's Guild organizes lunch so busy families can relax and enjoy one another's company.
Baby Showers	A chance to show support and joy on behalf of the Parish for expectant mothers of St. Benedict's. "Baby-due" mothers are honored at a gathering with food, games and prizes.
Triduum of Feasts Banquet	Wishing to honor some of our favorite patron saints, each spring St. Benedicts's Chapel hosts a celebration in honor of St. Patrick, St. Joseph and our Chapel patron St. Benedict. Held on a Sunday afternoon, a "St. Joseph's table", with lots of food and deserts is a highlight of the festival. Many prizes are raffled to children of the Chapel.
May Crowning with Procession	A highlight of our Chapel's liturgical year, each month of May reminds us of the privileges and favors bestowed upon Our Lord's Mother. After a high Mass, priests and faithful walk in an outdoor procession singing hymns of praise in honor of Heaven and earth's Queen. The procession concludes with a young lady of the Parish crowning a beautiful statue of Mary, Mother of God.
Annual Yard Sale	Left overs from spring cleaning? Don't know what to do with all that stuff from Grandpa's attic? Search no more - each June St. Joseph's Men's Guild sponsors a yard sale, selling everything from books to appliances to old records.
Family Baseball Night	The members of St. Benedict's Chapel are no strangers to America's pastime. One summer night, families gather for a Norfolk Tides ballgame, starting off with a dinner of classic ballpark fare.
Summer Movie Nights	Join us on three Saturday nights during the summer for some of Hollywood's greatest. Be sure to bring an appetite. Burgers, hot dogs and fresh popcorn are on the house. A large screen film projector makes you think you're in the theater - without modern day movie prices.
October Rosary Procession	Traditionally, the month of October is directed towards honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary through the Holy Rosary. Each Friday night in the month of October, a short Rosary procession to Our Lady's outdoor shrine takes place after the 7:00 PM Mass, as lighted outdoor luminaries show the path to Our Lady's shrine.
All Saint's Party	Holy Mother Church bids her faithful to honor and revere Her heroes - the Saints. Each November, children of the Parish dress in their favorite Saint constume for an afternoon of fun and joy in the spirit of each favorite Saint.
Christmas Pageant	No Christmas season would be complete without the telling of the Nativity story. Young members of St. Benedict's Chapel sponsor a Nativity play, inspiring all to remember the real Reason for the Season. A Christmas "Secret Shop" teaches younger Chapel members the importance of being givers, as they purchase small gifts for their friends and families.
Christmas Party	The Son of God is born among us - and this is reason to celebrate. The Parish Christmas party gives Chapel families the chance to rejoice in the joy of the Season - Jesus Christ is born!
