Welcome back Father Steve Benden, CSs.R., to STM. This week, Monday, November 30 through December 3, at 7:00 PM, Father Steve Benden will help us to experience in a heightened and intense way; spiritual connec&ons to God, to Church and to fellow men and women. As the season of Advent begins, may we be watchful in prayer and render service to one another.

This is what I have learned about Father Benden;

Father Steve Benden is a Redemptorist priest from St. Louis, Missouri. He professed his religious vows in 1981 and was ordained a priest in 1989. As a priest he has been involved in numerous parishes around the Midwest where he has been involved in much youth work. He also has worked at a retreat house, has given numerous parish missions around the coun-try. He is an avid supporter of the St. Louis Cardinal baseball team and loves Italian food. Father Steven is happy to be at St. Thomas More this week as we grow in our faith through our parish mission.

Please, do plan on a4ending our Parish Advent Mission this week with your family and friends.

¡Bienvenido de nuevo padre Steve Benden, CSs.R. a nues-tra Parroquia de Santo Tomas Moro! Esta semana, lunes 30 de noviembre al 3 de diciembre a las 7 PM, el Padre Steve Benden nos ayudará experimentar de una manera consiente y intensiva; conexiones espirituales con Dios, la Iglesia y con semejantes hombres y mujeres. Ya que el &empo de Adviento inicia, seamos vigilantes en oración y rendir nuestro servicio uno al otro.

Lo siguiente es lo que he aprendido del Padre Benden;

El Padre Steve Benden es un sacerdote redentorista de St. Louis, Missouri. Profesó sus votos religiosos en 1981 y fue ordenado sacerdote en 1989. Como sacerdote ha par&ci-pado en numerosas parroquias en el medio oeste de los estados unidos trabajando mayormente con la juventud.
