I DISAGREE with the previous review.
I have been a member of St. Benedict's Catholic Church since I moved to SC over 2 years ago. It was a shock to me to be attending Mass at a school cafeteria, so I was delighted when I learned that the Church had a Building Fund to construct a real Church for us parishioners to worship God as it should be.
With all due respect, all you had to do was to talk personally to Father Chet or his fund raising Campaign Chairperson and made them aware of your feelings and dislikes about the way they were conducting it.
In my opinion, leaving the Church and criticizing it from outside is not the answer.
Unfortunately, if you do not ask for donations, most people will ignore the need or postpone donating, and nothing will happen.
I think Father Chet and Ms. Ferencz are very mindful of the parishioners opinions.
I encourage you to come back and give us another chance. The new church is going to be great! and I assure you that you will feel welcome and at home.
