The Episcopal Church of St Benedict

About this church

The Episcopal Church of St. Benedict celebrates Holy Eucharist Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in person and online. Sunday School meets during that service on the second and fourth Sundays of the school year, and an online Bible study gathers Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. with no advance preparation required. Eucharist is shared every week, and the parish invites all who desire a deeper relationship with Christ to come forward. Worship draws people of varied ages, backgrounds, political views, family structures, and levels of certainty from Bolingbrook and neighboring western suburbs.

St. Benedict names hospitality, community, and prayer as central values, drawing inspiration from the Rule of Benedict. Its welcome explicitly includes LGBTQ+ people and families and makes room for both faithful and doubting participants. That openness is paired with concrete service: Linda's Matthew Ministry distributes food and hygiene kits to people experiencing homelessness; a partnership with Exodus World Service furnishes apartments for arriving refugee families; and Grace and Race creates space for candid conversation across racial and ethnic divisions. The church also takes Ash Wednesday ashes into the parking lot and offers Christian education for children and adults. This is a diverse Episcopal parish where sacramental worship, broad welcome, and hands-on local outreach are closely connected.
