Saint Benedict Catholic Church N Sheppard St, Richmond

What a great Mass! Solemn and strictly by the book. Beautiful building, and Communion while kneeling!

Fave church in RVA hands down. Great homilies, they have an awesome RCIA program that i went thru and I really appreciate all the volunteers who work with the public education kids in Religious Ed. They are fantastic!!!

The church is absolutely stunning and would be a great place of worship, perfect for reflection and prayer.The mass was different from other churches I've been to in the sense of how everything was done at a much slower, relaxed pace.

Welcoming to new converts. Traditional in outlook with Latin ordinarys, you won't find guitar Masses.

Came here for an early music concert on a Sunday evening. Architecture is beautiful and people are friendly.

Welcome Fr Ramsey. Many people are hoping to return to the church their families help build. Many are missing the church they once called home. May God bless you and keep you always in His heart.

We love St. Benedict's! There is a large age range and many families with little ones, a beautiful liturgy (with a worship aid in case you're not familiar with the prayers.. some are in Latin but most in English, and this is the "new Mass" not the pre-Vatican 2 Latin Mass), a wonderful priest and deacon, active parishioners, study groups, Eucharistic Adoraration, pro-life and food pantry outreach, etc. The school is excellent and they now have a monthly homeschool group at the parish, too. All are welcome at this sincere Catholic parish! Also, the Oktoberfest is a ton of fun!

Such a fun place and we really enjoyed mass in Latin.

The St. Benedict Octoberfest is outstanding. They have many vendors, a good food selection and more than 50 beers to choose from including real octoberfest beer from Germany. Musicians play authentic sounding songs for a German octoberfest and there was even a stein holding contest. Really large crowd so I recommend getting their early. The beer lines get long for a full glass but they also offer a small taster size so you can sample a wide variety of beers and cider with a separate line. We try to go every year.

Wonderful church with a reverent mass!
