Novena Prayer
O Gracious Father, in every age
and at all times You bless Your
people with great gifts. Through
the prayers of Saint Jude Thadde-
us, powerful patron of the hope-
less, scatter the darkness of our
fear, crush the coronavirus and its
havoc, awaken cooperation for
the common good, safeguard all
who serve the sick and needy,
inspire charity in our words and
deeds, and train our hearts again
to trust in you.
Help our weary, broken world,
Living Lord, with faith, peace,
kindness, and compassion, with
humility, respect, joy, and cour-
age. See us through these trials,
Lord God, especially people giv-
en to depression and despair, the
unemployed, the homeless, the
hungry, and all with daily strug-
gles. May our love and respect for
Your creation bring new life,
greater mutual support, and en-
during, confident hope for all.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Qualified Charitable Distributions to St. Ben’s
If you are over 70 ½, consider making charitable donations
from your IRA using a Qualified Charitable Distribution
(QCD). You can transfer up to $100,000 per year to an eligible
charity. This would be a great way to grow the parish endow-
ments, help with a special project, or pay your weekly giving in
one lump sum. While a QCD does not generate a charitable
deduction, you do not have to report the income. This is a
great option for people to still get a tax benefit even though
they are not able to itemize deductions.
Charitable deduction rules can be very complicated, and you
should work with your tax advisor to ensure you are maximiz-
