Happy Feast of St. Benedict!

Yes, I know St. Benedict is on the Roman calendar for July 11, but today is the feast of his death, which is typically a saint's feast day. I teach at a Benedictine school, so this is a high feast here. (On a less Lent-worthy note we actually didn't have school today, and we got a great lunch!). I asked the Abbot why Benedict is on the calendar in July instead of on the day he died. The reason he gave is since it does fall in Lent, it was moved because the Church wanted to be able to celebrate it like only Catholics know how. Just for kicks, we celebrate today too! I love being Catholic!
