About St. Benedict’s Parish: St.
Benedict’s
Parish started as a mission Chapel of the Church of
St. Gregory the Great, Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Chapel was
established by virtue of Pope John Paul II’s motu proprio, Ecclesia
Dei, under
the aegis of the Most Rev. Walter F. Sullivan, DD, then Bishop of
Richmond. Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo invited the Priestly Fraternity of
St. Peter into the Diocese to staff St. Benedict's Chapel. A Fraternity
priest was needed to replace Rev. Damian Abbaticchio, OSB who had
retired after faithfully serving as chaplain since 1992. St. Benedict's
new church, built from the ground up, is one of the first churches in
the world to be designed and used exclusively for the extraordinary form
(Latin) of the Holy Mass since the 1960's and was dedicated on March 5,
2011 by the Most Rev. Francis X. DiLorenzo. Less than a year later the
Chapel was canonically erected as a parish. St. Benedict’s Parishl
continues under the provisions of the motu proprio,
Summorum Pontificum,
with the permission of His Excellency, The Most Reverend Francis X.
DiLorenzo, Bishop of the Diocese of Richmond. St. Benedict’s Chapel is
one of two apostolates of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) in
the Richmond Diocese, and is staffed with priests from the Priestly
Fraternity of St. Peter.
