While traveling north on Rt. 19 St. Benedicts Church is on the right side of the road, one traffic light before the cross street of W. Venable St and the south west end of the Crystal River Air Port.

St Benedict Church opened its doors in Citrus County in 1953 and the church pictured here was built in 1981. Reverend Ryszard Strodomski has been interim pastor and accordingly to Catholic tradition of the Catholic Churches in the United States he was officially installed Saturday February 27, 2010 after the 5:00 services with the reception scheduled afterwards at Hilgert Hall. Reverend Fr. “Richard” was transferred from his last assignment as pastor with the missions of Guatemala after serving nine years. Fr. “Richards” Uncle, youngest Brother, and Friend who attended the seminary with him, are also Priests and traveled here from Poland to join him in honor of this installation celebration.

The church sponsors several charitable and service ministries for the poor with food drives and helps the needy of the local community. There are special religious instruction classes for the children attending public schools on Sundays before the 10:30 services. The Organ Master is developing a first class Choir for the 10:30 Sunday services. The scheduled weekly religious service for the parishioners is held at 5:00 Pm on Saturdays and Sundays at 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM.
