Mission & Purpose
The purpose of the Saint Benedict Academy Alumnae Association is to promote and maintain the bond of the members, support the ministries of the Benedictine Sisters, promote Catholic education and support and encourage its members in their involvement in service to ministries that promote Benedictine Values and traditions.
We are committed to carrying out the philosophy of our Benedictine Education-to develop to our full potential, to build community wherever we are, and to offer our gifts for others so that in all things God may be glorified.
We learned to appreciate ourselves as independent and unique women, to stand alone when necessary, to live with purpose, to work as part of something greater than ourselves.
Our Mission and Purpose are accomplished through:
COMMUNICATION with our membership:
All Alumnae receive our Association’s newsletter in The Mount magazine. The Saint Benedict Academy Alumnae pages are updated periodically.
COMMITMENT to Catholic Education:
Twenty $200 parochial educational scholarships are made available to relatives of members. Recipients are determined by lottery at the annual spring brunch.
SUPPORT of the Benedictine Sisters in their inner-city ministries:
An annual appeal fund drive is held during which time members of the alumnae association are asked for a donation that supports their association goals and the Benedictine Sisters.
PARTICIPATION in annual Alumnae events:
- The annual spring alumnae liturgy held at Mount Saint Benedict is followed by Brunch.
- The annual summer picnic is held each year.
- An annual Christmas party
- Additional events are planned throughout the year.
