Annual AppealDear Alum,
Like you, the Benedictine Sisters are very much a part of my life and the fabric of my being since my first day of high school at St. Benedict Academy so many years ago.
To this day, I remain in awe of the difference their presence makes in our communities. Whether it is felt in the lives of hundreds of at-risk, inner-city children, new refugees and their families, the hungry, needy or mentally and physically challenged, the Sisters are ever present, always touching these lives and making a permanent mark, just as they did for me in my high school formation and education.
They need our help to continue these ministries and the outreach to all whose lives are forever changed. Together, with the Sisters, we can help support their vision to change the world one person at a time!
Imagine what would happen if we could all collectively support the Sisters and their ministries? Individually, $10 might not sound like much, but together what an impact we could have! You and I, with all of our alumnae friends, could make a real difference in these lives. So, I am asking you to join me in supporting the Sisters with a gift of $10 a month for one year. We understand that everybody’s circumstances are different and this may not be realistic for you. Whatever you choose to give will make a meaningful difference…you can always just surprise us!
Please join me in saying thank you to the Sisters for keeping the Benedictine presence so alive in our community!
In gratitude,
Mary Rita Groucutt ’72

P.S. I know the Sisters hold each and every one of us close in prayer every day

Ann,
On behalf of my son and my daughter-in-law and my grandsons, Matt and Mike, thank you and the Alumnae Association for the $200 Scholarship. With five children to raise and educate, every dollar is appreciated more than you can ever know. I am so grateful. God willing, we will be able to continue this very worthwhile program for many years to come.
Gratefully, Marlene Squeglia ,60
