St. Benedict Academy Alumnae Association
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.
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.
