About SBA
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.

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 spring alumnae liturgy at Mount Saint Benedict followed by Brunch; the summer picnic; the Christmas party; additional events planned throughout the year.

SBA School Song
School Song
( until 1945)
A cheer for SBA
for dear old SBA.
Let’s sing her memory
in joyful song.
A cheer for SBA
for dear old SBA.
The school we love
The school we love.
Throughout our future lives
We’ll ever honor thee.
Inspired by thy light
shall be our loyalty
Shall be, shall be our loyalty.
A cheer for SBA
for dear old SBA.
We’ll voice our song
thy praise prolong.
School Song
(after 1945)
A cheer for dear St. Benedict’s
And many happy days
With friends we never can forget,
Who join us in our praise;
Where e’er we go in future days
Thy honor we’ll proclaim;
Inspir’d shall be our loyalty
And glory to thy name.
Refrain:
St. Benedict’s, St. Benedict’s
We’ll always hail thy halls;
We’ll always come to thee again
When Alma Mater calls.
We thank thee for thy guiding care
And all we’ve learned from thee
To fill our hearts with higher power
And opportunity;
To make the best of everything,
Meet troubles with a smile,
To hold aloft our highest aim,
And hail thee all the while.
