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 goals are accomplished through:
COMMUNICATION with our membership:
All Alumnae receive our Association's newsletter three times a year in The Mount magazine. The Saint Benedict alumnae web pages are updated every two weeks.
COMMITMENT to Catholic Education:
Twenty-five $200 parochial school educational scholarships are made available to relatives of active alumnae members. Recipients are determined by lottery at the annual spring alumnae brunch.
SUPPORT of the Benedictine Sisters in their inner-city ministries:
An annual appeal fund drive and phon-a-thon are held each August and September. Members of the alumnae association are asked for a donation that supports their association goals, the Saint Benedict Community Center and the Benedictine Sisters.
PARTICIPATION in annual Alumnae events:
— The annual spring alumnae liturgy held at Mount Saint Benedict is followed by Brunch.
— An annual summer picnic is held each year early in August.
— An annual Christmas party is held every year, during which the SBA Woman of the
Year Award is presented
— Additional events, such as excursions, are planned throughout the year.
