A message from Abbot Philip, OSB, Vice-President of Mission Advancement

As Abbot, I have been entrusted with the mission of helping to raise funds to support the good work of the Academy and Abbey. I hope all of you understand how crucial your support is in helping us to continue our various missions. I ask that you please make an investment in our future. I can’t think of two more important works than preparing teenagers to enter the world with a solid educational and faith background and spreading the gospel by our way of life and preaching.

When you were a student at St. Bede, the monastic community paid a significant percentage of the cost of your education, plus alumni and friends supported you with their gifts. I now ask you to return the favor by making an investment in our missions of education and of spreading the gospel. Only with your significant help can we continue our good works.

Please continue to support us, and know that God not only loves a cheerful giver, he promises to richly bless those who give. Thank you for all you’ve done and let us continue to work together to help St. Bede grow and prosper. When you see the smiling faces of our students pictured on this site, and read about their success, know that you helped make this possible. May God bless you and all those you love.

The Development Team at St. Bede supports encourages and promotes our mission, vision and philanthropic goals.  We work hard to nurture lifelong connections, foster relationships with students, alumni, community and other constituents, and provide communications support and public visibility.

The Development Team also promotes the image of St. Bede by providing communications media and services designed to enhance retention, build alumni relations and fundraising efforts.

We encourage all parents to participate and support the school in all fundraising events and activities.
