St. Benedict's Day

In 1890, St. Bede’s founding Benedictine monks established an institution with a mission to prepare students for further education and their future role in the world and church.

Now, 133 years later, we uphold that mission as 100% of our seniors continue to be admitted to top colleges and universities. At St. Bede, we strive to foster an enriching community that challenges students and prepares them for next level learning.

It’s only possible through the support of our alumni and friends that we’re able to carry on this mission. Your collective generosity each year makes a difference for today's Bruins. 

As a way to honor our history, St. Bede’s mission and the Benedictine monks who established this Academy, we’re hosting our giving day on the Feast of St. Benedict’s Day.

Donations raised on St. Benedict’s Day support the St. Bede Fund.

What is the St. Bede Fund?

  • Makes up the difference in tuition costs. It costs $15,393 per year to educate one student, yet our students only pay $6,850 a year because of the assistance provided by the St. Bede Fund.

  • Covers the cost of academic compensation and instructional costs.

  • Sustains our athletic and other extra curricular programs.

  • Maintains our physical plant costs, including lights, electric, labor and repairs.

  • Supports the monastery and the monks.
