It is a Benedictine Tradition to honor one of our graduating Seniors with the coveted St. Scholastica Award at the Baccalaureate Mass. This award is given to a student who exemplifies the character and good works of St. Scholastica, twin sister of St. Benedict. Although there are many seniors students who have displayed strong academic and service leadership in the past year, there was one student whose achievements were truly outstanding. Priscille Dossekou, a Bloustein Scholar, Peer Mentor, Athlete, and member of the National Honor Society was awarded a bond and St. Scholastica icon from Sister Sharon McHugh, the prioress of the Benedictine Sisters.
We were also blessed to have Alumnus, Ericka Davis, Class of 2007, join Sister Germaine and Senior Graduate Jenice Caldwell, '10 in leading the Alma Mater. Ericka is the daughter of our beloved Bishop Luke Davis. She is presently in the midst of recording an album with her sister and mom in memory of Rev. Luke Davis, who sadly passed away last year.
Hail Benedictine Hail to Thee!
O let our voices raise.
A song of love and loyalty, forever in thy Praise.
The happiness which you have giv'n
We shall remember all our days.
Benedictine in our hearts
We'll hold you dear always.
