DROP EVERYTHING AND SERVE DAY


Listening with the ear of our hearts, the entire student body and staff DROPPED EVERYTHING AND SERVED the hungry, the homeless and the lonely on this last day of Catholic Schools Week. After Mass, the underclassmen went to the Community Food Bank to help sort and pack the generous food donations of the local community. We also made a dollar contribution to the foodbank to help provide for those who have less than us.

A Special Thanks to the African American Club and Students In Action.

The Senior Class took a short journey to BUILD-A-BEAR workshop to each make a bear for the litltle children at the Elizabeth Coalition for the Homeless.    St. Paul reminds us that there is no greater gift than the gift of love.  How blessed are we to be able to share the Sacred Heart of Jesus with the world!

Service Leadership at Benedictine Academy is not just a requirement, it is our passion.  We believe we have a shared responsibility to deliver happiness by helping those in need.  Turn the world upside down and inside out and you will see that every time we help the least of our brothers and sisters, we are really caring for Jesus in the disguise of the poor.



 It is such an honor and a privilege to be able to be able to touch the hands of Jesus in the elderly, the lonely, and the forgotten. 
Thank you Benedictine Academy.
