Dear SPB Families,

Congratulations to our second graders who celebrated their First Holy Communion this past Sunday! Although it was a bit cloudy that day, there was such joy inside the Church. It was so wonderful to see the families share in it as they approached the table of the Lord together.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our moms, grandmothers, aunts, Godmothers, sisters, and other women in our lives who care for us and love us unconditionally!

Peace and blessings,

Diane Raguz, Principal

We received wonderful news this week that Alexander (A.J.) Slemc, SPB Class of 2019, has been nominated by his peers as a top 5 finalist for the prestigious Mr. Benedictine award!

The title of Mr. Benedictine is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a graduating senior from Benedictine High School. The winner shows through his character, scholarship, athleticism, leadership, service, Christian ethics, and his school pride that he is the best that Benedictine has to offer. In order to be selected, a student must have shown academic and athletic accomplishments, must be in good standing with the faculty & staff, and must ultimately be chosen by his peers. Congratulations to AJ and to his parents, Tricia and Alex! We are #SPBproud of AJ and are cheering him on!
