Over the past year and especially recently, members of the St. Benedict’s
community found ways to keep Benedict’s culture alive. Whether it was by running
Group meetings virtually, holding sports events off the property, staging a Drama
Guild production outdoors, having student leaders coming to the property in small
groups, or streaming a celebration of the Benedict News’ First Edition, students
improvised.
Jorge Izurieta, Group Leader for Fr. John
Doyle (lower left), and Andy
Chuquirima, Group Leader for Fr.
Cornelius, have been attending classes
virtually while stationed in the
classroom of English Teacher Mr. Brian
Delaney. The student leaders, who tested
negative for COVID-19 and maintain
social distancing protocols, returned to
the property at the request of
Headmaster Fr. Edwin Leahy ‘63, O.S.B,
who wants to slowly, safely return
students to the property.
The SBP Swim Team resumed attending
meets this season, exciting many
students. In a recent meet against
Bloomfield High School (shown), the
Gray Bees triumphed.
