The Godparent Program

“I can’t thank my daughter’s ‘Godparents’ enough for providing her with an incredible academic experience. She is thriving in an environment which embraces the philosophy that all are created equal in the eyes of God, all have the ability to learn if afforded the opportunity and that we all have talents and gifts that can be used to glorify God and to make the world a better place. The phrase ‘thank you” just doesn’t express the magnitude of our family’s gratitude.”

The Saint Benedict Academy Godparent Program is a unique partnership between student, parent, benefactor, and school. It is designed for students who demonstrate a financial hardship, matching them with Godparents in the community who pledge to provide moral, prayerful, and financial support to the student and their family. In exchange for tuition support, students agree to achieve personal academic goals, maintain good citizenship, and participate in school activities; and parents agree to contribute financially as well as through service to the school.

How Can I Help?

You can help by getting involved. Every dollar contributed to the Godparent Parent goes directly to provide an excellent education for students in need as well as helps to shape a student in the Catholic faith. It costs approximately $4,000 per year to educate one student at Saint Benedict Academy. Many families sacrifice a great deal to afford this opportunity for their children. Currently, 20 families receive assistance through the Saint Benedict Academy financial aid program. But more families are in need of help.

Please help us provide a child in need with a value-based, quality Catholic education at Saint Benedict Academy by contacting Sister Betty Roy by email or by phone at (603) 669-3932.
