Take the Polar Plunge!
Join us in our Annual fundraiser sponsored by the Ancient Order of Hibernians to benefit the Catholic Schools in our area!
Parents, students, faculty, staff, parishioners, and friends of St. Benedict Catholic Church and School are invited to take the plunge. The money raised from our individual sponsors will come directly to SBS. In addition, the AOH will divide the funds that they raise among the participating schools.
