October is the Month of the Rosary!

What is the Rosary? Why is it important? How do I pray the Rosary? Look here

(http://www.ewtn.com/Devotionals/prayers/rosary/) for the answers to these

questions.

Pope John Paul II beautifully stated:

With the Rosary, the Christian people sit at the school of Mary and is led to

contemplate the beauty on the face of Christ and to experience the depths of

his love. Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae)

October 11 Begins the Year of Faith!

Target REDcard SBA Annual Fund

Great News! We received a check from Targets Take Charge of Education Program for $2,095.38. This is such a great and easy way to beef up our Annual Fund each year. We are thrilled with this gift, but out of curiosity, looked in on our schools progress using Targets user-friendly website. Guess what? We only have 79 Target credit cards out there that over a period of time have totaled over $20,000 in donations over the years. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE ALL DESIGNATED SBA ON OUR TARGET CARDS AS OUR SCHOOL OF CHOICE? Who doesnt go to Target? We are getting settled into the new school year, and are kicking off our Annual Fund drive. If you have a quick second, there are a few scenarios below. What a GREAT way to give to the school, and after the initial sign up, it is effortless. Please consider this super-easy way for SBA to receive a percentage of the amount of each Target purchase you make with your card. If you do not have a Target REDcard, you can go to Target.com to download the application, or pick one up in the store. If you already have a Target REDcard, you can go to their website to designate Saint Benedict as your school of choice. It is easy to search for by city and state. To see the progress report on our school and how much we have received from the Take Charge of Education program, check back to Target.com periodically. You will be amazed at how it adds up! Thank you so much for supporting SBA!
