Benedictine Day of Service College of Saint Benedict Saint John's University

    Time to come together in Benedictine service!


    True to the Benedictine way, service of others in the name of Benedictine values like community living and stewardship is a hallmark of CSB and SJU alumni. Your time on these campuses and within our unique community has instilled in you a desire to make the world a better place, and that starts within your own community. 

    On this Benedictine Day of Service, we invite Johnnies, Bennies, families, and friends everywhere to put this spirit into action. 

    This year, the CSB Alumnae Board and the SJU Alumni Board are working together to offer you simple and engaging chances to do just that. Activities this year will focus on the basic needs of your community.  

    Mark your calendar and make plans now to lend your energy to the effort as we pool the power of Bennies and Johnnies around the world into a focused force for good – wherever we are.
