The St. Benedict at Auburndale Home and School Association is a support organization. We provide service through volunteer efforts for many events that greatly enhance the positive atmosphere at SBA. Our primary goal is to foster family involvement and provide a sense of cooperation between home and school. We do not fund raise, but do request a $45 per family donation to take care of all the special activities that the Home & School helps to support.

First Friday Adoration

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is on the First Friday of each month.  Eucharistic Adoration begins with Exposition at 8:00am and concludes at 2:40pm with Solemn Benediction.  Parent volunteers are needed to cover in half hour increments so that the Blessed Sacrament is not left unattended during the school day.  Mother Theresa of Calcutta once said "What we need to convert America and save the world is to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in Holy Hours of Prayer."  Please prayerfully consider volunteering for this special time with our Lord.
