From 1985-1989, SBP worked to make my husband the strong, undeterred man that he is today. And now, my son is beginning the same journey (with some of the very same influencers - such as Father Ed and their freshman basketball coach, Coach Badger). I’m grateful for the SBP influence. It truly takes a village.

In honor of Danny Vizuete CO 2000

My father, Danny Vizuete, encouraged that I attend his alma mater. I did not budge at first. It took many random trips and many encounters with Fr Edwin that helped change my mind. When my father passed on April 22 2025, I realised how important this school was to him and how much it meant for both of his sons to attend. Watching all of his graduating classmates attend his wake made me realise, Benedicts was never only meant to be a educational institution.

I first met Fr. Ed when I introduced a student facing serious challenges… challenges that the school was not in a position to easily address. Rather than turning us away, Fr. Ed welcomed the boy while honestly explaining what he’d need to succeed. I was amazed at Fr. Ed’s compassion (mixed with tough love) and his readiness to help with such a tough case. I doubt I will ever be able to repay Fr. Ed or St. Benedict’s for the willingness to lift up this child. Happy 80th!

The hive builds character, faith, dedication & commitment. Qualities that every young man should possess for a successful career & future. Life's lessons are usually learned at an early age and what better place to start learning them but at the hive. The hive is place, a home, where many gather to live a common life, an existence in community, peace & sharing. May the prep always be a home to those who enter through its doors., and may the dedicated teachers continue to share their knowledge & commitment to the school and its students.

St. Benedict's Prep has an incredible community that provides a nurturing and enriching environment for my children. The school focuses on holistic development, ensuring that students not only excel academically but also grow emotionally and socially. The teachers are dedicated and passionate, offering personalized attention to each student. They encourage curiosity and foster a love for learning through engaging lessons and activities. The school's small class sizes allow for more interaction and a stronger bond between students and teachers. Additionally, St. Benedict's Prep offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, and community service programs. These opportunities help my children develop new skills, build confidence, and make lasting friendships. The supportive community of parents and staff collaborates closely, creating a strong network that benefits the students. Regular communication and involvement ensure that parents can stay engaged in their children's education and contribute to the school's growth. Overall, the sense of community at St. Benedict's Prep plays a vital role in nurturing my children’s development and success.

Fr. Edwin followed some of us to St. Peter's Prep in Jersey City where he started the wrestling program at Prep and continued to nourish our abbreviated journey of 1 year (1971) with St. Benedict's while introducing his extraordinary humanity to the young men who passed through Prep from that time forward - well done Brother Edwin!

On a rare occasion, school was canceled due to snow. I went sleigh riding with Fr. Ed on a golf course. We rode double on a sled and crashed. My face was cut up from the event. While walking back to the clubhouse, many other sleigh riders Were staring at my face, and Fr. Ed‘s comment was, “you should see the other guy“ All the next day, school was open again. Fr. Ed took the moment and advantage to call me out in front of convocation to warn others, what can happen when school closes and there’s a snow day!

Interviewing me in Spring 1975 at Union Theological for a social studies and biology teaching opening. Fortunately for me I accepted. The few years I was with St. B redirected my appreciation of commitment, teaching, teen struggles, and introspection.

In honor of Recently deceased James Francis Gaul, St. Benedicts teacher and best buddy of mine.

My friend Jim Gaul often spoke of Fr. Ed’s gravitas. How the boys sat in solemn attention whenever he spoke especially when he intoned, “God’s gonna want to know where you stand when the calling for righteousness abounds.” Jim was my good friend and mentor and exuded a good deal of his own gravitas in his classrooms. I hasten to add he was a very funny guy beloved by his students.

Benedict's has done and continues to do a lot for its students. We alumni know what it's like to walk in the shoes of anybody who passes through the front entrance at 520 MLK Blvd, and we were grateful that those who came before us continued to support us. Those who have now achieved their success must continue the tradition of brotherhood.
