I started giving in memorial of Robert Pearce but now I also give because I love reading about the hope and joy St Benedict’s provides. Thank you St Benedict’s

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.

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!

Best wishes and Happy Birthday. Youve come a longway and done so much good since I last saw you in 1969

Your work is fantastic. I come from a long family of teachers and want to see kids get the best start possible.

In honor of Armaun Cameron

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!

Keep up the good work, Fr. Ed! Congratulations on the 53 years of service!

Happy birthday, Father Edwin! A remarkable life of love, dedication and service

In honor of Fr Edwin Leahy

Happy Birthday Father Ed!! God Bless you. May you have many more.

In honor of Fr. Edwin

We were fighting about something - I forget what - in an Irish sort of way. So we were loud. He yelled at me, “You know what the trouble with you is? Athletes want to win. Artists want to GROW.” And he was absolutely right - distilled our differences in three succinct sentences. But he never let difference stand in the way of supporting the young artists of the Drama Guild. Go raibh míle maith again, a Chara.

Happy Birthday to the Miracle Worker of High Street.

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.

St. Benedict's is a place of hope and excellence; something we all need to believe in!

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.

I believe in you mission, and that you never abandoned Newark.
