A Note of Introduction from Father Robert Ryan, our new Pastor

Dear St. Benedict School Families,

It is with great joy and gratitude that I introduce myself as your new Pastor here at St. Benedict Parish and Prep School. My name is Fr. Ryan, and I am thrilled to join this vibrant and faith-filled community. From my very first visit, I was inspired by the spirit of hospitality, the strong sense of tradition, and the deep commitment to Catholic education that defines St. Ben’s.

As the new school year approaches, I want you to know how much I look forward to getting to know you—our students, parents, and extended families. I love spending time in the school, sharing in the joy and energy of our students, and being present to walk with them as they grow in faith, knowledge, and friendship. Whether it’s at drop-off, in the classroom, on the playground, or at school events, I look forward to meeting each of you personally in the weeks to come.

Please know that I am praying for you and your families as summer begins to wind down and the school year comes into view. The start of a new year always brings fresh hope, new goals, and a renewed opportunity to grow together in Christ. I look forward to seeing you at Mass and at the many wonderful gatherings that mark the beginning of the school year.

May God bless you and your family with peace and joy in these final weeks of summer. Let’s keep one another in prayer as we prepare for a grace-filled year ahead where we will learn fearlessly, lead responsibly, and serve joyfully. God bless, and let’s become great saints together!

In Christ’s Sacred Heart,

Fr. Ryan, Pastor

St. Benedict Parish and Prep School
