Forming Future Church Leaders
The Saint Benedict Education Foundation (SBEF) provides support for monks and nuns from developing countries studying at Sant’ Anselmo in Rome. Without the support from SBEF, these individuals would not have the means to continue their academic careers, preparing them as future leaders in their monastic communities and the Church. Together, we are providing a path for success for the future of the Church.
