"The children and adults at Benedictine are accepted and valued for
who they are and who they can become, not who they might have been."
~ Sister Jeannette Murray, O.S.B., Director

Experience a sense of this special place for special people: individuals with developmental disabilities from five years of age to senior citizens. Our full range of techniques and treatments work with a team of dedicated, caring professionals in a loving environment. It's a combination that is unique in the world. In fact, many of our parents like to think of Benedictine as "a prep school for life's challenges." As you browse our site, you will get an idea of what happens here, how you can help Benedictine and how Benedictine can change your life. Please scroll down to see highlights of "What's New" on our web site! The Executive Director of Benedictine Programs and Services is Sister Jeannette Murray, O.S.B. Read Sister Jeannette's profile.
