Brother Bede
B
rother Bede Benn, C.F.X., a beloved former teacher and administrator at Xaverian in the 1960’s, passed away at the age of 95 on May 10. As long as he was able, he attended class reunions where former students enjoyed sharing Brother Bede stories of their high school days. He had a tremendous influence on his students, faculty and his brothers in community. “The oldest living Xaverian Brother, Brother Bede’s life as a man totally devoted to God was an inspiration to me and so many Xaverian Brothers,” said Headmaster Brother Daniel Skala, C.F.X. “He will always be a special part of our school legacy as well as one of the legends in our congregation.” May he forever rest in God’s peace.
