Report
What a difference
a year makes!
The graduating Class of 2013 included 75 students from across
the globe. Together, they achieved remarkable results during their
four year career at Saint Bede Academy: over 10,000 service hours
recorded, 65 tons of food donated to local food pantries, more than
$4,000 in toys donated to local toy drives, 100% pursuing a post-
secondary education, and a composite ACT score of 23.8!
You, too, have made a significant difference in the graduating Class of 2013. Individually and
collectively, over the past four years we have invested $1,922,530.00 in the future of these 75 students:
tuition, scholarships, ‘fund the gap’ efforts, tuition assistance, etc.
Just as the Class of 2013 is ready for the next step in their journey, so too are WE! Our development
program remains consistent in achieving our goals each year through your continued support and
generosity. Your generosity in many ways is mirrored by the students of Saint Bede as they embody a
sense of philanthropy through their deeds and efforts. Perhaps our students have learned from your
obedience to the command of Jesus, “The gift you have received, give as a gift.” Matthew 10:8.
Here is a profound and moving example from this fall: Cora Peters, a senior at Bureau Valley High
School seems to be running out of treatment options in her 4 year battle with cancer. She came to
know the Saint Bede family on Friday, September 6th when the students of Saint Bede presented her
and her family with a check for a little less than $8,000 so she could realize her dream of a trip to
Hawaii. Cora’s wish is to create some happy memories for her parents and family in the midst of her
ongoing struggle with cancer. Karen Peters, Cora’s mom addressed the crowd, “Tonight, we have seen
the face of Jesus in the students and friends of Saint Bede Academy.”
The Saint Bede Legacy Project is the next step in OUR journey to ensure that the rich tradition that
has been given to us by the monks of Saint Bede carries on for generations to come. The Saint Bede
Legacy Project is the most important investment we can make in the future of Saint Bede Academy.
(See page 6)
Thank you again for all that you have done in the past. I hope and pray that you will join us on
this journey as we transform and revitalize the living legacy that we all know as Saint Bede Academy!

Saint Bede Abbey & Academy
Our Journey
Has Begun...
Abbot Philip and Donna Aleksy are making plans to come your way
to share the exciting news about the Saint Bede Legacy Project.
Jeannie Margherio will be in touch to set up a time to visit
or contact Jeannie at 815-250-0347.
Our goal is to raise the $750,000.00 for Phase 1 by December 31, 2013
– so that contracts and quotes for the foundational phase
of the Legacy Project can begin.
Our initial efforts are totaling $414,000.00 toward Phase 1.

The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
for those who seek him.
In our world where we are often so busy and have so much to do, we
don’t like waiting. At least that is the case for me. I have discovered that
waiting destroys the myth so many of us have, that we are in control and can
make anything happen. Thus I have come to realize that the real key is coming
to know what God wants and then patiently working to make it happen. In
theology we sometime speak of time as Kairos, a moment when God is clearly
present and blessing us. Unfortunately we often are too busy to notice.
After several years of growing dementia and increasing frustration Father
Joseph went to Saint Joseph’s Nursing Home in Lacon where he received very
fine care. Father Joseph for most of his life was busy working on a variety of
projects, and so being limited, confined and not being free to roam was very
difficult. He would often ask, “What am I supposed to do?” Incredibly he lost
his interest in Art. As far as I know he only did one five minute art project in
his seven months at the nursing home. In late March his quick decline caused
his family and I to gather around him and support him by prayer and song.
During his last days, he experienced very little suffering, and passed quietly to
the Lord. It seemed clear that the Lord and had been waiting for Father Joseph
just as Father Joseph had been seeking the Lord. We all rejoiced when the Lord
took Father Joseph to his eternal home on April 4th. We are looking for ways to
continue to use the Art Barn for art work. We have some ideas and are waiting
for them to come to fruition.
Our Brother David came to Saint Bede about five years ago and has been
going through the formation process. Although he had not gone to college
he began to study at IVCC and showed a real love of learning. He is now studying at Benedictine University in Lisle where he
is working toward his certification as an English teacher. He has a deep thirst for knowledge and loves literature. Given the
struggles he had in his earlier years he seems to have a great compassion for students who struggle in school, and a desire to
understand how to help them. He has to wait for another three semesters to begin his teaching ministry.
For a number of years we have been waiting to do some much needed repairs in the monastery. Now that we are a
community of twenty we have too much space in our large building so are reorganizing ourselves. In a couple of months all
the monks will live on the second and fourth floor of the monastery. The fourth floor has skylights and is bright and welcoming.
The second floor has our reading room, our recreation spaces, a nice meeting room and the Abbot’s office. All the monks will
be able to live on those two floors. The first floor will be used for guests and our infirmary. We are moving the tailor shop and
the laundry to the monastery basement. Fortunately there is adequate space available and it will not be a very expensive project.
Thanks largely to Monsignor Duncan’s very generous gift we were able to replace the main roof of the Abbey church. We are
hoping to replace the monastery roof this fall if weather permits. Both have long needed replacing. We have also replaced the
windows on the north side of the monastery. I find it easier to wait for the renewal of our monastery building because I can see
ongoing progress.
I was fortunate to attend the Abbot’s workshop in San Diego and the General Chapter of the American Cassinese Congregation
in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. While I was there Father Claude who was our delegate to the general chapter had a heart attack but
seems to be recovering well.
I have given a few retreats in the past year and have had the joy of confirming young people in three parishes in the Peoria
Diocese. Father Dominic continues to present workshops in Illinois and in the St. Louis area. Father Gabriel has given a retreat
for priests of the Peoria Diocese. If you haven’t noticed the Abbey, after considerable work by Prior Michael, has launched a new
website at www.stbedeabbey.org. I am attempting to write a blog a couple of times a week, and we will soon be launching an
Abbey store where items we make will be available for purchase.
There are two other major news items. Abbey Fields at Saint Bede remains a work in progress, but as usual there is the issue
of financing, so please continue to pray. The second item is the Academy Legacy Project which will provide a quality state-0fthe-art learning facility for Saint Bede Academy students.
It is true that “The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to those who seek him.” I would just add that if we pay attention
while we are waiting, we can rejoice in all the good God does for us even as we are waiting. May God bless you abundantly for
being a blessing to all of us at Saint Bede.

Saint Bede Abbey & Academy
Monastery stay inspires insight
Questing For God:
“Come away by yourselves to a deserted place
and rest awhile.”
— Mark 6:31
Jesus Christ’s words to his disciples, spoken 2,000 years
ago, came alive for me on a warm, sunny August afternoon
at Saint Bede Academy in Peru.
Sitting across from Abbot Philip Davey in his office, I
jumped from one topic to another, interspersing my questions
for a news article about the relevancy of monasteries in
today’s society with anecdotes about the world’s — and my
own — often chaotic life.
A little more than an hour into the conversation, Abbot
Philip, a seasoned spiritual director, suggested perhaps I
should come see for myself what monastic life is like. Maybe
I should come and stay a day or two and see how the monks
live.
Yes, I thought, that sounds like just what I need. I
hurriedly picked up my notebook and a list of questions I had
pushed off to the side, stood up, smiled and said I would be
in touch.
“Wait,” Abbot Philip said. “Let us pray before you leave.”
Oh. Prayer. Why didn’t I think of that?
I folded my hands, closed my eyes and listened as Abbot
Philip offered an insightful prayer for my needs. The one part
of his prayer that resonates with me still is his plea to God to
rescue me from a “fragmented” life.
A little more than a month later, following my first meal
with the monks on a late Friday afternoon, I sat quietly by a
pond west of Saint Bede Abbey, while Abbot Philip fed the
koi that surfaced for their daily bread from underneath the
lily pads. He explained to me the importance of taking time
between handfuls of food to allow the koi to eat. Otherwise
the remaining food settles to the bottom of the pond and is
wasted.
Before we could get too deep into our conversation
about monastic life, the Abbey’s bells rang, signifying it was
time for Vespers, or evening prayer.
Over the next 48 hours, I would join the monks for noon
and evening prayer, Mass and lunch and supper. I had gone
into the weekend with the best of intentions of also joining
them for Lauds, or morning prayer, but I could not tear myself
out of bed early enough. During noon and evening prayer, I
read along with the monks and tried to be mindful of the
words from the Divine Office I was praying with them — and
religious orders around the world.
In between their scheduled communal prayer times,
I spoke with several of the monks — every one of whom I
found to be loving, hospitable, humble and wise, with
healthy senses of humor — and read from books I brought
with me, including the Bible and “Monastery of the Heart,”
by Benedictine nun Joan Chittister, about practicing monastic
spirituality for those of us outside the monastery walls.
Nothing significant seemed to be happening. My
life outside the abbey wouldn’t let go of me so easily. All I
could sense was the interior chatter — the hope I would do
justice with the stories I planned to write about the weekend
and my overwhelming sense of inadequacy to do so. But
as I participated in the life of the monks, something was
happening, something I wouldn’t notice until I was at home
Sunday night winding down from the weekend and getting
ready for the work week.
About 7:30 p.m., I sat in the recliner and realized the
monks were engaged in evening prayer. After only two days
with them, I missed them and their disciplined and devoted
search and listening for God. I felt a magnetic yearning to be
there with them and join with them in prayer.
In that yearning I was indeed connected with them and
the prayers — spoken and unspoken — we share in our hearts
and continually lift to God.
As I continue to reflect on my visit with the monks and
my own efforts to incorporate their wisdom of prayer, silence
and listening for the voice of God in my life, I pray for the
world in which we live.
May we all be rescued from living a fragmented life.
Lord, hear our prayer.

Legacy Project
Saint Bede Abbey & Academy
“A Legacy Project that will sustain our century old structure and renovate it into a state-of-the-art educational
facility which combines old and new construction to continue the Benedictine legacy for centuries to come. ”
Deeply rooted in the community for 120 years, the campus
and structures of Saint Bede Academy and Abbey have played
a significant role in shaping the lives of many individuals from
all walks of life. The buildings have endured the ravages of
fire, regularly faltering economic conditions, deteriorating
infrastructure and continuously evolving academic program
requirements. These historic structures that have served so
well in the past are worthy of the attention necessary to allow
them to do the same for another hundred years.
Present operational objectives at Saint Bede Academy are
centered on a mission-driven, financially sustainable trajectory.
The guiding principles that give this redevelopment plan
direction make best use of existing physical, human and
financial resources to coax another century out of this great
old school building. Subsequent capital improvement projects
must reconfigure existing spaces and create new learning
environments that support student achievement, life skills
development and social responsibility.
Full-phase construction is scheduled for completion in
September 2021, the 130th anniversary of the opening of
Saint Bede College. This eight year capital improvement plan
is realistic but nonetheless wholly dependent on a successful
fundraising campaign.
Renovations will include: new ceiling and lighting, new
windows to match existing, new casework, new electrical and
data wiring, and new finishes while existing wood floor will
remain.
“We believe that every student has the right to receive a quality Catholic education within a safe environment.
The Legacy Project is the most important investment we can make in the future of Saint Bede Academy. Only you
can make this project possible. Your legacy gift is truly the gift that will keep on giving. Leave your legacy at
Saint Bede Academy.”

Saint Bede Abbey & Academy
It’s time . . .
During FY ’13 we continued to witness the academic accomplishments of
our students. Twelve members of the class of ’13 were Illinois State Scholars.
The class of ’13 also boasted four AP Scholars. During their studies at the
Academy the Class of ’13 earned a total of 505 hours of transcripted college
and/or university credits. Perhaps the most important accomplishment of
our 2013 graduates was that every one of the 75 members of that graduating
class enrolled in the post secondary institution of their choice.
Congratulations to the Academy graduates of 2013. I would also offer
congratulations to the faculty and staff of Saint Bede Academy for creating
a learning environment and building a culture that makes these kinds of
student accomplishments possible.
It’s Time to refocus the long term financial goals of Saint Bede Academy. As the data enclosed in this
2013 Annual Report will attest, the Academy is solvent and financially stable. In 2008 Academy endowed
funds had amassed an accumulated deficit of $1,454,659. The borrowing from the endowment funds
occurred as a result of years of deficit spending. It has been our goal to “pay off” that debt with budgeted
surpluses. At the end of FY ’13 the debt remaining to the endowed funds was $271,945. Because of this
very manageable pay down amount It’s Time to reprioritize our debt management.
Balanced budgets, paying off debt along with stable student population and the maintenance of our
once aging yet outstanding teaching staff have been our top priorities to this point. Today all of those
priorities although obviously important have proved to be attainable administrative goals. As such the risks
posed to the future of Saint Bede have been diminished significantly. The question now becomes how to
deal with the problem that now poses the most significant risk to the Academy’s future. That problem is
quite clearly the venerable 123 year old Academy building. In FY’13 we completed $242,232 worth of
improvements to the Academy and its environs. All of this work was done as a result of a budget that had
a revenue surplus and the generosity of the Saint Bede family.
It’s Time to focus our priorities and energies on revitalizing the Academy building and thus ensuring the
future of quality catholic education in the Benedictine tradition in the Illinois Valley and beyond. Our plan
for transforming the Academy into a state-of-the-art educational facility that will last for another hundred
years combines sound fiscal practices as well as support from the entire Saint Bede family. Donna Aleksy
and her Development team will be reaching out to friends and alumni asking for a commitment to help
ensure the future of Saint Bede Academy. It will take all of us working together to guarantee that Saint Bede
Academy will continue to offer a college preparatory education that produces outstanding post-secondary
students for the next 100 years.

John Duncan- Gives of his
John
Duncan
says
his
relationship with Saint Bede is a
common one. He, like so many
others, was “conceived in the womb”
as a Bruin. He can recall attending
Saint Bede functions and events
growing up. Until the day came,
when he was finally able to ride
down the lane knowing his first day
of high school at the Academy had
arrived, and he too became a fullfledged Bruin. Duncan says he spent
the next four years making friends
that last a lifetime and learning
how to work through life’s future
tribulations. He continued to live
a BRUIN life guided by the spirit of
Saint Benedict and then passed that
on to his children. His connection
to Saint Bede was further enhanced
when his Uncle David, who not only
was a monk, became the fourth
Abbot of the Academy. One could
say that the Duncan’s have the Saint
Bede spirit in their blood!
It’s because of this love for the
Academy and the blessings he received
being a part of it, that John Duncan
takes great pride in using his God given
talent to contribute to Saint Bede. He
feels fortunate that his parents were able
to give him the Catholic education he
received growing up, and feels that with
those blessings comes an obligation to
return his own time and talent to enable
others to have the same opportunities
that he was provided.
John is a 1966 graduate of Saint
Bede. He was also on the Saint Bede
school board and served as President,
and after his time on the board was over,
his wife became a member. Duncan has
been a very loyal confidant and advisor
to the Academy in many legal matters.
John is a partner at Herbolsheimer,
Lannnon, Henson, Duncan, Gift, Eiten,
& Hints PC in Lasalle, IL. He has been a

consultant not only to the Academy, but
to the Abbey as well. He was extremely
supportive and energetic with the initial
plan of a new school building. John
has always been generously and readily
available to help. His guidance over the
years has been a blessing and, needless
to say, more than accommodating.
John likes to joke with his friends
outside the so-called Saint Bede
family that “it is only a matter of
time before everyone becomes a
Bruin!” With that being said, he
also believes that in the past 1520 years he has noticed increased
involvement from many who never
attended Saint Bede, and he finds it
not only heartwarming how they’ve
embraced the Bedan Spirit but also
been unconditionally welcomed into
the Saint Bede family. In the public
schools, involvement is limited;
whereas at Saint Bede not only is it
important but is welcomed and very
much encouraged. John Duncan not
only gets involved, but contributes
his talents and more, any time he
can. “It is by the giving of ourselves
to something of great meaning that
we develop a good feeling of selfworth and a way to fulfill our sense
of purpose in life.”
When asked why Duncan gets
involved at Saint Bede, his response
was simple; “You have nothing to lose
and everything to gain.” He believes
that it is because of involvement that
new friendships are developed. In the
end, God has blessed each and every
one of us with a talent we truly excel
at. It is up to us what we do with that
gift. John is certain that “God put us on
this earth to do something, Saint Bede
gives us the opportunity to accomplish
that purpose.” John Duncan found his
passion, and he not only uses it every
day in life, but uses it to better the lives
of Saint Bede Academy. John’s “Spirit
of Saint Bede” shines through his work
and dedication, and “will stay with us
forever” through his contributions to
the Academy. Therefore, the Saint Bede
community past, present, and future
would like to thank John Duncan for
everything he does!
Saint Bede Abbey & Academy
Saint Bede AcademyClass of 1961
Treasure
Give of their
Jim Dietz described Father Allen
as “little in stature, but big at
heart” and, simply, that is why he
and his fellow 1961 graduating
classmates of Saint Bede Academy
knew a scholarship in his name was
the perfect way they could give
back. That is exactly what they did
when they created the Father Allen
Scholarship Program in 2003. Jim
and his classmates got to know
Father Allen and form a special bond
with him over the years they spent
at the Academy. This bond was
so strong even after leaving Saint
Bede, that many former students
Father Allen Mattingly
had Father Allen preside over their
wedding and baptize their children.
Father Allen grew up near Paris, IL. He was born in 1930 the 7th of
10 children. He spent four years as a boarding student at Saint Bede
Academy, graduating in 1948. From there he continued with two
more years at the Academy’s junior college. In 1951, he graduated
from Saint John’s University, Collegeville. For almost thirty years at
the Academy he acquired many titles; English teacher and chairman
of the department, prefect of boarding and day students, director of
Development, sacristan, and groundskeeper, just to name a few. As a
teacher his passion for literature, especially Shakespeare, encouraged his
students to find the love of reading. As one of the two priests in charge
of the freshmen class, he helped the students become acclimated to
the Academy. While a part of the Development Office, he renewed
contacts with former students and was graciously received. During
his time caring for the Saint Bede grounds he helped to create and
build the Coy Pond Garden in the monastery area. Father Allen had a
personal connection to Saint Bede and the students and it was obvious
the feeling was mutual.
Through Father Allen, the 1961 graduating class had a common link
not only to one another but to Saint Bede as well. This scholarship gives
them a mutual cause or focus, and a unique way to say Thank You for
what they feel they gained while at the Academy. Jim Dietz described
his relationship with Saint Bede as a “56 year love affair.” He also feels
that “the lessons I learned and friends I made have been instrumental in
who I am and vital to any of the successes I’ve had in my life.” He along
with his classmates give back to Saint Bede and the community because
much of what they have can be directly attributed to what they were
given during their years at the Academy.
One year following Father Allen’s premature death, due to
complications after surgery, Jim sent out a letter of interest to his entire
class about the possibility of starting a scholarship. He received amazing
feedback, and immediately the class of ’61 began a yearly letter
campaign. By 2005, they had raised enough money and for the past
eight years the Father Allen Scholarship has been awarded. Currently
there are two committees that head the program; the Scholarship
Committee, headed by Bill Murphy, who weigh through the list of
candidates, and the Finance Committee, who care for the investments
and oversees the funds. All 8th grade students in the area, who plan to
attend Saint Bede, can apply for the scholarship. The selection process
includes recommendation letters, essays written by the students, and
eventually a winner is chosen.
The Father Allen Scholarship is a true testament of the affect that
time spent at the Academy can have on not only one individual, but an
entire graduating class as a whole. This class of Saint Bede Alumni has
definitely raised the bar in “giving back” and the Academy, many former
8th grade students, and future freshmen are grateful for it! The idea
that just a little can go a long way is evident here. When asked about
encouraging others to get involved with Saint Bede, Dietz believed in
the ‘pay it forward’ concept. “Be honest, look into your soul, look at
your life and all that you received from your association with Saint Bede,
and if you have the financial where with all to do so, you MUST help
those who are coming behind you to garner the same experience and
benefits that you were blessed with while either attending the Academy
or being associated with it in anyway.”
The Saint Bede Class of 1961 has benefitted so many students and
many more to come, and have chosen to do so while also honoring a
great man. The Father Allen Scholarship Program shows how the work
of a few can affect so many. For that and so much more, Saint Bede
Academy salutes and thanks the Class of ’61!

“family members” who have made it their intention to create and leave a legacy through their generosity to
Saint Bede, so in 2011 we established the Abbot Philip Davey Legacy Society.
On Thursday, September 12th
we held the Induction Luncheon.
The following alumni and friends
of Saint Bede were inducted
as new members:
Raymond Duncan
Joseph Flaherty

We sincerely thank you
for your lifetime commitment of
friendship and generosity to
