The evening concluded with an interesting speech from Lorcan O’Brien (OP 18), in which he reflected upon how The Rule of St Benedict had greatly contributed to his formation, and provided him with a stable foundation for the future.

The Headmaster, Andrew Johnson, updated OPs on the current state of play at St Benedict’s and thanked them for their continuing loyalty and support. He outlined recent successes and developments at the school, including the growing support from OPs with school fundraising projects.
