What Is Your Legacy?

Every gift helps our Mission thrive! You can create your legacy with a gift by will or trust or other planned gifts like charitable annuities, or beneficiary designations. Your generosity ensures a lasting impact for those we serve.

The Sister Grace Marie Braun Legacy Society was created to recognize supporters who have named Benedictine Foundation in their estate plans or make lifetime income gifts. Your planned gift to Benedictine Foundation honors Sister Grace Marie’s profound legacy and becomes a part of a tradition built on faith, compassion and unwavering dedication. Thank you!

Honoring a Legacy of Leadership and Compassion: The Vision of Sister Grace Marie Braun

As the ninth Prioress of St. Scholastica Monastery, Sister Grace Marie led with grace and foresight, guiding a community of 325 Sisters with steadfast commitment. Her tenure, spanning twelve years, was marked by transformative initiatives that continue to impact the lives of the people we serve today.

Under her visionary leadership, Sister Grace Marie’s pioneering spirit laid the foundation for the establishment of Benedictine (formerly Benedictine Health System) in 1985, a monumental milestone in the realm of senior care. This pivotal moment paved the way for the inception of the Benedictine Foundation, perpetuating her legacy of service and compassion for generations to come.

The Sister Grace Marie Braun Legacy Society stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Sister Grace Marie Braun, providing a platform to recognize and celebrate those who share her commitment to advancing the Mission of Benedictine Living Communities.
