Christian Brothers Employee Benefit Trust History
The Christian Brothers Employee Benefit Trust (CBEBT) was established on January 1,1977, by the
Christian Brothers. It began in 1966 as a collective effort to provide a comprehensive package of Employee
Benefits to the employees of the Christian Brothers schools. As the news spread of the benefits and savings
received by participating in a large group, it was opened in 1977 to any Catholic institution registered in the
Kenedy Catholic Directory nationwide.
The CBEBT has evolved into a cooperative effort of Catholic organizations continuously working together to
provide a package of benefits for their employees in a cost-effective manner.
The CBEBT is governed by a board of Trustees who have been elected by the members of the Trust. The
Trustees have contracted with Christian Brothers Services to act as the Plan Administrator for the Trust.
Health Benefit Services is the division of Christian Brothers Services that administers all the benefits
plans funded by the Trust.
