About the Exhibit
With Lamps Burning, the monumental historical record of Saint Benedict’s Monastery written by Sister Grace McDonald, was published in 1957. S. Grace stated: “The purpose of the book is to trace the growth of the convent of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, Minn., from its establishment to the present.”
Now, 68 years later, as the sisters of that monastery prepare to build a new, smaller home in St. Joseph, this exhibit documents the continuation of the Benedictine monastic life of prayer and work in new ways, giving tribute to the fact that the lamps are still burning!
