  • This rustic collectible folk art piece was made in Mexico by artisans from Patzcuaro, Mexico.

  • Today, St. Benedict is hailed as the father of western monasticism. He is the patron Saint of Europe and of a happy death, and the Holy Father of the Benedictine Order. What would western civilization look like without St. Benedict? It is impossible to say – but for more than one thousand five hundred years monks across the world have carried on his great work forever living his directive, that in all things God may be glorified.
