About Us
|
St. Bernard Abbey is a vibrant monastic community of Catholic men who follow the 1500-year Benedictine tradition of worship and work through daily prayer and service in ministries that include education, hospitality, parish ministry and spiritual retreats. The monks were sent to Alabama in the 1870's as missionary pastors and teachers to the new German-Catholic settlers in the state. The Abbey in Cullman was founded on September 29, 1891 as a permanent home for the monastery and school. |
