The Rule of St. Benedict
The spirit behind St. Gregory's comes through a 1500 year-old tradition, reaching back to St. Benedict and beyond.
Through seminars with faculty and staff, several monks have been sharing this story with the university community. I want to continue that with this page, each week presenting a section of the Rule of St. Benedict, with some reflections.
Your response
