On July 11, we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Benedict, the 6th-century founder of Western monasticism and author of The Rule of St. Benedict—a timeless guide for living a life of balance, faith and community. His values of humility, simplicity, and care for others continue to inspire our mission today.

We give thanks for his lasting legacy and the inspiration it provides in all we do. For a special prayer for the Feast of St. Benedict, go to https://www.benedictineliving.org/news/honoring-the-feast-of-st-benedict-july-11/. #

Cheers to adventures from the comfort of home! 🎉🌍
