  • Saint Louis Abbey Introduction the Spirit Of
    SAINT LOUIS ABBEY THE OBLATES OF SAINT LOUIS ABBEY INTRODUCTION The Oblates of St. Louis Abbey are a group of lay Catholic and other Christian men and women who seek God in a deeper prayer life through the Rule of Saint Benedict, under the patronage of the monastic community of the Abbey. The group is lay in spirit and practice, and is self-sustaining. It is independent, without ties to other groups or to others’ works and practices. Oblates choose Our Lady as their patron, together with Saint Benedict and Saint Louis, and rely on her example and intercession in following Christ. THE SPIRIT OF SAINT BENEDICT Oblates seek to realize the spirit of Saint Benedict in their lay life situations. They seek: to incorporate Benedictine ways of prayer, suitably modified, into their daily lives; to see Christ in their family members and neighbors; to appreciate that their vocations in life include their daily work and prayer; to gain guidance from God through the daily practice of Lectio Divina, the daily reading from the Little Divine Office (or an equivalent), and the study of the Rule of Saint Benedict. COMMITMENT Oblates of Saint Louis Abbey are called to make a commitment to the Benedictine way. After a period as a candidate, a person may ask to make his or her final Oblation, but those who prefer to move more slowly may attend the meetings as Companion Members for an extended period of time. Oblate groups will number about twelve each. Oblates and Companion Members will seek to be faithful to the weekly meetings, daily Lectio Divina and the Little Divine Office.

    THE SAINT LOUIS ABBEY JOURNAL 2008-09 Achievements and Saint Louis Abbey was founded through the close cooperation betweenAwards Benedictine monks of Ampleforth Abbey in England and Saint Louis laymen who, in the early 1950s, had a vision of building and maintaining a Catholic college preparatory school of the highest order and supporting a Benedictine monastery to run that school. In 1955 that vision became a reality. Today the Abbey consists of a one hundred fifty acre campus in West Saint Louis County with a monastic community that operates a day school for talented and motivated young men in grades seven through twelve, and a parish of the Archdiocese of Saint Louis. The heart of the Abbey is centered in the monks, the Benedictine Rule and the vow of stability taken by the monks to remain at the Abbey for life.

  • Some Sources for English Benedictine History
    SOME SOURCES FOR ENGLISH BENEDICTINE HISTORY by DOM VINCENT MARRON T h is article concerns the history of the English Benedictine Congregation in particular during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when all the communities which made up the Con­ gregation were living abroad and sending monks to England to serve on the mission. In recent years, the study of Catholicism in England during these centuries has intensified, and many are now engaged in research into Recusant history. When, as a result of all this labour, the records are known and understood, an assess­ ment may become possible. In such an assessment the part played by the clergy is bound to be an important factor, and among the clergy the Benedictines, though less numerous than the secular priests or the Jesuits, are worthy of consideration.1 There is at once a difficulty. The records of the Congregation are to be found not only in England but in many places in Europe. The scope, importance and exact location of those that have sur­ vived the upheavals of the past are known only to a few. Before any history can be attempted, a systematic account must be given of the extant records. My purpose here is to say where some records are today and to suggest where others might be found. The account given will, no doubt, prove incomplete, and may serve as a starting point for a more systematic account. Before considering the records themselves, it will be well to rehearse, for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with the subject, the origin of the term ‘English Congregation’.

  • Aim High St. Louis 2018 Annual Report BETTER FUTURES BEGIN in 6TH GRADE
    Aim high st. Louis 2018 annual report BETTER FUTURES BEGIN IN 6TH GRADE Dear Friends, In all, 2018 gave us 467 reasons to be proud: 467 kids getting up early, voluntarily attending Aim High’s “summer school” with the results of expanding their vision of themselves and leveraging incredible learning opportunities on their path to educational and personal success. A few highlights: We launched a new partnership with University City, welcoming our first class of 40 Achievers from the district. After 18 months of research and planning, piloted The 9th Grade Academy – a focused redesign of our final year students’ program experience - intended to better support their successful transition to high school, providing more exposure to post-secondary and career opportunities and enhanced leadership development. Outdoor education took a more prominent role, combining science and exposure to outdoor classrooms through partnerships with The College School, Litzinger Ecology Center, Shaw Nature Reserve and the YMCA. Middle school is such a pivotal time in childhood, a time when young people are making critical decisions about who they are and what is ‘for them’…as well as what isn’t. We’re proud of our 467 young people, as young as 10 years old, who made the decision that education was for them, that hard work and dedicated persistence in reaching their goals was for them, that Aim High was for them. We thank you, too, for your belief and confidence in our 467 students, our mission and our ability together to change lives and create better outcomes

The community recently has been doing some very fruitful work on the theme of human development. The one word that keeps coming up is encounter. This has made me pause and think about the importance of this word in the living out of the life of our community. We each of us encounter people every day, some of whom have a major impact on our lives and how we live it out, whether it be family members, friends or work colleagues or maybe even a chance encounter. Looking back on my own life, I can think of some very special encounters which transformed me. The most important one happened when I joined a prayer group formed in preparation for the youth gathering at Murrayfield during the visit of St Pope John Paul II in 1982.
