Test Your Benedictine Knowledge

 

What St. Vincent Monk is responsible for today's Benedictine medal?...The answer is: Rt. Rev. Boniface Krug, O.S.B. (1838-1909). Abbot Boniface was a native of Baltimore, Maryland and originally a monk of St. Vincent Archabbey until he was chosen to become prior and latter archabbot of Montecassino. The image to the right shows Abbot Krug, on his knees at prayer. This painting can be found in the Archabbey Basilica Crypt.
