This is the story of St Meinrad who was killed by robbers at his hermitage in Switzerland. People who prayed before his relics received many favors. Eventually his hermitage became the famous Abbey and Church of Our Lady of Einsiedeln. Then, a thousand years after St. Meinrad’s death, some monks from Einsiedeln came to the New World to begin a new abbey; it was named St. Meinrad’s. It began as a log cabin near Vincennes, Indiana, but as years went by, it became one of the largest religious houses in the United States. St. Meinrad is the patron of this Abbey; may he watch over it, guide it, and send it many graces and blessings.
