Abbot Ambrose Reger, O.S.B, (1872-1938) emigrated from his native Germany in

1892 to join the fledgling Benedictine monastery of Saint Bernard Abbey in Cullman,

Alabama. More than forty years later, having been elected the third Abbot of his

community, he had an opportunity to return for a visit to his homeland, now under

Nazi rule. The main purpose of his trip in 1937 was to attend the Congress of

Benedictine Abbots in Rome, but first he paid a visit to his homeland, and afterwards

also made a brief pilgrimage to Lourdes. In this volume, he gives a fascinating account

of his travels in a continent on the verge of war.

What Our Visitors are Saying


​Not Catholic? Don't let that stop you. The experience is universal. Brother Joseph's miniatures capture Western even some eastern images. The out door setting invites thought and meditation. Bells reminded me of a call for prayer in Cairo. The birds will gladden any nature lover's heart. Peaceful for those who yearn for it but no doubt punctuated by Catholic tradition and artifacts: December 2019

Beautiful place! The staff is helpful and courteous. The gift shop has a very nice variety of religious items.: December 2019
