 Fr. Aloysius Plaisance, O.S.B., (1920-1992) history professor at St. Bernard College, recounts his 1977 pilgrimage to the Holy Land in his own inimitable style, redolent with  historical insight and wry humor.


Father Aloysius was a Benedictine monk and priest of Saint Bernard Abbey in Cullman, Alabama. Holding a Ph.D. in History from St. Louis University, Father Aloysius served as Professor of History, Chairman of the History Department, and, eventually, President of the College at Saint Bernard College, the school owned and operated by the monks of Saint Bernard Abbey. Throughout his life, Father Aloysius was an avid hiker, biker, traveler and writer, recounting many of his adventures on the road in a travel column written for the local newspaper, The Cullman Times. This volume presents his account of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land at Easter-time in 1977. Father Aloysius’ extensive knowledge of and enthusiasm for history, as well as his love for the Church and the Bible, shine through his narrative. Come join Father Aloysius on a pilgrim tour of the homeland of Jesus!

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
