Father Aloysius Plaisance, O.S.B., (1920-1992) 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 his travels throughout the British Isles on his trusty ten-speed bicycle during a fifteen-month Sabbatical at Oxford. Come join Father Aloysius on an eventful cycling tour of England, Wales, and Ireland! (Sorry, he skipped Scotland this time out!)

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
