Kudos to Our Alumni

This series highlights alumni given kudos by others.

As we all continue to grapple with the effects of the deadly virus, which has taken our world hostage for the last year, few places are as vulnerable as monasteries. Sister Belinda Monahan, OSB, recently had the opportunity to share her monastic community’s story with Global Sisters Report. Sister Belinda, who is currently taking Saint John’s School of Theology and Seminary classes online, is an accomplished theologian and member of the St. Scholastica Monastery in Chicago. The pandemic reminded Monahan of what truly brings her small Benedictine community together, their reliance on God and each other. Read her inspiring story of resilience and maintaining community through adversity below:
