History
Federation of St. Benedict

The Federation of St. Benedict was established in 1947 by the Sisters of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, Minn., to give moral, spiritual and inspirational support to each monastic community and also to strengthen the Benedictine charism around the world. All of the Benedictine monasteries listed below share a similar and rich history, beginning in Eichstätt, Bavaria, with Mother Benedicta Riepp as foundress.

Today, there are 12 independent monasteries included as members of the Federation. Eleven on these members were founded by the Sisters of Saint Benedict, St. Joseph, Minn.
