The world could use a little more kindness, don’

The world could use a little more kindness, don’t you think? Even in times of social distancing, there are simple ways to show you care: call a friend, check on an elderly neighbor, or create a chalk art message of hope on your sidewalk. What are some other ideas you have to spread kindness? Share them in the comments!

“All work is sacred”—we love this reflection

“All work is sacred”—we love this reflection by Jeff Dols, OblSB (and the new Director of Mission Advancement at St. Paul’s Monastery!) on how being an Oblate of St. Paul’s Monastery has enriched his Christian life. Whatever the work you do today, know that it is in sacred service to God.
About this series: Sister Mary Lou asked our Oblates—men and women who made a formal commitment to Benedictine prayer and values and choose to live a life based on the Gospel and the Rule of St. Benedict—what Living the Oblate Way of Life looks like for them. Check back regularly to read more of their experiences.

For more information about oblate formation, contact Sister Mary Lou at 651-777-8181 or mldummer@stpaulsmonastery. You can read more, too, at: stpaulsmonastery.org/membership/oblates/

The Monastery welcomes new Mission Advancement Dir

The Monastery welcomes new Mission Advancement Director Jeff Dols, OblSB. Jeff has deep roots at the Monastery, which began when he attended Sister Virginia Matter’s Centering Prayer retreat. As his relationship with the Monastery continued, Jeff was asked to serve on several Monastery advisory committees. Eventually, he felt called to Oblate Formation and, during his formation year, discovered that he was related to Sister Marie Rademacher! He was blessed to spend time with Sister Marie to learn more about their family and her journey as a Benedictine Sister. Jeff has both corporate and nonprofit work experience, which includes service as the executive director of the Franciscan Spirituality Center in LaCrosse, WI.
