The Benedictine Medal

Medals, rosaries, crosses, icons and items of similar nature have for centuries been a way of expressing devotion to God and reverence for the saints.  The Benedictine Medal is no exception to this type of devotion.  In may be worn about the neck, attached to the scapular or the Rosary, or otherwise carried about one's person.  Often it is placed in the fields, the foundations of buildings or attached to automobiles to call down God's blessing and the protection of St. Benedict.   

On April 28, 2009, as the concrete floor of the main floor was being poured, Fr. Mac placed four of these medals at the four corners of our sanctuary.
