The dynamic, larger-than-life,
bronze statue of Saint Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western monasticism and
patron saint of the Catholic Benedictine order, stands near the Abbey
Church. The statue, by Russian-born artist Simon Kogan, is a reminder of
the 1,500-year-old Benedictine heritage that is part of the fabric of
Saint Martin's. Among the hallmarks are hospitality, service and a
commitment to work, prayer and learning. |
