Benedictine Sisters of Sacred Heart Monastery, Cullman, Alabama. Index.
Description
Tradition and History
The religious order founded by St. Benedict has endured through the centuries striving to meet the needs of the Church as they arose.
In the 1850's Benedictine nuns left their cloister in Eichstätt, Bavaria, to come to America to educate the children of German immigrants. By 1900 the need for Catholic education was felt in Alabama, and Sacred Heart Convent was founded. For many years this has been acenter of prayer and education, and the place from which sisters were sent to staff schools in Alabama and surrounding dioceses.
