Benedictine Military School and the Benedictine Priory in Savannah are hosting six Saint Vincent Archabbey junior monks (Brother Gilbert, Brother Francisco, Brother Angelo, Brother Gregory, Brother Xavier, Brother Sean), and one postulant (Tim, who is a candidate for admission into the religious order).
The visitors arrived in two cars Monday, January 11. Some will return to Latrobe, Pa., (home of Saint Vincent Archabbey and Saint Vincent College) on Saturday, while others will remain until Jan. 23.
Last week, they met with BC Principal Mr. Jacob Horne and BC Director of Curriculum Mr. Peter Newman. They also spent time with Cadets in BC Gym.
Other activities on the agenda include tours throughout Savannah (including to Leopold's Ice Cream) and Tybee Island, as well as in-class observation of our teachers and Cadets. At 5 p.m. Sunday, they will attend Mass with youth groups at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church. They'll also attend BC basketball and wrestling events during their stay.

Joanne Rogers was a frequent visitor to the Fred Rogers Center at Saint Vincent College, as well as to events on campus, from Pittsburgh Steelers Training Camp to concerts to interactions with students, to the Yo-Yo Ma Fred Rogers Legacy Award presentation. A select sampling of photos from her many visits include pictures with Yo-Yo Ma, David Hartman, James Ragan, Art Rooney, LeVar Burton, to Fred's biographer Maxwell King, as well as when she received an honorary doctorate from Saint Vincent from then college President Martin Bartel, O.S.B., now the 12th Archabbot of Saint Vincent, to her friendship with the 11th Archabbot, Douglas Nowicki, O.S.B. Other concerts she attended included those of André Watts, Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, organist Alan Morrison, son of her dear friend Jeannine Morrison, with whom she was a frequent duo-piano partner. Her spirit was evident in her robust laugh, and her joie de vivre. Fred will be glad to see her.
