| Abstract | In the late 19th century, German monks of the Order of Saint Benedict who had previously settled in Pennsylvania traveled to Alabama to minister to German immigrants who were colonizing the area. They established Saint Bernard Abbey in Cullman, Alabama, in 1891. The next year, Ambrose Reger came from Germany to join the fledgling monastery. This is Reger's account of the abbey’s founding and early years. |
