Prior Leven Harton ’06

Generations of Ravens know or at least know of Prior Leven Harton, Class of 2006, from St. Benedict’s Abbey. But many may not know that what started as a simple (somewhat shallow) college perspective became a life-changing encounter with God.

In this episode of Always a Raven, host Janelle Menz talks with Prior Leven about the inspiring professors, authentic friendships, and quiet rhythm of daily prayer that led him to a calling far greater than he ever imagined possible.

Now Prior of St. Benedict’s Abbey, he reflects on the unexpected path from uncertain freshman to monk, teacher, and spiritual leader. Along the way, he shares why community matters and how faith grows through intentional living.

Listen now to hear how one unexpected “yes” changed everything.
