“Eternal rest grant unto them … and let perpetual light shine upon them.”
Starting with All Souls Day, the entire month of November is dedicated to prayer for souls. Abbot James Albers, OSB, urged Benedictine College students and friends of the Abbey to pray for deceased monks, loved ones — and those in Purgatory who have no one to pray from them.
The monks at the Abbey, along with the Benedictine Sisters at Mount St. Scholastica, are what make Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, Benedictine.
Abbot James is the ninth abbot of St. Benedict’s Abbey, serving in this role since December 2012. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Benedictine College, which he attended as a fourth-generation legacy student, graduating in the spring of 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism and theology.
Founded in 1858, Benedictine College is a Catholic, Benedictine, residential, liberal arts college located on the bluffs above the Missouri River in Atchison, Kansas. The school is honored to have been named one of America’s Best Colleges by U.S. News & World Report, the best private college in Kansas by The Wall Street Journal, and one of the top Catholic colleges in the nation by First Things magazine and the Newman Guide. It prides itself on outstanding academics, extraordinary faith life, strong athletic programs, and an exceptional sense of community and belonging. Benedictine College is dedicated to transforming culture in America through its mission to educate men and women within a community of faith and scholarship.
