A PROUD TRADITION OF PARTNERSHIP

t was just a year ago when Saint
Johns kicked off its current capi-
tal campaign entitled "Forward
Ever Forward" with the abbey and the
university partnering together in this
important endeavor. We rejoice in over
150 years of pastoral, educational, and
cultural leadership and service to the
world, and we look forward to a future
where this tradition continues.
As Abbot John said last fall, with
this capital campaign, Saint Johns
wishes to position itself for ever greater
service to a rapidly changing student
demographic, a dynamically new learn-
ing environment, and unique challenges
for the Church and society. The abbey
campaign is part of the Saint Johns
University, Hill Museum and Manu-
script Library (HMML), and School of
TheologySeminary campaign. Though
the abbeys goal in this campaign is
modest compared to the universitys,
the funds we wish to raise are crucially
important to a healthy future for us.
At last falls abbeys campaign kickoff
event, the abbeys subprior, Br. David
Paul Lange, OSB, gave an inspiring
presentation introducing the goals of the
abbeys campaign. Much of what fol-
lows in this newsletter is taken from that
address. I invite you to spend time look-
ing over the newsletter and considering
how you might be able to partner with
the abbey in accomplishing these goals.
We cant overstate how essential your
support is to realizing the innovative
programs that are part of our imagina-
tion for the future. We need your help.

ve monks to the Minnesota Territory.
They settled along the banks of the
Mississippi in Saint Cloud and shortly
after moved to the site known as the In-
dianbush overlooking Lake Sagatagan.
In those early years, the monks, along
with everybody else, endured great ad-
versity: bitterly cold winters, isolation,
natural disasters such as the grasshop-
per plague, and economic hardship, but
they persisted. And the rest, as they say,
is history. From its humble beginnings,
Saint Johns became a thriving Benedic-
tine monastery with inuence through-
out Minnesota, across the country, and
around the world.
Today, this same determination, this
desire to make a difference, coupled
with an abiding love of God and a
steadfast commitment to the Church
and to the larger society, is the inspira-
tion behind Saint Johns Abbey. That
spirit is present in all our apostolates,
in the Prep School, the University, the
Liturgical Press, in our parish aposto-
late, in Trinity Benedictine Monastery
in Japan, in the ecumenical and interre-
ligious work ministry that we do.
The entire Saint Johns community is
still invigorated by Bonifaces pioneer-
ing spirit. He made his share of mis-
takes but he was never daunted by his
failures. Our forebears took to heart his
bold visionForward, always forward,
everywhere forward!and so do we.
In a rapidly changing world Saint
Johns is constantly renewing and
reinventing itself to meet the needs of
people. We have been blessed by a long
tradition of faith, innovation, and excel-
lence that began with the establishment
of the monastery, seminary, prepara-
tory school, and a liberal arts college.
Over the years, Saint Johns has become
known for its leadership roles in theo-
logical education, liturgical renewal,
ecumenism, interfaith dialogue, liberal
arts education, the holistic development
of students, its commitment to environ-
mental stewardship, and the preserva-
tion of arts and culture.
Other Saint Johns initiatives include
the rst station for what would become
Minnesota Public Radio, the Jay Phil-
lips Center for Interfaith Learning, the
Hill Museum & Manuscript Library,
the Saint Johns University Pottery
Studio, the Saint Johns Boys Choir,
the Saint Johns Outdoor University
(Arboretum), the National Catholic
Youth Choir, and The Saint Johns
Bible, to name a few. In naming these
I am not trying to give you a grocery
list of achievements but am backing up
the claim that Saint Johns continues to
be a thoughtful, energized, and inno-
vative community. You will also note
that I have bracketed chapter seven in
the Rule of Saint Benedict on humility!
Dont worrynot for long.
Last fall we publicly announced the
abbey portion of the total Saint Johns
capital campaignForward Ever
Forward. The goals of this campaign
will strengthen the abbeys ability to
respond to the needs of this new day
with condence, energy, and creative
imagination. We are and want to be an
essential leaven in the Church and in
the larger culture.
I point to three elements of our cam-
paign that have special urgency. We are
in the process of renewing the Breuer
monastery building that has served us
the campaign for saint johns abbey:
Its All About Mission
Abbot John Klassen, OSB, PhD
S
aint Johns was founded by an
enterprising, energetic monk-priest
with ambitious dreams, an indomitable
spirit, and a bold plan. Archabbot Boni-
face Wimmer, OSB, was a true pioneer.
In 1846 Father Boniface and a band
of eighteen young aspirants to the
Benedictine life left Rotterdam. The
passage across the Atlantic Ocean on
the steamship
U.S. Iowa was
turbulent and
harrowing. Upon
his arrival in
New York City,
Father Boniface
was greeted with
discouragement by several priests who
tried to persuade him to abandon his
plans. Go back to Germany! Monastic
life will never work here! Fortunately
for us, he persevered.
It was on October 24, 1846, that
Boniface invested those eighteen men
as novices, establishing Saint Vincent
Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania,
the rst Benedictine monastery in the
United States. But his vision did not end
there. He went on to found ten Benedic-
tine abbeys in the United States. At his
death he was praised as The greatest
American missionary of the nineteenth
century. Today, there are over thirty
abbeys and monasteries that take their
roots from Archabbot Wimmer, includ-
ing Saint John's Abbey.
In 1856 Archabbot Wimmer sent
Archabbot Boniface Wimmer

well for sixty years. As of this writing we
have just completed the rst step in that re-
newal, the replacement of a tired, worn-out
elevator. However, we have a long way to go
to obtain the funding for the re-articulation
of the buildings HVAC system, for making
it truly energy conservative and efcient, and
in updating the building to serve Saint Johns
for the next fty years.
A second key element of our campaign
is reinventing our program for attracting
candidates to our monastic community. In
this time of rapid technological change, the
ubiquitous nature of social media, and the
importance of the Internet, it is more of a
challenge to lift ones visibility above all the
other competing messages so that one who is
truly called to monastic life is even aware of
what a monastic vocation is. What follows
in this newsletter is a description of a new,
integrated approach to creating this mes-
sage, and then attracting those who express
an interest in a monastic vocation.
A third element is the creation of an
endowment for land stewardship. Anybody
who knows Saint Johns is aware of the
phenomenal beauty of the campus, the hard-
wood forest, the lakes, and the ecosystem
that these represent. At present the annual
required funding for renewing the forest
and caring for the land comes from the
abbeys general budget as a line item. This
is an ongoing cost that will become increas-
ingly difcult to fund. As a society, we have
tended to defer the costs of caring for the
environment to the future. As a Benedictine
community, our approach needs to and will
be proactive.
As you read this newsletter I invite you to
join us as we continue the important work
started by Archabbot Boniface Wimmer more
than 150 years ago. We are in search of the
next band of pioneers who will ensure that
Saint Johns thrives and soars. With your sup-
port we can shape the course of Saint Johns
and our world for generations to come.

4 Abbey Development Newsletter
I
n the Rule of Saint Benedict, a
guide written for living out the
gospels, Saint Benedict instructs his
monks that they should live by the
work of their own hands. One might
ask, then, why exactly does Saint
Johns Abbey need your help with
this Forward Ever Forward capital
campaign?
In Saint Benedicts time, monaster-
ies simply ran a farm to provide for
themselves and their few guests the
food and other necessities for living in
a small, quiet community. Now these
1,500-plus years after Saint Bene-
dict, we monks of Saint Johns nd
ourselves in a much different world
and in a much different situation. If
Saint Johns were merely just a small
monastery, we probably could man-
age ne with just operating our own
farm as we did in our early years. In
a few places around the world today
Benedictine monks do live almost
entirely by the work of their own
hands as they did in Benedicts day. If
Saint Johns Abbey were small enough
and there werent tens of thousands of
visitors every year, and there wasnt a
publishing house, and a manuscript-
rescue mission, and a world-renowned
church, and a handwritten Bible, and
an abbey guesthouse, and an ecumeni-
cal institute, and a liberal arts college
and School of TheologySeminary,
and a prep school, and a good number
of parishes, chaplaincies, and mission
outreachnot to mention outreach to
monasteries all around the worldthe
answer might just be Yes, the monks
at Saint Johns Abbey could live by the
work of their own hands as in Bene-
dicts time. We might be able to grow
and raise our own food, maintain a
few small buildings on our own, and
live off the grid away from everyone
else. But, obviously, this isnt the case
with Saint Johns Abbey. Our beliefs
are the same as they were in Saint
Benedicts time, but our outreach,
support, and sponsorship of all these
programs and endeavors makes Saint
Johns Abbey one of the most involved,
dynamic, active, and inuential mon-
asteries in the world.
Inspired by our founder, Archabbot
Boniface Wimmer, OSB, who, over
150 years ago, coined the phrase
Forward, always forward, every-
where forward, the monks of Saint
Johns Abbey continue to be inspired
by our forebears and seek to respond
to the worlds deepest hungers for
learning, for believing, and for hoping
in the future.
From ministering to immigrant
Catholics in what was then the new
Territory of Minnesota back in 1856,
and opening their rst school to ve
local students, the monks have kept
taking the next steps to build and to
serve churches and to provide the best
educational programs. Though they
may have started small, it was never
the intention of the rst monks of
Saint Johns to think small. In 1953, a
little over 100 years from their ar-
rival in central Minnesota, Abbot
Baldwinwhen imagining a future
Abbey and University Church for this
campuswrote in his famous letter,
The Benedictine tradition at its best
challenges us to think boldly. And so
it is here at Saint Johns even today,
some sixty years later.
From the beginning, it has been the
distinct charism of the monks of Saint
Johnsmore so than many other
cloistered monasteriesto engage
directly with people, to teach and
minister to them, to pray with and for
them, to offer respite and sustenance
and inspiration, and to involve them in
all sorts of ways in one ever-changing,
dynamic, collective endeavor to give
glory to God in the short time they
have on earth.
If self-interest and the path of least
resistance were the goal, we would
simply have a dairy farm on our acre-
age to serve the simple needs of the
monks and the few guests who might
happen by.
However, the kinds of endeavors
Saint Johns undertakes require enor-
mous time and effort and great sacri-
ce. But because these endeavors are
good and holy, they also bring great
joy. The monks are proud of what has
been accomplished, while also real-
izing that what has been accomplished
has been achieved only with the great
help of friends, neighbors, and alums.
If what we are about is worthy, if
dwelling on the Word of God daily is
valuable to the rest of the people of
a charism like no other:
think boldly with us
Br. David Paul Lange, OSB, subprior
Summer 2014 5
God, if teaching and preaching and
ministering and working with our
hands and praying daily for the good
of others is a good thingin short,
if its a good thing that the oasis that
is Saint Johns is herethen its even
better that it involves all of you in
some way. And so we thank you for
your help and ask for your continued
assistance. We now ask that you
partner further with the abbey in
achieving our Forward Ever Forward
campaign goals.
what are our needs

FORWARD EVER FORWARD?
To further the abbeys mission of
faith, leadership, and service to Church
and society, and to sustain its monastic
witness for generations to come, the
abbey seeks support for the following

P
erhaps rst and foremost, given the
innite variety of other vocations
available to young men today, it is
critical that we marshal new resources
and new strategies in attracting the
next generation of vibrant, prayerful,
loving and hardworking monks.
It is as true today as it was in Saint
Benedicts day: Monastic life in the
21st century is a viable and incredibly
blessed way to follow Christ, but its
easy for that message to get drowned
out, to be dismissed for lack of infor-
mation or a meaningful connection.
To make sure men from their mid-20s
to their early 40s all over the country
hear the invitation to monastic life,
we need to build on our strengths and
creativity and devise new strategies
for recruiting new vocations going
forward. With this next generation of
monks, Saint Johns Abbey will have
an even greater future to move ever
forward, and do so with the vibrancy
we envision.
Please help promote monastic voca-
tions with your nancial and prayerful
support.
S
ince our founding, the monks have
taken what can only be called a
more ministerial rather than monetary
view of their service.
Much of the monks work, espe-
cially at the prep school and university,
was offered at low or reduced compen-
sation. Up until the turn of the millen-
nium, when our demographics changed
noticeably, the monks had been giving
back to the prep school and univer-
sity over halfand as much as 80
percentof their salaries, to support
the students in our schools and help
families afford the cost of a strong and
Catholic Benedictine education.
It has been estimated that since the
founding of the university, the monks
of Saint Johns have collectively given
over $40 million out of their salaries to
help with nancial aid especially, and,
as a result, are considered the top do-
nors to both institutions. We are proud
of this contribution and the dedicated
service that has allowed our schools to
become the great and stable institutions
they have become. It is not an under-
statement to say that the prep school
and university are what they are today
because of the monks.
Even when retired, our elderly
monks continue to dedicate their
lives to praying for the many needs of
friends, alums, benefactors, and the
world. They are also still a vital part
of the campus community, living right
here at Saint Johns in the care center in
Saint Raphael Hall.
Having evolved into a leaner com-
munity than we were in 1960, though,
the smaller number of younger monks
need some very real assistance in caring
for the larger number of senior monks
as they grow older and need more care.
Creating and maintaining a nursing
care facility in the monastery comes at
a cost, but, in doing so, we have found
it to be far more cost effective than the
alternative. And we cant imagine not
caring for our senior monks, and any
monk who needs nursing care, right
here at home.
You can show your appreciation
for all that the retired monks have
done through your contribution to this
endowment.

n the last campaign our top priority
and largest goal was the Saint Johns
Abbey Guesthouse and all the pastoral
and spiritual ministry that came with
it for our alums, oblates, friends, and
benefactors, as well as for the broader
Church.
This time, it is essential that we
focus our attention on our own living
quarters, now that the primary resi-
dence designed by Marcel Breuer is
some sixty-ve years old and showing
its age. The monastic residence build-
ing is home to the majority of the 132
monks of the abbey who are serving
as faculty, ministers, administrators,
or are at the Saint Johns School of
TheologySeminary as students prepar-
ing for future service, as well as home
for retired monks not yet in the health
center. The monastery residence also
serves guest monks from around the
world who have come to Saint Johns to
further their education.
Everyone is aware of the upkeep and
ongoing repairs needed to maintain a
home. Built in the late 1950s, the mon-
astery residence is no different. It is in
great need of refurbishing, requiring
new insulated thermal windows, new
electrical wiring, an upgrade to new
energy-efcient mechanical systems,
as well as new plumbing. Given the
building's 66,576 gross square feet,
coupled with the nature of the build-
ing's construction, such upgrades are
not cheap, but they are essential. They
will give the community good housing
for the next 60 years and more while it
continues to serve our schools and the
Church at large.
When we began planning for the
construction of the monastery building
and the Abbey Church in the 1950s,
the monks hired a modernist architect
specically because of his orientation
toward functionalism and an honest
use of materials.
For the rst time in the history
of architecture, a design style had
emerged that matched the philosophy
and theology of a monastic community.
Here, nally, was an aesthetic that
married form with function, which
stripped away everything that wasnt
necessary to the purpose of the build-
ing, and it did so with an honesty
and simplicity and integrity that was
unparalleled in the history of design
and perfectly mirrored our monastic
sensibilities and values.
Fortunately for us, the Marcel
Breuer design for the monastic resi-
dence is still perfectly suited to monas-
tic life. After upgrading the plumbing,
and electricity, and insulation, and
mechanical systems, the shape of the
spaces within it are still worthy of a
monastery. As they are, the rooms are
lled with natural light. The clay-brick
and wooden oors and wall-to-wall
windows speak of a profound regard
for simplicity and nature, for framing
the world around us in a way that has
an uncanny ability to inspire the human
spirit to prayer. The size of the rooms still
encourage living simply, without a lot of
worldly possessions, and to that end the
building still challenges us to remember
who we are and what we are all about.
In short, we cannot imagine living
anywhere else, not if were thinking
practically and economically. To be in
such close proximity to the church, our
schools, and the guesthouse is essential,
and it would be unthinkable to leave
everything behind and build something
else from scratch on the other side of
the lake, as some have suggested. With
some upgrades and renovations, the
Breuer residence will serve us and the
next generation of monks extremely well,
allowing us, in turn, to continue serving
others through our apostolates right here
on campus.
Please consider partnering with us in
this undertaking by donating toward our
funding goal.

hat the land here at Saint Johns
is beautiful is no secret. We are
deeply committed to caring for the part
of creation that has been entrusted to us
through the practice of environmental
stewardship and sustainable living.
From the Rule, Saint Benedict very
clearly counsels his monks to treat all
the goods and vessels of the monastery
as though they were vessels of the altar.
To our way of thinking, this absolutely
includes the land that is shared with
thousands of visitors every year
people who come to hike, sh, ski,
canoe or swim, including 8,000 school
children who visit the arboretum.
If you compare it to the State Park
Trail system, the Chapel Trail that leads
out to the Stella Maris Chapel across
the lake from our main campus is the
most used trail in all of Minnesota.
More people come to hike that trail
than any other trail in the state.

Reforestation of the hardwoods will
be a priority in the coming decades as
certain species will no longer be able to

in Minnesota. We will need to encour-
age the growth of trees that can survive
in warmer temperatures, even as we
maintain the trails and emergency
roads in the woods and wetlands.

only enhance the liturgical function of
the church, but also further improve
the quality of our liturgical organist

gies, and celebrations will be stunning.

issionary outreach has always
been a major and important
part of the work of the monks of Saint
Johns. Originally, Saint Johns was
founded as a mission to care for the
pastoral and educational needs of Ger-
man immigrants, and we have contin-
ued that work in one way or another
for over 150 years.
Our most recent missionary work
is through the Saint Johns Benedic-
tine Volunteer Corps (BVC), founded
in 2003. This program provides Saint
Johns University alumni with volunteer
opportunities at Benedictine monaster-
ies across the world. Volunteers begin
their commitment with a two-week mo-
nastic experience program here at Saint
Johns, followed by an assignment to
another Benedictine monastery (some
current sites include Guatemala, India,
New Jersey, Italy, Ireland, Kenya, Aus-
tralia, and Tanzania). Over the years, a
total of eighteen countries, some with
multiple sites, have served as locations
for BVC assignments; and more than
125 volunteers have provided their ef-
forts in the course of this program.
Once at their program site, BVC
members join the Benedictine religious
host community for meals and for at
least one of the days prayer services or
Mass. Each volunteer then spends be-
tween 30 to 40 hours per week with the
apostolic work of the host monastery.
During the time at their assignment,
not only is the community where they
are serving being helped, but the lives of
the volunteers are immensely inspired
and affected.
You can contribute to the BVC by
your nancial support. One possibility
is to sponsor a volunteer with a $6,000
annual contribution. Such a gift will
cover the cost of one volunteer for one
year. As a sponsor, a volunteer will be
assigned to you and keep in regular
contact with you throughout their ser-
vice. But regardless, either as a sponsor
or just someone who wants to support
this marvelous program through any
range of gift, please consider a donation
to assist with this important outreach
program.

he last campaigns focus was, in
fact, the building of the Abbey
Guesthouse, and it has been such a
wonderful apostolate for Saint Johns
and for all the visitors that have been
welcomed here. It has provided service
and opportunities that have surpassed
our expectations. The guesthouse offers
a new way of approaching and receiv-
ing guests and of delivering ministry.
Visitors to the guesthouse fall into
two main categories: (1) those who
come for spiritual respite and retreats,
and (2) those who are on campus be-
cause of our educational, athletic, ne
arts, or other programs. This especially
includes parents and grandparents visit-
ing their sons or daughters, or alums
here to watch the Johnnies beat the
Tommies, or guests of all kinds who
are here to attend concerts and lectures,
to take a walk through the woods, or
simply to join the monks for prayer.
The Forward Ever Forward cam-
paign will help us provide even more
programming and ensure that no one
ever has to be turned away. We do our
best to honor what Saint Benedict says:

T
he Saint Johns Benedictine
Volunteer Corps (BVC), which
began with only two volunteers,
has grown to the point where 22
recent Johnnie alumni are heading
out to various worldwide locations
to continue the traditions of service,
community living, and prayer. These
young men stand on the shoulders of
those Johnnies who have gone before
them as Benedictine volunteers: 125
alumni in all. Now entering its twelfth
O
ver the past few months abbey
leadership has been carefully
studying the communitys approach
to vocation ministry, and on June 1,
a new model was ofcially launched.
As one might imagine, vocation
ministry has changed dramatically
over the past few years, demanding
a need for a team approach.
Br. Paul-Vincent Niebauer has
returned to the ofce as director.
He is joined by Br. David Allen
as assistant director in charge of
Saint Johns University and campus
ministry relations. Br. Eric Pohlman
will serve as ofce manager, coordi-
nating all scheduling and responding
to rst online contacts. Jason Ziegler
is in charge of communications and
marketing, including website and
social media and all print media.
Brs. David Paul Lange and Simon-
Ho Phan are included among a
number of monks who will serve as
vocation guidesthose maintain-
ing relationships and contact with
individuals inquiring about voca-
tions. In addition there are a number
year, the Saint Johns Benedictine
Volunteer Corps is going strong,
thanks to generous support from
our donors. There are two items in
particular that illustrate our strength:
First, two monasteries have been
added as new BVC sitesMount
Saint Benedicts in Trinidad and New
Norcia Abbey in Western Australia.
The men being sent there are self-
starters, willing to build the program
from the ground up. The second item
is the number of applicants to the
Benedictine Volunteer Corps this
year40 in all! This is a signicant
increase compared with last year.
The caliber of the men who applied
was high, which made for some very
difcult decisions.
There are a myriad of possibilities
as to why the number of applicants
skyrocketed, but only one is certain:
The generosity of you, our donors.
Continued support from our current
donors, as well as the contributions of
rst-time donors, ensures that Saint
Johns University alumni will have
the opportunity to serve the Church
and the world, in the context of
Benedictine community and prayer, for
years to come. Lives are transformed,
especially those of the Benedictine
volunteers themselves. We thank
you, the people who support us, both
nancially and by keeping us in prayer.
May God bless you as we have been
blessed with the success of the Saint
Johns Benedictine Volunteer Corps!

of monks who will be serving as
consultants, assistants, and hosts.
Also of note, at Morning Prayer
on July 8, the abbey received two
new novices into the community:
Novice Bradford Rothrock and
Novice Aidan Putnam. Brad is
originally from Tucson, Arizona,
and will soon complete his
dissertation as a doctoral candidate
in theology and education at the
Boston College School of Theology
and Ministry. Aidan is from
Oakland, California, has managed
a caf for the last few years and has
been active as a minister of faith
formation in his parish. Both Brad and
Aidan completed their three-month
Candidacy program in May. We look
forward to their being part of the
community.
Congrats to
Brad and Aidan!
T
he Saint Johns Alumni and
Friends Cemetery is a ministry
that serves alums, oblates, and friends
who nd that their experiences at
Saint Johns and of the Benedictine
heritage keep them connected here.
Many alums talk about the spiritual
home that Saint Johns has been and
continues to be: an anchor in busy and
mobile lives.
Visitors to the cemetery will
experience a beautiful, peaceful
place of natural beauty. In its quiet
setting south of the main campus, the
cemetery overlooks Lake Sagatagan
to the east and, behind a border of
trees, Watab Lake to the west. With
its gently sloping hills and landscaping
elements, it also attracts some amazing
wildlife that includes deer, fox, bald
eagles, and the loons calling at sunrise
and sunset. It is a campus destination
that can provide a prayerful setting
and at the same time a reective place
for remembering loved ones, friends,
classmates, teachers and mentors.
Historically, the cemetery has
been in existence since the 1860s, and
with the expansion of the alumni and
friends addition in 2007, additional
ground space along with granite
cremation walls assure adequate
cemetery space for years to come.
