Description

The tale of the Sisters of St. Walburg Monastery started with five Benedictine sisters arriving in Covington in 1859 to show English to German immigrants. These five sisters were the start of a Roman Catholic religious community that, over the course of 150 years, established schools, hospitals, a college, and a nursing home. The sisters follow the traditional Rule of St. Benedict and served graciously, creating and staffing these facilities for decades. Images of The us: The Benedictine Sisters of St. Walburg Monastery presents a pictorial history of the community in Covington and Villa Hills, the universities and hospitals where the sisters worked, and the familiar faces of folks that were part of it all. Following the Benedictine tradition of prayer, community, and service, the Sisters of St. Walburg Monastery have contributed to the welfare of the folks of northern Kentucky and beyond.
