• On Sunday, April 30, 2017, Sacred Heart Monastery will collaborate with St. Procopius Abbey to host its seventh wine tasting dinner.
  Benefit tickets are $250 per person. The proceeds will go to the St. Scholastica Scholarship Fund of the Saint Benedict Education Foundation to help provide scholarships to educate Benedictine Sisters from developing countries at Sant’Anselmo, the Benedictine University in Rome.
  Each year the specialty foods of a different region of the world are served. This year the menu choices will be Greek. The Villa St. Benedict Culinary Staff prepares and serves the meal. A local sommelier details the age and types of wine paired with each course. Honorees this year will be the new Abbot Primate Gregory Polan and Sister Judith Ann Heble, CIB Moderator. Please RSVP by April 10.
