The Saint Vincent Store
Welcome to the web store of Saint Vincent Archabbey Publications and other Saint Vincent Archabbey Products.
Saint Vincent Archabbey is the first Benedictine monastery in North America. Originally Saint Vincent was a parish in western Pennsylvania founded in 1790 called Sportsman's Hall. Boniface Wimmer, a Benedictine priest from Bavaria traveled to America with 18 followers in 1846 to establish Saint Vincent Archabbey, Seminary, Parish and College near Latrobe.
Since that time Saint Vincent Benedictines have been involved in pastoral, educational and scholarly work throughout the world. This store makes available, in one place, currently published and available works by our Benedictines, as well as works produced in other mediums and some of the products of our campus stores, the Basilica Gift Shop and the Gristmill General Store.
