Hey everyone,
Please see our blog for an article by sports writer Peter King which features St. Vincent Archabbey. As many of you know, the Archabbey hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers summer training camp and has done so for over 40 years, people joke that the Steelers have a special advantage as they have 170 some monks praying for their health and for right judgment. Anyway, it is pretty cool to be featured in an international sports magazine and for the writer to mention the Benedictine hospitality he has received here...as our Holy Father St. Benedict says, "Let all guests be received as Christ." O yeah, "Go Steelers!!!" lol_roll.gif
