Benedictines
Magazine
Benedictines magazine is a journal exploring issues of interest to monastic
women and men. It contains articles on scripture, spirituality, community life,
ministry, prayer and liturgy. Begun in 1946, it was originally titled The Benedictine
Review. The founding editor was Sister Imogene Baker, renowned for her scholarship
and leadership in the monastic world. For over fifty years, five editors have
carried on the tradition of reflecting contemporary monastic perspectives and
suggesting future possibilities.
Magistra
For ten years, the journal VOX BENEDICTINA brought its readers quality scholarship
in the history of feminine spirituality. When it was no longer published, this
spiritual and scholarly tradition was taken up by two of its former associate
editors, Dr. Deborah Vess and Sister Judith Sutera, OSB, under the new title
MAGISTRA. For five years, this daughter publication has continued to provide
the same type of material to its family of readers.
Community Bibliography
The Benedictine monastery in Atchison, Kansas, begun by Mother Evangelista
Kremmeter and six other sisters, grew to establish many Catholic schools in
the midwest. At Mount St. Scholastica Academy and College, thousands of young
women received the education, preparation and training for their future lives.
Many pupils at the Academy and College in Atchison entered the novitiate and
became Benedictine Sisters and later taught in the schools operated by the
sisters. Some of these sisters were among the first women to receive master's
degrees and doctorates in the United States. Sister Helen Sullivan, for example,
(a native of Effingham, Kansas, in Atchison County) was honored at the Smithsonian
Institute in Washington, D.C., for having obtained a Doctor of Philosophy degree
in mathematics before 1940. In 1933 Sister Mary Theresa Brentano was awarded
the first Doctor of Philosophy degree in English from the University of Kansas.
This is a listing of the sisters' writings that attests to the educational
achievements of the Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica, Atchison, Kansas. Copies
of some of these writings are in the archives at Mount St. Scholastica.
