3. Vow formula written by Mother Benedicta Riepp, OSB, foundress of the Bavarian branch of American Benedictine Sisters

Creator:
Riepp, Mother Benedicta
Date Created:
1846
Description:
Orgins of St. Benedict's Monastery (convent). Mother Benedicta (Sybilla) Riepp was born in Waal, Bavaria in 1825. Having entered St. Walburg Convent in Bavaria, she made her profession of vows there at the age of 21. Six years later, she was one of the first volunteers to go to America to teach the children of the German immigrants. She was appointed the superior of that first group and is, therefore, regarded as the foundress of the Bavarian branch of Benedictine Sisters in America. Though of slight and delicate build and barely able to meet the challenges of frontier life in Pennsylvania, Mother Benedicta was strong in her determination to follow the German immigrants to the farther mid-western frontier which later became the state of Minnesota. Her legacy to the American foundations was her steadfast effort to achieve autonomy for her sisters in America. Because he took responsibility for the sisters' coming to the New World, Abbot Boniface Wimmer, OSB, felt he had jurisdiction over them and often determined internal affairs of the convents, including accepting candidates and appointing superiors. Mother Benedicta returned to Europe to have their cause for autonomy presented to Rome. Eventually her efforts succeeded, but broken in health, she returned to America--to St. Cloud, Minnesota--where she died of tuberculosis at the age of 33. She is buried in the cemetery at St. Benedict's Monastery, St. Joseph. General translation of Mother Benedicta's vow formula at St. Walburg Convent, Bavaria: I, Sister Maria Ana Benedicta, promise before God and his Saints, Stability, and Conversion of my morals, Obedience, Poverty and Chastity according to the Rule of Saint Benedict and the Statutes of this Monastery, which was constructed in honor of Saint Walburga, Virgin, in the presence of Reverend Mother (Saint Benedict's Monastery Archives; McDonald, pages 8, 14-19, 49).

4. Sample design for needlework, Art and Needlework (Vestment) Department, St. Benedict's Convent, St. Joseph, MN

Date Created:
1900?
Description:
Expansion of Monastery (1880-1909). This sample pattern for needlework done by Sister Felicitas Knapp was one of the designs of roses, the motif used for an entire set of vestment known as the "rose vestments." Note the number-coding written on the pattern as a guide for the color of threads to be used. Sister Felicitas was an accomplished artist and well known for her 30 years of extra-curricular service of making and caring for the costumes used for plays given at the academy/college. Her realistic embroidery and rare gift for color combination was recognized by Harper Magazine, a publishing firm of New York City. She entered an embroidery contest sponsored by the Harper's Bazaar in 1910. There were 3,000 entries and she received the fourth prize. In 1900, she was appointed assistant to the directress of the needlework (vestment) department of St. Benedict's Convent. Her own sister, Sister Justina Knapp, was the directress and held that position for 45 years. The sisters had engaged in this art from their early beginning in Minnesota. Mother Willibalda Scherbauer, who as a young girl had received scholarships to attend the Royal Institute in Altötting, Bavaria, for eight years, brought this art to the New World. She taught the young members of the community to do fine embroidery and offered the first class in art needlework in their school in St. Cloud. When the sisters moved from St. Cloud to St. Joseph, Mother Willibalda appointed Sister Irmina Kretzer as the directress of the community's embroidery department. In 1895 Sister Justina Knapp was appointed the directress. It was Sister Justina's efforts and skill that provided energy and direction to the community's contribution to the art of needlework and the making of vestments. The department began in a small attic room in the first convent/school complex in St. Joseph, but in every new building or addition to the convent/academy, space was made available for this work. The department gradually evolved into the vestment department to which an entire floor of a new convent building (St. Walburg's) was dedicated. Many sets of hand-embroidered vestments, often embellished with gold thread, were purchased by parishes around the country. (Saint Benedict's Monastery Archives).
