Centenary St. Benedict Menni

Sisters Hospitallers mark the centenary of the death of their Founder St. Benedict Menni.

Today, 24 April 2014, in Dinan (France), we officially mark the beginning of the centenary commemoration year of the death of St. Benedict Menni, restorer of the Order of the Brothers of St. John of God and founder of the Congregation of Sisters Hospitallers.

Sisters, Brothers and those collaborating with both Institutions will hold a solemn Eucharist as the central activity of the series of seminars and reflections on the person and legacy of this prophet of Hospitality.
