- Abstract
"Like A Mustard Seed: A History of the First Benedictine Women's Monastery in North America 1852-2014" is a book that provides a comprehensive and historically contextualized account of the St. Joseph's Monastery in St. Marys, Pennsylvania. The book chronicles the monastery's 162-year history, highlighting its contributions to education and healthcare in the town. The author, Ephrem Hollermann, discusses the challenges and successes faced by the community, including changes in practices and an increase in vocations during its 150th anniversary. The monastery ultimately closed in 2014 due to challenges with an aging building. The text praises Sister Ephrem Hollermann's empathetic and respectful approach in honoring the sisters' faithful work.
