The Places Joe Likes to Go
Brother Joseph Ryan is a fervent explorer of the catacombs of St. Benedict's Abbey. He enjoys searching for that new nook or cranny hidden within the walls or beneath the floors of this old, labyrinthine building. Dan Madden discussed Brother Joe's interest of the innerworking of the Abbey in his Fall 2008 Kansas Monks article "The war against waste within the walls of St. Benedict’s"
Brother Joe recently took a few of the younger monks and a vocations visitor on a tour of the "Places Brother Joe Likes to Go." Check a few of the photos.
