Join us as we plan for St. Meinrad's 150th Anniversary

The St. Meinrad Commemorative History Book is a collection of photographs and information from throughout St. Meinrad’s 150 years, including the 2011 Sesquicentennial celebration. You and your family will cherish this keepsake for years to come. Place an order for your copy today!

In 2011, from June 9-12, we will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the town and parish of St. Meinrad. Please join us as we prepare to celebrate our Sesquicentennial.
