Christ the King Priory

Christ the King Priory is a Benedictine monastery north of Schuyler, Nebraska, in the United States. It was founded in 1935 from the Abbey Muensterschwarzach ( Lower Franconia ). It belongs to the Congregation of the Missionary Benedictines of St. Ottilia and is a member of the Benedictine Confederation. As a Benedictine Mission House, the monastery should first mainly ensure the survival of the mission work of the congregation during the Nazi dictatorship. In 1979, the monastery building, which is built into a unique way in the hills, by the architects Astle and Ericson ( Salt Lake City, Omaha ) was completed. In 1985 the monastery was raised to a simple priory. Today, the monks work primarily as a fundraiser in the United States for the missions of the Congregation throughout the world. They also lead a retreat house and support people of Hispanic origin in their immigration problems.

In 1997, the Benedictine priory expanded its tasks to a retreat and guest house. In St. Benedict Center Benedictine offer their hospitality and spirituality all who are looking for personal and spiritual growth. They are called both individual guests and groups of all Christian denominations welcome. The retreat center also operates a bookstore.
