Just under a year old and already the Art and Heritage Place built by the St. Benedict Monastery has become renowned not only in St. Joseph, MN but the world over as 5000 visitors have been welcomed to the museum.
In the ^^^^ 9600 square foot structure the public is able to view and evep purchase the intricate artistic works of the sisters along with other

artisans in
the Whitby Gallery and
Gift Shop.
Also visitors can observe nearly 4000 relics dating back to 1857 which depict the struggle and skillful determination of the Benedictines.
This union of past and present enables the public to view the artwork of the preceding generations in the context of today. Due to space constraints in the former Whitby Gift Shop none of the work of past sisters was able to be viewed by the public.
According to S. Ruth museum curator and tour guide "combining the two made a lot of sense." In fact the museum is considered an

important educational tool in teaching the public about monastic life.
The museum documents the lives and ministries of the sisters, specifically related to the sisters' involvement in music, literagy, mission, education, and healthcare. The museum also depicts the instrumental role =„«=_„_ Benedictines had in the formation of additional monasteries in the
United States and around the world.
Yet the creative
________ process
behind the museum's development was extensive and required the use of grant funding.
For that reason the sisters found it necessary to put aside some of their modesty and expose their artistic talents to the rest of the world.
Therefore patrons generally depart with the knowledge of the Benedictine's apparent appreciation for fine art in all its various forms.
The success of the Art and Heritage Place is obvious as visitors continue to appreciate the intricate art exhibitions and historical displays.
However, the goal of the museum, S. Ruth said is reflected in the "nostalgic" sense

patrons feel at the end of their visits.
In fact the struggle depicted in the historical displays mirror the effort required for every family to establish itself on foreign ground as people are touched by the sisters' pioneering spirit and perseverance.
Thus the common bond of humanity is reinforced through the museum's "atmosphere of spirituality" as one visitor said.
So any person looking for an experience that will impact his or her life should spend an hour or an afternoon at the Art and Heritage
Place.
Currently on display is a mixed media exhibit by S. Thomasette Scheeler entitled "Small Vessels." The exhibit goes through September 28, 2001. Don't miss your chance to view this interesting exhibit.
Also on display is the first a four part exhibit on Sacred Fabrics, this primarily contains the very earliest needlework. This display contin-uew until 2002. If one is in the market for a souvenir there are cards and bookmarks with replicas of the intricate designs.

The LaPlayette is hosting Breaker, Breaker's first comeback show this Saturday night, the first of September.
The show begins at 9:00 p.m. and the band will be playing until closing time.
This is their first show in the area since last semester when they opened up the Pinestock festivities for Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, and Wookiefoot.
The winner of ^—^^ the SJU Battle of the Bands for the years 2000 and 2001 has been anything but idle this past summer.
While all of them have been busy taking extra summer courses, working a nine to five job, slaving at an internship, or just hanging out with long lost friends from their hometowns, Breaker
Breaker has been getting their name out to potential fans in the Twin Cities and other surrounding areas.
When asked how shows in the cities differ from those here at school, the band agreed.
"There was a lot of the same crowd from St. John's and St. Ben's that came to our shows in the cities. So it was kind of the same crowd we've been playing to for the last couple of years. However, it's always fun to play in different atmos-

pheres."
Breaker, Breaker is making their mark on the local music scene. If you haven't heard of them yet, you will soon.
The band played the ever-popular Taste of Minnesota and also got to impress the folks at the Cabooze in Minneapolis, the Fineline bar, Dibbo's, the 400 Bar, O'Gara's in St. Paul and other live music facilities in the Twin Cities. They also have made
appearances at ----------- the Red Carpet
in St. Cloud.
None of these bars or clubs, however, can hold a candle to the intensity of B r 0 t h e r Willie's Pub when Breaker, Breaker strikes that first chord to their more popular songs such as 15 Days of Rain or Samba Du Despite the
band's ability to pack in a good crowd anywhere they play.
"The Pub is the best because you're playing a show for all of your friends. It's like playing at home," says bassist Matt Merten.
The band does intend to play more shows at the Pub this year so keep your eyes and ears open.
Breaker, Breaker's concert at the La promises to re-introduce CSB and SJU students to the band; improved and fired up to blow your hair back.
So if you're looking to have a blast during your first weekend back at school, the LaPlayette is definitely the place to be to see some old friends playing on stage and doing what they love to do.
