Saint Bernard Monastery and Its Selfless Guardians
The St Bernard monastery near the Alpine pass, founded in 962 by St Bernard de Menthon, is run by about 15 Augustinian canons and seven attendants. They serve travelers without charging for board, relying on a poor box that barely sustains the lodge. The monks endure harsh climates, retire after about 15 years due to health, and are celebrated for their sacrifices. The pass’s mean annual temperature is 29 degrees, and Napoleon marched 30,000 troops through in 1800. Once wealthy, the institution has faced modern financial neglect and vicissitudes.
