Monastery welcomes Lexi the rescue dog at Sacred Heart
Lexi, a four year old Yorkshire Terrier rescued from Louisiana after Hurricane Ida, joins the 69 Benedictine Sisters at Sacred Heart Monastery in Yankton South Dakota. The dog helps ease Parkinson’s anxiety, lift spirits, and provide companionship amid pandemic isolation. Lexi adapts to monastery life, walks with nuns, and is cared for by Sister Margo and others.
