Saint Sigfrid´s Hermitage

Sweden

After almost 20 years of monastic life as a Benedictine monk, Father Benedict was authorised by his superiors to settle in Sweden as a hermit. In doing so, he followed the special call he received to retire with Christ to the silence of the desert to serve God in prayer and penance, for the salvation and conversion of souls, especially in Sweden and Scandinavia. He prays in particular that Sweden may rediscover its Catholic heritage, reconnect with its Catholic roots and be reunited with the Holy Catholic Church, the only way to salvation.

Father Benedict devotes his life to prayer and labour, in seclusion from the world. Every day he offers the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass according to the traditional Catholic and apostolic rite. Once at night and seven times a day he prays the traditional Benedictine Office. He supports himself by sculpting statues of saints in his workshop (https://sankt-eriks-konstverkstad.se).

Father Benedict would be very grateful if you could help him to continue his mission in Sweden through your prayers and support.
