St. Peter’s Abbey

In this eighth episode, Kevin Power explores the history of St. Peter’s Abbey in the village of Muenster, about 120km east of Saskatoon.  The town gets named after the city of Münster, Germany and that’s not the only German influence to be found here.  In this episode Kevin is joined by the St. Peter’s Abbott Peter Novescosky, and Father Lawrence DeMong as they share the history of St. Peter’s from its early days to life as it is today.
