Why Mat Monks?

Our wrestling club is unique in that it is student-athlete operated and led by wrestlers at Benedictine College. Our namesake comes from the Benedictine Monks at St. Benedicts Abbey who show a very high level of commitment to a life in Christ and extreme self discipline which we strive to emulate. The values practiced by the monks at St. Benedicts Abbey are principles, which are not only worth guiding our club, but also guide us in our personal lives towards successful, virtuous, and happy lives.
