Conception Seminary College Summary

Conception Abbey is a Roman Catholic monastery of the Swiss-American Congregation of the Benedictine Confederation. The monastery, founded by Engelberg Abbey, Switzerland, in 1873, was raised to a conventual priory in 1876 and elevated to an abbey in 1881. At present the community numbers sixty-five monks who celebrate the Eucharist and Liturgy of the Hours daily and who staff and administer Conception Seminary College, the Printery House, and the Abbey Guest Center. was appointed first abbot of Conception Abbey in 1881; Abbots of Conception Abbey were then elected by the capitulars of the community:Philip Ruggle, O.S.B. Over the decades Conception Abbey attempted a number of foundations: St. Michael Priory in Cottonwood, Idaho; Conception Abbey, in northwest Missouri’s Nodaway County, was established 8 December 1873 by Benedictine monks of the Swiss abbey of Engelberg as a place of refuge should their monastery be suppressed by the Swiss government. The founders of Conception Abbey were Fathers Frowin Conrad, O.S.B. Educated by the Jesuits as a youth, he entered the abbey school of Einsiedeln to study theology and then entered monastic life at Engelberg. When he was twenty-eight, he left Ingenbohl for Grafenort in Unterwalden to work on the estate belonging to the Abbey of Engelberg. Adelhelm Odermatt, O.S.B., a monk of Engelberg, former professor in Engelberg’s school and assistant pastor of the Engelberg parish at the time Frowin Conrad was pastor of the parish. Fr Adelhelm and Fr Frowin, prior of the new foundation, seem to have disagreed about the nature of the new foundation in Missouri: Fr Frowin was influenced by the customs of the Beuronese foundations and Saint Meinrad Abbey in Indiana while Fr Adelhelm hoped to reproduce in the United States Engelberg’s observance and spirit. Fr Adelhelm and another Engelberg monk, left Conception on 1 June 1881 seeking a location for a new monastery. At this date the community numbered In the Album Benedictum published for 1880 it was noted that the monks served the following parishes: one priest served the cathedral in St. Joseph, Missouri, one priest served Saint Columba Parish in Conception, Missouri (with its missions at Albany, Saint Patrick’s, Dolorosa in Gentry County and Guilford and Whitesfield in Worth County), and two priests served Saint Mary Parish in Maryville and its stations in Nodaway County at Barnard, Bolkow, Hopkins, Pickering, and Rosendale. The Abbey Church of Conception was designed by Adrian Wewer, a Franciscan. Fr Philip and Bro Damian were buried in the abbey cemetery following the Mass of Christian Burial celebrated on June 14, at which 1200 relatives and friends of the abbey were present.
