It was the care of the elderly that brought the Sisters of St. Benedict to Beech Grove, Indiana where, in 1960, we opened St. Paul Hermitage, a retirement and nursing care facility. Now, nearly fifty years later, the care of the elderly remains an important part of their ministry.

From the beginning, St. Paul Hermitage has been recognized as a leader in the area of healthcare for the aged and infirm. Always operating at full capacity, the Hermitage offers a truly Christian atmosphere where our residents can attend daily mass and receive the sacraments.

A $4 million capital campaign in the early '90's provided a new wing for those in long-term care and better equipped us to serve the needs of people in residential and assisted living.

One of our residents coined the following while describing her home, "If heaven has a lobby, St. Paul Hermitage is it." We are privileged to serve those so close to heaven and invite you to come for a visit and see for yourself.
