Benedict Hall

Benedict Hall on the former St. Gregory’s University campus in Shawnee. Whitney Bryen/Oklahoma Watch

St. Gregory’s University for me was a second home because of amount of time I had spent there. I always found myself amazed by the architecture and found it breathtaking during the day, and haunting at night. I grew up around Shawnee Oklahoma and worked at St. Gregory’s and knowing what I know now, I wish I could have experienced the architecture as it is and not what I thought it was. I always thought it was a beautiful campus.

St. Gregory was a private Catholic university in Shawnee Oklahoma from 1875 till 2017. After damages from natural disasters, the campus was too expensive to maintain and only the monks remain on campus at the monastery on site.
