If you hear a number of College of Saint Benedict, Saint John’s University and Order of Saint Benedict employees singing anniversary songs in the next few weeks, don’t be alarmed.

That’s because 136 employees are celebrating anniversaries of five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 years in 2021.

If you add the combined years of service of those 136 employees, it would total 2,030 years.
