People walk outside Monte Cassino Shrine in St. Meinrad, Ind., after the Oct. 1, 2017 blessing of the shrine after two years of restoration efforts. Named after the famous Italian monastery founded by St. Benedict, the shrine has a history nearly as long as the nearby Benedictine-run St. Meinrad Archabbey, dating back to 1870.
